Carry on Zombie

Who would have thunk it eh!? The "Carry On" movie is back and helmed by a director called Jake West.

Seriously...

The movie in question? Well, it's this one:



It has Danny Dwyer taking the role of the late great Sid James:





Lee Ingleby as the irrepressible Kenneth Williams:





Stephen Graham as Kenneth Connor:






God Almighty! It even has Hattie bloody Jacques...

Paranormal Activity

I really need to see this movie:

The Legend

When passing by the company Lululemon Athletica on my way to work this morning there seemed to be a lot of activity going on, which I had thought was due to perhaps an outdoor party to celebrate another line of their fantastic sports wear: A self replenishing yogurt hat perhaps or a line of sports wear for dwarf athletes?

So anyway, I didn't pay it too much attention and continued into work.

Then at around noon my fellow co-worker Johnny arrived and informed me that I should go up to the roof because someone of major stature was across the way at Lululemon (He didn't actually announce it quite like that, I'm just playing it up for added drama...)

So when I got to the roof, this is what I could see:



Centre stage a lone figure sat as the audience stood around clapping and cheering.

And that person happened to be MUHAMMAD ALI!!!!!


The pic below is probably a better choice(But believe me in 1976 that toy was one of my most prized possessions!)

So yeah...

MUHAMMAD ALI!!!!!!



Apparently he is in town for a screening of the new film Facing Ali at the Vancouver Film Festival.

To be in the man's presence, if only at a distance is still quite a nice way to start the weekend!

Little Shoppe of Horrors

Bruce Timm doing Hammer! What a fantastic combination... like butterflies and blood! The last image is by the equally great Adrian Salmon.

Trick 'r Treat

Michael Dougerty's movie Treat'r Treat is finally being released on Oct the 6th after two years of distribution limbo! I had a viewing of it today and I have to say it is one of the best gene films of its kind and it seems ridiculous that it never received a major theatrical release.

It is brilliantly written, has a great cast and is beautifully shot. The last good anthology movie I watched of this type was back with the Amicus Productions of such movies as Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, Asylum or Tales from the Crypt...seriously it has been that long.

With rubbish like Zombie's Halloween 2 and Saw 37 getting major release, it a real shame that a little gem such as this had to sit for two years while Warner Bros decided what to do with it. However now with it's imminent release on DVD I am sure it's going to be around for quite some time to come and gain the recognition and acclaim it so deserves.

Highly recommended!!
