Hot Fuzz – The guys from Shaun of The Dead attack the buddy cop gene with what looks like similar skill.
See the Hot Fuzz trailer below


March 22
Into Great Silence- JD got to see this for Filmink a little while ago and loved it. Certainly not for everyone, this is a contemplative mediatation on true self discipline and the beauty of simplicity in life.
Here is just a taste of the tranquil serenity to behold.


March 29
Bubble
Running With Scissors

Here is the trailer for Running With Scissors. The script is what attracts me to this.....the last line of this clip is what draws me towards it.

Thanks David, will try and get by your site soon...been flatchat at the moment and your musings make me smile.

Hi Cib,
I didnt have much time last night so i wanted to find some good clips and Fraggle rock and Delirious were right on the money.

Ive watched that Fraggle Rock one a few times myself. Fond memories...

Moonlighting. Fantastic first two series. I distinctly remember that special episode where whatsherface does the encounter session with Maddy and David ... and then all those bloopers during the end credits. That was a gold episode!
Hot Fuzz looks like huge fun.
Running with Scissors looks great too, despite having Gwyneth in it ...

Hi Byrn,

I hope Running with Scissors is good despite the cast. We try not to say the "G" word here.

Totally with you on the first two seasons of Moonlighting, I would even go the third with Atomic Shakespeare.



Do you like the look of The Host, friends of mine who have seen it are raving.

6. March 4th 2007 @ 01:12. Bryn Says:
didn't see that one before ...
Hmmmm ..... looks incredibily overwrought like only the japanese can do ... looks mighty dodgy, yet super slick too ... not sure what to make of it ... could be great, could be shite ... the trailer ddin't do much for me to be honest ....
7. March 4th 2007 @ 01:37. JohnDoe Says:
Yeah that trailer was teh original japanese one aimed ofcourse at that market....I should put up teh UK trailer which is more enticing.
8. March 4th 2007 @ 01:39. Bryn Says:
Always put up the more enticing one dude! .... I did that with Opera, used the American Terror at the Opera one rather than the hotch-potch Euro one ...
9. March 4th 2007 @ 02:02. JohnDoe Says:
I have a soft spot for original trailers in native language...gives you a good idea what they look for in the local market....quite selfish of me really because the US or Uk make the ones that usually get me excited.
