So. Somebody’s gone and made a teaser for a new Mortal Kombat movie. It’s kinda awesome, and I hope they don’t sue him, but rather hire him to write and direct a full-length version. I loved the original movies (shut up), I’d totally go see an R-rated reboot… Just so long as it’s got Robin Shou. I may have really low standards for videogame movies, but I seriously need my cute kung-fu action.

The set from Cecil B. DeMille’s Ten Commandments still exists — it’s half-lost under the sand up in Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes. Apparently he couldn’t take it with him, but he didn’t want anyone else to use it, and so when filming was finished, he had it buried. There’s one guy who’s been trying to excavate it for the last twenty-five years or so, and even though he’s had quite a lot of interest, he’s never been able to raise the money. Oh, lost causes. <3
D*face takes on the Academy with an installation at a beloved local dive, Mel’s Drive-In, just off Hollywood Blvd. Perhaps it’s a reminder of the easily exposed and all too human underside of LA, or perhaps it’s commentary on the illusionary immortality granted by fame. Maybe he just wanted to irk the Academy. However you care to interpret it, I think it’s fabulous.
The only surviving print of the first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll’s tale has recently been restored to its original colors by the BFI National Archive. With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at the time.
I haven’t seen Alice in Wonderland yet, but honestly, I’d rather see this:
