The Mad Max Video Game - Stronghold Trailer

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Avalanche Studios today released the
Mad Max Stronghold Trailer giving a glimpse into the various fortified outposts, or strongholds, located throughout the open world of the post-apocalyptic Wasteland.

In the new trailer, Max visits some of the game's diverse strongholds and encounters a number of intriguing characters, including Jeet, Gutgash, Pink Eye and Deep Friah. In a world where Max faces both his internal and external enemies, these strongholds hold the pieces essential to the puzzle he tries to solve. Max will need to make some uneasy alliances as he prepares to take on merciless Wasteland tyrant, Scrotus. ...Yes. They named the bad guy Scrotus.

Bellflower Hits DVD and Blu-ray

On Idle Hands, we talk about an eclectic array of topics, but from a larger view, you are looking at the inside of the mind of the average geek. Most of us like toys, video games, comic books, horror movies, indie films, nerdy television and so and and so forth. Often, when a movie is making a lot of noise on the indie film fest circuit, we make a mention and a note and then we go quiet. Why? Because most of us won't be able to see the damn thing until it comes on on DVD and Blu-ray! This...is one of those times.

Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. All their free time is spent building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang "Mother Medusa". While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love. Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.

This movie is sweet and funny and ridiculous and psychotic all at once...just like most of our lives. The content is starkly real and yet, obviously amplified to the nth degree. After all, most of us have had a bad break up in our lives but how many of you then jumped into your fire belching muscle car for a joy ride to help you forget about it? Bellflower has no shortage of style and vision and past all that, will win you over on charm alone. CLICK HERE to scoop it up today!!

We took some time to talk with writer/director/actor Evan Glodell (who needs to watch Robocop already) and cast members Jessie Wiseman (who shares my fear of movie Smurfs) & Tyler Dawson (who rolls a mean cigarette) to talk about love, life, psychotic romances, Lord Humungous, crying in the editing room and how Mel Gibson's hair would stack up in a battle-to-the-death cage match against Nick Cage's hair. Two hair enter...1 hair leave.


Bellflower Interviews: On Love, Evil Women & Mel... by Nomadixxx

This... Is Bellflower

Bellflower. The touching love story of a man and a woman having the time of their hipsterific lives until they want to tear each other's eyes out. This is also the story of a man and his best friend and their dream of building a flamethrower and Mad Max-esque muscle car to compliment it so they might be ready for the inevitable apocalypse. At the very least, this is the story of Us. ..the geek Us.

Best friends Woodrow and Aiden spend all of their free time building Mad Max-inspired flamethrowers and muscle cars in preparation for a global apocalypse. But when Woodrow meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love, he and Aiden quickly integrate into a new group of friends, setting off on a journey of love and hate, betrayal, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.

Rarely can we see a movie so hysterical and sad and violent and tense and awesome all at the same time. While some films strive to be timeless, Bellflower mirrors a very specific minute in an hour of the life we are living right now. It's a scream of anguish and a satisfying punch through a sheet rock wall on an intolerably hot summer's day.



The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, August 5th, 2011. National rollout to follow. It would be nothing short of amazing to get a movie like this playing alongside the vacuous summer blockbusters, so tell a friend and let's make it happen!
