Brace yourselves: Avatar 2 may not come out till 2016. At a recent screening to demonstrate how much more impactful the human suffering will be on Titanic thanks to the new 3D version, website Bleeding Cool quoted producer Jon Landau saying that the sequel is “four years away.” Hopefully someone will leak some clips long before then, cause it would suck to have to wait that long for the inevitable and highly entertaining, right wing backlash.
Gothamist is right, this short film is “weird.” It kind of reminds me of that movie Pi, but that could just be due to it also having a mathematical theme, NYC setting, and plenty of freakish cutaways. I’m looking forward to your reviews below.
Good news Pulp Fiction fans (in NYC): The IFC Center cinema in the West Village is showing the movie on the big screen, Friday through Sunday at midnight only.
Now in its third installment, the Jackasses needed a new gimmick and with this 3D trend working wonders for films like Avatar and Clash of the Titans, they’re assuming it’ll do the same for their cinematic tomfoolery. Hopefully, they use it sparingly during the grosser frat boy antics and save most of the screen-popping technology for their dare-deviling.
If you’re a daily reader of this here website, you may have noticed a certain infatuation we have with the Kick-Ass movie. But now that it’s set to open in theaters everywhere on Friday, this will be the last trailer we post, promise.
There’s only eight days to go till the release of Kick-Ass and admittedly, my obsession has clearly taken hold. After recently taking a look at the film’s extra long trailer and loving it, here’s an ultra short one. It’s only 15 seconds long, but they sure make every bloody moment count!
With the Internets buzzing about Tom Six’s ridiculous body-horror The Human Centipede [First Sequence] for months, a real trailer was just unleashed. And it delivers exactly what it promises, as anatomically improbable as it may be: surgically-sculpted Siamese triplets with a single digestive system. Ew. Read more »
This fall, a new documentary on Houston street art is hitting the film circuit. Directed by Alex Luster, “Stick Em Up” follows local artists, critics and officials for the story behind the city’s “overshadowed world of wheat pasting.” Among the revelations: Houston police apparently could care less about street art. Watch as cops drive right by the wheatpasters after the jump. Read more »
The poor horses forced to pull carriages and schlep mostly tourists around the loop in Central Park are the subject of a documentary called Blinders. It delves into the evils inherent in horse-drawn carriages and the increasing public debate the gimmicky industry is causing. In 2006 there was at three dramatic accidents that received widespread media exposure and focused some attention on the fading tradition. The film plans to give viewers the real behind the scenes look “through original footage taken with hidden cameras and interviews with carriage drivers, veterinarians, accident witnesses, animal rights activists, politicians, tourists, residents who live near the horses and people who have rescued NYC carriage horses from slaughter.” It will be screened in the city on March 20th as well as other cities. Check the official website for more information. |Cinematical|
It’s hard to believe that a Tarantino script like this can somehow turn into the crappy trailer above. The Inglourious Basterds screenplay looked like it had a lot of potential and the makings of a great movie. Well after viewing the trailer maybe not. You would think that Harvey Weinstein would have learned after the dismal failure that was Grindhouse, but it’s not entirely his fault, Brad Pitt’s ridiculously unconvincing Southern accent should certainly take a big chunk of the blame when this thing bombs.
