It's the thought that counts...right?

So I suppose I haven't been a good friend to my swell blog End of Cinema. I have left you unattended now for almost a month. Instead of nurturing you, I have ditched you on several occasions for my new, somewhat cooler friend A Week at the Most. I am such a bastard.

So personal wise and, of course, not to mention film wise has been good lately. I received a raise at work (woo hoo!) with another one here in the not so distant future. While living the now, things are good. Chiaki started a new job two months back and likes it more as well. Things are good. About a month or so ago I helped my newly rekindled dear friend Bo on his amazing new short film Sweet Ladies, Good Night, which was just simply one hell of an experience. It is always a very professional, enthralling, and extremely worthwhile time working on his films. The man is a genius if you ask me. You can check some early screen shots of the film (the above photo being one) at his personal website now. The flick should be completely edited and scored hopefully sometime this Autumn. The man and his lovely wife Sarah are moving back to New York to pursue their blossoming careers in a few weeks and will be dearly missed by Chiaki and I. Fear not, our visit in October, will thankfully be upon us soon enough. If all works out as planned, a move to the Big Apple for the Fowlers' may come as early as Autumn next year as well.

Sorry, for the insanely small entry this time around but I should be back around on Thursday or Friday with some more of my madcap commentary on life and film. Promise! Then again you know how reliable those can be...

Dario Argento's comeback?

The picture above just puts a constant grin on my face. Adrien Brody and Dario Argento. Really how freakin' cool is that. While I really am sadden that Asia Argento (who had to back out because of her pregnancy) will not be in the latest film from her father, I am extremely happy to see Mr. Brody. In case you are wonder, the film is called Giallo (which means Yellow) and is follows an American woman looking for her sister with the help of an Italian detective (played by Brody). The title is not only an homage to the Italian horror film genre, which is coined Giallo, but also the name of the killer in the film. Emmanuelle Seigner, who was last seen in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, has taken over Asia's role and should also be a great bonus to the picture. If you know me well you know my love of Dario Argento and I have very high hopes for this one. I have been extreme disappointed in his films the last two decades and really think this one could work with such a strong cast. Lets cross our fingers.
