From Left to Right:
Karen Black, Robert Ryan, Joe Don Baker and Robert Duvall in John Flynn’s (Rolling Thunder), The Outfit.

In Point Blank we had Lee Marvin play the character of Parker based in Donald E. Westlake’s Parker series under the pseudonym Richard Stark (more info). In John Flynn’s, The Outfit Robert Duvall takes over the character of Parker in one of cinemas underrated crime classics.

Seemed surprising that I had not posted any images from this film at this site. Here now we have the inaugural first image I’m posting here from George Miller’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in the form of this rare Japanese poster artwork for it. This is easily one of my favorite all time films and posters!

I’ve been trying to track down the Japanese poster for quite some time now and it wasn’t until the last several months that I was finally able to.

I like it when minimal poster artwork packs this much energy into it.

Although this is a cool poster, I do feel the need to cater to the Tadanobu Asano fans of the world as often as possible.

Can’t remember when I originally came across this poster artwork, but it has been one of my favorites done for a Godzilla film! What do you think?

Banlieue 13 was certainly a fu and stylish action film out of France that greatly showcased a hyper aesthetic and turned Parkour athletics into rousing action pieces. The latest from its director Pierre Morel is “Liam Neeson Kicks Major Ass” aka the action/thriller Taken (watch trailer), which opens in the US in September.

You might have already read Udine highlights Japanese viewpoint by Mark Schilling at Variety Asia, where he mentions this years selection of Japanese films at the Udine Far East Film Festival. Seems interesting they have in a lot of ways come full circle with having Hideo Nakata back this year, from previously showcasing his Ring trilogy to his latest effort focusing on the character L. Advanced word I’m hearing on this film is incredibly lackluster. So it seems like his recent effort and overly empty Kaidan, that he is in a bit of a funk.

I believe technically it’s the 11th year for Udine this time around, though officially they have it as their 10 year event spectacular and are throwing out all the stops for a grand celebration. I certainly will miss not attending it this year, especially not getting to see its strong showing of Japanese films.

Custom Made 10.30 is a film that for whatever reason has yet to make its way onto DVD with English subtitles. Hopefully at some point someone will release this Aniki film. I loved the trailer for the film and if anyone out there has seen it, definitely drop a comment on your thoughts on the film. I might break down someday and just buy the Japanese DVD minus English subs.

Aniki was one of the directors on Funky Forest.

Who knew bowling could look so Viking and sexy at the same time!?! Great Japanese poster artwork that perfectly captures the spirit of this wonderful Coen Brothers cult classic.
