Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog. |

Then it might look a little something like this surprisingly elaborate production cooked up by the Russian group Bolshaya Raznitsa, which according to Neatorama (where I got this clip) translates as “Big Difference.”

In honor of today, November 5 — better known as Guy Fawkes’ Day in England — here’s a clip from V FOR VENDETTA.

I posted this clip over at my own, non-work related pop culture blog, so I apologize if you’ve seen it before, but I wanted to post it here at the Movie Man too, because it’s just a great mix of fun nostalgia, wild animation, wonderful music and a strange sense of oddness that makes it just right for Halloween.
Plus, where else do you get to see Cab Calloway as a ghostly, moonwalking walrus?

Here, via Cinematical, is a clip of Kevin Spacey showing his surprising talent for impressions. He’s well known for nailing a dead-on Christopher Walken, but he also does a pretty solid Jimmy Stewart, a so-so Johnny Carson and a great Marlon Brando. Too bad he didn’t do his William Hurt here — he’s one of the only guys I’ve ever seen imitate Hurt, and he’s dead solid perfect.

Spacey’s new movie, THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, opens next week.

From the Register Star’s own Chris Soprych, here’s a great mash-up (as the kids say) of that balloon video from last week and a certain Tom Cruise movie that features the song “Danger Zone.” Enjoy!

Today seems like the sort of day that could use a little Marx Brothers. So here’s a classic classroom scene from HORSE FEATHERS…
“According to Von Steinmetz, the eminent physiologist, there is ever present a group of white thagacytes…”

Amid all the hubbub about what happened between director Wes Anderson and his crew, a new trailer for his animated movie has been released, and to no one’s surprise, it looks great. This version showcases more of Anderson’s personality, which seems to be coming across loud and clear even though the actors are animated.

From Jeffrey Well’s Hollywood Elsewhere blog, here’s a brand-new interview with director Wes Anderson discussing his film, THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX. Among the topics covered — Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, King Kong, noise from boats, and, of course, those reported troubles on the set  …
“Movies are hard to make,” Anderson says, “and sometimes, you know, you’re making people do things that are the last thing they want to do and the last way they want to do it.”

It takes place in the daytime, there’s no violence and no one gets hurt. So why is this scene from David Lynch’s MULHOLLAND DR. one of the scariest scenes ever filmed? You tell me…

If you enjoyed the glimpses of the Nazi propaganda film NATION’S PRIDE seen in Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, here’s a short behind-the-scenes film featuring comments from director Alois von Eichberg , star Frederick Zoller and even Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels himself.
The world premiere of NATION’S PRIDE will be held at La Gamarr theater in Paris. I’ll bet a star-studded crowd turns out for that event. Hope nothing goes wrong.
Aw, heck. Who am I kidding? What could possibly go wrong?
Thanks for Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule for the link to this clip.
