This movie looks crazy. Truthfully I’m not exactly sure whats going on in it, but its described as “A contemporary sci-fi action film set within the architecture of the mind”. With Christopher Nolan at the helm, I have no doubts this movie will trip people out in some form or another. Debuts this Friday.
This is a few days old but I’m just getting around to seeing it and wondering how it will turn out. It takes the old MK concept and puts a new spin on it… I’m sure diehard fans will flock to this movie, but I’m skeptical. Are you excited for this flick?
Whaaaaaaaaat? Seriously, how do you fit this many action “stars” into one movie? There is a stupid amount of badassness in this movie… so far the tally is: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Randy Couture. They’re pretty much only missing Wesley Snipes, Jean Claude VanDamme, and the Rock. I thought this was going to be a parody action flick when I saw the ridiculous line-up. But since Stallone wrote/directed, maybe it won’t be a complete crapfest. After all, he did once win an Academy Award.
San Fran video DJ Mike Relm put together this cool trailer remix for Iron Man 2. Mike Relm does a crazy job mashing up audio with video in his DJ sets and this is just a small example of his talent. Iron Man 2 is out May 7th.
This new Banksy film is a little hard to explain, so I’m gonna let the summary do it for me…
“Exit Through the Gift Shop” tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.”
Debuts April 16th in the UK, and select US dates forthcoming…
If I say Charles Bronson, you’d probably think American actor with a “tough guy” image, but that is not what you should think. Michael Gordon Peterson is the real Charles Bronson, the real “tough guy”.
I’ll keep this as short as possible, Michael Peterson changed his name to Charles Bronson to further his bare-knuckle boxing career. He is the most violent prisoner in England because he has spent 34 years in prison, 30 of which he spent in solitary confinement for attacking prison guards, inciting unrest, and a number of hostage situations.
Originally, his sentence was only 7 years for robbery in 1974. He was initially released in 1988 and only spent 69 days as a free man before being arrested again. You can read more about Bronson here, or watch the recently made movie about his life entitled “Bronson”.
The movie reminds me of A Clockwork Orange in its imagery and pace. I wanted to post this because it is a great movie, about an extraordinarily unique person, and not enough people have seen it. Watch it! Watch it!
An Emasculating Truth from Emasculating Truth on Vimeo.
In An Emasculating Truth, Oscar Boyson investigates what it takes to be a man in the 21st century. Statistics say male testosterone levels have been dropping 1% a year over the past 20 years, so Oscar made this documentary short to find out what could be causing it and what defines a “man”. The video is presented by Dockers and interviews some interesting characters such as Glenn O’brien.
I’m not the biggest fan of the Predator movie series beyond the first one, but when I heard news that Robert Rodriguez was at the helm for the newest installment, I thought it was worth paying some attention to. /Film has a 2 minute sneak peek of the director speaking on the film and showing some clips with stars Adrien Brody and Lawrence Fishburne. Hopefully this movie doesn’t suck. You can view the full thing here.
Famous designer and ex-creative director of Gucci, Tom Ford, tries his hand at Hollywood with the big screen adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel “A Single Man”.
The film, starring Colin Firth, Julliane Moore, and Nicholas Hoult depicts the lives of three individuals who are all in their own way “lonely”. Through the interactions between the characters, the inevitable feeling of human isolation is explored. The characters ages and genders vary, making the film easily relatable to almost everyone.
Even if the the story line isnt your cup or tea, the cinematography and visuals are quite impressive. This is a film that I would highly recommend to everyone. It is still playing at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland Heights. Check it out.
For all the ladies that love color on their nails here is one of OPI’s newest collections called Alice in Wonderland. They are releasing this collection in conjunction with the new Alice in Wonderland Movie by Tim Burton. There are four new colors in this collection. They are Thanks to Muchness, Absolutely Alice, Mad as a Hatter, and Off with Her Red. My personal favorite is Absolutely Alice. Check out the trailer for the movie below:
The new “Wolfman” movie was released today. I haven’t seen it yet, but I do believe it will be able to outshine its predecessor starring Jack Nicholson, entitled “Wolf”. Needless to say, “Wolf”, was and is disappointing, considering the high caliber actors in it. “Wolf” is one of those movies that is so bad, it actually becomes somewhat entertaining halfway through. Check out the trailer for “Wolf” below, and hope that “Wolfman” isn’t a waste of 102 minutes of your life.
