Attack Of The Killer Bs

Rejoice yet, yer faithless, heartless (a prerequisite for any known fans, I'm afraid) fan of the infamous B action flicks! (If you have a problem recognizing this genre, think Steven Seagal with his 60s' Batman moves (yes I know he's a black belt master...doesn't make any difference to the lame & tame action sequences) and Jean-Claude Van Damme and his body of works, of whom absence here is best explained by the very much self-parodied JCVD, where he plays himself caught in an actual B Action Flick situation. Well, all in all, another story for another time.) A gathering of the B Flick stars, directed, written and starring in a lead role by the Undisputed Emperor of Bs, Sylvester Stallone himself! Let's roll with the ensemble... Jason Statham... Forget Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or Vin "The Pacifier" Diesel, the one true heir to true blue B... Jet Li... A bone fide grade star in Asia, but sadly, made to suit B' Flicks in the West, but nonetheless beats good ol's Jason Statham when it comes to top billing... Dolph Lundgren... If Stallone is indeed the Emperor, he is the Darth Vader...with his terrifying horrendous work rate at churning out the Bs.. Stone Cold Steve Austin... Not much Bs to offer, what with his mediocre offer to Hollywood, headlining the WWE film, The Condemned and, uh not much else. Here's the poster. A Vintage...B poster, I must add. Watch for it!

Houston, We Have A Codec Problem!

From Slashdot. Atlantis astronauts fixed the Hubble Space Telescope so it could beam cosmic pictures to Earth, but playing DVDs on their laptops is proving too difficult. With an unwanted off day Friday because thunderstorms prevented their scheduled landing, the astronauts intended to pass the time by watching movies they brought on the mission. But when they tried to play them, they found out that their laptops didn't have the proper software. Engineers on the ground tried to troubleshoot the problem - just as they did when a hand rail almost prevented spacewalkers from fixing one instrument in Hubble. After more than an hour with no solution, the astronauts gave up. Astronaut John Grunsfeld radioed to Earth that they'd have to wait to watch something at a terrestrial movie theater. The proud makers behind vlc probably had an epiphany after reading this. Pretty sure every average joe on the street had the very same frustration before... Screw Rocket Science! Screw cosmic picture! I just want to play my video!

Blinding Image Of May

We are indeed living an age of being basked in the golden ray of the golden age of comic book-to-movie adaptation. Or so it seems, with this delicate compilation of some sorry excuse of cosplaying Superhero wannabes. By the by, I'm being kind here.... The original title of the source were "some fags dressed in super hero costumes". And if you think this is indeed blinding, check out the original.

Antichrist

Lars von Trier. Almost synonymous with weirdo art house flicks. Now picture this: He actually just churned out a movie on one of the favourite niche repeated ad nauseam by Hollywood. The Antichrist. Cue Slayer's metal classic's riff.... Uh no, it's not Satanic. It's Lars von Trier. So it can only be worse than that. It's probably more evil than Satanic. And that, is good. Watch for it. Agreed that the poster above was pretty nifty? Check out the trailer then. Lars von Trier's Antichrist - Official Trailer from Zentropa on Vimeo.

Blood: The Last Vampire

Aside from its slightly awkward title, "Blood: The Last Vampire", an original anime feature film produced by the impeccable Production I.G back in the year 2000, an aspiring time in anime industry where the western otaku crowds had finally started marching out in hordes (and many in their mostly pathetic cosplay get-up), was quite a mini phenomenon so to speak, spawning a fifty episode anime series (Blood+, set in an alternate reality mirroring the film), some Japanese novels, the obligatory video game, and inevitably now, a live-action feature film. The official site seemed to be under the title of "Last Blood" (probably in lieu to the earlier mentioned awkwardness in the original title) but it has been confirmed that it will remained as "Blood: The Last Vampire". The opening of the trailer seemed like a blast from the past right out of the Shaw's 70s kungfu flicks with the funky ninja types but gets pretty promising (for an actioner bill, that is) as it moves on, what with the extended gratuitous gore and the cool moves by Koyuki (famed in the west for her role in "The Last Samurai") as the very cool-looking villain. Incidentally, the film will be staying true to source by being filmed primarily in English, though marketing probably had more to with this decision, if you ask me.

Newcastle United Relegated

Newcastle United, just got relegated. This happens to be one of those times that, if I had not grown up at all, I'll be getting down on my knees, put my little hands together and say a little prayer and it sounded like this, "Dear God, I just want a draw, one goal's all it take!". Well, I do recalled such prayers happening back in 1987, rooting for Michael Jackson to sweep all the puny awards available with his "Bad" album (in retrospect, an awfully corny piece) in 1987, and to a lesser extent (not having to be physically getting down on my knees, that is) in 1990, realizing that I actually rooted for Ultimate Warrior when he issued the "Ultimate Challenge" to Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania VI. (And if that prayer happened to sound familiar to you, please take the time to congratulate yourself for being such a wrestling geek.) Why yes, I was a wimpy kid. Back to the topic, after 16 glorious years in the Premier League and finishing at the runner-up position not once but twice, the much beloved Newcastle United crash and burn out in equally glorious fashion, under arguably their greatest hero ever, Alan Shearer's helm. Nonetheless, I salute and thanked Alan for this noble act taking helm with eight games left and the club that, I dare say, entertained soccer fans everywhere much more so than the so-called great and of course, rich clubs, with their attacking play, which is probably a point of ridicule at this times and age. And to the guys at Lock Stock & Barrel Pub, rest assured the mighty Toons will be back. With a vengeance.

NIN Live In Singapore

Got too excited when I saw this poster and took the pic almost immediately... After the Slayer concert back in 2007, now we get to have Mr. Nine Inch Nail, Trent Reznor himself doing his retirement impression here as well... Check out the real deal...

What A Basterd

The tagline on the poster could have been just what the tabloids had been telling you(in their pseudo semi-hypnotic way), but then again, it is not Brad Pitt that made Inglourious Basterds one of the can't miss flick of this pathetic movie year.

The (Red) Devil Made Me Do It

An Arsenal fan in football-mad Kenya hung himself following his team's 4-1 aggregate drubbing by arch-rivals Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final, police said Wednesday. Suleiman Alphonso Omondi, a 29-year-old Kenyan living in the capital Nairobi's Embakasi neighbourhood, hung himself in his Arsenal shirt late Tuesday after the match, police said. "We were watching the match at Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal was defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest and he was crying," Calvin Otieno, one of his friends, told AFP. "We didn't know he was going to hang himself until this morning when we received the reports and came here to find his body at the balcony," Otieno said outside the deceased's home. Arsenal slumped to a 3-1 defeat at home in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, capping a disappointing season for the Gunners who were already out of the Premier League title race early in the season.
