Bei all den Erfolgsprojekten der Firma Marvel Comics darf man nicht vergessen, dass es schon lange vor dem Erfolg von Sam Raimis "Spider-Man" eine Reihe von gnadenlos schlechten Superheldenfilmen gab, die nun alle als Torrent austauchen. Besonders auffällig ist die Verfilmung der Abenteuer des Superagenten Nick Fury, die erst acht Jahre alt ist.

David Hasselhoff als Nick Fury! Nuff said!

Sean found this great documentary.

A great bad movie!

Bruce Willis versucht ein weiteres Comeback mit Teil 4 der "Stirb langsam"-Reihe. Der Trailer sieht schon mal aus wie eine Hommage an das Actionkino der 80er

We had this at the bookshop a while ago. Fucking great! Here's another clip: Ronald Reagan (playing the sole bad guy role of his career) gets punched in the face by John Cassavetes..

Here is the trailer for the 1946-version starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner. This was the blueprint for that lousy piece of shit called "Sin City".

I saw this last night. Not a bad documentary, but it could have been more. Too much fanboy-stuff, but worth a look. Homepage for the film

The "Euro-Oscar" goes to Germany! But unfortunately the dvd has no sub-titles for the rest of the world...

The best film I have seen this year! Don't miss it!

Hach, dieser Film ist ein Wunder und sollte unbedingt in der kuddelmuddeligen Original-Fassung gesehen werden. Alles stehen und liegen lassen und sofort reingehen!

Langweilig, konfus und dann noch ein völlig unbefriedigendes Ende. Der schlechteste Film, den Woody Allen je gedreht hat.

Popwatch has an interesting piece on everyones favourite christmas movie! And, remember, dont shoot your eye out!

Is this real or did someone make it up?

This one is pretty funny. More Star Wars commercials

Der MySpace-Freund Torgo betreibt im Internet ein kleines YouTube-Kino mit ausgesuchten Perlen und diese Woche läuft ein abgedrehter Klassiker der Pophistorie: Perry Rhodan — Mission Stardust (1967)

So bonbonrosa war der Weltraum nie wieder! Barbarella is nix dagegen! Vor langer Zeit gab es ja auch diese semi-erotische Perry Rhodan-Comics, die aktuell von Karl Nagel, Wittek & Co neu belebt wurden. Irgendwie bleibt Perry Rhodan ein Spießer, aber in diesem quietschbunten Lichtspielvergnügen da unten lasse ich nichts auf ihn kommen!

Plenty of trailers for spaghettiwesterns like this one: ''Blindman'' aka ''Il Cieco'' (1971) starring Tony Anthony, Ringo Starr, Lloyd Battista, and Magda Konopka. Directed by Ferdinando Baldi.

Dean Reed is probably not in it...

"Trailer for 1970 eurowestern ''Twenty Steps to Death'' aka ''Saranda'' starring Dean Reed and Patty Shepard. Directed by Manuel Esteba / Antonio Mollica"

"Trailer for the 1971 Italian western ''Adios Sabata'' aka ''Indio Black'' starring Yul Brynner, Dean Reed, Ignazio Spalla, and Gérard Herter. Directed by Gianfranco Parolini."

"Trailer for the German / Italian coproduced giallo ''Death Knocks Twice'' aka ''Blonde Köder für den Mörder'', ''La Morte bussa due volte'' starring Dean Reed, Fabio Testi, Ini Assmann, Leon Askin, and Anita Ekberg. Directed by Harald Philipp." Also starring Nadja Tiller!

Tag: Dean Reed at his very best!

Terry Gilliam in Berlin: The Past People of Potsdamer Platz

Lost in La Mancha: Fulton and Pepe's 2000 documentary captures Terry Gilliam's attempt to get The Man Who Killed Don Quixote off the ground. Back injuries, freakish storms, and more zoom in to sabotage the project (which has never been resurrected). Trailer below...

And then there is Tideland: "After her mother dies from a heroin overdose, Jeliza-Rose is taken from the big city to a rural farmhouse by her father. As she tries to settle into a new life in a house her father had purchased for his now-deceased mother, Jeliza-Rose's attempts to deal with what's happened result in increasingly odd behavior, as she begins to communicate mainly with her bodiless Barbie doll heads and Dell, a neighborhood woman who always wears a beekeeper's veil." Trailer below...

dreams ... the Terry Gilliam Fanzine

Tuesday at the bookshop in Berlin.

Divx.com has plenty of trailers for Troma-classics like Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD or Class of Nuke Em High.

"Here is a video that includes the best of this legendary show from 1993. The roster includes; Hakim Bey, Robert Anton Wilson, Nick Herbert, Rob Brezsny and Joseph Matheny. "

...from 1931/32 to the present in chronological order on YouTube.

They might be gone soon!

Cinematical has a really, really cool video today: "Before they introduced the world to Eric Cartman and friends, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were hired by Universal to create a "training video" geared toward boosting team moral after Seagram's company bought the studio back in 1995. However, at the time, no one knew who Parker and Stone were, let alone the fact that they were complete maniacs. What followed was a hilarious (and, as far as Universal was concerned, unusable) training video starring folks like Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, James Cameron, Michael J. Fox, Demi Moore and Angela Lansbury, among others."

PARKER & STONE!!! PARKER & STONE!!! PARKER & STONE!!! PARKER & STONE!!! PARKER & STONE!!!

The bookshop has the teaser!

Popmoderne.de four years ago: "Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda" means "Tragic mistake" and it's the name for a tradition in turkish filmmaking. Just take a successful movie from the US and remake it without the money and the effects. After new versions of Superman and Star Wars, it's about time for this !

Here's the video:

Cool Flickr-set from the set of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"! See The Thing smoking!

Den Kartoffeln muss man hier kurz mal erklären, dass es bei den Burgerfressern drüben eine prima HBO-Serie namens "Entourage" gibt, die von den Tücken der Filmindustrie handelt. Im Rahmen dieser Serie entstanden alberne fiktionale Projekte wie ein Aquaman-Film von James Cameron oder ein Ramones-Biopic. Schwupps, schon hatten die Einfaltspinsel in Hollywood einen Aquaman-Streifen in Planung bis sich wohl doch eine alte Erkenntnis der Comicindustrie durchsetzte: "Aquaman doesn't work!" Mit dem Film über den armen Joey Ramone verhält es sich da ganz anders....

Und, by the way, das CBGB'S is wohl endgültig dicht und man überlegt das Urinal zu versteigern, in das der gute Joey sich wohl des öfteren ergossen hat.

Cinematical: "Just when you thought Hollywood was finished borrowing from the television show Entourage (with Aquaman out of its storylines for the time being, I imagine that film project is dead), news of a Joey Ramone biopic hit the streets today. Those of you who are fans of the HBO show will recall that a major plotline running throughout this past season was Vince's desire to star in a Joey Ramone biopic. (...) Manager-producer Rory Rosengarten has secured the rights to a feature about the punk rockers and with his own money optioned I Slept With Joey Ramone, an authorized bio written by Joey's brother Mike Leigh and Legs McNeil. Permission was also granted by Charlotte Lesher (Joey's mom) for Rosengarten to use all of the band's music."

300 - That spartan film based on the brilliant graphic novel by Frank Miller. Eye candy galore! They used the same cgi-tricks they used in "Sin City" and this time it's truly awesome!

PAN'S LABYRINTH - Trailer 2 This is gonna be a great film!

The Host: a fine monstermovie from South-Korea. Jaws meets Godzilla! AICN has all the links.

And down there you'll find a first look at Robert Rodríguez and Quentin Tarantino's upcoming 2007 horror flick, Grindhouse. It's got Naveen "Sayid" Andrews and girls with machine guns instead of legs in it. Looks like a great tribute to those dirty 70s-horrorfilms they keep remaking in Hollywood right now.

Have your line of dialogue spoken by Optimus Prime in the upcoming Transformers-movie by Michael Bay.

I loved the trailer and it looks like The Transformers is going to be the coolest brainless movie since "Pirates of the Carribean". It's a movie about giant robots going to war. What could possibly go wrong?
