Amazing

Imagine all the visuals they’ll be able to jack.

It’s like they are living my ideal life, ten years before me.

(and with far more success)

Early Reactions to the Watchmen

20 February 2009

“those looking for a literal translation to film of the graphic novel, Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen” is not it, but it comes as close as a movie can for such a densely written comic book story”

Early word seems to be,it is so faithful it might be too much for a mainstream audience.

I’m gradually moving from kinda worried to cautiously optimistic.

Best of 2008 (part one)

7 January 2009

http://www.bocadoinferno.com/romepeige/novosfilmes/vampiros/let/cartaz1.jpg

Let the Right One In is a beautifully evocative vampire film by Swedish director Tomas Alfredson. In lesser hands this tale of youthful alienation could have become some cliched teen love story (it still might) but here the tone is much darker-almost serving as the perfect counterpoint to more mainstream vampire fare such as Twilight. It’s a film that constantly surprises, leaving the veiwer undecided as to whether they have witnessed is a naive portrayal of teenage romance or a study on the dangerously seductive power on evil.

Either way this film will haunt you, lingering in the mind like the endless Scandanavian winter that serves as it’s backdrop.

AIB’s First Birthday

2 December 2008

Thursday is the Ain’t it Black 1st birthday party at Favela chic.

It’s gonna be a monster session-a celebration of an amazing year of finding new music and making new friends, with live music from Olivier DaySoul and the usual *cough cough* deejays.

To celebrate here is an exclusive Ulysses82 edit (it’s )

Come down, if you’re local, there’s rumours of some crazy-assed fancy dress costumes flying around, but either way there’ll be a lot of love in the room.

Star Trek Trailer

I’m no trekkie, but this looks like it could be huge.

All power to JJ for having the skills to pull off what has the potential to be ‘franchise reboot’ of the year.

First review of The Road

23 October 2008

The recently revived solace in cinema has the skinny on an early review of The Road.

Knowing the book, I can’t  imagine a situation where I’d want to put myself through the agony of spending two hours going through it all again.

It sounds like one of those films you have to be in a really specific mood to go see, but is an ultimately rewarding experience if you manage it.

Ridley Scott is returning to the future

13 October 2008

Ridley Scott is making a new Sci-fi Movie, based on Joe Haldeman’s Forever War.

“It’s a science-fiction epic, a bit of ‘The Odyssey’ by way of ‘Blade Runner,’ built upon a brilliant, disorienting premise.”

It’s been a while since we’ve had a heavy hitting 70’s style epic.

Could be interesting.
