Look, I have no problem with wanting to look good — we dedicate a good amount of space to items that we simply find aesthetically pleasing, but which would do us no good whatsoever in the Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse (you know it’s coming — best lock up that Enduro Motorcycle and Combo Axe). But while […]

It may be hard to believe, but this series of images, titled Another Place, are actually large oil paintings, not photographs. While hyper-real oil paintings are nothing new, these 3m x 4m paintings by Jonathan Wateridge are incredibly accurate, and have a cool central concept. Another Place depicts scenes from the production and narrative of […]

It’s too early to call quality on this one, but seeing as The Goon is produced by David Fincher odds are stacked in its favor. Not only is the animation pretty remarkable, but its also very loyal visually to the original material. Based on Eric Powell’s 1999 cult comic from Dark Horse, The Goon follows […]

Saw the trailer to Sucker Punch at Comic Con this past week and boy does it look like a doozy. Not only have you got Madman’s Holy Movie Trinity involved (samurais, dragons, machine gun-toting females), but it’s actually directed by very capable hands. I am a legitimate fan of Zack Snyder’s, who I had hoped […]

The exhibit, aptly titled Kubrick, opens this Saturday, July 10th, at the Copro Gallery in Santa Monica and will be on display until August 3rd. Ramos faces […]

While flying to Italy for another top secret mission (to be disclosed in the very near future) I was forced to suffer through Lufthansa’s in-flight entertianment, which actually isn’t all that bad. In a sado-masochistic way, I kind of enjoy the chance to see movies I would never see in the real world. Or rather, […]

Although a lot of people panned Marie Antoinette, I gotta say I kind of liked it. Sure it was flawed, but there are few filmmakers out there today who better master the art of mood and emotion with the simple play of lighting, ambiance, music and silence than Sofia Coppola. Both The Virgin Suicides and […]

Luc Besson’s productions can be hit or miss, but when he directs he usually hits like a 23-year old Mike Tyson. For his new film The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, Busson wears all 3 hats: writer, director and producer, so we should be (hopefully) expecting Jurassic Park more than Mummy Returns. Like The Red […]
