Space Nazis Must Die!

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Let’s be honest, nazis on surfboards is so 1987. In this day and age, we moviegoers expect bigger things from our ideologically retarded warmongers, and what could possible be any bigger than freaking outer space? I think the world is truly ready to see some white supremacists die in zero gravity, but right now we’re all going to have to make do with the teaser trailer for Iron Sky

Justice, One Shell at a Time

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

While Machete is getting positively drowned in a sea of pre-release hype, it’s not the only fake grindhouse trailer that’s currently being made into a full-length film. Prior to the release of the original double-feature, Robert Rodriguez held a contest asking fans to make their own little trainwreck of a trailer, and Jason Eisener’s Hobo With a Shotgun snatched up the crown. While few of us actually got to see Jason’s work in theaters, there’s just no stopping the twin barrels of hobo justice once they get going, and soon this insanely ridiculous bit of hobosploitation will be let loose upon the entire world as an actual feature.

Taxidermia

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Cronenberg-esque body horror, tackled with a heavy helping of wit and the visual ingenuity of Jan Svankmajer, Jeunet and Caro. In other words: Wow.

Kick-Ass

The trailer led you to believe this movie was just Superbad dressed up in tights. The trailer lied to you.

Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee

Now that I’ve enjoyed a movie about a rap legend in the making, I expect someone to seriously reevaluate my street cred.

You’ll Wanna Dip Your Balls in This

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Way back in the days when MTV didn’t spend all of its time sucking loads of ass (an idea that seems practically utopian in light of their recent programming), they hosted a sketch comedy show called The State, and it was often hilarious. Hell, even when the show didn’t make you laugh, it was still hypnotically bizarre, and the ridiculous antics had plenty of us gen x/y teens tuning in every week for three seasons.

Ronnie Barnhardt is one angry dude, and angry dudes aren’t usually the sort of guys you want in any sort of position of authority.

Release Date Of The Creeps

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Finally, after many years of treating Fred Dekker’s Night of the Creeps like the red-headed step child of zombie films, Sony Pictures has begun work on a director’s cut of the 80s cult-classic to be released on DVD, and possibly even Blu-ray, this October (right in time for both my birthday and Halloween)! I’d wager a guess that most people have no idea that this film even exists, and I can’t say that I blame them, as it has previously only been kept alive in the hearts and minds of steadfast genre geeks, except for the handful who happen to own a shoddy bootleg, or one of the increasingly more rare VHS or Laserdisc versions (if you don’t know what a Laserdisc is, ask your grandparents).

Adventureland

A gentle reminder that life in the 80s wasn’t all cocaine, hookers, and haircuts inspired by A Flock of Seagulls.

How Do You Protect Yourself From a Dildo?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Sacha Baron Cohen is the kind of guy you either love or hate, and judging by the new trailer for Bruno, he’s not looking to change that. I don’t need to waste any time telling you what this film is all about, as Cohen is long removed from the days when he was “merely” a budding HBO import, but I will say that it looks like it’s going to be a damn fun time (assuming you thought Borat was a damn fun time). Of course, if you’re just looking for a reminder of how ignorant and bigoted Americans can be, you could keep your $10 and just go stand around your local frat bar.

Kenny Motherfucking Starfighter

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Life is full of tragedies, and I just stumbled upon another one today. Somehow, despite having a longtime affection for (and being fairly obsessive about) certain elements of Scandinavian media (not to mention having a direct line of contact to that part of the globe, thanks to my roommate and Automaton cohort Lars), I have remained completely unaware of the glory that is Kenny motherfucking Starfighter.

This description was going to feature a hilarious Star Wars joke in it, but we didn’t want to make this film look worse.
