‘Machete’ poster… killer tagline

This isn’t new news, but I just picked up the official Grindhouse book (not worth the full price, but it was on sale) and it had this (above) in the back. I vaguely remember seeing smaller versions of it kicking around before when Rodriguez had talked about making ‘Machete’ into a proper feature… but going [...]

Teen Horniness Is Not a Crime

When the Southland Tales trailer came out the boss said:
“It still looks like a mess to me, interesting.. but a mess. I want to be proven wrong but I don’t think I will“.
I don’t mind the mess at all just as long as it doesn’t suck. I’m tired of movies foreshadowing every dumb move and [...]

Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson chat… and it isss awkward

I still haven’t seen ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ (or the Darjiling as Wilson pronounces it) but our boy Marek checked it out and liked it a lot. I love Wes Anderson, but this ‘interview’ gives me the creeps. Wilson’s obviously either medicated or still fragile from his suicide attempt.. or more likely both, I keep expecting [...]

New ‘I am Legend’ trailer… looks like utter shit, are they using leftover CGI from ‘The Mummy’??

For people who know and love the book I think the trailers for ‘I am Legend’ looked like a let down, with really nothing in common with the book except the overall concept. For genre fans or people who love Horror they also sat in the hater camp. As a fan of the book, and [...]

“It’s a Wes Anderson film, you know!” A look at ‘The Darjeeling Limited’

I’m not going to call The Darjeeling Limited a return to form for Wes Anderson because ‘The Life Aquatic’ was a hugely entertaining movie. The general consensus seems to be that his previous shark-chasing Bill Murray starrer was a bit overblown and superficial, the classic ‘third album’ if you will (although his forth film). For [...]

Daniel Day-Lewis gives me the stink eye

I love it. Day-Lewis looks creepy as hell in the trailers for Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘There will be blood’ and he seem to be able to do the same in poster form too. Well either creepy, or like he just let go of a fart, tried to hide it, but it was obvious to everyone [...]

‘Good, hot, black coffee’. Twin Peaks Boxset…frustration

OK, buying dvds is a minefield. One false move and BLAM you’re sat there shitting yourself with bloody stumps where your arms used to be. Well maybe not quite that bad, but it’s still fucked. There’s a new ‘definitive’ edition of Twin Peaks being released on dvd this month. The problem being that in this [...]
