Too Gory for the Screen?

Holy schmoly. Prepare for a debate, Cin-Obs! A Canadian make-up artist has been charged for making movies that are too gory!! Yikes! Read below and please weigh in via comments!


MONTREAL – Rémy Couture’s imagination is a twisted place, where serial killers mutilate and rape corpses and a child is fed a severed arm. But the special-effects artist does not think the horror films he created depicting that world should make him a criminal.

Mr. Couture, 33, will be in Quebec Court on Monday to learn his trial date for what will be a closely watched test of Canadian obscenity law. He faces three charges under the Criminal Code of producing, distributing and possessing obscene material after police arrested him and raided his east-end Montreal apartment and studio.

A big thanks to our filmmaker pal James Bressack for this hot tip!

The Movie Brothers Podcast Episode 5

We had the honour of joining the wonderful Movie Brothers (yeah that's right, we found some bros) in their latest podcast episode, and it was ultra fun. The topic? Top movies of the 90s! Well, we're 90s kids so when they assemebled a top 10, we had a two page list. Oops. But they humoured us and we all yacked and yacked.

We also played some amazing trivia. Boys versus girls! We won't tell you who won, but let's just say the shit was rigged.



So check out The Movie Bros. They know their movie stuff!

Their creative passion adds more fun to their posts with their design work.

With many nominations in this years awards, probably nothing more fitting than for them two wonderful women to walk away with this years Special Achievement Award. Congratulations."

Swan's Video Surveillance Center


Oh Dear Lord. I just had a religious experience. Ari from The Swan Archives, one of our most favie sites since it obsesses over our most favouritest movie ever, Phantom of the Paradise (1974), has just created something magnifique.

The new section of the website, Swan's Video Surveillance Center will take you through the movie scene by scene with a sort of fan commentary. But don't be fooled - Ari ain't no regular fan. He has knowledge out the wazoo, some crazy insider stuff, and details that obsessed fans like us eat up.

Through his witty, encyclopedic knowledge of the production, the actors, the effing props for God's sakes, and the writer/director, Ari will give you an inside look at the film like only a true Phantom phan can. Or maybe they're called phanatics. I'm not sure. Either way, I wanna copywright that term. Mine!

Be sure to check out his merchandise section as well to see Cinema Obsessed's very own design, a Phantom t-shirt.

And if you haven't seen this movie, get the hell outta here and watch it. And report back.

The Easy Way to Watch Your Favourite Movies With LOVEFiLM

Since we don't have NetFlicks, we were intrigued when LOVEFiLM told us about their new service that lets you watch movies online.

Check out what they had to say!
_______________________________



Watching movies online is becoming an increasingly popular way to view all the latest film releases and any TV shows you may have missed.

The internet is accessible 24/7 and offers anyone with an internet connection an insight into a world of media. Hours on end can be spent watching your favourite movies and all this is possible from the comfort of your own home.

The satellite TV on a PC enables viewers with access to an assortment of stations; some that may not even be available with your current TV package. This means that watching action movies, comedies, dramas, chick flicks and all the latest releases is a simple and hassle free procedure.

Film fans simply log onto an online movie website, such as LOVEFiLM, type in either the film name, the actor or actresses name, or a genre and they will then be provided with a variety of film titles, all of which are available to watch online. This method is a safe, fast and easy way to watch movies online as well as to catch up with an array of top TV shows.

LOVEFiLM has recently introduced a new category to their website, which allows viewers to watch an assortment of movies online. There is an easy to use drop down menu that lists the various genres available, film and TV collections and hotlists. They currently house a total of 5,059 movie and TV options; providing something to suit all. This is a great online destination for film buffs, and all the viewer requires in order to enjoy the vast choice of entertainment available is an active internet connection.

Searching for your favourite movie has never been easier and the best bit is you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home, watching your favourite movie is just a few clicks away.

So if any Cin-Obs are gonna try out this service, please report back and let us know how it was!

How The Cin-Obs Will Survive the Zombie Apocalypse


In bids to win tickets to Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D tonight in Ottawa, the Cin-Obs submitted their ideas about how they would survive the zombie apocalypse. Because everyone knows it's an eventuality...
___________________________________

Shannon says:

I will just use my knowledge learned from the Ministry of Revenue: Duck and Cover.


Ian Says:

I will survive the zombie apocalypse with the following supplies:

- two short, but really sharp, swords

- shotgun (I like to keep it handy for close encounters)

- water

- reese peanut butter cups

- I guess some real food would come in handy too

- one shot dueling pistol (in case shit goes wrong)

With my kit, and dressed like a dude from a post apocalyptic movie like Mad Max or Denzel in the Book of Eli, I will wander the globe (or at least the western hemisphere, I don't fancy boating across the Atlantic by myself), avoiding all major cities and possibly driving a death proof 1970 black Chevy Nova, helping random people on the way and laying waste to any zombies that got too close.

JRL says:

Two words:

THE ZOMBIEWACKER.

Designed much like the common garden “Weed-wacker”, the Zombiewacker is proficient of slicing threw thick and heavy resistance with ease. Rotating at twelve-thousand RPMs, the Zombiewacker is capable of thrashing upwards of seven thousand zombies per minute. Twenty-four thousand pounds of torque, combined with one hundred twenty eight feet of high grade steel cable wire, prove too powerful for almost anything within its sixteen foot radius. Killing zombies is of little effort for this menacing device. The high grade stainless steel cable wire can slice through dead flesh as easily as a sword through butter. Built just short of indestructible, these mechanical octopi provide an excellent solution for perimeter defense against heavy resistance. The Zombiewacker’s twenty horsepower motor can mow zombies for more than 8 hours continuously, when used with a motion sensors for more efficient use, the Zombiewacker can stand guard for over a week without refuelling.

Yes, The Zombiewacker. Give the gift of death to the undead.

Oh, and I have over 1000 hours logged on call of duty. Bang Bang Mother Fuckers!


The Masked Critic Says:

The zombie apocalypse is a difficult thing to prepare for, the dead could come at night, during the day, or even at dawn (and more often than not, it will be in 3D).

Aside from gathering non-perishable food and as much water has possible, The most important aspect in surviving a zombie attack is having a cool mêlée weapon. Baseball bat, golf club, crow bar, frying pan, chainsaw, broadsword, and a broken pool cue, are all perfectly fine examples for weapons suitable for your survival.

Second, you need to gather a small group of survivors to assist when the number of zombies gets to overwhelming. Each needs to have different short & long range weapons. Don’t waste ammunition with body shots, head shorts are crucial to survival.

You will need a place to hole up. One should avoid heavily populated areas. If the zombies can spread their virus, curse or disease, a densely populated area will be more of a breeding ground than a safe haven. You want an area that affords quick exits and good protection for you and your group of survivors. This safe haven should have a limited number of entrances and exits, all which should be heavy fortified.

Always stay informed. Watch news reports and listen to the radio. In addition to the Emergency Response Message, you should hear information about the spread of the undead, reports of safe areas and suggestions as to what survivors should do. You'll need a radio that can run on batteries and solar power if possible.

Be aware of the fellow survivors in your group – there is always one that has already been bitten and it is just a matter of time before they turn.

When the dead finally rise from the graves, you alone are the only one you can truly depend on you’re your survival. Emotions and stress will run high; you must remain level headed and think about what’s best for you. If Hollywood has taught me anything, during the zombie apocalypse, you WILL be required to shoot your best friend or loved one. You MUST be prepared to commit to this action.

Ultimately, when the living dead are populating the world, I say we just hole up in the Winchester, barricade the door, knock back a few drinks and wait for the whole thing to blow over. How's THAT for a slice of fried gold?

PS. People I want in my survival group:

- Alice (from Resident Evil)

- Shawn (from Shawn of the dead)

- Ash (from Evil Dead)

- Batman (from the comic)

- A Shark (from the ocean)

- Chantale & Angie (from the internet)
