ANIMAL FACTORY Starring Willem Dafoe on Blu-ray November 28th From Arrow Video


ANIMAL FACTORY starring Willem Dafoe will be available on Blu-ray November 28th From Arrow Video


Troubled youth Ron Decker (Edward Furlong, American History X) is sentenced to a ten-year stint in the notorious San Quentin State Prison for a drug-dealing conviction. Inexperienced in the ways of prison life, he’s taken under the wing of Earl Copen (Willem Dafoe, To Live and Die in LA), an experienced con with the entire prison in the palm of his hand – inmates and guards alike. But as Ron grows increasingly cocky in his privileged role as Earl’s confidant, is he in danger of biting off more than he can chew with some of the jail’s more volatile inhabitants?

Based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Eddie Bunker (Reservoir Dogs), Animal Factory was Steve Buscemi (Lonesome JimInterview)’s second stint in the director’s chair and sees him marshaling a formidable ensemble cast, including Bunker, Danny Trejo (Machete) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), for a powerful and sincere account of the men caught up in the penal system and the deals they cut with each other, and themselves, in order to survive.

BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:

• High Definition digital transfer
• Lossless original 2.0 stereo audio
• Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
• Interview with critic Barry Forshaw covering Eddie Bunker’s varied career

Throwback Thursday – The Top Ten Lines from THE TERMINATOR Franchise

Terminator-header

The gang at We Are Movie Geeks is so excited for THE TERMINATOR GENISYS, which opens everywhere next Wednesday July 1st. We’re so excited in fact, that we can’t stop reciting lines from the first four Terminator films. Just this morning, as my wife was leaving for work, I said “Hasta La Vista, Baby”. She smiled sweetly. And when I was talking on the phone to my mom the other day, I said “You’re terminated, f**ker!” She hung up on me. Anyway, we’ve assembled our top ten favorite lines from the Terminator franchise. Perhaps THE TERMINATOR GENISYS will have a few zingers in it as well. We’ll let you know next week when we post our review here at We Are Movie Geeks.

10. “Put down your weapon. And the coffin!”This is of course from the epic graveyard shootout in TERMINATOR 3 – RISE OF THE MACHINES

t3-1

9. “I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle!”From TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY – it’s more a demand than a request.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) saves Edward Furlong (John Connor). Together they are going to save John's mother.

8. “Come with me if you want to live!” – said by Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in the first THE TERMINATOR. It was such a great line, Arnold said it again in TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

t1-2

7. “Talk to the Hand” – another great moment from TERMINATOR 3 – RISE OF THE MACHINES. See for yourself:

6. “He’ll Live!”the Terminator has promised not to kill anybody, but to get into the hospital he shoots the guard in the legs, from TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

t2-2

5. “Your levity is good, it relieves tension and the fear of death.”sometimes I think TERMINATOR 3 – RISE OF THE MACHINES has as many great lines as the first two!

t3-2

4. “You’re terminated, fu**ker!”Sarah Conner’s (Linda Hamilton) sendoff to the big guy in the original THE TERMINATOR (a version of the line – without the vulgarity – was said by Arnold in TERMINATOR 3 – RISE OF THE MACHINES

t1-3

3. “I want you off the F**king set you prick! Do I f**king knock your light lights down!? Then why the f**k are you walking right through!?! What don’t you f**king understand?!”Okay, this isn’t technically a line from any Terminator movie but it is what Christian Bale screamed while throwing his infamous tantrum on the set of TERMINATOR SALVATION.  We Are Movie Geeks could not think of any actual lines from TERMINATOR SALVATION worthy of this list.

t4

2. “Hasta la vista, baby!”Arnold and Edward Furlong both uttered this in TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY – probably the greatest Spanish language line in the history of cinema.

1. “I’ll be back!”A no-brainer – Arnold’s signature line is so popular, he’s used it in other movies that aren’t even part of the Terminator franchise!

That’s our list and we’re sticking to it! Look for continued coverage of THE TERMINATOR GENISYS here at We Are Movie Geeks!

Furlong and Zane must be on ‘Janjaweed’

billyzaneedwardfurlong

As you may have guessed (or not) this is more news on Uwe Boll. You have to hand it to the guy, he’s like the Energizer bunny when it comes to his persistence. The only reason I keep following his news is because he fascinates me on a very strange level.

‘Janjaweed’, also known as ‘Darfur’, is Boll’s next movie and he’s currently casting. Apparently, the opinionated critic-slayer has once again landed actual talent for his cinematic schlock, allegedly signing Edward Furlong (American History X) and Billy Zane (Blood Rayne), as well as Kristanna Loken (In the Name of the King). The cast allegedly also includes Matt Frewer (aka Trashcan Man). The movie is said to be a dramatic story that follows journalists covering the atrocities in Sudan.
