Full SPEED Ahead!!
Thursday, March 13th, 2008After the Wachowski Siblings released the first trailers for their upcoming live action version of the seventies cartoon classic SPEED RACER, many movie fanboys spent far too many hours bashing the kaleidescopic visuals.

Renegade Television
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008One of the most perfect things ever broadcast over the waves of television was the first season of Wonder Showzen by the art/media collective known as PFFR. It didn’t last long thanks to the non-stop references to abortion, Hitler, and puppet sex.

The Lost Whisper
Friday, December 14th, 2007Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation was a thoughtful but mostly inert meditation on romance and aging, which makes it head and shoulders above anything her father has done in 25 years. However, the film held sway over audiences thanks to Bill Murray’s complex performance, and a romantic little whisper at the very end of the film. [...]

Do It Yourself Filmmaking
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007Hollywood continues to make worthless, creatively-bankrupt shit-flicks that rob audiences of intelligence, self-worth, and the will to live. Billions of dollars - money that could be used to change our world for the better - go inexplicably instead to finance cold, bloody cumstains like Norbit and Wild Hogs. Thinking people everywhere might be right to [...]

But with Zodiac, director David Fincher showed that effects can seamlessly and invisibly integrate into [...]
