8-BIT SOUNDTRACK TO THE BIG LEBOWSKI
Musician Chipocrite has put out a 6 track 8-bit chiptune soundtrack for the 15th year anniversary (to the date!) of the Coen Brothers’ film The Big Lebowski. You can pick it up for $5 over at Band Camp and listen to familiar songs changed into electronic works of art while sipping away on a white russian and looking at a rug that really pulls the room together, man.
TRAILER FOR DANNY BOYLE’S TRANCE
Here’s a trailer for Danny Boyle’s (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) new film called Trance. It’s a psychological thriller about an art heist where the thief (McAvoy) steals a valuable painting
Oh, but then he gets double crossed by his partner (Cassel) who hits him so hard he forgets where he actually stashed the painting. Cue a sexy psychologist (Dawson) to help clear the foggy memories and you’ve got a stylish film I can’t wait to see.

THE LASER SWORD IN THE STONE
I don’t know if anyone else has already done this Disney/Star Wars mashup yet, but it was too fun for me to resist.

NECA’S LIGHTNING GREMLIN FROM GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH
One of my favorite cult films series is Joe Dante’s Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. NECA recently started releasing new toy figures and one of them is this Lightning Gremlin from Gremlins 2.
I think this figure perfectly embodies the wild and wacky edge that Dante brought to the sequel. Gremlins 2 was such a departure from the original with more slapstick camp in the script, over the top genetically altered creatures with a cartoon style and a weird Looney Tunes tie in.
The Lightning Gremlin figure is available exclusively at Toys R US for $11.99.
