You know what?
I may have shared this before.
But you know what … I have had an incredibly long day so I’m just going to share it again. This is from the 1960 film, The Vampire and the Ballerina.
Enjoy!
And, just because I love you, here’s an extra bonus dance scene from Lucio Fulci’s 1984 film Murderrock!
(From 1976’s Heart of Glass, directed by Werner Herzog)
Ithaca is the directorial debut of Meg Ryan, who apparently used to be an actress of some sort. Ha ha, I’m just kidding! I know how Meg Ryan was, though it’s easy to forget at times…
Anyway, this appears to be a Tom-Hanks-Wears-Suspenders type of movie. The whole trailer has Oscar wannabe written all over it but the film is being released in September. September is technically Oscar season but not at much as November or December.
Anyway, here’s the trailer! Enjoy it, Middle America!
(From 2015’s A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting on Existence)
Remember Masterminds? It’s the comedy film from Jared Hess that nobody was really that interested in seeing when it was scheduled to be released in 2015. Of course, as a result of a production company going bankrupt and some other legal stuff, Masterminds wasn’t released in 2015 and nobody really noticed.
Well, apparently, the film is finally going to be released this September! You may want to see it or you may not. Myself, I’ll just keep hoping that someone will finally get around to doing a sequel to that movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Danny McBride.
Here’s the latest trailer.

Oh my God, I just watched the trailer for The Great Wall and it looks like it might actually be a lot of fun! Monsters are threatening to destroy the Great Wall of China but don’t worry! Matt Damon’s there and he has a bow and arrow! Add to that, the film is directed by the great Zhang Yimou and it was written by Max Brooks, the man who wrote World War Z!
Seriously, this looks like a lot of fun to me.
The Great Wall will hit theaters on February 17th, 2017.
(From 1985’s Brazil)
The upcoming film, Hacksaw Ridge, tells the story of Desmond Doss. Doss was an army medic who, during World War II, refused to carry a weapon because of his religious beliefs. Considering that we currently live in warlike times and even so-called liberals are currently making excuses for all sorts of war mongering, Hacksaw Ridge seems like it could have the potential to be an important film. It’s due to be release at the height of awards season.
Add to that, it stars Andrew Garfield, who is one of those actors who seems to be destined for an Oscar nomination at some point in his life. (He might get one this year for his role in Martin Scorsese’s Silence.) Vince Vaughn, a good actor who could really use a good role at this point in his career, is also in this film.
However, the film is also directed by Mel Gibson and that’s the big question mark, isn’t it? He’s not a bad director and this seems like his type of subject matter but he’s still Mel Gibson. Will the same film industry that embraced convicted child molester Victor Salva continue to view Mel Gibson as being a pariah?
We’ll get a chance to see if Hacksaw Ridge lives up to its Oscar contender potential on November 24th!
Here’s the trailer!
