‘Anvil!: The Story of Anvil’ poster… the new ‘The King of Kong’

I haven’t talked about this film yet, but trust me on this, in six months it’ll be the documentary every good film nerd will be talking about. I don’t wanna get hyperbolic about it, but i’d compare it to ‘The King of Kong’ in the way I think it will really get a lot of [...]

Alternative versions of posters… aw.e.some

It’s partly the graphic designer in me, partly the movie nerd and partly the obsessive child that collects everything, but I love seeing released posters, and the ones that will never see the light of day. I’m not sure if this is just a UK trend or what, but I sort of wish they would [...]

Cloverfield + Google Maps + Time + Nerds = ?

‘Triangle’ is the new film horror director Christopher [...]

and on [...]

Blood The Last Vampire. The ultimate success of this one [...]

Marc Singer’s excellent ‘Dark Days’ on google video

I think i’ve talked about Dark Days before, and Marc Singers new film (now scrapped) ‘Warriors’. Dark Days was a great debut for Singer and made a big splash on the festival circuit when it was released back in 2000, and it still holds up as a great piece of documentary film.
DARK DAYS, [...]
