Stupid, stupid, evil, cranky Hell-bent Miramax. You slippery, money-grubbing bastards. Again, sorry about the delays, it’s pretty busy this week – this story came up a few days ago, but I still can’t believe it. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single respectable thing that… [Read More]
Curse you Korea, and your love for killer box sets! Fans of Hong Kong Cinema polish up your credit cards and get set to spend some money … See those crazy looking binders in the picture? See them? Aren’t they pretty? Want to know what’s inside? Well, frankly, just about… [Read More]
Forget the useless “strike-fear-into-the-hearts-of-the-public-so-I-can-obtain-false-trust” antics of ‘Orange Alerts’… how’s this for a “Freak The Hell Out of the Public” response: And folks, according to the New York Times and NASA’s top press officer, this conversation would ACTUALLY happen, if you had the chance to ask: Ready?

Okay, a while back I actually had something good to say about HMV. No really. They had (in fact, they still have) a “two packages with 2 movies each for 40 bucks” sale. My post that referenced this sale got erased because I’m stupid. I’ll take it as an omen.… [Read More]

Well, let’s spur the rumours a little more shall we?

Hugh Jackman being the James Bond is a choice… [Read More]

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. I make no secret at all of the fact that I’m a HUGE admirer of Darren Aronofsky and I’ve been watching in agony as project after project has fallen apart on him … Seriously, this guy is just as snake bitten as… [Read More]
In the movie Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone’s character Spartan is frozen and woken up in a Utopian future. In this future Stallone hears mention of the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library. Spartan: “The actor? I thought he was Austrian?” Huxley: “He is, but in he spearheaded a movement to have non-American born… [Read More]
Many, many thanks to Opus for digging this up … Donnie Darko just may be the finest debut film that I’ve ever seen. It released at exactly the wrong time (the plane engine dropping through a teenage boy’s roof didn’t play particularly well in the aftermath of 9-11) but has… [Read More]
