Man I can’t wait to see THE ARISTOCRATS. Check out the trailer and shorts up on iFilm. I showed Belinda and my sister Anita the SOUTH PARK version of the joke a few months ago and they both nearly had a cardiac.

News just in from ContactMusic and relayed to me by Garth Kidd!!!

Hollywood legend AL PACINO is gearing up for another career defining role after signing to play NAPOLEON BONAPARTE in a forthcoming biopic of the French emperor.

I was fortunate enough to be at the Melbourne premier of this film last night as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival. LOOK BOTH WAYS is a wonderful film which explores our fears of our own mortality and how we deal with the death of people close to us. It is a very touching [...]

Ryuhei Kitamura’s VERSUS is, without a doubt, the best Japanese martial arts-cum-zombie film I’ve seen this year. How come I haven’t heard of this before??? I stumbled across it today in my local DVD store and I’m giving it four and a half stars.

Now that Suw is back from SF, we [...]

Holy freaky white-faced boy batman! This is one scary-ass movie. I’m just catching up with this whole JU-ON thing and, I have to say, this is the SCARIEST goddam film I’ve seen in memory.
Takashi Shimizu has apparently made this same movie THREE TIMES. First it was a straight-to-video really, really low budget version in [...]

IT’S CRAP! I’ll be talking about it on the next show, so don’t waste your time going to see it. Spielberg’s fallen into the same trap he did with AI and MINORITY REPORT - first two-thirds of the film is great, the last third SUCKS ASS.

I finally just watched this famous Batman fan film on IFILM and it’s pretty bloody terrific. It’s from 2003 and the photography, acting and SFX are all well done. Here’s some info about it on IMDB. Writer/Director Sandy Collora started work at 17 at Stan Winston studios as a SFX assistant. He’s also made [...]

Man, I only just heard about NIGHT WATCH this week from Bruce Moyle, and now I just watched the trailer for NIGHT WATCH 2 courtesy of Film Rotation. Check it out. It’s in Russian but who cares.
