Teeth
Teeth may have been released in 2007 in the US, but Europe didn’t get to see this movie until 2008. And when I say Europe, I mean France and the UK. It had to do without a cinema release in Belgium or the Netherlands. Weirdly enough, the British censors stuck an 18 certificate to the [...]

Movies I missed in 2008: Vinyan
With only 20 hours seperating me from the year 2009, it’s time to make my Best of 2008 lists. Of course no movie list can be complete, for the simple reason noone can see every film made in the course of one year. Apart from those you skipped willingly (Hancock, Disaster Movie, etc.), there’s those [...]

You’re Still Not Fooling Anyone
Welcome back for part two of our epic double bill. After Who Do You Think You’re Fooling was made, it was scheduled to appear at a movie festival. But for some reason it was pulled. Some sources claim Ta****ino was behind this, others say he wasn’t… What’s more important is that an MTV News bulletin [...]

Reservoir on fire
I think it’s pretty well established I don’t like Ta****ino. Mainly because he had the habit of lifting entire plots from lesser known movies without giving the proper credit. I still have to find the first person who knows his alleged epic double bill Kill Bill is an ‘hommage’ to Lady Snowblood because at the [...]

A Matter of Loaf and Death
Wallace and Gromit have opened a new bakery, Top Bun, and business is booming, not least because a deadly Cereal Killer has murdered all the other bakers in town. Gromit is worried that they may be the next victims, but Wallace does not care, as he has fallen head over heels in love with Piella [...]

Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness
And now for something completely different: Chang (Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness, to give it its full title) is a movie by Merian Cooper and Ernest Schoedscack.
Those names may sound a little familiar to your ears: you’ve probably heard of their other movie, King Kong: The Eighth Wonder of the World.
Chang was released in [...]

Moviedrome
As most of you know, my name is a reference to the excellent tv programme Moviedrome, once hosted by director Alex Cox (and later by Mark Cousins). One of the biggest prides of my website is that it includes the definite guide to Moviedrome. At one point I included a couple of mistakes, because people [...]

Stereolab (Nov 12 2008, Brussels)
I went to the Stereolab concert in Brussels earlier this month and oh my, what a ****hole the Botanique is: lots of unfriendly concertgoers and when more than 50 people (constantly) ignore the smoking ban inside the concert hall it can only be a sign that the venue itself doesn’t care… oh, and I didn’t [...]

Bitches in Tokyo
I’ve just worked my way through tons of spam (67 new messages since I last logged in). I must admit… it wears you out. After all that deleting you often lack the energy to write a new post. Nevertheless, “Bitches in Tokyo” is one of my favourite videos of 2008. It’s by the Canadian band [...]

Teenage Monster
Surprise surprise, Teenage Monster is not that awful a movie.
Sure, the teenage monster is laughable: he doesn’t look scary at all (just hairy) and you’re left wondering if Gil Perkins decided to play a monster with a speech impediment or if he’s trying to speak normally and the make-up is making him mumble.
Anyway, the result [...]
