TRAILER: ROMANCE & CIGARETTES

"I like a woman with a backside as big as the world!" That’s Steve Buscemi talking in John Turturro’s new film, but he might as well be speaking for all of us, or at least Devin and Sir Mix-A-Lot. Last month, while knee deep in Toronto, I called this film ‘almost Kate Winslet porn’ and … Continue reading

TRAILER: TAXEDERMIA

In his remake of Cape Fear, Martin Scorsese had Juliette Lewis figuratively shoot fire from her loins. In Raw, Eddie Murphy talked about it. But only the Hungarians have the genital fortitude to show you a guy actually shooting fire from his dick, and it’s right here in this trailer. Based on the info available … Continue reading

HIGH DEFINITION ROOKER!

I hope that, like me, you look at that picture and think ‘what the fuck is that?’ There’s nothing I like better on a Friday morning than hitting Apple, home of overpriced highfalutin’ tech, only to see some sick, slimy new Slither footage.

SAVE MOVIES!

Do you remember where you first saw the movies you love? I do. A great many of them were projected in the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, MA. It’s a little one-screen theatre, and not the most comfortable joint on Earth. But when I first explored Cambridge in 1990 after leaving a town inhabited only by … Continue reading

REVIEW: HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, A (RUSS’ TAKE)

David Cronenberg is a monster, and I mean that with respect. He’s created as impressive a body of work as any director in cinema.
