If you don’t know who Bob Ross is, then you clearly didn’t stay up late getting stoned while watching terrestrial ‘scheduled’ TV. (I er, saw him on youtube…) Watching Bob … Read More
If Baby Driver wasn’t by writer/director Edgar Wright (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, etc) I would probably just think it looked quite fun and has a great cast.
There have been loads of weird theories about Pixar movies. (Well loads of movies actually, people are bored.) One is that all their movies exist in the same universe and are linked somehow.
The clip explains what Thor, and to a lesser extend Dr Banner (aka Hulk), have been up to and why they weren’t in Captain America Civil War. He has basically been chilling out in Australia trying to be normal.
Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World is a new documentary from Werner Herzog. Apart from having an awesome voice, Herzog generally makes a pretty decent documentary. I remember … Read More
Loving Vincent is a project that was begun by Hugh Welchman, the Oscar winning animator of Peter and the Wolf in 2006. He saw the Royal Academy’s van Gogh show in 2010 and decided he really needed a ridiculously long and involved project to sink his teeth into.
The Temple of Art is a documentary (and website) about what it is like to be an artist. Although not just an artist, just generally creative. There are lots of writers, musicians, directors and actors, etc, featured, and the end result is damned inspiring.
Salt of the Earth is a documentary movie about the life and photography of Sebastiao Selgado. It is astounding.
This Spectre trailer has all the elements in place for a better Bond and I am excited.
The Max Max B roll is 18 minutes long and is pretty damned interesting. It is the B Roll and contains some interesting clips about how certain parts were made. It turns out there are a lot of brave stunt men and George Miller is a superb director.
I was fresh from watching the Avengers: Age of Ultron (which was superb) when someone showed me this. When watching the Avengers I always think it is pretty cool that … Read More
Here is the extended red band trailer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
It’s the new film by Seth MacFarlane – the fellow who brought you Family Guy and Ted. So expect some bad language. Also a surprising bit of blood.
I saw this all over the interweb and thought I would share just in case you missed it. I have previously posted a prank that was actually a viral promo … Read More
This is pretty damned funny. I can only assume the people involved were brought up to speed afterward or they will now be gibbering wrecks curled up under their beds.
Some obsessed young fellow, probably single, has spend the last 6 years splicing together actual photos from space missions to make a kind of animated photo flipbook thing that looks like a movie.
The World’s End is the third film from the guys who brought you (and me), Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
A trailer for the new Carrie film is out and it looks pretty good. It also looks a lot like the original one. So it’s quite hard to see the … Read More
Skyfall has all the necessary elements for a classic Bond – hot chicks, fights, explosions, envy inducing travel, great cars, tuxedos, psychos, peril, etc.
