Haven’t seen a lot of these, but the ones I have are all worth watching. Though I still think Sunset Boulevard is a bit of a stretch as Noir. It’s sui generis..

A List of the Top 25 Noir Films
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012Films Howard and I Will Review: Brave
Friday, February 17th, 2012Howard and I will review Brave, Pixar’s animated film this year, for Locus Online.
Given that it’s Pixar, we fully expect it to fall somewhere between “really good” and “totally awesome.”
Movies Howard and I Will Review: Iron Sky
Monday, February 13th, 2012Assuming it comes to Austin sometime in 2012 (answer cloudy; ask again later), Howard Waldrop and I will be reviewing Iron Sky, AKA Attack of the Space Nazis. Here we have not one, not two, but three teaser trailers, arranged from oldest to newest.
I’m hoping Iron Sky (which seems to have been made with a great deal of crowd-source funding) will be good, silly fun, as well as an amusing poke at the whole Nazi saucer mythos.
Films Howard and I Will Review: The Avengers
Saturday, February 11th, 2012Continuing this series of trailers on movies Howard Waldrop and I will be reviewing is The Avengers, which comes out May 4th. We liked the Iron Man movies, but weren’t particularly wild about Thor.
Films Howard and I Will Review: John Carter
Thursday, February 9th, 2012Second up for Howard Waldrop and I to review in 2012 is Pixar’s first live action film, John Carter (based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars) due out March 9.
The first trailer had me worried, because there were no four-armed green dudes. This trailer? Four-armed green dudes everywhere. Also, since Michael Chabon had a hand in the script, I’m really looking forward to it.
Just for the record, I should note that the John Carter of Mars in this film is not my U.S. congressman, John Carter of Round Rock.
Films Howard and I Will Review: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012Howard and I signed up to review a number of films for Locus Online this year, and I thought i would put up some trailers for them. First up on the list is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, due out February 17.
We’re review it because: A.) Someone has to, B.) We reviewed the first one, and C.) I’m hoping with Crank directors Neveldine/Taylor at the helm it will be good, stupid, over-the-top, sleazy exploitation fun.
Much More Important Than ABBA
Friday, January 27th, 2012The surviving members of Monty Python are reuniting for a science fiction film farce called Absolutely Anything.
I am so there.
A Very Old New Film
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012Happy Epiphany!
Friday, January 6th, 2012Since today is Epiphany, here’s “The Epiphany” from the movie version of Sweeney Todd (which I haven’t seen):
What do you mean I’m doing it wrong?
The…Master…Would…Approve
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011Even though it’s been on Fark, I feel I would be remiss in not mentioning that a man has found the workprint for Manos: the Hands of Fate. He intends to restore the film to all it’s, um, glory, and sell Blu-Rays of the newly remastered version.
May his work be blessed by Torgo the White.
