Trailer for ‘The Bridge’

It could be the title of some new Korean horror film, that was my first impression when I heard about it, but no. The Bridge is a documentary about the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the people that go there each year:

Richard Linklater to do ‘Last Detail’ sequel

In an interview with MTV Linklater reported he's interested in making a sequel to the 1973 film 'The Last Detail', a film basically about three sailors getting drunk (Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid and Otis Young). Linklater told MTV:

Zombies roam New Mexico desert

OK, I love zombie movies, and my quality tollerance for zombie films is really quite low, but even I thought the first two Resident Evil films were shit.

With a script so sharp and a [...]

‘Journey to the End of the Night’ stills and poster
