Are You Tired of the Expected?

This is a real movie and it's coming to a theater near you in April.  At least I think it's a real movie.  It does open on April Fool's Day but has already been shown at Cannes... where it received less than glowing reviews.  I hope this wave of grindhouse influenced films continues as directors take their cues from Tarantino, Rodriguez, and Zombie and create their own completely ludicrous yet intriguing movies.  Hobo with a Shotgun is another grindhouse throwback that comes out this spring.

Rubber is about a homicidal car tire named Robert that meanders through the California desert slaughtering people with its psychic powers.  Apparently, there's also a love affair involving Robert although I'm not sure how that would work.  Who could love a maniacal tire?

The trailer will give you an idea of what to expect.  Of course, I'm going to see it.
