I've never been a huge fan of Godard, or the French New Wave in general (I tend to side with French filmmakers like Robert Enrico, who resisted the New Wave dictates), but I can't deny his impact on world cinema.

In the wake of 'Breathless,' New Waves that sprang up across the planet, from Brazil to Czechoslovakia to Japan, owed a major debt to him, as did generations of American directors, including Scorsese, De Palma and Tarantino.

This article refers to upscale cannibal media. My preference is for the down and dirty Italian chomp-fests from the seventies and eighties, which outdo A CERTAIN HUNGER and YELLOWJACKETS in every respect.

This video explains a lot. I've long wondered why Neil Gaiman has been trying so hard to convince us that the race and gender swapping in the SANDMAN series was "how he always wanted it." As it turns out, it doesn't seem like he had much of a choice in the matter.

I always liked Clu. I also think his self-directed short films need more exposure, such as A DAY WITH THE BOYS and FU***NG TULSA (which really needs a streaming/Blu-ray release).

Thus far the SANDMAN series reviews have been VERY mixed. Here's one of the more unenthusiastic write-ups.

Plans for a screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s celebrated DC/Vertigo graphic novel series The Sandman have been around for almost as long as the three-decades-old title itself.

David Lynch's films aren't actually surreal. Weird, yes, but (as Lynch himself has admitted) not surreal.

The surrealist movement has grown since its post-World War I origins, inspiring iconic filmmakers from David Lynch to Alejandro Jodorowsky.

I've been complaining about mumbling actors for seemingly ever. Glad to see that others are finally talking notice.

Ten years ago, Tom Hardy boarded an aeroplane and gurgled his way into blockbuster history. July 2012 introduced cinemagoers to Bane, the Batman villain portrayed by Hardy as a mountain of muscle and incoherence. His big entrance in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises was during a mid-air he...
