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’m beyond excited that one of the best films of 2009 is coming out relatively soon now on home video! I urge anyone that is a fan of the film to hop over onto Twitter and tweet why you think Sam Rockwell should be nominated for Best Actor and be sure to include the hashtag:

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.

This Guillermo del Toro produced sci-fi thriller from filmmaker Vincenzo Natali will screen in competition at the upcoming 42 Sitges Film Festival and count me in as being very excited to see it. I was lucky enough to get one of the promotional books for this film back at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008 which were pulled rather quickly once they realized how many huge spoilers were contained in it (well I probably have 3 or 4 books actually). The character designs and attention to detail was staggering and it seemed like this film was a real labor of love that could be something special. I have no idea how this film will turn out, the images like this one look outstanding and I covered my ears from those that saw a working print while at screenings in Cannes this year.
