THE INDISPENSIBLES - #16: DO THE RIGHT THING

Gazz — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:13:03 +0000

‘It’ was there from the start, if we’re all honest. Right there, in those first two movies he gave us. The movies in question, She’s Gotta Have It and School Daze, were mediocre and confused, respectively, but there was most definitely a voice there. A unique cinematic voice. A voice itching to be heard, and [...]

Why Does 50 Cent Keep Getting Acting Roles?

Kristina — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:37:38 +0000

Look, I’m no hip-hop aficionado, but I do enjoy some artists from this genre (love ya Outkast!). There’s some truly talented people in this line of work, and I think the media sometimes gives them a raw deal, though the vast majority of rap songs consist of “Look at my car/money/women I’m so cool I’ll kill you now do [...]

A New Crappy Poster For The New Crappy SPIRIT Movie!

Kristina — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:58:43 +0000

Dios mio, does this flick look terrible or what? I have to admit, when I first saw the standee for this in my local theater months ago, I thought that it was for Sin City 2! The buzz on this thing has been universally awful. Fans of the comic on which this film is based have been [...]

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST In 3-D?! YES PLEASE!

Kristina — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:45:14 +0000

I do not like the direction that the Disney company has taken lately, with its focus on vacuous teen starlets who insist on posting slutty pics of themselves online, but the Disney brand and my life are intertwined. The very first film that my parents ever took me to see was Oliver and Company. The Lion King is [...]

A Fun Little Article And A Message From Gazz!

Gazz — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:14:34 +0000

I know, I know… there is little to no linkage between the following article and ‘movies’, what with this being a movie site and all. But, well, a) it is very funny b) if you twist your brain a little you could work in a reference to Animal House or something and c) with Wyv [...]

INTERVIEW: Laura Donnelly - INSATIABLE

Gazz — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:55:27 +0000

You may recall that I posted an early review of a really rather good Irish indie movie called Insatiable, last week. You can check out that review by clicking here. I get the distinct impression that a fair few of you are a bit reticent about taking my word on this flick because I have [...]

THE INDISPENSIBLES - #17: SWINGERS

Gazz — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:00:32 +0000

You know how they say “Life imitates Art”? Well what about “Art imitating life”? I first saw Swingers at my local independent cinema. It was in the tale end of the summer of 1997. My cinema-loving high school best friend, ‘Cecil’, and I were reconnecting with movies over this period and it was really the time [...]

The Ballad Of Joel Schmacher’s Decline Adds A New Verse!

Gazz — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:00:59 +0000

There was this great article, I think it was in an issue of Premiere, that I once read about the making (or un-making) of Wes Craven’s Cursed (one of the worst films I’ve seen, check out my review here!) in which two weeks into shooting, Craven thought it would work better as a comedy so [...]

Is This Depp As The Mad-Hatter?

Gazz — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:36:04 +0000

AICN have a photo of what they are pertaining to be Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s upcoming take on Alice In Wonderland. You can see that picture to your left. The site aren’t too certain about whether or not they’re being “photo-shop-conned” again like they have done on so frequent a basis [...]

“You do know how to fly this thing?” “How do you think we got here?” “Well… you crashed… Remember?” The trailer for Disney’s Dwayne Johnson led Race To Witch Mountain ‘reimagining’ is online now. A lot of the links I’ve been sent are ridiculously slow or don’t work at all, so head on over to YouTube and check [...]
