Great Horror Performances: Simon Pegg in SHAUN OF THE DEAD
by Michael Pomaro
Anyone who has known me for more than 10 minutes knows that Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies. No matter how many times I watch it, and I watch it a lot, I discover new things to love about it. My wife and I caught it on cable a few weeks ago, so naturally we left it on. It was on this viewing that Simon Pegg’s performance stuck out to me in ways it never has before and it left me wondering why.

I guess we can all stop hoping that Edgar Wright will finally make a musical. Turns out, he did!

10 Directors Who Need to Work More
Here are 10 filmmakers whose work is great, but who (for one reason
or another) don't release films as often as many of their
contemporaries. Let's hope this little has the power to change all that.

Like You Were There: Adam Riske at the Edgar Wright Double Feature
On Friday, August 2nd, Mike Pomaro and I went to see a double feature of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz at the glorious Music Box Theatre in Chicago. Edgar Wright was in attendance to introduce the movies and he brought Simon Pegg and Nick Frost along for an extremely funny Q&A. Care to relive the evening with us?

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (May 10)
Anyone notice the new "look" of the MPAA's rating screens before movie previews? They're weird, right? I mean, maybe they're not -- maybe I'm just opposed to change. But they seem fake -- like a fan trailer for an existing movie, or a trailer for a really bad student film by the guy in film school who isn't going anywhere ... but HE THINKS he's going places, and just to prove it, he's "approximated" the old green screen from a distant, drunk memory. I could be wrong about this whole thing (and I see they've embraced the 2008 branding of Barack Obama by selecting the now-eponymous Gotham font, so that's a good start?). Again, I could be wrong.

F This Movie! - Erich's Favorite Movies
The Favorite Movies series continues as Patrick is joined by Erich Asperschlager for a discussion of his favorites. The whole thing is pretty introspective and bittersweet and scored by '60s acoustic rock. It's just Erich's thing, man.
