My brother recently informed me of this great film, Darius Goes West. It’s the story of a teenager who is living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy who embarks on a journey west with his friends to get MTV’s Pimp My Ride to trick out his wheelchair. It’s a touching and inspiring story about a courageous young [...]

I first got interested in The Watchmen when I heard Zach Snyder was going to be directing. I thoroughly enjoyed his take on the Zombie movie with his remake of Dawn of the Dead and 300 was a brilliant epic. As such, I’ve been reading through the Watchmen graphic novel in eager anticipation of the [...]

I want to take a minute to tell you about a great film that I’ve recently seen. This is, hands down, my favorite movie at the moment and I can’t wait to see it again. Full disclosure: this review is not sponsored in any way. I’m genuinely, freely plugging this film.
Coraline is the story of [...]

This is a creative, entertaining and orginal short film that is very funny.  Despite the character’s being complete oddballs, you are completely sympathetic towards them.  Enjoy!

This is a bit old, but I wanted to share it with those who haven’t seen it yet.  Quite easily one of the best teaser trailers ever, it plays heavily on the epic-sounding voice over we are so accustomed to hearing, which is perhaps why I love it so much.  Enjoy!

“In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back.”
That’s the pitch for the film Iron Sky.  This is the new trailer for the film, and besides having an incredible sense of tongue-in-cheek humor,  it looks like a lot of fun to watch.  There is no better bad guy in cinema [...]

I don’t intend for Mumbo Jumbo Daily to become an Indiana Jones fan site, but given the recent movie and whatnot, there seems to be a lot of related news floating around.
That said, turns out a new script was leaked not too long ago that was (supposedly) written by Frank Darabont, also known as the [...]

It’s just one more item in a long list of things that makes me a copyfighter…
For those unfamiliar, allow me a few moments to explain this tragic situation.
Several years ago an independent film director by the name of Fergle Gibson, over in the UK decided to make a Max Payne fan film.  That’s right, from [...]

This is goofy and gory. I’m a fan of campy B-horror movies. Army of Darkness is a great amount of fun if you’ve never seen it, and possibly epitomizes the horror/splatter/comedy genres, with Bruce Campbell’s hilarious character (and distinctive chin).
Sand & Cotton put together a post, chronicling the best head Explosions in film.  It’s [...]

Note: I’ve been purposely boycotting seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, simply because I’ve heard it is terrible, that it’s just a derivative rehash of the old film, made to bring in oodles and oodles of cash.  Understand, I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan; I’ve played all the games, own all [...]

I’ve been in love with the highly stylized calavera dolls used in Mexico’s holiday Dia De Los Muertos ever since playing Grim Fandango in the early 2000’s (what can I say?  I picked up the game late).
That’s partially why I love this short film so much.  Enjoy Viva Calaca! (Click the image to go to [...]

This short film is part of a growing movement in Open Cinema.  It was made by a small team of artists using only free open-source software, like Blender, who worked for a year to create this 8 minute piece.  It’s colorful, funny, and highly creative.  The last 3D [...]

Warning!  Potentially hazardous amounts of crash-zooms ahead!
This has been making its way around the social web for a little while now.  In case you’ve missed it, it’s absolutely hysterical.  The team behind it produced a trailer first, and are now releasing the full movie in parts.  I’d highly suggest adding this to your Youtube subscriptions.  [...]

I love these kind of polemic pieces (you can’t rightly call them documentaries, because they aren’t neutral in their reporting).  Regardless, I might just have to see this…

I was pretty blown away when Batman Begins came out. That being said, I’m completely psyched about The Dark Knight, and this match-edit of the new trailer versus the old Batman movie is perfect for all the comic book movie junkies.

I love Tim Burton movies. This short clip is Burton’s first stop motion from 1982. The short film contains many of the stylistic hallmarks that Burton is now famous for: the dark and moody Gothic tones, the black and white stripes and checkers, the twisted character designs, and the weird creatures he designs [...]

Sorry, guys, I thought I wrote this up yesterday, but I must have accidentally deleted it!  Oh well, here it is again!

I’m an absolute film nut and to see two of my favorite genres mashed up like this is mind blowing.  I’m a big fan of Saul Bass and his prolific and iconic body of [...]

Expendable is a hilarious short film by David Malki ! of Wondermark.com fame.  The level of production quality is very high here, with big budget style special effects and sets.  From the Synopsis:
“Expendable offers a look at this world from the perspective of the mega-villain’s low-level, anonymous henchmen: mostly decent, hard-working folk whose [...]

Here is one for all the Hemingway fans out there.
Alexander Petrov is a Russian-born, Canadian-based film director. What makes him notable are the techniques he uses to achieve his images, notably, painting with oil paints on glass, frame by frame, until he has an entire seamless movie.
Starting in 1997 and taking up nearly two [...]
