Mickey Rourke made it :) !!!

sau mai degraba makes it ! Micksterul, acest wrestler al Hollywoodului, in curind din nou baddie pe ecrane ca regele Hyperion in Immmortals al lui Trasem, a devenit immortal pe Hollywood Boulevard ! Pe 31 octombrie la Grauman Chinese Theater (faimosul cinema de premiera hollywoodian, unde din 1928 incepind s-a creat aceasta traditie), isi va pune miinile in/pe ciment, devenind cea de-a 254 stea de la Grauman, in cadrul unei ceremonii care va fi transmisa live online (ora 11 a.m. la ei) via streaming video la http://www.chinesetheatres.com.

Yep !

Town Creek (2009)

...Restante

known today as Blood Creek...filmul pe care l-a facut Joel Schumacher in Romania in 2007 (la Buftea, in studiourile Media pro) si nimeni nu se poate prinde ca e filmat aici..asta da rara avis ! Un gem-low-budget B horror movie produs de Gold Circle, dar poor distribution and marketing by Lionsgate (scos in SUA in 25 de salia in 2009) au ingropat filmul, care va deveni Cult in anii ce vor urma. Doar Henry Cavill e noul Tezeu si Superman...iar Dominic Purcell e...retardatul din remakeul inutil la Straw Dogs...
deci ideea e: Michael Fassbender a fost in Romania, si a jucat un nazist, avant Inglorious Basterds...
Filmul e foarte atmosferic, iar atmosfera e foarte creppy, strinsa, oa5recum claustrofoba, totul se intimpla la o casa, in pustietate, (Morgan County, West Virginia), cu elemente de TCM (Texas Chainsaw...), Night of the Living Dead si Evil Dead-excelenta scenografie de Cristian Niculescu-, si are legatura cu un vechi experiment nazist ocult (acelasi ca premiza in The Keep, Hellboy si Captain America), si care are legatura cu runele vikingilor ! Mai ales prologul din 1936 e intriguing, ca si finalul ! Are si ceva intre Near Dark ca atmosfera si The Keep ! Si am rasuflat usurat ca nu e nici cu vampiri si nici cu vircolaci ! Wirth aduce mai degraba a cenobitul din Hellraiser !
Florin Piersic Jr. si Ana Popescu sunt de nerecunoscut sub machiaj ca doi drogati (Meth Freaks) !!!

Ian McShane despre Johnny Depp, Zappa, Timothy Carrey

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:
When I spoke to Johnny Depp earlier this year he said that, while making On Stranger Tides, the pair of you bonded over a shared love of Captain Beefheart.
IAN McSHANE:

Yeah. Johnny’s got quite quirky, eclectic musical tastes and so do I. I’m a huge fan of [Frank] Zappa and Beefheart. Johnny’s very versed in that time. We were talking about a very brilliant but erratic American actor called Timothy Carey. He was in Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing but he was clearly off his trolley. And he made this film, The World’s Greatest Sinner. I’d never seen it. Johnny said,”I’ve got to get you this movie.” And he sent it to me. It’s a wacko film. And who did the music for it? Frank Zappa. I just started his biography again, Zappa. I was reading it and it was one of those funny things that came out of nowhere. He wrote the music for The World’s Greatest Sinner.

Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)

Brad Anderson e un regizor foarte versatil, a inceput cu filme romantice dar a devenit cunoscut in genul horror/thriller (Session 9, Masinistul (am postat cronica mea de la premiera aici), Transsiberian), dar lucreaza si in seriale (de la The Shield, la The Wire, Treme si Boardwalk Empire) si serii/antologii horror (un episod din Masters of Horror, anume Sounds Like-2006 si unul in Fear Itself-anume Spooked-2008). Dar acest proiect, cu titlu insipid, Vanishing on 7th Street (de la Cehov by Malle, Vanya on 42d Street la Across the 110th Street), e un mix intre The Mist si un episod Twilight Zone/Outer Limits, ca un mediu-metraj at best, labartat la lungimea unui lung metraj, si ca o povestire timpurie de Stephen King. Probabil ca scenariul(Anthony Jaswinski) e de vina, ca nu aduce mult peste premiza si misterul initial.
Poate si castingul e de vina, pentru ca nici unul din cei trei actori nu m-a convins. Hayden Christiansen e skleepwalking, Thandie Newton e patetica si John Leguizamo isteric si mumbling, si daca nu-ti pasa de personaje, atunci cum poti sa empatizezi sa vezi cine cind va disparea si cine va supravietui ?
pericolul e nenumit, nedefinit, SPOILER: e chiar Intunericul !
efectele de intunecime sunt chul, sound designul creepy, dar nu e suficient.
*The score is composed by Spanish song writer and composer Lucas Vidal and is his first theatrical feature film soundtrack
"

Anderson has made a zombie movie without the zombies."

"If you're doing an apocalyptic movie, Detroit's the place to go."(

-asteptam Jack, All Lost Souls si Concrete Island, reuniunea lui Anderson cu Christian Bale, dupa Machinista, adaptarea unui roman considerat nefilmabil de J.G. Ballard !
