Kees Van Dijkhuizen has another montage to share with us [see his other 'films of' here] this time focusing on the films of Christopher Nolan. Watch the great video below which will only get you more excited for The Dark Knight Rises, nothing wrong with that.
After hundreds of requests, one of the most visionary, iconic and successful filmmakers of our generation has finally gotten the [the films of] treatment. Christopher Nolan’s films have kept anyone of us on the edge of their seat. Every film is filled with secrets, surprises, twists and turns, and only a true movie mastermind could keep even the biggest film nut fooled until the very last minute. They’re films that demand a second, third and fourth viewing. Christopher Nolan is a perfect example of traditional filmmaking with modern twists, and is a fine addition to a series already filled to the brink with inspiring artists.

It is time. The return of Beavis and Butt-Head is upon us. Here is a trailer for the comeback of Beavis and Butt-Head and it has all the thing we loved in the series – the animation style remains the same and the couch surfing is still there, now updated (you’ll see them tear apart Jersey Shore in the trailer).
Mike Judge’s B&B returns October 27th, here’s the trailer courtesy of Vulture.

We’ve featured a few compilations created by YouTube user mewlists, here’s another: the 100 Greatest Shut Ups in Films (watch below). Depending on where you work, I should warn you this is possibly NSFW. So if you work in a daycare for example…grab some headphones. My favorite from the list has to be Adam Sandler in Billy Madison, love that delivery.
Watch the video below!

It’s the end of summer box office numbers, and it’s a slow finish. The Help held onto the top spot for a third week beating out some mediocre dumping ground movies. I don’t want to keep talking about The Help, but it seems it’s the only newsworthy item of the last few weekends. This weekend it was down by less than 3% and with a reported budget of $25M, the movie has become a massive success passing the $100 million mark on Tuesday, making it one of the highest-grossing summer dramas of all-time.
1. The Help – $14.2M – $118.6M Total
2. The Debt – $11.6M
3. Apollo 18 $10.7M
4. Shark Night 3D – $10.5M
5. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes – $7.8M – $160M Total

Next weekend: Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion.

In Vegas, everybody’s gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I’m watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all. – Ace Rothstein
If we learned one thing from Goodfellas, it was that when you team up the likes of Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, and Joe Pesci, something magical happens. 15 years have passed since it’s release in 1995 and that shovel scene at the end is still a cause to cringe. The cinematography, the acting, the premise; all felt very gritty. I mean this movie holds a Guiness World Record for most swear words feature length film. The “F-Bomb” is dropped 422 times, that’s an average number of 2.4 times per minute (thanks IMDB for that interesting statistic). Casino is more of a, ‘remember the good ole days’ cautionary tale of what mob life did to the Vegas strip. It’s a story of one man’s rise from complete obscurity to take a city by storm, only to lose touch with the ever changing moral foundation of a city with a lack there of. (more…)

It’s alright to be afraid, David, because this part won’t be like a comic book. Real life doesn’t fit into little boxes that were drawn for it. – Elijah Price
M. Night Shyamalan has already established his own personal stamp for his films. Sadly this one is the most underrated works of the last decade. The first time I saw it I was blown away at how quiet and moving the movie is, and now almost ten years later after watching it again, I was more taken aback by how much movies have changed and audiences have changed. This movie represents a time when going to the movies was like finishing that great book. You close the last page and sit there, still in awe. Leaving the theater or opening the DVD tray a decade later; I’m still get that feeling with UNBREAKABLE.
