Across the Universe review





When you were in high school did you ever know those girls who had decided on their one thing that they absolutely loved and identified with and wanted to make sure everybody knew it? They usually had multiple trapper-keeper notebooks covered with puffy stickers and hearts. If it was a famous dude, they had their name with his last name written over and over again. For some it's Hello Kitty, Orlando Bloom, or unicorns but by… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #7: The Orphanage



Did anybody see Guillermo del Toro's The Devil's Backbone? Well, if you haven't you're really missing out. Part one of his Spanish Civil War trilogy (Pan's Labyrinth is part two) it's an effectively chilling and rewarding ghost story set against a bleak historical backdrop. Just knowing that this new spook fest from debut feature director Juan Antonio… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #6: There Will Be Blood





If Daniel Day Lewis decided tomorrow that all he was going to do was advertisements for cherry flavored butt lube, before any of us knew what was happening, we'd be up to our bulging forehead veins in the stuff. He's such an incredible force of nature that the best thing you can do is to leave a good script outside of his cave at night, set up the cameras and just let the man work by himself. Before you even have time… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #5: Postal





Uwe Boll. Where do you even start? This is the man who brought us video game to movie adaptations like House of the Dead and Bloodrayne so terrible, that they made Tomb Raider 2 look like Casablanca. This is the guy so offended by the universal bad reviews to his movies (which he insists are masterpieces) that he challenged… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #4: Southland Tales



Richard Kelly, the director of the cult film Donnie Darko, is finally ready for a wide release for his next film, and I don't envy him. Anticipation is high and there's almost no way to meet it. Donnie Darko created a rabid cult of fan boys (which I am admittedly one of) and they will be hard to please. Unfortunately, I think for most people, Southland Tales is going to fail…

Fantastic Fest Review #3: The Sword Bearer

The Sword Bearer

The Sword Bearer is a Russian film that at least on the outside appears to be about a guy who has a sword that comes out of his arm that is trying to destroy the people who hurt his family and to protect the woman he loves. I'm sure that's how the press packet describes it. How would I describe it? The most emo anti-hero (well, he never does anything really…

Fantastic Fest Revie #3: Aachi & Ssipak

AACHI AND SSIPAK







You know that movie you like thats really REALLY weird but you love it anyway because it's just so much fun? Well, Aachi & Ssipak beats it up and takes its lunch money.This is an animated Korean film by director Joe Beom-jin who almost certainly likes drugs a whole bunch. Fortunately much like the Beatles, he appears to be one of those guys who does their… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #2: Timecrimes

Fantastic Fest is a festival of a few big premieres, true. We got to see the first secret screening last night which was Richard Kelly's Southland Tales, but that's a tale for later (I got to finish figuring it out first). The true joy of the festival is discovering all the smaller and foreign films that Tim League and company have discovered. Some of these films due to the attention they get here go on to bigger and better things. Some, only the attendees of the… Continue

Fantastic Fest Review #1: George Romero's Diary of the Dead





Finally we got in to see the starting film of the festival, George Romero's Diary of the Dead. This was not going to be a continuation of his previous dead films, the last one being the luke-warm Land of the Dead, but was going to re-boot the series taking place somewhere else on day one...but updated to now.



Tim League (owner of the Alamo) came out first and introduced the film and all of us to… Continue

Fantastic Fest: The Opening Party

Ah, Fantastic Fest. The finest film festival for geeks like me on the planet. Seven straight days of horror, sci-fi and fantasy all served up with your choice of quality beers or food at the best movie theater on the planet: The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin Texas. Today was one of those days that makes one really happy to live here.



When I arrived at the front doors of the Alamo, I was surprised to see only a few lost looking souls wandering about. Sure, I was two… Continue

Fright Night Remake Sounds Nothing Like Fright Night

In this mad rush to remake every damn horror movie from the 70's and 80's I sometimes forget that there are some films out there that while I may not have dusted them off for awhile, still were perfect just the way they were. I personally didn't really care that they remade Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween or The Hills Have Eyes...yeah the original films are great in their own way, place in history, yada yada yada, but they weren't the films that made a young… Continue

Superheroes Getting Rushed Out to the Screen...and Who Cares?

Scary Movie 1-4, Epic Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, Date Movie...what do all these films have in common? Not one of them is as funny as even the ending credits of one of the Airplane! films that started this whole satire genre. An undemanding public who have kept America's Funniest Home Videos on the air for SEVENTEEN years and who piles the family into the SUV to go to the mall to see Norbit for the second time, keep noisily masticating their popcorn and… Continue

Fletch Dies

*sigh*



Sometimes, no matter how much you want something to happen, the psychic powers just won't kick in and make it happen. Seriously, most of the time I can make frakking people's head explode if I wink too much, but much like Hiro, sometimes my superpower just can't get fully erect. Even thinking about Jamie Summers and Diana Prince getting into a tickle fight doesn't help. And believe me, if it had you'd be seeing this as a blog title today:…

Waiting 2: If Anyone Says Electric Boogaloo I'll Kill Them.

It may come as a surprise to all of you that I have not always exclusively worked in film. In fact, I once worked for you, bringing you more salsa, mayonnaise, and most importantly, that holy relic of any restaurant near a sorority house, ranch. Night after night I toiled to make sure your fries weren't soggy and your salt had not washed off of your mediocarita before you got them. This of course had to be balanced against the prerequisite minimum of two smokes an hour, the occasional… Continue

New Friday The 13th Remake News and Expected Accompanying Snark

If you're a big horror fan, you've probably already heard that Michael Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, is working on a Friday the 13th reboot. A tipster over at Shock Till You Drop is saying that Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy Vs Jason) have been hired to write the film. Word was that Jonathan Liebesman (Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A New Beginning, Darkness… Continue

Richard Kelly Presents Darko Productions

Director Richard Kelly, best known for the cult hit Donnie Darko, has started his own production company called, appropriately enough, Darko Entertainment.



The company is picking up several films by other directors. First on the list is Dirty Girl about a titular character who joins up with a introverted girl in High School special ed class, and they go a-roadtripping.



Also to be released under the banner is Kelly's next film (after the 2 years… Continue

Cool Hulk Set Photos and News

Big, green, and hopefully not lame this time, The Incredible Hulk is currently filming in Toronto and Ronin Kengo has some cool pics of a pseudo-Harlem that's all kinds of smashed up.



Things seem to be progressing smoothly and quickly on this re-do that is written by Ed Norton, who also plays Bruce Banner, and is directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter,… Continue

Harry Potter May be the New James Bond

Harry Potter is tired of only having time to save the world and wants to move on to being able to get some serious play as well. What the hell am I talking about? Daniel Radcliffe apparently is being pursued for the role of the young James Bond in a new spin-off theatrical series based on a series of books.The story follows Bond through his college years and the inevitable adventures therein.



While this sounds like a pipe dream from the license holders of the… Continue
