THE LOSERS trailer!

Let's see, we have guns, explosions, one liners, a beautiful woman, and a ton of slow motion... could be fun!

 

 

Mega Shark science!

Yes Please!

A great, albeit obvious, poster.

Vodka and Robots

Premiering tonight at the Sundance Film Festival, I'M HERE is a 30 minute love story about the relationship between two robots living in L.A.,  written and directed by Spike Jones, AND sponsored by Absolute Vodka. I guess robots get loaded too... although I already knew that.

You can find a trailer for it here.

Who am I to judge you Stanley?

Utah calling...

There are many reasons I wish I was in Park City right now: the Sundance Film Festival, the Slamdance Film Festival, jumping back and forth from hot tub to snowbank... and particularly for the world premiere of THE RUNAWAYS, the first feature film directed by Floria Sigismondi. Check out more picks over at Collider.

And I'm definitely intrigued by HESHER, the story of a 13-year-old boy and his father move in with their grandmother to pick up the pieces of their life after their mother's death. Soon the boy meets Hesher, a chain-smoking anarchist head banger who loves blowing things up. Together they might help each other.

First off, I'll watch anything with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it, and secondly, it's directed by Spencer Susser, who you might know from his zombie short I LOVE SARAH JANE.

What was new(s)...

Happy New Year! OK, a little late for that, so what?! I'm not an early riser, sue me!
Here's some this and that I've noticed recently:

AVATAR makes all the money, which is pretty surprising for a re-boot of Disney's POCAHONTAS. I'm glad I got the full on IMAX 3-D experience, but otherwise I found it pretty forgettable, except for Michelle Rodriguez being fierce as always.

I enjoyed the Hell out of SHERLOCK HOLMES, it was exactly what I expected, a big gay Victorian action romp. Just don't tell Andrea Plunket, who holds the US copyright to the literary Holmes saga how gay it was, as she has threatened to pull the rights if a sequel were to further explore Holmes in an homoerotic light. That's too bad really, as I really enjoyed the 'married couple' dynamic that Downey Jr. and Law brought to the material.

The first rule of fight club is, don't discuss the man-love...

New York state of mind

I stumbled on this great thread of photos from New York City during the 1970's and yanked out a bunch. Check out the marquees!!!

How lucky is that crack pipe?

Cage FTW!!! Perhaps not so ludicrous an idea, as he did win Best Male Performance according to The Toronto Film Critics Association :) Check out the rest of the awards here.

Dear TWILIGHT, this is a vampire.

Another poster for DAYBREAKERS, can't wait to see this again next month! Looks like they're doing the 'viral' thing on Twitter right here.

Movie poster of the week: PIRANHA

Which reminds me, shouldn't we have seen a trailer for Alexandre Aja’s PIRANHA 3-D by now?!?

Further 2010 Sundance Film Fest titles announced

Sundance has announced their out of competition selections, including their Park City At Midnight programme. Check it out here.

Wish I could be there to see Vincenzo Natali's science gone wrong tale SPLICE, the Joan Jett biopic THE RUNAWAYS, and Michael Winterbottom's latest THE KILLER INSIDE ME.

Robot, Dirty

Sundance 2010 first wave of titles announced

The Sundance Film Festival has announced their lineup of films in competition next month. What immediately caught my eye: Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a mysterious, anarchical trickster in HESHER, Jesse Eisenberg as a young Hasidic man who becomes an international Ecstasy smuggler in HOLY ROLLERS, and a film actually titled DOUCHEBAG?!? See the complete list here.

I've been to Sundance a couple of times, it's like spring break for film fest volunteers. Vodka and Red Bull and hot-tubs every night. What happens in Sundance... stays in Sundance.

Get off my roof Frenchie!

The new US trailer for DISTRICT 13: ULTIMATUM looks like shiny fun!

Remember the time you stood there holding that thing...?

EMPIRE has put together a photo shoot of big time stars vaguely recreating their 'iconic' performances, like when Viggo Mortensen held a sword, or when Jack Nicholson gave us a big toothy grin... Some of them are pretty cool, and some of them gave me pause, like how it's weird that Hermione has such nice legs, and how Mel Gibson looks less crazy with face paint than he often does in real life.
Check out the rest here.

 

...one chance out between two worlds...

Check out this great batch of TWIN PEAKS behind the scenes photos, taken by Richard Beymer (Ben Horne).
Which reminds me, I really need the Definitive Gold Box Edition Twin Peaks DVD!

Lifted from my dear friends at Row Three!
