Do I really expect my childhood back? – Thoughts on new STAR WARS

Do I really expect my childhood back? – Thoughts on new STAR WARS

I don’t know how old you are, but I saw THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK three times on opening day. I was a nine year-old girl. I went with my older brother to the very first screening, got out of it, ran into a friend of his from High School and (sort-of)  browbeat him into loaning us money to see it again and to let us cut in line with him. Viewing number...

Christian Bale’s Pokémon Movie

Christian Bale’s Pokémon Movie

Christian Bale’s American Psycho scene with the cards is a classic. Swap the business cards for Pokémon cards and there you have it. I suppose “Got To Catch ‘em All” could apply to both. Source:...

Firefly Deleted Scenes….Gorram!

Firefly Deleted Scenes….Gorram!

Near the end of last year the Science Channel had a Firefly reunion show, Firefly: Browncoats Unite. The special saw Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres and Jewel Staite talk about the show which so many of us love. During the special a number of deleted scenes were shown. If you did not get the...

Best Fight Scene Ever: Part 35 – Robocop Drug Factory Shootout

Best Fight Scene Ever: Part 35 – Robocop Drug Factory Shootout

“Come quietly or there will be…trouble” With those words Robocop took out a warehouse full of bad guys. Great scene from a great movie. Will the remake match it? Will the new Robocop move in a similar way to the original or will he move like a normal human? Can anyone match the character of Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) for a great...

After 40 years — it’s time to WAKE IN FRIGHT

After 40 years —  it’s time to WAKE IN FRIGHT

 I recently got the opportunity to see a new old film set in the brutal Australian Outback made by a polite Canadian who has waited forty years for the rest of the world to catch up to his bleak tale of a man’s fast downhill slide into the worst extremes of humanity and give it the recognition it deserved in 1971. The film is the excellent and hard to...

Gimme all your money! – TWO-HEADED COP edition

Gimme all your money! – TWO-HEADED COP edition

For a little while now I’ve been backing a variety of projects on Kickstarter, and I posted here recently ago about PROJECT: Phoenix on IndieGogo to try to help someone I know raise additional funds for this multi-part webseries. I have thought about something like this; highlighting works in progress here in LFF …some of whom are so small you might...

Kids Swede Movies: The Big Lebowski

Kids Swede Movies: The Big Lebowski

Most of us love The Big Lebowski. What if “The Dude” didn’t just act like a first grader… but WAS a first grader?Kids swede “The Dude” meeting Mr. Lebowski in this epic scene from the Coen Brothers film. They have also done a scene from There Will Be Blood. You have probably seen their recreation of the chestburster scene...

Bring the s’mores — We’re going camping at MOONRISE KINGDOM!

Bring the s’mores — We’re going camping at MOONRISE KINGDOM!

It is HOT (see photo right) in Atlanta. Like Neil Simon movie-quotes hot. But if you’re going to spend a cool few hours out of the heat (up to 106 F / 41C) then the latest by Wes Anderson, MOONRISE KINGDOM, is one of the best ways you can do it. This film is filled with so much twee-charm that I’m surprised they can fit it all on the screen and it...

Review: Killer Joe – The One Where I Can’t Eat My Chicken (Zinger) Tonight

EDIT: **To my bemusement, I’ve got some shit for this review. I don’t think it includes anything close to spoilers, but that’s what I’ve had thrown at me. So, if you’re going, and you want to be completely fresh, ignore. If not, and like me, everything you’ve read mentions that there bit of chicken on the poster, then read...

Watch 50 minutes of Blue Velvet deleted scenes

Watch 50 minutes of Blue Velvet deleted scenes

David Lynch’s Blue Velvet is one of his best. Lynch’s original cut was over four hours long. He was contractually obligated to deliver a two-hour movie by De Laurentiis and had to cut many small subplots and character scenes. Almost an hour of those scenes that were previously thought lost have been put on the recent US Blu-ray release. Sadly they...
