The What's Happening

2008-Jun-11 by Laughcalvin

The best trailer mash-up I have seen in awhile. The Happening meets Rerun and What's Happening. Priceless.



Choke- The Movie

2008-Jun-6 by Laughcalvin

Chuck Palahniuk is not everyone's cup of snake venom as he has become a bit rote as of late (the Stephen King  psycho-punk of serial novels?) but I am interested in how the film version of his novel Choke, starring Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston, will turn out,  especially when the Fox Pub Depart. is handing out anal beads to promote the film

In a new interview with the Daily Texan, Palahniuk thanked Fox for the anal beads: "And then also 20th Century Fox is gearing up to publicize 'Choke,' so they have all these Chinese factory anal beads."

No mistake about it, a tough market these days. Watch the trailer here.

Post Script: Novelist Lucy Ellmann reviewing Palahniuk's latest, Snuff, for the NYTS

What the hell is going on? The country that produced Melville, Twain and James now venerates King, Crichton, Grisham, Sebold and Palahniuk. Their subjects? Porn, crime, pop culture and an endless parade of out-of-body experiences. Their methods? Cliché, caricature and proto-Christian morality. Props? Corn chips, corpses, crucifixes. The agenda? Deceit: a dishonest throwing of the reader to the wolves. And the result? Readymade Hollywood scripts.

Hahaha...eh-hum, she's right.



The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I hope Pitt gets this one right. (no worries about Fincher and Fitzgerald)



Mind's Eye Trailer

2008-May-19 by Laughcalvin

Our good friend Bill Coy was the soundman on the indie feature Mind's Eye. Go here to his-and of course everyone else's- work.



The Greaser

As me old friend Ross Myers knows, you had better grease the wheels.

 



Iron Sky Trailer

2008-May-7 by Laughcalvin

If the thought of   Valkyrie    just doesn't do it for your (and who knows when it will come out?) then the 5 million Iron Sky just might. Nazis not only fled to South America and Cleveland, they also went to the moon.

And they're coming back!

Check out the trailer. It looks fun.

 



Towelhead Trailer

Mister Lonely

2008-Mar-24 by Laughcalvin

The trailer for Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely. This one might-might-just be a bit more accesible than Julien Donkey Boy.

 



In A Glass Cage

2008-Feb-7 by Laughcalvin

Here is a total mind**** of a film a friend recco. yesterday from filmmaker Augusta Villaronga. The Spanish title is Tras El Cristal. I think it might only be on VHS but not quiet sure. Highly recco.

 



Adventures of Iron Pussy

Just what you need on a Friday evening: Some iron pussy.

The One Weekend Book Series

2007-Oct-28 by Laughcalvin

The One WeekendBook Series

In each issue M. Lorenz and a Guest Artist
are given 48 hours to experience a city,
document it and create a visual diary without
the use of computers. What this results to is
the documentation of a 48 hour search for
visual entertainment and the definition of the
city visited.

On one hand The One Weekend Book Series
reports of places and situations unmentioned
in city-guides, on the other hand it gives an
exhibitionistic view of the personal state of
the reporters.

Very Well-Done. Watch it!



Digital Domain's CG Work for Zodiac

This is how it's done kiddos. Check out the CG effects for David Fincher's film Zodiac.

 



Honey, I'm Home

2007-Aug-31 by Laughcalvin

Dream Regime's award-winning short "Honey, I'm Home" quotes HIT's review in their trailer. Cool.

 



The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

2007-Aug-23 by Laughcalvin

My Dad has been bugging me about this since I first mentioned it a good while back. I have to say it looks beautiful. He, my Dad, should be a happy man as there are several 'Westerns' opening up soon. Enjoy.

 



I'm Not There

2007-Jul-17 by Laughcalvin

Todd Hayne's  coming bio-pick of Bob Dylan sounds like real creative filmmaking. Different folks play Dylan thoughout the film. In the above clip, Cate Blanchett digs Allen Ginsburg. Very cool indeed



Postal

2007-Jul-14 by Laughcalvin

This opening salvo from Uwe ("I finance my films with Nazi gold!") Boll's  new film Postal has to be seen to be believed. If you like to slice the social satire out of  your humour with a straight razor, then this might be what the Doctor ordered. There is something here to offend everyone, and not in the way that Boll's previous films and boxing matches offended everyone. This is pitch-black comedy. Watch it. (It was pulled from God knows whose cam but the dialogue is what your after here.

Ghosts of Cite Soleil

2007-May-1 by Laughcalvin

Jeff Wells points us to this excellent trailer for the Dutch film about Haiti. It is damn intense and if you have ever been there, you will recognize that the filmmakers nail it. I was in Port-Au-Prince for my church's mission team ( a vocation I avoided after my brief tenure) in '94 and saw a dead body lying in the street. Chilling.



Hot Lesbian Action from Rachel and Monica

2007-Mar-28 by Laughcalvin

There is absolutely no need for your to sit through an  episode of FX's Dirt but

more than the kiss (is that how the dyes are doing it these days?) check out the

look on the goofy co-worker's face as he catches them at. Priceless.
