This Is Really Starting To Take The Piss.

First we get Rob Zombie re-making the incredible John Carpenter's "Halloween". Then I hear that Warner Brothers is planning to remake the fantastic Bruce Lee classic "Enter The Dragon". Now we have Tony Scott "re-imagining" the incredible "Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3".

Now don't get me wrong I'm not a Tony Scott hater I think he has made some great films throughout his career. I'm probably one of the biggest "Beverly Hills Cop 2" fans in the world. "Last Boy Scout", "True Romance" and "Enemy Of The State" are all brilliant, "Domino" and "Deja Vu" not so much. Tony Scott is also directing the re-make of "The Warriors". The point I'm trying to make is that all of these movies are of their time and this is what makes them great.

Do we really need anymore re-makes with "nu-metal" soundtracks?

Whats next? "The 'Burbs"?, "The Goonies"?, "The Lost Boys"?

Southland Tales Trailer

"Spider-Woman" By Alex Maleev

Currently burrowing it's way into my brain....

You know how some songs work their way into your frontal lobe and refuse to let go?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the wonderful M.I.A. with Jimmy.
I still can't work out whether this is trash or genius.



However, her track $20 is genius (You Tube link). Chanting / Rapping over what sounds suspiciously like slowed down New Order, before inexplicably breaking into the chorus of the Pixies' 'Where is my Mind?' and all the way through random Arabic chanting and dropped beats litter the track.

(God, the other contributors on this are going to hate this so very much, let the slagging off begin.............)

Dave Gahan "Kingdom"

The Boys by Garth Ennis

Latest PROPAGANDA review over at FPI weblog is online.

As far as I’m concerned this is Garth Ennis’ big comeback – he’s either coasting (if you’re being charitable) or lacking ideas since coming up with Preacher over 12 years ago now. Everything he’s done in the intervening years has been either a Preacher clone (Punisher?) or pretty crap (Wormwood?). I’m beginning to think that even Ennis was starting to believe this, as he was often quoted as saying that “The Boys will out-Preacher Preacher”. The Boys, I’m really pleased to be able to tell you, is the first really decent thing I think that he’s written since Preacher. I know a lot of you will point to the excessive comedic violence, the crudity, the sick jokes and the abundance of bodily fluids and claim it’s yet another Preacher rip-off. But even if it is a Preacher clone, it’s the best bloody Preacher clone anyone’s come up with since, well, Preacher.

30 Days Of Night Movie Poster

"Gone Baby Gone" Trailer

Directed by Ben Affleck. Based on the Novel by Dennis Lehane. Say what you like about Afflecks acting ability, but this looks damn good.

Two Films I Probably Won't Get To See At The Cinema

"I want someone to eat cheese with"
Written, directed and starring Jeff Garlin of "Curb your enthusiasm" fame, this looks like it could be not your average romantic comedy.


"Lars and the real girl"
Again another movie that looks like it has romantic comedy elements but will hopefully avoid all the cliches that come with them. Starring the fantastic Ryan Gosling who seems to be dipping his fingers into a lot of independent pies lately.

After Seven Years Of Writing It......

Garth Ennis is leaving The Punisher. And it's about bloody time too. He's been writing the fucking book about six years too long as it is. For me the best work he did was "Welcome Back Frank" with Steve Dillon. It's the only Punisher book you will ever need to own.
