  • My Name is Bruce Gets Limited Release

    2

    We’ve talked about it at length around here but it looks like it’s finally happening. Bruce Campbell’s My Name is Bruce is getting a release but don’t get too excited; it’s not a particularly wide one.

    Dread Central has uncovered the touring dates and it’s not looking good for Canadian fans of The Chin – at this point, it doesn’t look like the film is opening North of the 49th. I wasn’t expecting a wide opening but I had hoped that maybe, just maybe, we’d get a chance to see the film locally but at this point, that doesn’t look like it’ll happen. Once again, we’ll be waiting for a DVD release.

    For those who are interested, here are the screening. Mark your calendars!

  • Trick ‘r Treat Gets a Screening Date [NY]

    0

    Trick \'r Treat Movie StillBoth Andrew and I have shared our excitement at the opportunity to see Mike Dougherty’s Halloween themed horror movie Trick ‘r Treat but for some undisclosed reason, the film is still sitting on a shelf somewhere. But it looks like someone will finally get the opportunity to see it.

    Dread Central has news that the film will screen at NY’s Two Boots Pioneer theater on Monday, October 13th with Dougherty in attendance to intro the film and take part in a Q&A after.

    The screening is free and to get yourself on the list, you have to head over to Fangoria and send the nice folks over there a quick email. This is certain to fill up fast so if you’re in NY and interested, best get on it sooner rather than later.

    If you happen to get into the screening, be sure to drop us a line to let us know how it went and just how kick ass the movie really is. It’s almost guaranteed that it’ll be months if not years before we have a chance to see this!

  • Crispin Glover Tours With What Is It? [Vancouver]

    Crispin Glover

    Crispin Glover is an interesting character. Not your typical leading man, he has managed to make a career for himself as an actor who takes on oddball and strange rolls and alongside his fairly eclectic hobbies, he’s developed an almost cult-like following.

    I’ve never been a huge follower of Glover’s but he’s a bit of an enigma and that holds some appeal for me and apparently for a whole load of other folks. Glover is currently touring “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show” which features a one hour slide show presentation, a screening of one of his films and then a Q&A. The show will make a stop in Vancouver for a three night engagement at the Pacific Cinémathèque on July 18th, 19th and 20th and will feature a screening of his directorial debut What Is It?. For a mere $20, you too can be enlightened by Mr. Glover.

    I plan on being there, opening night, to take in the spectacle and maybe, just maybe, have a moment to corner Mr. Glover for a quick chat. Wish me luck. In the meantime, be sure to check out the strange trailer for the film tucked under the seat!
