Preview: The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

Friday, July 25th, 2008

When I was 17 I read my first Clive Barker short story and instantly became a lifelong fan. That story was the midnight meat train, and for some reason it scared the shit outta me like no written word had ever done before. Now some 20+ years later the story (with what seems to be [...]

Preview: Watchmen (2009)

Friday, July 18th, 2008

After 20 years of development Zack Snyder (300 2006) finally brings the watchmen graphic novels to the big screen. Previously directors such as Terry Gilliam (Brazil 1985) declared the material “unfilmable”. But I think Snyder’s got the right idea in stating that “in order to be true to the source when adapting a graphic novel [...]

Preview: Burn After Reading (2008)

Friday, July 18th, 2008

The Coen brothers (No Country for Old Men 2007) are at it again and doing it as only the Coen brothers can, with a huge all star cast. This time it’s a comedy about found CIA secrets, and the silly things people will do to hide them. Starring are, get ready, Brad Pitt (Oscar nominee [...]

movies + personal shit

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

I have to admit that this week depression has been kicking my butt. My sleeping schedule has been all shot to hell, and I’m not looking forward to my measly four hour shift at work tomorrow later today; it’s just not fun anymore. I keep blaming my new pills and pms, hoping that this mood [...]

preview: the dark knight (2008)

Monday, December 17th, 2007

I swore I’d be one of the first to post this, and here it is… the first official trailer for The Dark Knight (aka Batman Begins 2 2008). I’m skipping the usual write-up on this one, cuz I’ve got to get to bed. Here’s the official website and the Harvey Dent campaign site. [...]

fall movie previews for november

Friday, September 28th, 2007

These are some of my recommendations for November. Take them, or leave them. But you know I’ll be there.
American Gangster (2007) - This movie started off as just an article called “the return of superfly” in a New York magazine. When Universal picked it up in 2000, it changed the name to [...]

poster art: 2046 (2004)

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

What can I say?  I just love the colors and the overall look of it. 

From writer/director Kar Wai Wong (Chung Hing sam lam aka Chungking Express 1994) 2046 (2004) is the sequel to Fa yeung nin wa (aka In the Mood for Love 2000).  It’s hard to know what to expect from a movie with [...]

fall movie previews for october

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Someone said the other day that there wasn’t anything good to look forward to this fall. So I decided to put together a fall preview over-view. Basically a list containing some of the movies that looked interesting to me, but everyone should be able to find something they like here.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age [...]

preview: 3:10 to yuma (2007)

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

The movie that finally puts Yuma on the map wasn’t even filmed here. 3:10 to Yuma (2007), due for wide release next month, was filmed entirely in New Mexico. This remake of the 1957 classic of the same name is about a proud citizen and family man (Christian Bale - Batman Begins 2005) [...]

preview: the box (2008)

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

This preview is coming to you so early that there is virtually no information available yet, but I’m so excited about it that I just had to write it up. Richard Kelly, the write/director of Donnie Darko (2001), has chosen a Richard Matheson short story as his next cinematic production. Matheson may not [...]

preview: good luck chuck (2007)

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

While we’re on the topic of date movies I thought I’d direct your attention to Good Luck Chuck (2007), due for wide release September 21. This feature film from first time director Mark Helfrich (best film editing satellite award winner for X-Men: The Last Stand 2006) stars Dane Cook (Mr. Brooks 2007) as every [...]

preview: untitled j. j. abrams project (2008)

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

When I saw Transformers (2007) the other night they previewed this trailer and I just had to share it with everyone. All that’s being said is that it’s a J.J. Abrams (“Lost” 69 episodes, 2004-2007) project due for release January 18th 2008. It’s not even got a title yet; though the script has [...]

preview: skinwalkers (2006)

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

See grandma kick some ass later this month with the release of Skinwalkers (2006). A story of warring werewolves after the same 12 year old boy (Matthew Knight - young Harry Dresden on “The Dresden Files”). James Isaac (Jason X 2001) hasn’t shown great promise as a director yet, but he has [...]

preview: rise - blood hunter (2007)

Monday, July 9th, 2007

Currently in limited release is yet another vampire movie. Lucy Liu (Emmy nominee for “Ally McBeal” 1997) plays “victim, vampire, assassin” Sadie Blake in Rise: Blood Hunter (2007). Surprisingly there isn’t much information available on this film. We’re told it’s from the producing team that gave us The Grudge (2004). And [...]
