trailer break: Danny Boyle’s ‘Frankenstein’ at London’s National Theatre
It’s theater, but it’s cinema, too…
Month: February 2011
question of the day: Will you watch the Oscars on Sunday?
For me, this year, the question is not a no-brainer, the way it has been in the past. Given the time difference, now that I’m in London, the Oscars won’t even begin for me until 1:30am. I’m not sure I’ll be up to an all-nighter…
watch it: “kitty and rat playing together super funny!”
Would be funnier if the unfortunate soundtrack were replaced with, like, some Benny Hill music, maybe…
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: every version of the theme music, 1963-2010, all in one video
This just makes me smile over and over again. Cuz I can’t hear that music without thinking, I get to watch ‘Doctor Who’!
Drive Angry 3D (review)
I’d like to call Drive Angry Ghost Rider 2: Ghost Driver, except that a sequel to Cage’s previous awful example of cinematic demonic road rage is, in fact, already in production, for our sins. I might better call it Con Air Goes to Hell, because of the beautiful — and by beautiful, I mean, of course, vile and reprehensible — way it picks up the gauntlet thrown down by that violently misogynist film and slaps that gauntlet right at the viewer. In 3D!
trailer break: ‘Beastly’
Can we expect to have Alex Pettyfer forced on us on a regular basis now? Who decides guys like him are to be transformed into movie stars? Ack.
question of the day: What is your most underappreciated movie of 2010?
With the Oscars about to hit, on Sunday, the 2010 lovefest will be over. But those stings, of the movies you loved that no one else seemed to appreciate, will remain… like with me and my love of Never Let Me Go…
watch it: 1970s McDonald’s commercial
Remember when burgers came with a jingle, and we could all sing for our Big Macs? Those were the days.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Nicholas Courtney — aka Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart — has died
It’s a sad day in Doctor Who fandom: actor Nicholas Courtney, who played the beloved character Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, has died. UNIT commander Lethbridge-Stewart was one of the show’s most iconic characters, and Courtney was the longest-running actor in the show’s history…
watch it: “80s TARDIS console — in motion!”
I shot this at the new Doctor Who Experience, just because I could. It made me feel like I was actually on the TARDIS…
