LOOK INTO MY OWL

The Phone Booth Gallery has put together a fun show of artworks dedicated to Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror film “The Shining”. Some of the pieces in the online exhibit are straight illustrations while others ran with the theme. If you are a fan of the film be sure to check the site. The show includes work from Aurora Armijo, Arlene Reyes, Caspar Williams, David Owen, Garry Booth, Iain Macarthur, Jack Rossi, Jason “jZn” Liwag, Kevin Bannister, Kevin Tong, Mark Michelon, Quyen Dinh, R. Black, Ryan Milner, and more.

An Art Show Dedicated to the Shining

October is officially here. It’s a time for harvest and renewal but mostly this month is an occasion for scary movies. Dario Argento’s “Mother of Tears” has been released on DVD and it is a excellent place to start. Argento has been referred to as the “Italian Hitchcock” and the “Master of Gore” but it may be more accurate to claim him as the best director… period. Dario has some advice for those that think his work contains too much gore and violence, “Please don’t come to see my films.”

You can view the trailer for “Mother of Tears” as well as my list of Dario Argento’s best efforts after the jump.

Coming this fall to a theater near you, “Choke“. It’s easy to become obsessed with Chuck Palahniuk, the writer of the book from which this film has been adapted. Yes, he wrote “Fight Club”, it was a great book and the film was excellent too but Chuck doesn’t end there. Palahniuk has written eleven books (we recommend them all) and started a cult.
It’s rare that we get out to the theater but this one could be worth the trip. Check the official trailer below.

I’ll have to check this film out. It’s a Korean production entitled “I’m a Cyborg, But that’s OK”. If the film is even remotely as good as the WEBSITE we are all in for a treat.
