With Avatar (official site) finally out in movie theaters, I thought it was only appropriate to post this great image from this previous James Cameron film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Hard to believe in a year or so it will be the 20th anniversary for this film! I haven’t seen Avatar yet but greatly looking forward to getting out to see it in digital 4K at the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin, Texas.

Caption:

The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), scientist Miles Dyson (Joe Morton) and Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) break into a hi-tech facility in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” a Tri-Star Pictures release from Carolco.

Opening this week in Austin at Drafthouse South Lamar (times)

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.

Nikkatsu Noir Contest from Cinema is Dope – Enter Today
***

I know longer see Xavier Gens named attached in any capacity for producing this French zombie horror meets Die Hard, but he originally was the person that got me all excited about this film last year. This co-directed effort byYannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher is one of the top films I cannot wait to see at the 42nd Sitges Film Festival. The imagery and all the promo reels I’ve seen (most recently the updated one at Cannes) have been thrilling. The word from FrightFest was lukewarm with many citing it as a very intense film that had some jaw dropping moments and to others it felt way too loud.

Synopsis:
On the outskirts of Paris, four corrupt cops go on a rampage to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, holed up in a condemned building. Once there, the officers’ personal vendetta turns into a nightmare. Trapped, they are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Running to the roof, the survivors discover that their entire world is in chaos. The streets are filled with massive heaps of countless cadavers and the entire city is in flames. Alone and wounded, despite their mutual hatred, the gangsters and cops have no choice but join forces if they want to survive. They’ll have to make it down thirteen floors full of voracious creatures but the greatest threat lies elsewhere…
