Steam Treking

Is this what the new Star Trek movie is going to be like?

Probably not, but this is tee-hee funny. I'm particularly fond of the 'transporter' and the carbon-based life-form.

Maybe, but perfect?
No way, they forgot one thing.

Three Iron Men and a Woman

From Marvel.com

This is a promo photo from the upcoming Iron Man movie.

I have high hopes for this film; the casting of R.D.jr as Tony/IM is inspired, the design looks great from the teaser pictures and how scary does Jeff Bridges look in this shot!

Rememer to 70s and 80s?

When Superman laments on the 'golden' years of his film career, maybe Spiderman isn't the best shoulder to cry on...

Autopsy - A Love Story?

This has to be one of the weirdest films I've ever heard of...

WWW Extras

One of my favourite parts of DVDs are the extras. I love to watch the making-of freaturettes and the behind the scenes documentaries.

Now that the Web is being used more and more to promote new movies, a lot of these extras are appearing on the WWW first and for FREE.

Here are a couple of my faves:



Production video diaries by Bryan Singer during the making of the new Superman movie; Superman Returns.

The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

I've always suspected those "Greatest" and "Wonderful" quotes they pepper movie posters with were embellished, but this is 'one giant step' beyond that:

Fans win $1.5m over fake critic
BBC News

I mean, it's one thing to lie about the review, but to lie about the reviewer???

Silent Bob says what?

Look what I found - My Boring-Ass Life. It's a blog for writter/director Kevin Smith, he of Clerks and Silent Bob fame.

Just as raw and honest as most of his writing.

Hail to the undead King, baby!

Bruce Campbell ... Elvis ... and a rampaging Mummy!

Everyone knows that Elvis isn't really dead, but that might be about to change. Truth is he's spending his twilight years in a Texas retirement home. Trouble starts when an ancient Egyptian terror targets the home with its own personal brand of euthanasia. Elvis (Bruce Campbell) must team up with fellow resident Jack (Ossie Davis), who thinks he's JFK despite being a blackman, to kick some undead, bandaged ass!

Could this be the greatest film ever made? Probably not, but there's a good chance it will be a damn site more entertaining than Van Helsing or LoEG.
