(G)13 Cinematic Stoners Whose Names Aren’t “Harold” or “Kumar”

April 21, 2008 /

With the premiere of “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay” looming on the horizon (it arrives in theaters on April 25th), we here at Bullz-Eye found ourselves considering some of our other favorites who’ve fired up on film over the years. Originally, we were going to have 15 entries, but after we hit 13 we just didn’t have the energy to do much of anything except lie on the couch and scarf some munchies. Go figure. In the end, though, we realized that all we had to do was slap a “G” in front of the number, and we had ourselves an instant tribute to the most legendary strain of cannabis in history. (It’s killer stuff, man. Not that we’ve had it ourselves, y’know, but Lester Burnham swears by it, and that’s good enough for us.)

Just click on the graphic to take a trip over to the piece, man…

A Chat with Adrian Paul (“Highlander: The Source”)

March 6, 2008 /

Although he’s been bouncing around Hollywood as far back as 1987, when he played Kolya ‘Nikolai’ Rostov on the “Dynasty” spin-off, “The Colbys,” it’s fair to say that Adrian Paul is more often remembered for his role as Duncan McLeod in the “Highlander” saga. After quite a few episodes of the TV series and a feature film, Paul took a break from the “Highlander” universe for several years, but he returned at long last for last year’s “Highlander: The Source,” which turned up on the Sci-Fi Channel and has recently seen DVD release. We spoken to Paul about his experiences in making the film (and whether there’ll be any more), his thoughts on longtime “Highlander” producer Bill Panzer, why his other sci-fi series, “Tracker,” never really took off, and what he’s been working on recently.

Adrian Paul: Hi Will.

Bullz-Eye: Hey Adrian, how’s it going?

AP: Good, good.

BE: So how hard was it to step back into the shoes of Duncan MacLeod after a few years?

AP: It was interesting. It was a different time, too, you know, and they wanted a slightly different type of character; you know, a little darker. But, you know, it’s fine, and you can do that because you know the values of the character; you kind of step back into it and try and find new stuff. So what with the old and the new stuff, you hopefully have a character with some new twists.

BE: Was it painful to lose your katana after all these years?

AP: (Laughs) No. The thing was, I think nothing’s lost, y’know? I mean, we know where it’s buried! But I love the katana. I love tai chi and working with the katana; I find it a very malleable type of weapon. But I do like using other weapons, too, and we wanted to sort of give it a whole different type of flavor. So we tried it, and even though a lot of the fights were sped up…which wasn’t my idea…we had some really interesting fights. The thing was that we actually tried a whole bunch of different types of weapons and stuff so that we’d have a roundabout look on it, but we didn’t know what we were facing when it comes to visual effects. That was an unknown quantity to us, so all we could do was choreograph it and hope for the best.

A Chat with Rory Cochrane

February 2, 2008 /

You probably know Rory Cochrane, even if you don’t think you do. His longest and most high-profile gig was serving as a member of the “CSI: Miami” team as Tim Speedle, but prior to that, he’d already earned the status of cult icon by playing the stoned-as-shit Slater in “Dazed and Confused,” as well as the monetarily-challenged Lucas in “Empire Records.” Since departing “CSI: Miami” of his own free will, Cochrane has kept busy with the occasional film; we spoke to him on the occasion of the DVD release of the disconcertingly-real thriller, “Right At Your Door,” and we took the opportunity to ask him about how much of a toll the filming of the movie took on him, why he left a sweet gig on a weekly TV series, and…well, frankly, we spent most of the time just trying to get him to give us answers of more than a word or two. (Nice guy, that Rory, but not one to give you essay-length responses.)

Rory Cochrane: Hello?

Bullz-Eye: Hi, may I speak to Rory?

RC: Yes.

BE: Hey, this is Will.

RC: How are you doing, Will?

BE: Pretty good. How are you?

RC: All right.

BE: Actually, I tried you a few minutes ago, but I figured you were still on the last interview maybe,

RC: Oh, yeah? I didn’t hear it beep.

BE: Not a problem. So…”Right at Your Door.” Very intense flick. I hadn’t actually seen it until they sent me the DVD – it never played in my area – but it’s great.

RC: Oh, well, I’m glad you liked it.

BE: Definitely. It’s part disaster movie, part horror movie, with a thread of romance running through it. How was it to shoot?

RC: Very grueling…and intense, you know? I’m sort of glad that it was only…that we shot it in twenty days. Which is a good thing, because I would probably have had to check myself into some sort of institution afterwards if it had went any longer.

BE: Yeah, it’s a little dark.

RC: Yeah.

BE: How did you get involved in it in the first place?

GQ picks the Ten Best Guy Films You’ve Never Seen

January 30, 2008 /

It’s Oscar season, and most people are out catching up on nominated flicks like “No Country for Old Men” and “Michael Clayton” (both of which come highly recommended from Bullz-Eye’s own critics). The guys over at GQ, however, have decided to branch out and nominate some of the best films that any self-respecting man needs to see, but probably never have, and they’ve come up with a great list.

Don’t worry. You’re not going to find movies like “Rambo” and “Animal House” here, but more obscure (and mostly foreign) guy films that, while you may have never heard of before, are definitely worth your time. I’ve only seen four of the 10 films myself, but if the others are of the same quality, then you should definitely add these titles to your Netflix queue ASAP. I’m not going to ruin any of the picks here (though you may be able to guess one from the image to the right), so be sure to head over to GQ.com and check out the list for yourself.

That Elaine Hendrix is so darned nice…

January 26, 2008 /

Given how busy the holidays were, you may or may not have even noticed when I posted a review of “The Munsters’ Scary Little Christmas,” but if you did, you might recall that I allotted a fair amount of the text to assuring people that the short skirts worn by Marilyn Munster – played by Elaine Hendrix, seen to your left – were just about enough reason to check out the film, even though it didn’t feature any of the original cast.

At the time, I dropped Ms. Hendrix an E-mail, asking if she could offer any reminiscences from her experience on the flick, but I didn’t hear anything and, well, I didn’t lose any sleep over it. Again, holidays are busy, people get caught up in their own goings-on, not a big deal.

Last night, however, I got a very belated but also very apologetic response from Elaine:

Oh, darn it, Will. I get these e-mails so late, and it doesn’t look like my assistant responded. I would have loved to give you some info on it. Please keep (my publicist) in the loop, and we’ll do the same with you for upcoming projects. I hope you were kind to “Marilyn” in the review. 🙂

It was a great project for 3 reasons –

1. Befriending Ann Magnuson
2. Shooting in Australia
3. Working on yet another cult classic franchise.

Thank you! Hope all is well.

Happy new year,

Elaine
