A maybe new poster for THE RUNAWAYS

Frantic Monkey — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:35:27 +0000

This may be new, although I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this image before, but here’s another poster for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning’s upcoming rock biopic The Runaways.

New (and best) TOY STORY 3 poster

Frantic Monkey — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:32:08 +0000

Wow. A long time between posts for me and I apologise to anyone who happens to visit my humble little blog. My legal training is taking up all my time, and between that, working, sleeping, eating and shiting, I don’t have any time to do anything else. Therefore my blog suffers.

Anyway, I found some time and also noticed that Pixar has released a new poster for the upcoming Toy Story 3, and this one blows all the others away. Enjoy.

The international trailer for WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is better

Frantic Monkey — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:42:11 +0000

Well this is a little more like it. The first trailer for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps had far too much Shia and not enough Gecko. This international trailer fixes that to a good degree plus we get to see Carey Mulligan too. I’m still not completely sold on the film, but Michael Douglas and Josh Brolin are enough to convince me to give it a shot.

The Rolling Stones also make a rather prominent appearance on the soundtrack. That must have bumped up the production cost at least a few million dollars.

An awesome trailer for WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE

Frantic Monkey — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:33:44 +0000

OMG, this looks insanely fantastic. I’m a huge fan of The Doors so a documentary covering from the time of their formation to Morrison’s death and narrated by Johnny Depp is probably gonna end up being one of my all time favourite documentaries.

I hope and pray I get a chance to see this VERY soon.

New poster for THE KILLER INSIDE ME

Frantic Monkey — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:14:10 +0000

I saw the extended video/trailer for The Killer Inside Me a while back and it was certainly unsettling, but I have such faith in Casey Affleck that I really think it could be good, and even though it got very mixed reactions at Sundance it still intrigues me.

I can’t find any concrete info on a release date other than a couple of film festivals, but hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it fairly soon.

Top 100 Films of the Decade: 50-1

Frantic Monkey — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:54:19 +0000

Due to my supreme laziness I’ve only managed to go through 50 of my top 100 films of the last decade. In an effort to put this behind me and still let anyone who’s interested know what my favourite films of the last 10 years are, I’ve decided to just list the remainder here without any kind of explanation.

Trailer for MARS

Frantic Monkey — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:32:50 +0000

I don’t know what to say about Mars other than it looks like a cool quirky indie flick. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see this at some point.

Best of the Week: 7th-13th Feb (Twitter style)

Frantic Monkey — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:15:20 +0000

A weekly post with the purpose of highlighting the shows I watched during the week and how I ranked them. It’s not intended as a list of all shows on the air, only those that I actually watched during the week. Watching something on Monday that aired on Friday won’t make the cut.

Like everything on this site it’s for my own enjoyment but feel free to comment.

Once again my study commitments have raised their ugly head and I just haven’t had the time to post anything. I’m still getting in some TV watching but even that has shrunk a little with the workload. I’m gonna do my Best of the Week in a Twitter style 160 character format this week in an effort to get something posted and to save just a little time.

1. Archer “Skorpio” (1×06) – Either Carol or Lana naked or in lingerie for the entire episode. The best story and some of the funniest lines yet. Best episode so far. 9.5/10

2. 30 Rock “Anna Howard Shaw Day” (4×13) – Five cool cameos. Horatio Sanz, Dean Winters, Jon Hamm, Jason Sudeikis, and Jon Bon Jovi. Liz tripping balls was awesome too. 7.5/10

3. Survivor “Slay Everyone, Trust No One” (20×01) – Steph is back. That alone makes the return of Survivor kick ass. But add in Russell, Amanda, Tom, Courtney, Rupert, Colby & Jerri too. WOW!! 7.5/10

4. Community “Communication Studies” (1×16) – The Breakfast Club montage alone made this ep superb, but Senior Chang dancing like Michael Jackson sustained the greatness. 7/10

5. Lost “What Kate Does” (6×03) – I hate to put it this low but Kate episodes are always so dull. The few revelations in this ep didn’t make up for it’s mediocrity. 5.5/10

6. How I Met Your Mother “Rabbit or Duck” (5×15) – Why is HIMYM so average this season? Maybe if they actually introduced the “mother” it would inject some life into the show. 5/10

7. The Mentalist “Blood In, Blood Out” (2×14) – Cho’s a former gang member. That’s the biggest leap this show’s asked of me, and that’s saying something. None of these CBI guys are tough. 4.5/10

Previously on LOST – for my friend Peter

Frantic Monkey — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:23:04 +0000

I just stumbled across this the other day and thought that it’d be perfect for my friend Peter who’s only seen a couple of episodes from the 1st season of Lost. This gives him all the basic info needed so he can jump right in for the final season. I don’t suggest he does this though.

Peter, if you’re reading this, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND WATCH LOST FROM THE BEGINNING.

The super f’ing cool trailer for THE LOSERS

Frantic Monkey — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:44:56 +0000

God damn it, I can’t believe I’m late on poster a trailer as awesome as this one for The Losers.

Everyone and everything about this film looks crazy cool. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana were enough to make me see this, but add in some impressive looking performances from Chris Evans and Jason Patric and it looks all the better.

The film’s due for release on 9th April in the US. No word on when I can expect it here in Oz.
