Sorry for the lack of updates…. especially the Trailer Tuesdays… just to keep you busy, here’s the trailer for the incredible documentary Marwencol (2010). Marwencol is about a guy who was beaten so badly he lost his memory entirely and suddenly takes up photography using toy soldiers as his subject, resulting in a world unlike anything you’ve seen. It’s on …
Share on FacebookThis isn’t so much a trailer as it is the entire flick… the legendary 1983 NYC graffiti documentary Style Wars. This was originally a PBS documentary as well as a Sundance Film Festival winner. If you’re a fan of street art, hip-hop, and NYC history, it’s tough to beat this doc. Sorry I missed a few days last week. I’ll …
Share on FacebookThere are a few movies that I just completely geek out about and Ridley Scott’s Alien is one of them. Couple that with the Prometheus trailer and I’ve reached Nerd Nirvana. Oh, and do a quick google search for Ridley Scott Storyboards. Dude should draw comics if he wasn’t busy making Alien and Bladerunner. Share on Facebook
Share on FacebookDon’t let the awful trailer for Straight Time scare you away from this hidden 1970s gem by director Ulu Grosbard. I’ve never seen any other film by Grosbard, nor have I even recognized any from his directorial resume, but he did something right here. The film stars Dustin Hoffman, (an actor you obviously can’t go wrong with) who followed up …
Share on Facebook“…one of the most remarkable and haunting documentaries ever made” is what Robert Ebert called Terry Zwigoff’s seminal documentary chronicling the life of legendary comic artist Robert Crumb. I’m assuming that most folks coming to LazyComix.com are comic fans and are most likely well aware of this doc, but, if for some reason you haven’t seen this film, then you …
Share on FacebookI’m choosing Santa Sangre (1989) as this week’s Trailer Tuesday because I’m going to attempt to keep these somewhat related to comix although I doubt I’ll be able to keep that up for long. Nevertheless, Santa Sangre is a head-trip that I’m still trying to figure out even though I watched the flick months ago. Directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky (frequent …
Share on FacebookJust got back from seeing Star Wars The Phantom Menace 3D… this is the first time I’ve been to the movies since Avatar (2009? I need to get out more) making my last 2 trips to the theater for 3D films. Not sure what that means, but I gotta say, I love me some 3D. Even a stalwart Star Wars …
Share on FacebookThe trailer for this Stallone classic reeks of B-Movie goodness but it was a big $25 million budget release in 1986. Stallone sandwiched Cobra into his filmography in between Rocky 4 and Over the Top, so you know you’re at the height of 80′s action machismo and Stallone popularity. Despite horrible reviews the flick still managed to pull in $160 …
