Taste of Cinema has “The 75 Best Neo-Noir Movies of All Time”

bryancyr Best of Lists, Movie, Neo-Noir, News

Taste of Cinema put together a best of list that will cause many to argue over what is on the list and what is not. Sure I have a few movies I’m surprised didn’t make the list, but I also found quite a few I have not seen yet. Worst case scenario you should find some films you want to revisit or some you’ve never seen that you may want to add to your queue. What is the one movie that did not make this list you feel should be on it?

I came across this trailer this morning.  This film Legend is written and directed by neo-noir great Brian Helgeland and starring Tom Hardy as identical twin brothers who happen to be gangsters. This is based on real life gangsters Ronald and Reginald Kray.  Looks like an amazing film to look forward to later this year.  What do you think?

It looks like we are one step closer to bringing Hap and Leonard to the small screen.  I mentioned this possibility in my recent review of Joe Lansdale book and the movie Cold in July, and now we are getting more good news on the series.  Read all the details here:

Production on a 2 part Luther special is coming to BBC!  It has started filming in London and will be on BBC in the fall, hopefully this means on BBC America as well.  Both Idris Elba and creator Neil Cross are involved.  Hopefully this doesn’t mean we are not getting the planned feature film, but it will obviously delay that.  If you have not seen this television series I highly recommend that you do.  There is also a book that is a prequel to the show, written by Neil Cross(I have not read the book yet, but look forward to doing so soon).  The book is what the basis of the movie will be.  Check out more details here:

New Movie Coming Soon: Man from Reno

bryancyr Movie, Neo-Noir, News

Man from Reno is a film that has been going around the festival circuit and picking up some awards.  Was nominated for the John Cassavetes Award at the Independent Spirit Awards this year.  Looks like a promising film, can’t wait to see it.  Will be in select theaters on March 27th. Unfortunately, I doubt any of those theaters will be in my area.  I will be looking for it on DVD or PPV.

Bad news for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fans.

We know we are getting a new book in August, but it looks like we are a long ways away from getting a new movie.  According to E! who got to talk to Rooney Mara, said “I don’t think it’s going to happen,”.  Read the full article here:

According to Time Magazine  and the Guardian, a new book in the Millennium Trilogy is coming, I guess it isn’t a Trilogy anymore.  Here is the link to the Guardian article:

Do you like this idea?  Do you think a new book with Lisbeth not written by Stieg Larsson is something you would check out?  Let me know in the comments below.
