Quick behind the scenes of Inglorious Basterds with Mike Myers doing his english general.

Bruno is out this June and has now been given an M rating in the US after much editing it seems.

It is also accompanied by some extremely good promotional photos here;


There's also a trailer. The

Saw Crank 2 again yesterday. Even after two viewings it remains absolutely magnificent. Sadly it would be a crime to spoil most of the insanity that features but I will say that at one point it becomes a Japanese Monster Movie, and that Ginger Spice plays Chev Chelios' mum.

You are probably alone in that but I had a great deal of fun watching Love Actually recently, fun in the sense that it was so monumentally wank.
The whole Kris Marshall going to America and having a three-some story left a particularly bad taste in my mouth, mainly as I spend the duration of any scenes imagining Richard Curtis bashing one off.

Oh I love that film. Not one but THREE storylines about Richard Curtis relatable everyman characters fucking the staff. Hugh Grant's stammering PM fucks the tea lady, Colin Firth's bumbling author fucks his maid and Alan Rickman's twitchy art dealer fucks his secretary. Something on your mind there, Mr Curtis?

Crank 2

Deserves a thread. I don't understand the reactionary critical crap both films got based on the prior mistakes bad choices this cockney wanker has made. The first is a classic in my book. Will be watching the sequel tonight.

Crank 1 could be the ultimate action movie - it's everything that makes them great, with a lunatic video-game sensibility, compressed into a feature-length thousand-miles-an-hour ride. I love it and love Jason Statham and all he surveys. In fact, I love it that much I kinda like the other not-so-good films he's been in a little more (Death Race, Transporter 3).

Crank 2 was an experience to remember. It was even more bizarre and surreal that the first one (an achievement in itself) and contained some absolutely marvellous sequences. I keep cracking up just thinking about

. And it featured a one-line cameo from the Dean of Mean as well. The one thing it was missing compared to the first one was a

This sounds a bit rubbish. From Filmdrunk:

QuoteSet for an August 7th release after its premiere at Sundance,  Paper Heart is a Nicholas Jasenovec mockumentary starring real-life couple  Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi as fictionalized versions of Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi.  In the movie, Yi goes on a quest to make a documentary about love, which she doesn't believe in, while simultaneously falling for Cera.  You catch all that?  It's sort of a documentary about a girl making a movie about her and her boyfriend, who sort of play themselves but not really.  I give it three dismissive wanks and a mouth fart.

Watched State of Play last night and thought it was pretty good. I never saw the TV series so I can't say how it stacks up, but it was reasonably underplayed for a big Hollywood thriller, Russel Crowe was very good and had some depth to his character, and Helen Mirren provided some funny moments.

Going to see In the Loop or Let The Right One In tonight depending on when both films arrive. Hopefully they won't be too late and whoever splices it ends up putting a reel in upside down. Doing Print previews of films is a hit and miss job, especially when you have to watch The Prestige with all the reels in the wrong order.

'Joke' trailer from 2007's Grindhouse movie to become full length feature.

Oh and some rumblings about resurrecting the Predator franchise.

Yeah.

Some brand new Japanese film about a woman in a bikini who slices up zombies with a katana. I'm guessing that's how the producers pitched it, too.

Nik Drou

You lot are going to absolutely love this one...

A remake of 'Drop Dead Fred' starring Russell Brand.

Jemble Fred

Brand should never be seen anywhere near little girls. His 'Fred' would just be waiting for there to be grass on the pitch.

The original is massively flawed, but I did like it very much as a kid. The ending even made me cry at the time – the last time any film managed that.

Is that polite code for "awful shit"?

Jemble Fred

Nah, I wouldn't go quite that far in describing anything with Rik Mayall in it, due to the fact that Rik Mayall is in it. That's surely a saving grace for any film.

Yes, even Churchill: The Hollywood Years. And Merlin: The Return. And Guest House Paradiso. And... er... yeah.

EDIT: Oh hello, this looks... good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1351631/

Did you miss the aliend vs Predator movie then?

Strangely enough I wsa just thinking of the 'Drop Dead Fred' movie only yesterday. I was thinking about how Lenny henry tried to crack Hollywood which then wandered over to Rik Mayall's attempt.
I wonder if the remake will be a success, and how different it will be from the original?

Famous Mortimer

"True Identity" made "Drop Dead Fred" look like...a better film, by comparison. I wouldn't want to over-compliment either film.

Nik Drou

Do people really hate Drop Dead Fred that much?  I remember really enjoying it for the most part as a kid.  I daren't revisit it now as, by the looks of it, it won't be improved in the light of adulthood.  Doesn't anyone else have fond memories of it?

It's surely better than bloody True Identity.

Hmm...

I can't work out if this is going to be more like Alien Nation than Stalker?

The politics and 'message' seems a bit unsubtle, but I am interested to see what they have done with this.

Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth

It looks to be to Independence Day what Cloverfield was to Godzilla. But different.

Johnny Townmouse

It's Mars Attacks on termazapan.

Looks pretty cool, the approach looks fresher than the idea. Hopefully it won't be stupid.

Spike Jonze at the helm of Where the Wild Things Are, with James Gandolfini voicing the main fluffy. Sounds nice but one concern is that Tom Hanks is producing.

Big new four minute trailer for Terminator Salvation.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/terminatorsalvation/
Charlie's Angels and Bale's super freakouts aside, its Transformers meets Mad Max approach does look like it could be, if not good like the first two, at least fun.

"Rated PG13" is a bit of a letdown, though.

biggytitbo

Looks alright when boiled down to 4 minutes. Although I'm still not hopefully that awful director won't make it look like one long tiresome video game.

A Korean disaster film called something that many will read as "Hyundai?" That'll be the Daewoo, hur hur.
