LOVE Review

by Tommy Cook    Posted: August 18th, 2011 at 4:49 pm

The plight of the lone man in space is a common trope of the science fiction genre. Moon, The Fountain, 2001- all explore in various degrees of effectiveness what (and/or who) man is stripped of all he knows, isolated in the vacuum of space. Love, a more than worthy addition to this micro-genre, ably explores the ramifications of complete isolation. The solution to which – one can perhaps easily surmise from the film’s title. Hit the jump for my full review.

New Trailer and Poster for LOVE

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 13th, 2011 at 6:03 pm

A new trailer and poster for the film Love have hit the interwebs.  A product of first-time writer/director William Eubank, Love stars Gunner Wright (The Losers) as Lee Miller, an astronaut who is isolated aboard a stranded spacecraft before making a peculiar discovery.  After reading my one line premise, recollections of Duncan Jones’ Moon almost inevitably come to mind.  Even if these similarities prove true, I’m still interested in Love as it has been a much-talked about project from Tom Delonge’s (formerly of Blink 182) alt-rock outfit, Angels and Airwaves (who score the film).

Check out the poster and visually-minded trailer after the jump.  Love will premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on February 2.

Sailing Out Across the Radio Waves – Ray’s PIRATE RADIO Review and More

by Ray Carsillo    Posted: November 12th, 2009 at 1:38 pm

It was an unusually warm day in November when I got word that there would be an advanced screening of Focus Features’ newest picture, Pirate Radio. In addition to the screening, I would get the chance to talk with Tom Sturridge, a bit of an acting newcomer who would serve as the film’s lynchpin, and the writer/director of the film, Richard Curtis.  Well, I grabbed The Who’s Greatest Hits album, aptly titled after one of their greatest singles, My Generation, jumped in my Chevy and sped away towards midtown Manhattan.

Being a bit of a Richard Curtis fan for his work as a writer on one of Britain’s most celebrated sitcoms ever, Black Adder, and for his directorial debut with Love, Actually, to say I was amped up would probably be an understatement. I had also wanted to desperately see this movie since I had heard of it because I usually enjoy time-period pieces about one of my favorite subjects, the history of TV and radio.  What I thought of the film and more after the jump:
