Day of the Dead

I have now completed the original Dead trilogy with Day of the Dead. My opinion is really mixed on this film because there are some things I really enjoyed about it and some things that kind of disappointed me with it.Day of the Dead does take place well into the zombie epidemic and there are very few living persons still out and about; basically, people are in shelters or the dead walking the

3:10 to Yuma

3:10 To YumaOriginally uploaded by patchdrury I am a self-described Christian Bale junkie. As such it is a wonder that I have a few films in my collection starring Bale that I have not yet watched. This needed to be rectified so I began by pulling out my copy of 3:10 to Yuma which I received as a birthday present last February even though I had never seen it.I actually do have quite a few movies

Dawn of the Dead

George Romero knows how to take a movie and make it interesting on multiple levels; he may not be revered among the greatest artists of the film cannon but I tend to think filmmakers like Romero and Wes Craven tend to be pigeon holed because of the genre in which they have found their career. Dawn of the Dead is yet another example of a film that remains socially relevant to this day and yet is

Rachel Getting Married

my pal mather in a movie trailer!Originally uploaded by sonci Rachel Getting Married is an interesting film; while I don’t think the title quite explains the movie at the same time I really don’t think that you could name the film anything else. The name Rachel Getting Married evokes thoughts of romantic comedies and light hearted fare, but the film actually revolves around deep seeded trials,

Coming Soon

Night of the Living Dead

I just made a zombie movie and it occurred to me that I have never seen the entire, original Dead trilogy by George Romero. Now that I am gone with production that is my goal and even though I have already seen it I had to start with the one that began the trend Night of the Living Dead. Night of the Living Dead now strikes of clichés for first time viewers, but what you have to remember is

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)Originally uploaded by CCY0927 So I finally got along to seeing Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen’s latest take on love and romance. I do have to say that the film was worth the wait.In traditional Allen fashion this is a confused and tangled story of characters looking for their life, their passion and their loves. Vicky and Cristina are best friends though

The Exorcist

The Exorcist is billed as one of the scariest movies of all time. Having just seen it for the first time I can see why that would be true, granted I don’t usually get scared at movies but I can see the signs of a truly scary one and identify it. Plus, The Exorcist did make me tense a time or two so that is in its favor too. I knew how the movie ended (thanks to Angel and film school) and I

Dillinger Four- C I V I L W A R

I threw this gem on the pod one Saturday evening and basically have not listen to anything else since.  A great record with contagious hooks, awesome melodies and humorous political, angst fuelled lyrics that so many punk bands tend to omit from their formula nowadays

Dillinger Four- C I V I L W A R

C I V I L W A R is a 6 year in the making full-length release from Minnesota's punk rock fav, Dillinger Four. Its kinda a healthy new dose
of oxygen for me. Explodes right from the start and never halts in giving prescriptions of punk wisdom and sarcastic rhetoric from the opener 'A Jingle for the product' to the closer 'Clown Cars on Cinder Blocks'. 13 tracks full of melodic anthems, it's a record
that moves along swiftly full of chaotic energy.

D4

For those of us looking for the new soundtrack to turn to in times of dire consequences and broken souls, C I V I L W A R just might be the right cure. This record ranks very high on my best of 2008 list.

(stream these 3 MP3 below: 'A jingle for the product', 'Gainesville', 'Minimum wage is a gateway drug')

Sometimes, a casual search on YouTube yields a total heist. That's how I felt when stumbled across this 41
minute Nirvana set from 1991, apparently recorded at a venue called the
Moon in New Haven, Connecticut, and already viewed some 350,000 times.

Many of us never got to see the trio in their early 90s exemplary form; therefore this clip is absolutely worth 41 minutes of
your golden time. Stream this vintage Nirvana now, before Courtney Love gets her mitts on it and starts charging you by the minute

btw, not sure why, but on 9th April 1994 my hi skool flag was half-masted

Iron Man

As most of you know Iron Man 2 is being fast tracked by the studio. They have realized that Iron Man is a hot commodity and want to strike while the iron is hot, pardon the pun. Who can blame them? Because of Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. is hotter than ever and Jon Favreau can write his own ticket in Hollywood for the time being. If it wasn’t for the sweeping success of The Dark Knight, Iron

Dead Alive

Dead Alive is perhaps one of the most audaciously gory movies in existence. Just to give you a clue there are three separate make-up, prosthesis and effects titles in the opening credits – that’s how important the gore is to the movie. What keeps Dead Alive different from something like an Eli Roth film is the fact that it is Peter Jackson, and it is a B-movie. The gore is in the movie for the
