Synecdoche, New York

Charlie Kaufman’s new mindfuck looks amazing. I still think he and Michel Gondry should collaborate, it would probably open a wormhole or something. Check out the trailer for Synecdoche, New York here.
EDIT: Duh…They worked together on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which I thought was massively overrated. I just blew my own dreams to [...]

‘The Road’ Movie Stills

Wow. I knew Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Road’ was being made into a movie with Viggo but finding this photo still caught me off guard. Sometimes when you’re reading a book you’ll get a mental picture of the story here or there but when I read this book I saw it the entire time. This is [...]

Man on Wire

It’s nice when you can see something that’s become a reminder of all that’s wrong with humanity flipped around to represent the awe and wonder we should all aspire to stimulate in others. This movie looks amazing.

I Met the Walrus

My friend Sabine posted this on her Tumblr today so I have to share. This was done by a Canadian named Josh Raskin and was nominated for an Oscar at this year’s Academy Awards. I can’t help but think about layers after watching it; about how you can add to things [...]

Beautiful Losers: The Documentary

Beautiful Losers was something I didn’t get to experience but I remember hearing about when it was going on. Fast forward a few years and they’re releasing a documentary about the show featuring a bevy of great young artists from Ed Templeton and Harmony Korine to Barry McGee and Shepard Fairey.
There’s [...]

Pineapple Express and Red Band Trailers

Pineapple Express – Red Band Trailer on FunnyOrDie.com
I was reading the other day about how the Regal chain of theaters in the US would be bringing back the R-rated red band movie trailers and I have to admit I had forgotten about them. There’s something about seeing that red before a trailer that just seems [...]

Spike Jonze’s ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ screen test

Wow wow wow, as if this isn’t just going to make the wait that much harder. Just found this clip of a test shooting for ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ done back in 2005. Apparently this isn’t Max Records who will be playing the actual Max but it’s still a great find. Click here to [...]

Blood was more than expected…

Saw There Will Be Blood twice on the weekend and after building it up and building it up it actually exceeded my expectations. It is truly an epic film and I can’t stop thinking about it. Highlights? You can’t help but love the Kubrickian (yeah I did) ending, it’s legendary. DDL is not human. The [...]

There Will Be Blood!

Well the day is here. I’ve been waiting for months, nerded out over every single possible review, and listened to the score over and over. Finally, Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood is opening in Vancouver. I’ll let you know how it is tomorrow. On a side note, I watched No Country For Old [...]

Thanks Alex

Well it’s official, I’m going stir crazy and need to get home. Last night I almost slunk to downloading ‘There Will Be Blood’ off Bittorrent and watching it. It stopped transferring anyways so I never would’ve got a chance to watch the whole thing but I did cheat and watch a few little snippets here [...]

The Alchemists–A Documentary about Advertising…WOW!

Sorry it’s been so long between posts. My Macbook is finally fixed! Okay I’m excited as all hell because after spending another day at the library drooling over advertising awards annuals again I caught myself on the One Club homepage and came across this GEM of a documentary that has me so excited. I was [...]

Footworkin’, Krumpin’, Skatin’

When David LaChappelle’s critically acclaimed documentary ‘Rize’, about the krumping scene in suburban L.A. came out a couple years ago it only backed up the fact that no underground movement within the black community is safe these days from appropriation by the masses. It just doesn’t matter where it comes from, people eat it up. [...]

Michel Gondry might be the most interesting artist on the planet today.

I’m truly excited for this post because Michel Gondry to me is the epitome of artistic genius. I learned about him through the Directors Label DVDs that came out a few years back (as I did with Chris Cunningham below) and immediately fell in love with the simplicity and child-like vision exhibited in [...]

Borat the movie!!!!!!

Everyone knows and loves Ali G and well, if you’re an Ali G fan you most likely know Sasha Cohen’s other character and my personal favorite, Borat. Now Borat got in a little trouble last year with the Kazakstani government for well you know, insulting the entire nation and making them all look like imbreds, [...]

The Big Damn Movie Post!

Okay kids so there’s a lot of movies that I’m excited for and some that are wayyy too far away:
First off, ‘Strangers with Candy’ has been made into a movie…This Comedy Central show with Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert is about an ex-con junkie slut who returns to high school in her forties, ’nuff said [...]
