Wow! I knew Dr. Boll was seriously arrogant and full of himself already. He's told us before that the reason we don't like his movies is not because the movies are crap. Not, it's because we are idiots. He's come out and said that. Now he has a video response to all the people and their petitions for him to stop making films. He declares that he is the "only genius in the whole f***ing business" and demands that petitions be circulated praising him and asking him to continue making his wonderful movies. This really has to be seen to be believed:

World War Z on the Big Screen

Jessika sent to a review of J. Michael Straczynski's script for the upcoming World War Z movie. I absolutely loved the book; it is hands down the best zombie fiction I have ever read. Max Brooks really put his finger on what the zombie war will really be all about, from a wide variety of points of view. It's these differing points of view that really make the story work, and part of me had grave doubts indeed about them making it work for a movie. I figured the feature film was inevitable when production companies owned by Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio got into a bidding war for the movie rights before the book even came out. You don't spend that kind of money to sit on the rights and not make a movie. I worried a bit less when I found out JMS was attached as the screenwriter.

Crank 2: Electric Boogaloo

Statham in CrankI make no secret about, nor to I apologize for, .  It has to be the most brilliant satire of the 80s action flick I've ever seen.  They pared everything down to the barest minimum plot needed to drive the absolutely insane and over-the-top action, and made no secret about which part was more important.  Crank is a movie I will always be in the mood for, and will always be overjoyed to sit down and watch with people. Now, I can't help but include a pretty blantant spoiler here to continue talking about the sequel told me they're making.  So if that's going to bother you, knowing the ending of the original, stop reading now.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThe trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released today. I've been a huge fan of the series forever. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first video tape my family ever owned, back when VHS was new and shiny. I gave serious thought to the field of archeology when I was in school, and even took a a couple of courses in college. All because I wanted to be Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. if I grew up.

According to the latest entry at Wired's Table of Malcontents, there is a new Cthulhu movie coming to us soon. Ordinarily, this would be the cause of much rejoicing and excitement.

Uwe Boll Redefines Horror, Again

By "redefine," I naturally mean "proves he has no concept of." First an apology. Usually I use other people's reviews solely as a guide in selecting what movies I myself will watch, and occasionally to tell me what to look for, good or bad, within the film. But I fear I will not be strong enough to watch Uwe's masterpiece of originality, Seed, myself. So instead, I am going to rely on Quint's review over on Ain't It Cool News for my information on this disaster. Perhaps I will one day again have the strength, or requisite insanity, to stare into the abyss again, but for now, one Boll-fiasco is enough for this lifetime.

Unnecessary Sequel Alert

Submitted by corwin on Tue, 7 Nov 2006 4:45pm

Matt Bradshaw over at Cinematical recently posted that director Ruggero Deodato has plans to make a sequel to his controversial 1980 film, . He has apparently been inspired by the success of Eli Roth's , and believes the American audience is now ready for the gorefest that would be Cannibal Holocaust II: Electric Boogaloo (ok, he hasn't announced the title yet).There are movies out there very deserving of sequels. For all I know, Hostel is one of those, and will be a good one. But Cannibal Holocaust wasn't one of those movies. It really lacked any redeeming (or entertainment) value for me. Instead of expanding the story, or increasing the number of graphic human deaths, Deodato chose instead to just show us the actual killing of several animals. I'm probably jaded watching it over 25 years after it was released, but I that's just not all that shocking to me. I could see why the authorities thought it might be an actual snuff film, but that's just a bit of historical trivia to me, not a reason to watch it.
