“This town needs an enema!” – Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman If you’re a film geek it’s sometimes tough to sit and watch the machine of moviemaking in Hollywood burp out one lousy film after another. It’s not that we want to complain, but it just begins to slowly disturb you and bring up bad feelings. If you’re on Twitter you may rant and rave, make [read...] 
Welcome to the second installment of CineFusion Weekly, our column where we highlight interesting stuff from our little website universe, past and present. Open a cold one, put your feet up, unplug the phone and discover some furious cinema with us. MAD AS HELL MOVIE MUSIC: Strawberry Alarm Clock – Girl From the City (from the film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) FROM THE TARANTINO ARCHIVES: Seb takes a [read...] 
While watching one of my all time favorite films this past week, Robert Zemeckis’ 1980 screwball classic auto-comedy USED CARS I discovered a connection. It wasn’t with another film that has a similar theme but something else I’ve been thinking alot about, specifically what’s currently going on in the movie industry regarding all the 3D and higher frame rate speed hucksterism. It seems that these various gimmicks (for lack of [read...] 
There’s an inherent irony in film censorship: if some films are so abhorrent and individuals guaranteed to be damaged by watching them that they require censorship or prohibition on their exhibition / dissemination, then why aren’t the censors affected? If there were any truth to the ideology behind censorship – especially on moral grounds – then society would need protection from the censors. To overcome the risks associated with exposure [read...] 
I’m not a fan of remakes of classic films as I’ve explained in detail here, but there’s always exceptions and the 1976 Dino DeLaurentiis produced version of King Kong remains one of my favorites. Compared to Peter Jackson’s 2005 critically acclaimed farce, I still think this film is much better. Unlike Jackson’s update, this King Kong was played by a man in suit like the Japanese Godzilla films of the [read...] 
If you read a lot about movies and directors, there is a good chance you have come across the species commonly known as “Costner basher”. Now, to be clear, I love to bash certain people, and it is one of the declared goals of Furious Cinema to do just that (our pinata is Michael Bay). Some people make us furious, mad as hell. At the same time however, we passionately [read...] 
“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s ANOTHER REBOOT!” Superman: That name brings to mind three things right away usually: the colors red and blue…and the letter S. You also have to throw in him being a defender of truth, justice, honor and the American Way. It’s pretty amazing to think it’s been 72 years since he made his debut in Action Comics, that was [read...] 
I’m a film geek. I’ve been watching them on a regular basis since the early 80s. I’m in my mid 30s now and I still love movies. I love going to the theater and watching films at home (which I do more often these days). DVDs and Blu Rays: Those little discs all the film geeks cherish like so many jewels. Wiping them off like a baby’s bottom when they [read...] 
Yes it’s rant time again. This time I will have to mention a filmmaker that this website more than loves. Martin Scorsese. Sorry Marty, but you gave me the idea for this rant. I love the new HBO show Boardwalk Empire that you got off the ground together with Mark Wahlberg (out of all people). I love most of your movies, and admire the rest of them. But when I [read...] A year back, I was traveling back from Chicago to Delhi, on the Air India flight. It was a long flight, close to 14 hrs, and one of the few good things was that Air India’s movies section had a good collection of classic cinema. So I just settled down into my seat and watched Ben Hur, I guess maybe for the umpteenth time around. Right next to me was [read...] |
