TOP STORY:

Christopher Campbell

Christopher Campbell fluctuates between the inclinations to be a pretentious film snob and a fanboy defending blockbuster fluff. He dislikes press screenings because they don't serve popcorn, and he dislikes regular movie theaters because they don't serve GOOD popcorn. He holds a B.A. in film studies from Brooklyn College, which he acquired more than a decade late, having spent his 20's as a film school drop out thumbing his nose at academia. A year prior to going back to school, though, he quit his job in film exhibition (read: popcorn stand manager at a multiplex), moved from Connecticut to NYC and began reviewing and blogging for Cinematical. Other publications he's written for, prior and since, include The Reeler, Where Y'At New Orleans? and READ Magazine. His dream is to one day open a Drafthouse-type cinema in Brooklyn and simply enjoy watching and sharing movies for the rest of his life.

The last line of the new Toy Story 3 trailer speaks to my usual fear with sequels. “Return of the Astro-Nut,” says Hamm the piggy bank, referring to the fact that the pompous, delusional Buzz Lightyear of the beginning of the first movie is back in a kind of amnesia-induced excuse for recycled plot and [...]

Lars Von Trier Returns to Sci-Fi. Today in Film Bloggery 10/09/09

posted 4 weeks ago

After years of gut-wrenching “Golden Heart” films, chalk-outline experiments about “America,” a co-founded movement for pure cinema and other infamous works including his most recent, the explicit horror film Antichrist, it’s easy to forget that Lars von Trier started his feature film career in the science fiction genre. Of course, he being who he is, [...]
