Weekly Blend 137: We Are Iron Men

Sun, 04 May 2008 20:35:02 -0400

Iron Man turns out to be a fantastic hit to kick the summer season off, and it brings with it a slew of geeked out trailers. We give our take on those as well as Lost, Scrubs, our sides of the hefty viral marketing debate, and tease a little more about the future of Cinema Blend's podcasting section.

Weekly Blend 136: Welcome To Liberty City

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:47:37 -0400

When Sometimes Tim showed up bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, I knew it could only be one thing - GTA IV, the big competition for Iron Man's official start of the summer movie season. We talk GTA, the summer movie slate, and this week's big news, including the start of The Hobbit, the tone of Dark Knight's advertising, and Hancock gone wrong.

Weekly Blend Interview: Deception Director Marcel Langenegger

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:42:15 -0400

Stop me if you've heard this one: Wolverine takes Obi-Wan to a sex club... No, there's no punchline. That's the premise of Deception, a movie starring Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman. Jackman takes McGregor to a sex club where a new world is unveiled to the former Jedi actor - a world of betrayal, lust, and possibly even murder.

Deception comes from first time director Marcel Langenegger, who has more than his share of interesting stories to tell about the movie. From talking about the basic premise to explaining how a first time director got to work with two of today's biggest commercial actors, Langenegger didn't have a dull time making this movie. Thankfully, he was willing to spend a few minutes with us giving us the lowdown.

Weekly Blend 135: Jason Segel's Junk

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:08:50 -0400

Margaret takes Rafe's single negative comment of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and turns it into a fixation that lasts the entire show. We try not to let one man's bait and tackle hold things up from more serious discussion though, like our take on returning favorite TV shows, the massive firing of New Line Employees, and a comparison of the opinions of online press from the people behind Marvel's summer movies.

Weekly Blend Interview: Darren Lynn Bousman Talks Repo!

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 18:04:55 -0400

For the past three years director Darren Lynn Bousman has made audiences cringe and offered up nightmares with three sequels of the Saw franchise. Now Bousman is moving past his time with Jigsaw (something he says he’s equally glad to have been a part of and glad to be done with) and taking on a project that can only be described as incredibly unique.

The film is Repo: The Genetic Opera, a movie that meshes together the genres of horror, science fiction, and musicals as it tells the story of a futuristic “repo man” who reclaims body parts when people can’t keep up with their payments.

Bousman recently talked with us about his upcoming film and why he felt the need to do something so unique that it may be beyond marketing.
