This is one the Japanese trailer of a movie I love: UZUMAKI. One of the many adaptations of Junji Ito's manga. Junji Ito is the author of the TOMIE or GYO series. UZUMAKI is the second movie of Higuchinsky, a Russian director who lives in Japan. The movie isn't as good as the manga but it's definitely worth watching.

OK, everybody saw NAPOLEON DYNAMITE at least 10 times and everybody knows all the good parts by heart. Anyway, this still makes me laugh. That Rex guy was a huge inspiration for PROFESOR FURIA, one of the character of LUCHA LIBRE.

On KUBRIK2001.com, you'll find an interesting explanation of the meaning of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. It's in nine different languages and it'll takes you 20 minutes to watch but it's worth it. Enjoy.

Monte Hellman directed this wonder in 1971. I don't like cars but I have to admit I love movies about cars. TWO LANES BLACKTOP is one of the best. "The Driver and The Mechanic are two car freaks driving a 1955 Chevy throughout the southwestern U.S. looking for other cars to race. They are totally dedicated to The Car and converse with each other only when necessary. At a gas station, The Driver and The Mechanic, along with a girl who has ingratiated herself into their world, meet G.T.O., a middle-aged man who fabricates stories about his exploits. It is decided to have a race to Washington, D.C., where the winner will get the loser's car. Along the way, the race and the highway metaphorically depict the lives of these contestants as they struggle to their destination." (From IMDB) It features Harry Dean Stanton, Warren Oates (my favorite actor ever) and James Taylor. I couldn't find any interesting excerpt on youtube, so here are some pictures.

Some people love Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW UP, others hate it. Whatever you like it or not, you have to love the YARDBIRDS...

Directed in 1974 by Sam Peckinpah, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA is –I think– his best movie. It's as usual very violent, hopeless and with the best actor ever: Warren Oates. Review, posters and images here.
