Oh, no, please!

Trash as trash can: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (filmed in Skeletorama) and Battlefield Stadium. Those whacky asians! If you don't watch trailers, here's the poster for "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra"

Humans vs. Cyborgs? Machines raging against machines? Haven't we heard that one before? Shouldn't Matrix rather look like this ? Isn't Arnie a little old for this? Well, here is a fine little movie from Korea no serious nerd and no fan of apocalyptic action wants to miss. Get the trailer here (11,7 MB, MPEG-4)

Here's an excellent site with original scripts for movies, TV and Radio. Quite a lot of interesting stuff for all the writers out there.

"The Art of James Bond is a celebration of the work of a number of largely unsung heroes who have contributed superb artwork and designs that helped James Bond become one of the most successful and recognisable icons of the past half century."

"The end of 2002 heralded the arrival of the latest adventure in the forty-year-old James Bond franchise, a continuation not only of the residual cold war icon now transformed by the Bloc-less postmodern world, but of a specific gaze, a way of presenting the female form/image found in the vision of filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl."

Excellent article at brightlightsfilm.com on Riefenstahl's influence on post-modern cinema: "Leni's Body beautiful" by By D. L. Booth

Aargh, no, would you all please stop coming up with ideas like "let's do a Garfield-movie with lots of CGI. Chances are Hollywood likes ideas like that.

Nur Frau Mutant dürfte das gefallen, aber die arbeitet ja auch hauptberuflich für eine Atömchen-Fansite.

"I said to George; 'You can type this shit, but you can't say it.' and it's still true." - Harrison Ford

Blue Harvest has a lot of rare videos and music-clips like the extra-scenes from the remastered versions and funny things like "Troops" or the Star Wars Holiday Special (Real-Player only) that George Lucas doesn't want you to see. If you can't find it there... This tv-show has to be one of the crappiest programs ever made. Kitsch as kitsch can! It's got nude wookies, Jefferson Starship, a first appearance of Boba Fett and Princess Leia singing an awful song. Download the song, as sung by Carrie Fisher, as an MP3 and find out more.

If you're researching b-movies you don't wanna miss BRIANS DRIVE-IN THEATER. Links and tons of information on cheesecakes, low-budget superheroes and beach boys from the 60s, Tarzan, Hercules etc. Another good site would be badmovieplanet.com. I also liked Oh, the humanity, a site dedicated to the worst movies ever made. Oh, read their review of the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special. No, we can't offer you a free download of the Star Wars Holiday Special ourselves, but we like being found by people who have googled their way all the way over here

Whew, can't wait 'til Stinky brings these movies by K. Gordon Murray over to my house.

"These have got to be the sleaziest, most disturbing, most shamelessly degenerate films ever made. Yet they were made for kids, and tots in the 60s were propped in front of them by the busload as their parents went and did other things. It should be noted that the winner of a rather gratuitous wrestling match is rewarded by a kiss from Little Red Riding Hood." -reported by Stinky the Skunk

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND HER FRIENDS LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS The Queen's Swordsman

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR by Paul W.S. Anderson announced a US-release for August the 6th. What? If that's true, don't you wanna do any promotion? Does the movie have anything to do with the appearances of both monsters in that new Batman-Short Film? found at Batonga News Filmjerk knows even more.

I prefer reloading the Matrix-ASCII before I'd wanna see another sequel of this lame schmock-series.

The latest scop is that Hollywood wants to do a gritty low budget-movie with the dark knight being way darker and a little bit more ruthless. Probably one of the best ideas Hollywood had lately, considering that most movies are based on license properties anyway. After lots of talk about a new Batman-movie by either Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) or Christopher Nolan (Memento), "Dead End" popped up at the Comic Con 2003.This short-film was directed by music video director Sandy Collora and produced by Simon Tams and Daren Hicks.

"The budget was a little over 30 thousand dollars, and the film was shot in 4 days by cinematographer Vince Toto. We had a very small lighting package, minimal equipment, and a very small crew. Quite frankly, all these reports you got about 3A huge crew2 were falseS Yeah, there were a ton of people there, but 75% of them were lookielus, trying to take pictures and see what was going on. Our security guard, none other than lovely, uber-producer Daren Hicks herself, kept them all at bay, while Simon (uber-producer #2) kept it raining all night, and gave new meaning to the word hustle."
Sandy Collora in an interview with Brother Geek

Actor and muscleman Clark Bartram plays Batman while Andrew Koenig. Son of Walter Koenig, aka Chekov from Star Trek, looks like a perfect Joker. For some reason, H.R. Giger's Alien and a trio of predators are in this one too which also makes it a preview of the "Aliens vs.Predator"-movie which might still see the light of day next century. The film is just a promo-thing for everyone who was involved. It's a fan-film in 35mm, but these eight minutes kick ten times more ass than all the other Batman-movies all-together. Even the pros inside the industry loved it.

Well, whatever, "Dead End" looks like the early fourties-version with ´some more hard-boiled ingredients.

There is also a "making of" online now!

Zero Day won quite a few awards lately. Looks like anti-gun-movies have become the latest trend in the US! Michael Moore dii one, Gus van Sant did one and here's another one about kids shooting around their high-school (then there was the one with, what's his ass' name, Leo di Capro in a black trenchcoat,Baseball Diaries,is that the one?) This is a genre on it's own already! Zero Day works like a prequel, documenting the time before"a shooting".

Moviebox has a really good up-to-date section with the latest trailers in various formats.

Blood Works Clint Eastwood is back from another heart-attack as a senior-profiler running after his arch-nemesis. Makes you think that every american cop has this joker-charakter playing games with him for years and years.

28 Days later Post-millennium zombie-movie by the guy who surprised us with "Trainspotting". Another one about the undead taking over the world. It's hard to find it original. How's Romero doing with his fourth zombie-flick?

Gummo Bizarre! Ohio. 20 years after it was struck by a tornado. Everyone's a retard and a freak. This is about as white trash as it gets.

The Others Whew, spooky, great variant of the current trend of ghost-movies. Great moments of suspense.

Jay and Silent Bob strike back It thought it was funny, but I must be a comic-geek. Mark Hamill's guest-appearance rocks.

Mall Rats I didn't know, Stan Lee was such a womanizer.

Mel Gibson is shooting a movie about the life and death of the crucified one. THE PASSION is supposed to be bloody gory and in Latin/Aramaic with no English subtitles. Sounds like the most uncommercial movie of 2004!

Jim Caviezel is Jesus in his last 12 hours and SATAN will be played by Rosalinda Celentano!!!

Must be hard being a catholic nowadays...

<<"To be certain, neither I nor my film is anti-Semitic," Gibson said in a statement to Daily Variety.

The statement comes after unholy attacks on the film from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, who claimed the movie painted both Catholics and Jews in an unflattering light.

Both groups got worried about the film's content after Gibson's extremely religious father (he adheres to a radical form of Catholicism disavowed by the Vatican) was interviewed by the New York Times Magazine in March, making some rash statements about religion and suggested that the Holocaust may never have taken place. Both groups then obtained an early edition script from the film and got up in arms about its portrayal of Jews and Catholics.

Gibson said the script was stolen, and the Catholic group has since recanted, apologizing for slamming an unfinished film and promising to return all the unauthorized copies of the script. "We regret that this situation has occurred and offer our apologies," Mark Chopko, general counsel for the Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement.>>

Harry Knowles got the trailer (directly right-click those 22 MB) in some way. Hm, Schwartzenegger should have played Jesus.

I wonder if there will be any action-figures...

Scotland on Sunday reported that Werner Herzog is in Scotland to shoot a documentary on the uncanny monster of Loch Ness and the legend surrounding it. I can see a revamped CGI-version of Klaus Kinski in full 3D playing Nessie.

Hell's Highway looks like a fine documentary about those safety-clips supposed to scare the shit out of you. Great picture!

Why would anyone want to do another Peter Pan after that pile of shit called "Hook" which was one of the worst movies ever. Remember Dustin Hofmann with a wig and lots of make-up plus a flying Robin Wiliams? Michael Jackson could have done better than that!

Artisan follows the current trend of movies based on Marvel comics with another version of The Punisher. Remember Dolph Lundgren without the skull in the original one? What a shame.. Why isn't anyone doing a movie with great superheroes like the Brother Voodoo, Blue Beetle or Krypto the wonderdog?

I can't help it, but I love their stuff. There are three different teaser-trailers for Finding Nemo, the new 3d-sensation starring trillions of fish. I could watch it over and over. The turtle rocks! And they have quite a few of their shorties online if you wanna have a look over here

Neat little site dedicated to three actresses of 1960s Mexican cinema: Amedee Chabot, Christa Linder, and Elizabeth Campbell. Back then they shot stuff like "The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy" . Oh, my, my, they don't make movies like that anymore for some reason... More links over at The Mexican Film Resource Page

Some really cool posters from Bollywood over here. And The Hotspot is a great English source from Islamabad. Great magazine-site worth a try!

"This first Frankenstein film was produced by Thomas Alva Edison at the Edison Studios in Orange, New Jersey as a liberal adaptation of the famous 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. Edison's "Frankenstein" is the forefather of thousands of horror and monster films.

Film institutes and Museum Archives believed this classic was lost forever. For years this elusive "creature" has been hunted. Now an original 35mm theatrical print has been found & restored. This is the last known surviving print of Thomas Edison's 1910 Frankenstein!

This landmark 1910 film, considered to be the first horror movie, is also the first incarnation of the Frankenstein Monster on film. This 14 minute reel was all but forgotten until 1963 when a film historian discovered a photo of Edison’s Monster in the Edison archives in West Orange, New Jersey. But no print of the full movie could be found, and in 1980, The American Film Institute had declared Edison’s Frankenstein to be one of the top ten most "culturally and historically significant lost films."

But unbeknownst to the AFI and most historians, one print of this historic film had survived in the private collection of Mr. Alois Dettlaff of Wisconsin. When Mr. Dettlaff learned of the AFI list, he let it be known that Edison’s Frankenstein had indeed been preserved. But because of copyright concerns, Dettlaf has turned down requests to screen the movie from museums and film distributors the world over, and has only allowed it to be screened theatrically at two small gatherings in his hometown.

This first Frankenstein film is being released on DVD with its original music score for authenticity and with what is known as the first Dracula film, the 1922 version of Nosferatu by Murnau."

38 seconds of the film online for the Real Player

Harry of AICN claims to "have a film called EL SPECTRO ROJO from the late 1890's that is definitely a horror film of similar length." If that’s true, Edison’s film is not the first horror-movie, ok? So, go and scan El Spectro Rojo, man! The Missing Link is a great source for early horror-movies. Good articles, reviews, links, videos to order etc, real player-files

The final preview of Matrix Reloaded has got to be the biggest trailer ever and you will need a lot of bandwidth for this one. But it's supposed to be worth the wait if you're a promotion-junkie.

I didn't really like the original movie since I don't like all this saviour-crap and the digital Jesus didn't really make it, sorry. And I thought the styling was too obvious and the effects were just trying to show off. All this jumping around and stopping in mid-air looked stupid, come on.

But the site for The Matrix was good and it's just been relaunched for the two upcoming sequels. They got trailers, pictures, a game and I just wanted to point to the The Animatrix which is the cartoon-version. They got their own trailers too and the first episodes of this web-series are out there now. They will also be out on dvd. Seven different directors and a mix of full 3D and cel-shade-animation: this one really works much better than most of the other lame sf-crap. If you got a high-speed-connection, you should grab this. There's also a new videogame which looks fun.

The final poster is here. Why are there no skeletons on the poster? I mean, who wants to see Johnny Depp?

The trailer (5.6 MB) is here. This is an adaption of the classic ride in Uncle Walt's theme-park. I love pirate-skeletons chopping off heads!
The next thing will be movies based on popular candy-bars ("Milky Way-The Movie!") or Kellogs-charakters. I can see Robin Wiliams as Tony the Tiger. Download the first teaser-trailer with a click to the right! Watch out, it has 12.9 MB! Exklusives Interview mit Johnny Depp bei der Edition PANEL

Warner Brothers doesn't want to use the original poster for WHAT A GIRL WANTS anymore since it shows Amanda Bynes doing the victory sign and that's unamerican from now on. Peace is unamerican, you know.

"You see, under no circumstances do they want anyone to think that WHAT A GIRL WANTS is peace. You see, when she was originally standing between two Buckingham Palace Guards flashing the peace sign, they meant for that to just be a flippant status symbol that meant nothing.

Obviously, Peace being a forbidden and verboten concept now, that no flag-loving teenage apple-pie girl should be thinking about at these times and thus needs to be clearly eradicated from the pop-lexicon of the day." taken from AICN

Certain insiders reported that Halle Berry sticks to superheroes. After playing Storm in X-Men she will be Catwoman in a new adaption by french director Pitof. Sounds like a "straight to video"-project. I prefer CATWOMAN'S DRESSED TO KILL with Eartha Kitt from 1967.
