Cinema is Dope » Alamo Drafthouse

I saw The Road twice at the 42 Sitges Film Festival and liked it better with each viewing. I still don’t know how close the current cut most matches the directors preferred cut of John Hillcoat (The Proposition) but suffice it to say that this theatrical cut isn’t it, yet still delivers. It will be interesting to see how Cormac McCarthy fans (No Country for Old Men) respond to this film version of their novel. I should note some of the images contained show scenes not in the theatrical cut of the film and Charlize Theron is barely in it.

Jess Saes: God is alive and well and living in a sugar cube

Bruce Dern is The Seeker in Psych-Out. Although I believe Mr. Dern had a very tight shoot and brief stint, what is there is a memorable racing, clawing and offbeat performance.

For the most part this contemplative image today wraps up my collection of stills from Psych-Out (I have three more tucked away in my archives somewhere that I will eventually find again). I won’t rule out coming across my stills in the future. I hope you have enjoyed all the restored stills posted so far and thanks for following along! For fans of this film be sure and pick up Gary Kent’s new book, Shadows and Light, Journeys With Outlaws In Revolutionary Hollywood (details).

Reminder this is my video pick of the month for July (read the write up Lars did on Psych-Out here).
