Trailer/Posters for 'Womb'

Terribly on-the-nose title but with a premise you can chew on: A woman loses her lover in a car accident and decides to clone him. She carries the embryo to term, gives birth to him, and raises him as her son.

Wrapped in 2010 and released in Germany that year, then the UK in August 2011. Scheduled for some kind of U.S. release March 30.

With Eva Green and Matt Smith.

If the plot holds together, this strikes me as a good existentialist rental.



Here's the domestic poster.

And, the UK poster, which is certainly too too for a US theater to have in the lobby.

They Don't Call Him Bond For Nothing

Here's a very British look at Bond:

As far as Bond's erotic life goes, the movie retains one important element from Fleming's 1953 novel: Bond gets tortured - in the nude! - by Le Chiffre, who whips his scrotum with knotted rope after commenting that he has "looked after his body". It's a gamey scene that has caused generations of Bond readers to nurse and then uneasily suppress certain wonderings about the nature of 007's fanbase. These wonderings will not, I have to say, be quashed by Daniel Craig's pert swimming costume. But Craig strikes some very erotic sparks from Vesper Lynd, with some loaded bantering over dinner in a first-class railway compartment, and finally, from him, a dead-straight passionate declaration of love. Sweetly, Bond doesn't have sex with anyone else in the film. Vesper is to break his heart, though, and the movie cleverly shows that all Bond's mannerisms and steely reserve grow from this prehistory of doomed romance.

It is all ridiculously enjoyable, because the smirking and the quips and the gadgets have been cut back - and the emotion and wholesome sado-masochism have been pumped up.
