Netflix moving to cable? Shaking hands, high-fiving? I’ve always thought of Netflix streaming as the antidote  to cable, and now they may get cozy? Reality is melting! Someone hold me. Pass the blanket.

I didn’t know that Topher Grace was anything outside of Venom from Spider-Man 3. That’s literally  the only place I know him from. So when /Film mentioned yesterday that not only was he a huge movie buff but that he also had edited the Star Wars  prequels into one 85-minute movie, I was shocked. Then I just felt bad for the guy.

Max Landis penned the found-footage superhero flick Chronicle  in something like nine hours. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But it did it with the quickness and it was pretty hot. Now he’s being given a chance to answer the bell and pen the sequel.

Yo, yo, yo. Here’s another picture from Prometheus, with some speculation on what (double rainbow!) it could all mean in relation to the space jockey goodness.

One of the screeners they sent out to press prior to last year’s Fantastic Fest was the Canadian sci fi thriller The Corridor. I loved the hell out of it but never got around to writing about it because I’m only one man and I saw a lot of movies the month of the festival. Get off my back. This month the film is being released by IFC, so I figured I’d show it some proper OL love.

The debut feature from Canucks Evan Kelly and Josh MacDonald, The Corridor is a smart and wholly original trip into sci fi paranoid madness. Recovering from a psychotic breakdown after the death of his mother, Tyler Crawley heads to a remote cabin in the woods of Nova Scotia. As everyone knows, cabins in woods always lead to some sick shit. When Tyler suffered his homicidal burst of madness, he sort of tried to murder his friends – slashing one n the face and stabbing another through the hand. So what better way to make amends than with a little getaway in the woods?

Josh Trank was the director behind the found-footage white-washed Akira  flick Chronicle. (Calm down, I’m almost joking.) Now he’s in talks to lead the Amazing Spider-Man  spin-off flick starring Venom.

First things first: a self-indulgent, rambling preface.

I love movies, especially good, solid movies that work cohesively. I watch movies a lot, hoping that they will all accomplish what they set out to do (or, rather, what I think each is trying to do). Of course, every movie cannot be all-time success, because for there to be a good, there has to be a bad, and vice versa; it’s just how it works out. But when I see a solid movie, I take particular pleasure in not just how it works overall–in a well-made, impressive fashion–but how each part adds up to its collective impressive functionality. And when you watch movies a lot, you tend to become more aware of how specific moments, scenes, even sequences function within the stories being told. Ostensibly, these moments are all included in the final work for a reason–and I don’t think that it’s a stretch to say that the inclusions were made in an attempt to better it in an overall way, be they by simple character clarifications or complex expansions of the story’s universe.

Things that make me babble incoherently: caffeine, Diablo III news, Kristen Bell. A perma-crush of mine, she has been cast in the Disney adaptation of Snow Queen called Frozen. Cyeah.
