LIFF '09: LA HORDE review

It's always frustrating to see a director missing the point. Manly and self-righteous though most of eighties action cinema was, the best films of the decade gave the audience both ludicrously violent wish-fulfilment and a genuine sense of gleefully adolescent hero-worship. Few viewers could seriously believe they actually were Arnie, or Sly, or Dolph but many wanted to be, dispensing gruesomely inventive...

Big Trouble in Little China

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is an enjoyable mash-up of classic Westerns, Saturday-morning serials, and Chinese wuxia than any of the Indiana Jones movies, with Kurt Russell in full bloom as Carpenter's de rigueur hard-drinkin', hard-gamblin', wise-crackin' loner...

The best DVD commentaries

When it comes to books, games and music I’m often happiest away from the bright lights of the charts, exploring dark, dusty corners of the catalogue. Film, though… I never seem to enjoy going beyond big budget megahits. I’ve fallen asleep in every single one of Pedro Almodovar’s films. These three threads (one, two, three) on [...]

A Field Guide to Horror Movie Jerks

I've talked alot about jerks here at Final Girl. Usually I'm referring to people who disagree with my opinions or don't like the things I like or something- you know, Paul Reiser fans and the such. After all, this is The Internet, and therefore anyone who doesn't think exactly as I do is a jerk. Today, however, I want to focus on horror movie jerks. I've talked about those in the past as well, but...

Manny Farber's best films of 1951, #4: 'The Thing From Another World," directed (it is said) by Christian Nyby

Previous installments here, here, and here. Farber: "Howard Hawks's science-fiction quickie directed by Christian Nyby; fast, crisp and cheap, without any progressive-minded gospel-reading about neighborliness in the atomic age; good airplane take-offs and landings; wonderful shock effects (the plants that...

Dark Star

Dark Star is a 1974 science fiction/comedy film, the first feature film of John Carpenter . At about 21 minutes in there's a delightful little musical instrument. This is the 2nd science fiction film I can remember seeing that includes surfing in the plot. Watch it online: Moria gives it 4 stars and says, "The film has this sense of deadpan humour that just sits there and keeps building to the...

An insatiable thirst for vampire stories is telling of our times

From Courier Mail AU THEY have stalked us for centuries, the night creatures preying on the blood of the living, beings once like us but who now crave only breathing, bleeding flesh. They are the whispered tales of unspeakable things of ancient myth, the dark and brooding monsters of folklore who feast upon us. In popular culture they are the 19th-century vampires of Bram Stoker's Dracula, from the...

Even when they're being nice...

The Sun today carried a story about the five British soldiers . There's nothing controversial about it. It just an article about the soldiers and some of the relatives that have to pick up the pieces after losing a loved one. But even when The Sun is being nice and sensitive it still can't help but have a little dig. One of the soldiers, Warrant Officer Darren Chant, was expecting to become a father...

Memo to Michael Bay: GI JOE KICKS YOUR ASS!

Superheroes with toy franchise tie-ins get a lot of heat... unless critics had a real lively sense of humor they trashed both TRANSFORMERS (as well as WOLVERINE, TERMINATOR SALVATION, etc.) but GI JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA does everything right. AND it gets a lot less things wrong. One can only hope the Michael Bays, Brett Ratners and McGs pay attention when watching JOE (though its director, Stephen...

Patch 3.3 PTR: Invincible

You know how like Michael Bay wanted Transformers to be a story about a boy and his car? Or how John Carpenter made a film about one teen's dangerous obsession with a murderous car ? Well, the World of Warcraft version is about to come to life -- or unlife -- when patch 3.3 finally goes up. MMO Champion has uncovered model files for Invincible, the Lich King's personal steed. As the datamining suggests...

Coolest thing seen online tonight or this morning! Seriously cool!

But as I've been working on the late DVD column (SORRY) and awaiting a query regarding the number of seats for BNAT to be answered and watching many great upcoming BluRays and features... I found the following link. Now sure, That kid above has created science fiction comic book fantasy into a vague sense of reality thus connecting the fantastic with the fucking rad of today...

Birds & Batteries, “Sneaky Times” MP3

What if John Carpenter kept up on new music? He’d be like, Why do all these bands play the keyboard like me but with the VHS tracking all fucked up and wobbly? And no one would be able to answer him with anything else except to let him know that it sounds awesome. This Birds [...]
