My coworker Charlie pointed me at this wonderful chronological compilation of Ray Harryhausen animated creatures on YouTube. If you’re into old school special effects, you won’t be disappointed at the dizzying amount of work on display here.

Hells yeah! The teaser trailers for “Hot Fuzz” are online!

As a Simon Pegg/Nick Frost/Edgar Wright fan I honestly cannot wait for this film to come out. Does anyone have any idea when it’ll be released in The States?

P.S. Keep an eye peeled for the “Shaun of the Dead” hat tip towards the end — those of you in the know (My we’re condescending, aren’t we?) ought to get a kick out of it… ;)

I don’t care if the French booed it at Cannes — I’m really looking forward to Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. The 75% Rotten Tomatoes seems to be pretty positive, although I’m sure that’ll fluctuate a bit as more critics weigh in on it. I’ve never really cared much about what critics have had to say tho. *shrug*

I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while now, but I told Sarah that I’d wait so we could see it together. While the scores on Metacritic seem to be a bit mixed, it still looked like the sort of movie I’d actually enjoy.

And I really don’t care what most reviews say anyhow. Despite being a bit of a critic myself, I know that most people’s tastes are subjective. Anyhow, I finally gave in and managed to score a copy from a couple of peers — if you know what I mean — that the girl and I managed to watch over the weekend.

And you know what? I’m pretty damn happy that I finally got around to seeing it. It really was a pretty good but slightly flawed psychological thriller.

P.S. For those of you who don’t want to deal with the pixelated YouTube video up above, there are higher quality versions of the trailer on Apple’s site.
