Now, That's How You Open a Movie #4
Now, That's How You Open a Movie #4

Don't Look Now ( Nicolas Roeg , 1973) This opening sequence, and Roeg's early 70's work in particular, has always left me dumbstruck, everything about it shoots straight to the core of my cine-soul. Watch, for yourself, the opening reel of Don't Look Now. Enjoy

Predator Continues Its Political Tradition

After waiting my entire lifetime to hear this, news has finally arrived that Sonny Landham announced his candidacy for a Senate seat in Kentucky . Most people will remember him as the Indian soldier Billy from Predator . If he wins, it would make him the third actor from that movie, after Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura, to gain elected office .

I'm always wary of films that use the prefix 'based on true events', it's usually a warning sign in code stating 'yawn fest ahead'. More often or not those films tend to be extremely tiresome with it's fixation of telling it 'like it happened' with little in the way of imagination or artistic license, a simple paint by numbers job and hey presto! Here's your Oscar

Originally appeared as part of The Stepford Wives Tribute Week at my Harry Moseby Confidential . Scripted with a fierce intelligence by author William Goldman and directed with an equal amount of astuteness by British born filmmaker Bryan Forbes, 1975’s The Stepford Wives is one of the most chilling and important horror films of the seventies and one of the best.

Continuing my infatuation with the greatest opening moments ever put to celluloid I bring you one of the most acclaimed beginnings (and one of my all time favourite films, thus far) ever made. Touch of Evil (1958), directed by Orson Welles , is one of the last great American film noir's , a crime thriller, dark mystery, and cult classic rolled into one.

I consider myself a very big horror buff, and many of my favorite movies are in the horror genre. Horror does something that no other types of movies can do – when they’re done right, they can make.

It must be nice being Martin Scorsese. He’s acclaimed as one of the greatest filmmakers in the world, he finally won the Oscar he’s been pining for, and best of all, he gets to make movies about his rock n’ roll idols.

Review: “Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson”
Review: “Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson”

Ibetolis Ibetolis posted 6/9/2008 from fataculture.wordpress.com

In Alex Gibney’s latest unflinching documentary, “Gonzo,” he turns the focus on Hunter S. Thompson, an American visionary/writer like no other, stooped in misunderstanding and ineffably at war with himself, the world around him and an invisible enemy - with a rock star persona meaning he was not above throwing typewriters out of hotel room

I happened to catch the original Superman movie over the weekend and what I really liked was that the movie is still so enjoyable today. 30 years after the movie was made, the story is good enough, the special effects are good enough and the of course, it has Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman on top of their game.

Because my newfound “Joy Division,” the band, fandom has reached an alarmingly high level, I was especially excited to get my hands on a screener copy of “Joy Division,” the documentary, which is great by the way.

I’m SHOCKED at the similarities. Not sure if it was deliberate or not, but it’s certainly eerie to see them side by side like this.

f ever a film summed up a period of my life it's this one. 20, single, out every night, gigging, drinking - essentially being young. Then along comes Trainspotting. It's as if it were made for me. "For a vegetarian, Rents, you're a fuckin' evil shot!" The mere image of a young Ewan McGregor running down the street, chased by security guards to the ferocious beat of 'Lust to Life' by Iggy ...

The World According To Garp - Watching the 1000 Greatest Films

Ibetolis Ibetolis posted 5/28/2008 from filmforthesoul.blogspot.com

You know that moment half way through a film when you realise that you've actually seen it before? I was oblivious for the first half hour whilst watching The World According to Garp (or GARP, to save on time) before suddenly remembering the whole thing, including the ending. This in itself is nothing spectacular, I was young at the time and probably not paying much attention, however it could ...
