Alex Cox’s movies just know they are cool.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service | Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

That one time there was an Australian James Bond.

Monday 5/1 

HFC Presents: Ravenous | at Hotel Vegas 

This is one of my favorite movies. I love the blend of horror and comedy and the soundtrack is by Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz.

Editor’s note: And Michael Nyman.

It’s really your own fault if you’re not ready for X.
