Will somebody explain the sheep and the bear? Luis Buñuel really knows how to disturb people. This, his most characteristic surreal drama proposes an impossible, irrational situation – which isn’t all that different from the reality we know. Petty social rules, jealousies and bitterness make life hell for group of dinner guests stuck with each other, caught in an existential trap.

I love it when a plan comes together. One day after casting Mia Maestro as the lead for an intense little FX network pilot called The Strain, now the masters behind the vampire thriller, Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse, select two more actors, choosing Titanic‘s Jonathan Hyde and Inglourious Basterds‘ Richard Sammel.
Who is who? Well, Hyde, who acted the part of Ismay in James Cameron’s massive and enduring blockbuster, Titanic, has been cast in the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer. Palmer is described as an elderly gentleman, the THR report calls “the third-richest man in the world” and “an invalid since childhood”. Where’s the kicker? Brace yourself, because here it comes. The goal our rich friend will stop at nothing to obtain is immortality.

De la Guardia (Claudio Brook), the villain of Guillermo Del Toro’s first movie Cronos, sits in his room like a spider in a web. When he walks, it is with two sticks. Around him hang statues of archangels; part of his obsessive quest. He is Sidney Greenstreet, and they are his Maltese Falcons, and he still hasn’t found the right one. Meanwhile an elderly shopkeeper called Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) finds hidden in just such a statue a gold, oval, meticulously designed artefact. A prologue has already hinted at its purpose; hundreds of years ago an alchemist designed it as a means of eternal life. We are not sure how it works, exactly, until metallic legs shoot out and bury their way into Jesus’s hand. Of course: it’s an insect.
The eternal life comes at a cost, as Jesus soon discovers. In one of the best scenes Del Toro has filmed,...

The Film:
Today, Guillermo del Toro is considered one of the best storytellers in film. What he does with a mixture of live action and special effects is really ahead of its time. One just has to look at his recent films like Hellboy, it’s sequel and the Oscar nominated Pan’S Labyrinth. Every filmmaker has a beginning, and del Toro’s was 1993′s Cronos. Cronos is an interesting film to say the least. Del Toro has put together one of the most interesting vampire movies to date. In most vampire films you know what you are to expect. A vampire has two long teeth that will suck blood to survive. Here, there are no long teeth. To stay alive the blood of the vampire must be sucked by an insect looking mechanism. It is very hard to take an idea that is as old as a vampire and make it your own.

Cronos Written and Directed by: Guillermo del Toro Starring: Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman and Claudio Brook Lately it seems devout fans of The Criterion Collection have been divided by the inclusion of some of the more modern entries into the series. The works of Wes Anderson, Nobuhiko Obayashi's Hausu (not technically modern but definitely an unusual choice), and most notoriously, Michael Bay's Armageddon and The Rock, have all been called out as either cash grabs or minor works that dilute the otherwise classy collection. I was expecting the same reaction to their release of Guillermo Del Toro's Cronos, but there's no denying that he's had a strong impact on genre filmmaking over the last decade and a half. His ability to elevate horror and fantasy stories have hit a note with both genre fans and critics. Cronos is certainly a worthwhile debut that deserves the Criterion treatment. Del...

Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
The Chronicles of Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader – Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley
The Tourist – Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany
Movie of the Week
The Tourist
The Stars: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany
The Plot: An American tourist (Depp) finds his life in danger when a female Interpol agent (Jolie) uses him as a dupe to flush out an elusive criminal.
The Buzz: I’m having a hard time answering the following question: who would I rather spend a day with, Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie? Sure, change the “day” to “night” and the situation would be simplified by hormonal trappings — but in all seriousness, these are two of the most alluring, charismatic, iconic “beautiful people” working in Hollywood today. Depp is mystifyingly cool, and a brilliant actor. I feel Jolie is about twelve steps below Depp in acting prowess,...

It's been seventeen years since Guillermo del Toro wrote and directed the unique and terrifying vampire tale Cronos, starring Federico Luppi as an antique dealer who stumbles upon a mysterious mechanism designed by a 16th century alchemist to bestow the gift of eternal life. A rich tycoon (Claudio Brook) on the verge of death will stop at nothing to attain the device, aided by his spiteful American nephew (Ron Perlman), a colorful character more interested in remaining in the old man's will than helping to prolong his life. At the time of its release, Cronos was one of the most expensive Mexican features ever produced; an impressive feat for a 28 year-old first time feature director. In the years since, Del Toro...

It is a very light week for horror DVDs with a few re-releases on Blu-ray of newer classics, starting with the "New Flesh" that is Videodrome as well as Guillermo del Toro's Cronos.
Other releases this week that are worthy of any mention include a blood-soaked whale-watching trip, an entomologist who started a human collection instead, and a television mini-series about exorcism.
Videodrome (Criterion Collection) (1983)
Directed by David Cronenberg
Starring James Woods, Deborah Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson
When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new shows for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called Videodrome. As he unearths the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformation. Renn's ordinary life dissolves around him, and he finds himself at the center of...

Guillermo del Toro's name seems to pop in relation to a new project every week, but he hasn't actually directed that many movies. Instead of picking up whatever comes along, he has generally chosen projects that appeal to his very specific interests. del Toro's first film Cronos (1993) -- which is now available on Blu-Ray from The Criterion Collection -- lays out the stylistic and thematic approach that del Toro still follows to this day. Cronos is a good movie -- not a great one -- that paved the way for superior works like The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth.
An antiques dealer named Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) lives with his wife Mercedes (Margarita Isabel) and young granddaughter Aurora (Tamara Shanath). One fateful day, he comes across a mechanical gold scarab. The ancient device, which yields mysterious powers, slowly transforms Gris into a new being with strange uncontrollable passions. Gris'...

Release Date: Feb. 9
Director: Luis Buñuel
Writer: Buñuel; Buñuel and Luis Alejandro
Cinematographer: Gabriel Figueroa
Starring: Sylvia Pinal, Enrique Rambal; Pinal, Claudio Brook.
Studio/Run Time: The Criterion Collection, 93 mins., 45 mins.
Decades before Lost or even The Twilight Zone, director Luis Buñuel was creating hallucinatory experiences out of mundane reality, deranging the commonplace to sly, subversive effect. The peripatetic Spaniard invented surrealist cinema with his friend Salvador Dali in 1929, claiming a place in art history via the eyeball-slicing scandal of Un Chien Andalou. But the filmmaker drifted after that, failing to gain a foothold in either New York or Hollywood before finally establishing a middle-aged career shooting often melodramatic—and overlooked—commercial fare in Mexico.
