What is Television for the most part but serialized cinema? Well…at its worst, a vehicle for shallow capitalism, in that most shows are simply extended commercials. The only reference needed for that is to look back at our experiences with Saturday morning cartoons and the endless figures and childhood ephemera we goaded our weary parents [...]

My Sucky Teen Romance Released Today – Twitter to Win

CAA95B1F-31DD-4478-BE68-5DC0CFA63735

Being a teenager sucks. There are social pressures, you deal with an out of control body and emotional state, occasionally, vampires, and if you’re Emily Hagins, instead of moping in your room and geeking out on Depeche Mode (or whatever whiny alt-crises bands populate the musical landscape as of late), you get filmic. Today marks [...]

The Watch – Aliens or Something

Blah Blah Blah Imminent invasion, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, I don’t care. This looks like a bankable summer comedy that will be calculated to please and be passably hilarious, and while I never tire of comedy, no matter how phoned in or expected, I’m going to watch this film for one simple reason: [...]

Cinema Glob Vs. The Goonies

the-goonies

I’ve been putting this review off. I was once given the sagely advice that when you’re too close to a subject it’s impossible to review it imperatively, and being unbiased is the cornerstone of objective journalism. I never pretended to be objective any way. I grew up with the subject at hand, and to remove [...]

Wait for the Blackout!

image001

As of May 4, the lunatics will have taken over the asylum. I repeat, this is not a drill. Stay in your homes and avoid contact with strange people and rock musicians. I repeat, this is not a drill, catch Asylum Blackout on Video On Demand. Stay in your homes. O.K., faux 1950′s emergency broadcast [...]

William Finley, R.I.P.

l_71994_c2b623e4

I just came across this sad bit of news…William Finley, star of the outrageous rock opera Phantom of the Paradise has passed away. I’m not too familiar with his other works…Paradise was like Rocky Horror meets Faust, and is one of my favorites. William Finley truly made the movie and the Phantom is one of [...]

Rotoscoped Evil Dead 2 Trailer = Genius

This makes me mega happy. Big ups to Pretend For Real Studios! Also: whoever re-upped the vid with A-Ha made me shoot Mt. Dew out my nose.

I Would Like, If I May, To Take You On A Strange Journey…

Pretend for a second that there isn’t at least a terrabyte or more of the internet already devoted to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I suspect that anyone who’s come to the site has already seen it multiple times, and they probably know just as much, if not more, about the film as I, your [...]

Razorwire Pictures Show Off Their Second Self

If you aren’t familiar with Razorwire Pictures or their brilliantly demented 2010 film Ironhorse, then leave Cinemaglob immediately, not in shame, but to wrap your mind around your own copy. Ironhorse was Monty Python meets Evil Dead on whip its, an instant classic of mayhem and hyperkinetic visuals done with a razor sharp wit and [...]

Seth McFarlane Introduces A New Friend – TED

Ah, imaginary friends, those cherished playmates who never let you down. Some kids get Drop Dead Fred, I got Balki from Perfect Strangers. Seth McFarlane brings us Ted, a lovably crude teddy bear with a penchant for four letter words and sophomoric wackiness. Let’s hope it tears the stuffing out of the bromance genre…trailer after [...]
