Kickass Tformers spot!

Posted 19 years ago

Probably the coolest and most encouraging TRANSFORMERS commercial yet has just hit the web (I believe it aired during the NBA Finals last night). I’ve been skeptical about this movie – and still am only because I’m a cynical bastard...

Trejo says Machete ready

Posted 19 years ago

I know it seems like we and everyone else has run this story a hundred times already, but when you’ve got an opportunity to hear it directly from Machete’s mouth, why not listen to the man? Danny Trejo was badassin’...

Miike shoots Tarantino

Posted 19 years ago

Takashii Miike and the western DJANGO are a match made in heaven. If you’ve never seen DJANGO (or any of its pseudo sequels), it’s a massively violent spaghetti western so bloody it almost spills into horror territory. Miike, as we...

Saw IV extra bloody?

Posted 19 years ago

More Mother of Tears pics!

Posted 19 years ago

Occi Sul Cinema has an absolute crapload of stills from Dario Argento’s THE MOTHER OF TEARS (if you know me, you know I don’t use “crapload” lightly) – both from the flick itself and behind the scenes. Do I really...

Pearblossom adds cast

Posted 19 years ago

Despite having a title that rubs me the wrong way, and a plot-description that confounds me, PEARBLOSSOM has a lot going for it. Namely: chickadees. Already starring Scout Taylor-Compton (aka Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN) and one half of...

Wanted director talks

Posted 19 years ago

I must admit that I am unfamiliar with Mark Millar’s comic-book WANTED, but all signs are pointing to “GET familiar with it, numbskull!” the more I read about it – and the more I hear about the film adaptation that...

Primeval DVD clip

Posted 19 years ago

So we all know that earlier this year, Hollywood Pictures (a friggin’ Disney company if you can believe that) pulled a most bizarre marketing stunt with PRIMEVAL , when they coyly pretended that the movie was about the world’s most...

Vampire Chicks with Chainsaws

Posted 19 years ago

The headline says it all: there exists a movie where vampire chicks run around someone’s 5 acre patch of land somewhere, wielding chainsaws. The vampiric aspects of the plot are only hinted at. While the trailer won’t set the world...

Madman’s Tale will be told

Posted 19 years ago

I’m going to write a book, damnit. This guy John Katzenbach writes books, and guess what? He just got paid SEVEN figures for the film rights to one, THE MADMAN’S TALE. Guess what else? He’s also writing the screenplay! That...
