01-18-08 Trailer

01-18-08 ('Cloverfield') are the working titles of the, as yet, unnamed JJ (Lost) Abrams Monster movie coming out on... well, there's a clue in the title. The trailer is already up on Apple Trailers and although it's only a teaser it does look pretty impressive. It's all filmed on camcorder so expect cinemas full of motion sickness a-la Blair witch. Trailer here. official site Here. Imdb Here and a bunch of nerds obsessing about it Here.

Ghosts of Cite Soleil : Trailer

Ghosts of Cite Soleil is bound to get compared to 'City of God' as the two show the brutality of destitution in a third World environment, but to compare them is wrong as they are totally different beasts. This film shows how the gangs from the slums of Port-au-Prince are basically used as private army's to the president Aristide and the corruption that enslaves them.

Trailer For Terry Gilliam's 'Tideland'

Ah loves me a bit of the Gilliam! Fair enough he's made some rot in his time but the genius far outweighs that then some. Brazil and 12 Monkeys are two of my favourite movies and this looks like it may be Gilliam back on form again. Whatever happened to his big screen version of 'The Watchmen' though?

Review : Babel

Does your office have one of those 'everjollys'? You know the type those anomalies who will come in from a torrential downpour, the kind that would've had Noah looking shirty, and proclaim to all and sundry that God's just put a spritz on their face. Well as we all know misery loves company so why don't you suggest they go to see an 'hilarious new romcom' called 'Babel'? I can assure you the next day they will come in and give you that look that says 'you've ruined my entire being'. Later on they will take an early sojourn and then most likely take a long walk of a short pier. Yes it is that grim. I watched it last night and thank God I live on the ground floor otherwise there would have been some unassisted base jumping going down. Good, but like having an V12 Dyson sucking at your very soul.

Oscar Campaign For 'Children Of Men'

Those folks over at Something Awful are having a grassroots campaign to get Alfonso Cuarón's Dystopian doom fest that was 'Children Of Men' an Oscar nomination. Briliant movie but they've got fuck all chance as it's not an American Indy about dysfuctional relationships/families.

Office Space Redux

The Burt Reynolds Museum

Moustachioed fud Burt Reynolds has his own museum, I'm not joking he does; it's in Jupiter City, Florida. The museum boasts everything anyone has ever given Burt Reynolds. Every award. Every photo. Every key to every city. Every honorary Sheriff’s badge. Every poster. Every movie script. Fucking magic, but apparently it's about to get shut down as the local council are planning on turning it into a science center. Shame. Link
