American Remakes Rant? (Let the Right One In)

By etrigan - Last updated: Tuesday, June 30, 2009

At GeekTyrant.com, MRBLACK posted about the American remake of Let The Right One In, and he’s being a bit of an ass about it. Let The Right One In was one of the best movies of 2008, and it received as much support in the US as you can reasonably expect from a subtitled Swedish […]

Mistake in “Juno”

By etrigan - Last updated: Wednesday, May 13, 2009

I hate to be that guy — no, I don’t — but, after seeing Juno over a dozen times, I feel I must draw attention to a “glaring” set of errors in the script and hence the movie, all in one phrase. I’ve repeated this quote several times with an admitted ignorance to the […]

For those of you who have seen “The Room” including a Q&A with Tommy Wiseau…as I did with several people at Alamo Drafthouse tonight.

9, the feature film (based on the short film “9”,) has a new clip out. This is a movie that has me rocking in anticipation like a 10 year old after a Super Big Gulp Slushee.

NSFW: One Eyed Monster – official trailer with Amber Benson

By etrigan - Last updated: Tuesday, April 21, 2009

I have crushes on every female that had any connection to BtVS. (No, I am not twitter-stalking Felicia Day!) Amber Benson even makes my top 3 BtVS loves, and now she’s doing a movie based on Ron Jeremy’s…ahem…member getting loose and going on a crime spree — think Idle Hands (where Seth Green […]

Merchant Ivory Does Vampires?

By etrigan - Last updated: Friday, April 17, 2009

William Hurt costars in a movie starring and directed by Julie Delpy that was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival. It isn’t exactly Merchant Ivory but a costume drama with blood sucking restorative power is intriguing.

(Fantastic Fest programmers should take note. :)
