Race, Poverty, and ATTACK THE BLOCK!

Bennett here, taking a break from growing my magical Freddie Mercury mustache.

Ever watch something and you’re all, What the—this is … wow. Yeah man.
And then your buddy’s like, Oh man, this is, I don’t even know.
And then you’re like, Damn bro, yeah. That’s right. It’s crazy how right you are.

This is pretty much what it’s like watching Attack the Block, the excellent British import from the makers of such tense, dramatic films as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and (the incredibly overrated) Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

JUAN OF THE DEAD Trailer Hits!

Bennett here.  Just saw this trailer for the Cuban film, Juan of the Dead, and I've gotta say: this sucka looks funny, irreverent, and a hell of a good time.  

Seems fascinating... Clearly there's a political theme, and I wonder how it'll play out.  A lot of media attention has been paid to it so far, and I expect Shaun of the Dead-level hype by the time it releases.

Can't wait.
