Just noticed that Herk Harvey’s 1962 cult classic Carnival of Souls is available in its entirety on hulu. Consider this my contribution to any horror-themed October shenanigans. Because I don’t really get into horror-themed October shenanigans that much, although I am going to try to spend some time month catching up on some classic horror I’ve managed to miss. You know, like Night of the Living Dead. As an example. Oh, while we’re on the subject of hulu, they just put up Richard Linklater’s Slacker. I totally would’ve scooped everyone online if I’d posted it when I first saw it this morning, but by the time I got around to it, Slashfilm, SpoutBlog, and Anne Thompson had already beat me.

Okay, now, both sources I’m using for movie release information (IMDb and FirstShowing.net) say that David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises is opening in wide release this week. I don’t know how wide “wide” is, though, since it isn’t playing in Austin or St. Louis, and is only in one theatre in Dallas. Still. [...]
Here are some of the films I’m looking forward to in the next…year. I haven’t kept up on trailer watching, so these are mostly big releases and many of them are duhs. Oh well.
Embedded trailers and my reactions after the jump. Warning: VERY LONG.
