Who’s Hollywood’s biggest biker badass?

maggie-q-priest-movie-3

We’ve previously made it clear that we love biker movies (our list of biker gang films, . There’s something unique about them that make them a mix between helicopter movies, western movies and road movies (our list of road movies, our list of more road movies). They’re about freedom, conflict, violence and change. What Easy Rider set in motion is still being felt by the movie industry today. Not every [read...]

Berlinale 2013: The unfinished Dark Blood

River Phoenix in Dark Blood

Twenty years ago, in the fall of 1993, River Phoenix collapsed in front of Johnny Depp‘s club in Hollywood and shortly after passed away. He was 23 years old. At the time, he was filming Dark Blood with still today little-known Dutch director George Sluizer. The project came to a halt and only recently had Sluizer tried to put together what he could in order to show to the public [read...]

The most awesome movies ever made

Out for Justice

Steven Seagal is a badass. Say what you want about his career developments in the recent years, he used to epitomize badassdom, and if you trust the editing work in his movies, his hands disarm baddies quicker than a strike of lightning. Having said that we turn to a very special presentation of “the most awesome movies ever made“, a series of video presentations made in Austria about – well [read...]

Nazis from the Moon: Iron Sky (2012)

ironsky_promo2

Upon finding out that there would be a movie about Nazis from the moon, invading the earth, everyone’s inner geek rejoiced. Could it really be they are making a movie that reads like a video game or 60s comic book about something really hilarious? Could it be they are actually investing in a movie that is actually coming with an original idea? It seemed so. Iron Sky (imdb), directed by [read...]

Furious Filmmaker: Alex de la Iglesia (Berlinale Special)

The Last Circus aka Balada Triste de Trompeta

Many years ago, when I was in my teenage years, we hosted a movie night on a decent big screen. We had a few beers, sat on rancid couches and popped in a DVD from the video store. The movie was Perdita Durango, and I had never seen a movie like that before in my life. From Dusk Till Dawn might be the closest I ever got to seeing a [read...]

Furious retro trailers: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man

“Better to be alive and cool, than dead and uncool.” – Harley Simon Wincer (imdb), director of such Disney flicks as Operation Dumbo and Free Willy, also made Lonesome Dove and the Aussie western Quigley Down Under, to name some of the more popular motion pictures in his portfolio. He also made one of my favorite midnight movies starring Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man [read...]

Furious Genres: Wastelands of the Post-Apocalypse

Book of Eli

A genre very dear to my cineast heart is post-apocalyptic cinema. Among dystopic art in general, this genre lives off its lawlessness, the stylistic palette, and the cinematic potential of the settings it offers. Much like the western, post-apocalyptic cinema is a genre that has its own laws, its own heroes, its own stories and legends, and its own mythical universe. You could say that the two are intrinsically similar. [read...]

Happy 1st Birthday, Furious Cinema!

The Killer

When I started this blog about one year ago, several things plagued my mind. There are plenty of movie news and gossip blogs out there, almost none of them with an actual quality agenda (or “mission”), reporting on anything from indie movies to the latest Disney-made horse-shit. There is a myriad of small genre movie blogs, some doing excellent work, but who would build a portal aggregating some of that [read...]
