Exclusive: New Southland Tales Poster
It's been a long time coming but Richard Kelly's sophomore feature is finally drawing near. The film hits cinemas in the UK on 7 December and to tide you over until then we have the world exclusive on the brand new Southland Tales poster.


For those with a short memory, the film is set in the future (2008, to be precise, which was more than just three weeks away when the film was first scheduled for release), after a nuclear apocalypse has devastated the US, turning it into a police state. In this dystopian vision of America, The Rock stars an amnesiac action star and Sarah Michelle Gellar a porn star. The film has undergone a complete overhaul and re-edit since its disappointing debut in Cannes back in 2006 so hopes are high that Kelly's second effort with be worth of the name when it finally arrives in its all-new and improved incarnation.

Can the Mighty Please Stop Falling?
This move, by all accounts, sucks, The Fountain was a bit odd and Superman Returns was just plain dull. What is WRONG with these people? Is it some kind of virus? Actually, in fairness, Nolan's doing some good work. Good on yer, mate. ... Read More

Police Dog looks a wee bit random!!!
#000000]tually looking forward to this movie. ]color=#000000]that it was "Canned" at Cannes but Richard "Donnie Darko" Kelly is directing it so lets give him the benefit-of-the-doubt and hope that he still has his "Movie Making Magic". ]color=#000000]e's had time to re-edit the film and make it more.... cohersive for our mortal minds so that it will, hopefully, make more sense. ]color=#000000]iler is great and I like the poster but, I'm not sure what the "Police Dog" in the corner is about... Read More

Informed Opinion
I'm a huge Buffy fan & a wreslting fan so I can't wait to see this. Plus I've read the first 'half' of the story, the three graphic novels. The story is an excellent, but convoluted mess. But so was Donnie Darko and that didn't have The Great One. ... Read More

When is Sarah Michelle Gellar gonna drop the drip...
...Freddy Prinze and give us all a hot movie where she just does it all the time and looks hot and naked and stuff. Alternatively, I could just switch my male ego testosterone thingy switch off and ask why she hasnt done a proper action movie lately. One of the few actresses who can do balls out action, and she does shit like The Return?!!! Oh yeah, and Southlands tales looks flashy but empty as a firework. One pop and its done. ... Read More

I don't tend to defend wrestling due to how ridiculous it is, but I just finished reading a book called Tietam Brown by Mick Foley, an ex-wwf wrestler, and it was absolutely brilliant. Clearly a clever bloke. And if you youtube the Rock and look at some defining moments of his glorious career falling down, its just reel after reel of him being hilarious.....Also every film Justin Timberlake does comes out a turd. Which makes me smile.... ... Read More

RIP The Rock
Dwayne Johnson now is it? Not even with 'The Rock' between his names. Bugger. But good for his career I imagine. Lovely poster as it's so damn strange. ... Read More

RE:
L: Tim_Bisley Ok its a bit unnerving that Sean W Scott is on the poster twice but i presume that will make sence in the movie but the poseter is so dodge it could release a sports car e plays two characters, twins if im not mistaken. i too dont understand what everyones problem with this film is, its like you want it to be crap. going on what we've already seen from kelly (donnie darko & the southland tales books) then theres nothing to worry about. the trailer looks amazing and just... Read More
