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.

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.
