First Trailer for RELIGULOUS

Lionsgate may have pushed Bill Maher’s upcoming Religulous out to the fall, but the movie’s first trailer has arrived.

I know Maher will catch heat for his smirky man-on-the-street style (aside from the heat he’ll catch for the film’s subject matter and his athiest ways), but we’re glad that’s the device for Religulous. 
Maher has worked on-location interview features into the last handful of Real […]

Movie Poster Monday: GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON

What’s cool about this movie poster for the Hunter S. Thompson (author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) documentary is that it’s created by Ralph Steadman, the same guy who drew illustrations for Thompson’s works.

Movie Poster Monday: TRUMBO

There are three ways to tell if you’re an influential writer: 1) You’re blacklisted. 2) You win an Oscar (two of ‘em, both credited years too late). 3) Metallica writes a song based on one of your books. This was the life of Dalton Trumbo (The Brave One, Spartacus, Johnny Got His Gun).
