First shot of Tarantino in ‘Sukiyaki Western Django’

Awesome. I’m not a fan of Tarantino as an actor but it’s still pretty cool to see him all dressed up on the set of a Takashi Miike film. Miike AKA ‘Mr six films a year’ has already probably made another film in the time it’s taken me to write this article, the guys a [...]

Frightfest 2007; ‘Black Water’, the ‘Doomsday’ trailer and anything else I caught…

The First image from ‘Daybreakers’ has been released (shown [...]

‘Quiet City’ trailer. I’m a sucker for these kind of indie flicks

I don’t know what it is, but these kind of low budget indie love stories hit me in my sappy spot. I think I might have some kind of deep emotional scarring. happy daysssss. Check out the trailer here
Reminds me a lot of the Mike Mills video for ‘All I need‘.
Basically if you combine some [...]
