Black Dynamite
11 hours ago ago from The Testament of Professor Mortis
"Dyno-mite! Dyno-mite!" This is the little bit of the title character of Black Dynamite 's theme, which plays intermittently throughout the film, that has been stuck in my head since I saw it at the Coolidge at midnight Friday night with Stalwart Dan. Black Dynamite is a reasonably dead-pan parody/tribute to Blaxploitation films that is currently in limited release. Whether it was The Mack who tipped me off to this, or the BMMB, I can no ...

This film was Taylor's first time directing a short that he wrote and I am very excited for the outcome. This is also my first time shooting a period piece set in the ...

The first was Bend It Like Beckham Gurinder Chadha's charmingly pop market take on the FullMonty/Rocky/Breaking Away ethos.

11 hours ago ago from Cinematical
There is no shortage of sex in the movies, but sometimes it does feel like there is a shortage of sexy. Over at Entertainment Weekly they have compiled the list of what they claim are the 25 sexiest movies of All-Time , and while I agree with most of their picks, I do think in a few cases they have managed to confuse love with sex (but haven't we all?). The list covers everything from full on sex flicks like 9 1/2 Weeks to more subtle fare ...
