Blood: The Last Vampire *UPDATE*

There is a new trailer on the net for my favorite upcoming vampire-slaying anime adaptation 'Blood: The Last Vampire'. This UK Trailer gives us more of the action we crave. Can't wait for this one.

2009 Preview

I rarely ever watch the Oscars, I'm not sure why, I have quite a bit of respect for the amount of work that goes into a film, but not in the spectacle surrounding when these people are recognized for their work. The same was true for me this year as I tuned in for probably a total of 10 minutes to see Hugh Jackman sing and dance, and Slumdog Millionaire win a couple of many awards. While surfing the net I ran across a video which, for those of you who stuck it out til the end, gave a glimpse of what to expect from this next year at the movies. BTW 'Terminator Salvation' is at the top of this list for me, next to 'The Road', which tragically is not included here. Here's the vid:

Gentlemen Broncos

I was watching TV today when a preview for the film 'Nacho Libre' came on, which was director Jared Hess' fitting follow up to 'Napoleon Dynamite'. Out of curiosity I looked up the director to see what he's doing these days and I'm excited to report that his next project entitled 'Gentlemen Broncos' looks hilarious. IMDB describes the plot as "Benjamin, home-schooled by his eccentric mother, is a loner whose passion for writing leads him on an journey as his story first gets ripped off by the legendary fantasy novelist, Ronald Chevalier and then is adapted into a disastrous movie by the small town's most prolific homespun filmmaker." Apparently this fantasy writer is being played by the taller half of 'Flight of the Conchords', Jermaine Clement. Sam Rockwell also stars. The movie has a hilarious website set up for Jermaine's author character Ronald Chevalier. This video will help you understand what kind of genius your dealing with here:
