Moomintrolls and Alex Skarsgard

The wonderful fairytale-creatures created by Tove Jansson in her beloved books are here again.
The new movie, "Moomins and the Comet chase" has some pretty impressive cast voicing the characters.
If you haven´t read the book-series, I highly recommend it for people of all ages. The timeless messages of love, acceptance and positive attitude over everything are just charming and to the point.

Watch as Alex and his dad Stellan talk about the movie.

Mark Wahlberg in the new Crow-movie?

Bloody disgusting is claiming that Mark Wahlberg has been offered the new lead role in the Crow-remake.
Originally made in 1994, The Crow told the story of a murdered musician, who returns to live with the help of a crow to revenge his death. The movie was based on a fantastic comic by James O´Barr.
Sadly, the actor playing the original lead in 1994, Brandon Lee, was tragically killed by a faulty prop gun.

The original is a cult classic. The role of Eric Raven calls for darkness, mystery, goth godly hotness, borderline disorder tendencies and underlying uncontrollable rage. I don´t see a lot of that in this fellow. What do you think?

Corey Feldman talks about the untimely death of Corey Haim

In this interview clip actor Corey Feldman explains how the death of his friend earlier this year was not related to drug use, as was reported, but to his failing health. Feldman and Haim acted in several unforgettable cult films together in the 1980s, the most notable one being "The Lost Boys" from 1987. 

 Haim began using heavy drugs early on in his teens, and although he seemingly gained sobriety in his later years, the long-lasting addiction had taken its toll on his body. Noticeably frail Haim confessed in the reality-show "Two Coreys" how his lifestyle had permanently damaged his brain and heart. Corey Haim was 38-years-old when he died.

The price of being a Batman? 27 000 dollars!

Yep, what to do with all that free time and money? How about your own movie starring you as the Batman!

That is exactly what Aaron Schoenke did, and the result is pretty impressive. Technology nowadays is cheap - without the need for special effects anyone can make their own movie and distribute it over the net. Filming of The City of Scars took 21 days and mere 27 000 dollars - a lot for most of us mere mortals but pennies regarding action movie budgets. Feeling inspired?
