Thursday, February 18, 2010

I love time travel movies! Back to the Future is one such entry into this genre that I’m fond of. Note that Crispin Glover features prominently and is one of the highlights in the upcoming time travel comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine, which is an insanely wild ride of a time!

Caption:
Time traveler Marty McFly (MICHAEL J. FOX) is a 1985 teenager who meets up with his future parents (LEA THOMPSON, CRISPIN GLOVER) in the year 1955.

I’ve yet to see the uncut version of this and many fellow Rosalba Neri fans cite this Italian Frankenstein effort as the one film that put Neri on the map for them.

This meditative sci-fi film from Japan is one I’m eager to see in 2009. The first three images here are particularly strong and make it look like it could be very compelling and rich sci-fi cinema.

Kim Ok-bin and Song Kang-ho in one of my favorites of 2009, Thirst. I caught the official world premiere at the Grand Theatre Lumiere and it was an amazing experience seeing it with such a passionate audience (ovation afterwards was 20+ minutes) in such a massive movie theater. I just cannot wait to finally experience this latest from Park Chan-wook back home with an Austin audience. You can read my brief interview with Park Chan-wook on Twitch (link).
