Film critic Brian Tallerico made a list entitled
"The Ten Greatest Films of Steven Soderbergh"
and placed The Argentine and Guerrilla ("Che")
at number 6 while Traffic is at number 2 on said list.
Here's what Mr. Tallerico had to say about "Che":
"Oh, Che. The lengthy, heated debates I've gotten into
about Soderbergh's epic about the failure of revolution
are one of the reasons I love it. When someone tells
me they hated Che, I smile. It's one of the few films
of the last few years that I think is honestly worthy of
discussion. You were bored during the second half
of Che? What if you were supposed to be? It's a film
about the fizzling out of the passion required for
revolutionary action. I think Che is remarkable in its
construct with each driven action of the first half
matched by apathetic failure in the second half.
With Benicio Del Toro giving arguably the best
performance in all of the Soderbergh films (if it's
not this one it's probably the one he gave in Traffic),
I find Che mesmerizing. With critics and movie goers
constantly telling me that they wish more filmmakers
would take honest risks, I feel like we need to support
experiments like Che. You say Che was a difficult film?
What if it was supposed to be? Shouldn't the life of
someone as complex as Che Guevara be more
than disposable entertainment?"

Last September 14th, the New Beverly hosted
a double feature bill of John Landis' classic
An American Werewolf In London along
with the documentary Beware The Moon:
Remembering An American Werewolf In London.
On hand for the Q & A session was Rick Baker
and once questions went to the audience, the subject
of The Wolfman was literally the first thing asked about.
Mr. Baker said "I actually think the new Wolfman is
going to be really cool. I'm serious. It was hell to make
and it was very difficult, but I think it's going to be really
neat. I saw an earlier version of it and I was quite excited
by it. It's an old school gothic horror movie,
which is what got me in the business."

Universal Orlando's plans for its annual
Halloween Horror Nights this year include
Ripped From the Silver Screen, a series of
live shows and haunted houses that celebrate
both new and classic horror films. The event will
promote the launch of The Wolfman, among others.
For the first time in Universal's 19 years of
Halloween Horror Nights, guests will be able
to "relive" two films that are yet to be released
in theaters (The Wolfman and Saw VI).
"Halloween Horror Nights is the perfect launch
for The Wolfman," says producer Scott Stuber.
"The horror audience is one of the most enthusiastic
and loyal, so we are pleased they [will] experience
it first at Halloween Horror Nights."
