Check out this featurette for upcoming action/spy flick starring Angelina Jolie, who should be best known for her role in Hackers, but is probably remembered for other roles. Incidentally, in Hackers her hair was the raven black that she’s sporting again for Salt.

The Stuff of Walt Disney’s nightmares

Statler — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:29:39 +0000

The ludicrous short Love & Theft, by German animation studio Film Bilder, is the equivalent of dropping brown acid while watching Ren & Stimpy reruns until you vomit up Mickey Mouse. Yes, you read that correctly.

Scrapertown. Respect.

It was only a matter of time and frankly I’m amazed it has taken this long but without further ado the terrorist comedy ‘Four Lions’

Taika Waititi’s New Film: Boy

Gaspard — Sun, 09 May 2010 11:10:43 +0000

This is director Taika Waititi’s second feature film (after Eagle vs. Shark and TV’s Flight of the Conchords). It’s a semi-autobiographical look at his own growing up in Waihau Bay in western Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Set in the 1980’s, Boy is a coming-of-age story about two Maori brothers, Boy and Rocky, who are trying to find their potential whilst living in the shadow of their larger-than-life father Alamein, played by Waititi himself.

Gary Oldman’s Ranks of Villainy

Gaspard — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:17:22 +0000

I’ve always been a fan of Gary Oldman, he strikes me as the type of actor who puts everything into his performances and thus he would be left hollow, quiet, even disconnected, in real life. As DEA agent, Stansfield in The Professional / Leon, you’d swear you were watching surveillance footage of an actual corrupt cop.

Very few actors have the villainous acumen of Gary Oldman. His expansive biography of baddies extends from mythology’s greatest bad guy (Dracula) to common pimps and crooks. His talent is so far reaching it also includes douchy politicians and power-hungry killers with bad hair.

Alas, lately he’s been springing up as Goody Two Shoes, like Batman’s wingman Commissioner Gordon. He’s even been using his predisposition as a bad guy with a sense of irony, as in his role in the Harry Potter series, Sirius Black.

However, in his latest movie, The Book of Eli, he returns to his roots – playing the antagonist. So we’d like to congratulate Gary on his comeback to malevolence (we’ve missed you) with a highlight of the various evil-doers he’s made so vivid on the silver screen, ranked in order of his characters’ titles.
