Opening this weekend
Funny People
No, it’s not as funny as Knocked Up, it’s 20 minutes too long, and I realize you probably won’t like it as much as I did. Nonetheless, it’s a real movie, which is rare, and it’s the best thing Adam Sandler’s done in ten years. And on the other hand, so’s your face.
The Collector
I can’t believe someone had the balls to put “From the writers of Saw IV, V, and VI” in the trailer. Gee, guys, that’s quite the plug. This summer… from the makers of speed bumps, techno, and stubbing your toe on the f*cking coffee table… The only way the bad guy could have a more stupid looking mask is if he made it out of Colin Hanks’ face.
Not Quite Hollywood
This documentary about the obscure-yet-awesome genre of Ozploitation films only opens in New York and LA, but the filmmakers sent me a cool playlist of Ozploitation flicks to attach after the jump. They did my work for me. And I like that.
After the jump I’ve got the trailer for Not Quite Hollywood, a documentary about the "Ozploitation" films of the 70s and early 80s featuring Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dennis Hopper.
NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is the first detailed examination and celebration of the Australian genre films of the 70’s and early 80’s and the undervalued auteurs and actors who brought them to life in such an explosive way. [Source]
I’ve featured clips from such movies on FilmDrunk before. Basically how it happened was the Australian government at the time was giving massive tax breaks to anyone who financed a film shot in Australia, and the result was a lot of awesomely shitty movies. The trailer is slightly NWS for violence, brief nudity, and AC/DC. No release date has been set in the U.S., but it opens in Australia in August. I tried to exploit an Australian girl once, but she outdrank me and called me a cunt.
