Bootleg Dark Knight Trailer Makes Me Feel Dirty, Excited

Sure whoever made this highly illegal and unorthodox bootleg could have had the decency not to talk during the damn thing or to turn the blasted auto focus off.

CHOCOLATE will Kick Your Ass

Andrew Cunningham always shares the best violence.

24fps has updated their posting on Chocolate with a link (via Deknang) to a 3-minute promo reel. It fleshes out the story of the autistic girl (Nitcharee Wismitanant), showing her developing uncanny muay thai and martial arts skills at an early age, as well as getting jacked up on chocolate M&M's candy, hence the name of the film.

The girl's mother is injured by a yakuza (Pongpat Wachirabunjong), so when the little girl grows into a fighting machine, it's the yakuza she comes to blows with.

More info after the candied kick.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Redband Trailer Ruins Me for other Movies

I thought I knew what a movie trailer was until I viewed this red band trailer for the Coen Bros new movie NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

On top of that, Rotten Tomatoes has a 95% fresh rating for their latest effort. If you're into that kind of thing.

The NCFOM official site has better sound and all that. It makes me wonder. Have the Coens decided to kick ass again?

"A high school English teacher tries his best to be a decent husband, a department store floor manager uses the warehouse for more than just storage, a Mini-Mart clerk has big dreams, a lawyer struggles with a sexual dilemma and sociopathic brothers ruin the day of random strangers they come in contact with. Look tells five private stories which unfold before the prying eye of the covert camera to chilling effect."

Dark Horse Indie is doing Interesting Things

And they roped in Phil of the Future for the ride.

Riddled with guilt over the loss of his rock star older brother, 16 year old David Forrester (Ricky Ullman) becomes obsessed with death, leading his misguided parents to send him to Driftwood, an "Attitude Adjustment Camp for Troubled Youths" run by the sadistic Captain Doug Kennedy (Diamond Dallas Page) and his brutal young henchman, Yates (Talan Torriero). Once there, David becomes haunted by the spirit of Jonathan (Connor Ross), a former inmate who met a mysterious end; a mystery whose resolution could very well be David's only way out..............

The movie's called Driftwood and looks to be released directly to DVD this November.

One of a few direct to DVD projects I've seen that seems worth a watch.

FANBOYS Trailer. Not the Kiwi One. The USA One.

Yeah, it's all a bit confusing when you overthink like me. A New Zealand short film called Fanboys hit the internets in 2003. Damn if I didn't recall it until I read the copy on wiki. Then it all came flooding over me like carbonite in a freezing chamber.

What I know about the new FANBOYS is that Veronica Mars(Kristen Bell, y'all.) graces it with her awesomeness, the new Jimmy Olsen(Sam Huntington was hands down the best actor in SUPERMAN RETURNS) has a lead in it and, of course, the funny looking Star Wars loving/parodying trailer have me saving up 8 bucks for January 2008.

WEB TRAILER: Drawn By Pain

Drawn By Pain is a web series that involves live action and anime-like drawings. From what I can tell, a real life girl has the ability to bring her drawings to life. Of course, the little girl has been damaged all to hell.

The trailer's better than most web made shows I've seen. It's too late to view any of the series but view it I shall. As soon as I'm awake at a "decent" hour.

Also, the brightcove feature looks like a handy bit of code. The auto-start is a bit annoying. I might drop the code below the jump in a day or so.

UPDATE: It happened. The trailer's under the cut.

This looks nothing like TRANSFORMERS or even the spirit of TRANSFORMERS. The only thing that comes close to making it TRANSFORMERS is there are machines in it that transform.

PAPRIKA is Curiously Cool Looking

This ain't your mama's paprika. This here PAPRIKA will invade your headspace and cause fits of cool to shudder throughout your body.

Can dreams drive you crazy? Is the boundary between dream life and so-called real life permeable? Satoshi Kon has been making brilliant animations based on these and similar questions since "Perfect Blue," his 1998 feature debut about an idol singer whose life, inner as well as outer, is invaded by an obsessed fan.

His latest and, he says, last investigation of this dream-vs.-reality theme is "Paprika," which premiered at this year's Venice Film Festival and has been selected as a possible nominee for an animation Oscar. I have no idea if his film will make it into the final five, but it is definitely different from not only the talking-animal, 3G animation for kiddies that is now standard in Hollywood, but also the manga-based, sci-fi fantasy that the Japanese animation industry exports in large quantities to the world.

True, it has SF elements, the main one being a gizmo called the DC Mini that looks like a futuristic hearing aid and can transmit the wearer's dreams -- think of an MP3 Web site that allows you to share dreams instead of tunes.

But instead of focusing on his hardware or spinning the usual good-vs.-evil SF story, Kon takes his audience on a wild, fantastic ride into a land of extreme dreaming, where primal desires and fears (absolute freedom, appropriation of one's identity by a malevolent Other) come to gaudy, phantasmagorical life.

I know it sounds like THE CELL. But this actually has a thought behind it. I'm sure of this(sight unseen) cause director Satoshi Kon did the amazing PERFECT BLUE, the mesmerizing MILLENIUM ACTRESS, and the flat out awesome PARANOIA AGENT.

That's 3 to 1 against CELL director Tarsem Singh.

All THE CELL did was show me J Lo smoking pot(points for the panty shot) and Vicnent D'Onofrio in weird hair. It got points for mentioning FANTASTIC PLANET but lost all off them when it turned into a 90 minute music video.

There's a one sheet under the cut.

Shag Your way through the Bond-verse

And by "shag" I mean "fuck" and by "fuck" I mean "make love with your eyes."

The James Bond franchise is dead and buried in my head. The last shovelfull of dirt was thrown when they pushed the idea that Denise Richards could be a Nuclear physicists. I mean, at best she's radioactive waste.

But this is about love not hate of one of the silliest Bond girls in the history of double 0's. The following links are all the bond trailers and intros ever made.

WATCH: 45 years of Bond trailers
WATCH: 45 years of Bond intros

it was a tough call for the promo vid. I'm a little bitch for the Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. Diamonds are Forever is full of shiny inuendo. Yet The Spy Who Loved Me is one sexy piece of musical alright.

For Your Eyes Only is a close runner up for sexiness, but I have issues with a musical artist forcing her visage into a movie in order to sell her albums.

Hot Fuzz is Ready to Tease

Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are at it again. They're doing their damndest to prove me wrong. I didn't think making a buddy cop comedy was the best idea after the hilarious Shaun of the Dead. The Police Academy movies(7 in all with an 8th in the making, kids) killed all my interests in that genre along with half my will to live.

Super Troopers was a good effort and the one exception to that rule.

Then I watched the Hot Fuzz teaser trailer #2:

Daft Punk's "Electroma" is a Little Weird

To anyone who has not seen "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5olar 5ystem" this Daft Punk movie teaser might seem a tad strange. Interstella 5555 was an anime movie done in the style of "Captain Harlock" himself, Leiji Matsumoto. It was set entirely to Daft Punk's album Discovery and had no dialogue. I own it and think the damn thing's brilliant.

So I watched Electroma's trailer figuring that DP was up to similar tricks.

WTF? Robot marriage? Robots on a rip roarin' road trip? Robot's clad in black leather? I don't know what this movie's about but I'm sort of intrigued by it.

Clips from Interstella 5555 can be found on "God's loving heart" here, here, and here.

Happy Daiz and Arthur Dent will get my movie money

In the spirit of that despicable greeting card induced "holiday" I give you Confetti's trailer and one sheet:

To be honest, the trailer doesn't particualrly grab me. The main reason I want to see it is Jessica Stevenson. That woman is funny. The kind of funny that greets you with a grin then sneaks round the corner and waits to bash you in the back of the head with hilarity type funny. Savvy viewers will remember her as Shaun's doppleganger friend in Shaun of the Dead.

Cheeky lads and lasses know her from the "you should find, watch and praise me for introducing you to such an awesome British comedy" Spaced.

Oh and Martin Freeman from the movie version of Hitchhiker's Guide and the original British comedy The Office is in there too.

Deeper digging revealed to me that the dialogue was completely improvised. Much like Waiting for Guffman.

Ultraviolet must always equal vampires

I swear it must cause there has to be a billion movies out there that involve that name and has a vampire in it. IMDB calims there are only four, but they've been wrong before too many times to count.

I wasn't impressed with the idea of UltraViolet at first. I mean, how many times has the vampire-as-infection idea been done anyway? Then I noticed that it has the same director/writer(Kurt Wimmer) that did Equilibrium. UV will probably get my theatre money just for that fact.

Is funny but Milla looks more the Aeon Flux part than Charlize Theron. Probably woulda did a better job at it too.

Though I'll leave all the beer-can fucking to Demonbaby.

But if they're just lying there in a vending machine, who's to fault me for buying one for novelty purposes? I mean, it's not like I'd actually fuck the thing.

Maybe.

...

I'll shut up now.

WATCH: "How did Kerry Lose?," You ask

The documentary "Inside the Bubble" points to a handful of ideas.

I wonder who put this doc together.

Be sure to view the "Pony Time" clip. It's just...gods... I just don't know what that was about.

Reeker

Gearing up for All Hallow's Eve means scary stories, scary movies, and butt-loads of candy.

We'll start with upcoming scary movies and work from there.

All reports and re-vamped website point to this one being worth your 10 bucks.

Bed Dead and Breakfast

I'm going to con Dunc! into letting me watch his copy of this flick.

He always finds and buys movies that somehow slip below the radar. That tust be his mutant power.

Watch the trailer.

Anime Watch

Memento may be a way for me to keep up with the latest anime in Japan.

I was looking for something called Speed Grapher and managed to find a trailer for it. Not sure about that one.

I haven't run across any really good and new series lately. What's with the slump, guys?

MOVIES: The Baxter

Just heard Michael Showalter (The State, Stella)has a movie coming out called The Baxter.

Fucking genius idea on Showalter's part, I think. Is it going to be good? I'll just have to watch and find out.

Kong IS King

Jack Black almost consumed by insects?

(Yay!)

T-rexes love the ladies?

(Tasty.)

One REALLY BIG ape?

(I'm talking giganta-normous here.)

Must be the King Kong trailer.

(via dunc!, cause I'm so behind on entertainment news that it ain't even funny. I mean, damn, I got future groonklets to feed.)

the accountant

Does your wife have a beauty mark on her left titty that looks like a second nipple?
--the accountant

I swear to god, this short film looks funny and worth paying 20 bucks to see.

There are video clips to help you decide.
