Our First Blog-A-Thon



We are very excited.  Beginning next week, we will be contributing to the SCENES OF THE CRIME BLOG-A-THON.  We will be helping to create a definitive list of what crime movies are and aren't worth watching.  Expect us to shift our focus at least a little instead of mixing it up like we have been starting just after Christmas.  Please feel free to suggest movies you'd like us to take on.

Love,
Man Movie Guide

Should Be...: Hotline Miami

Courtesy of dreamcaster

We know, right?  We are only a few chapters into this game and it was so awesome we just had to share it.  This game sports a soundtrack that at times sounds like Animal Collective, chillwave, and retro synth a la Kavinsky.

The aesthetic is an acid trip take on 80s with a mean streak of ultraviolence.  Think the movie Drive as interpreted by a mental ward for the criminally insane.

And that's why we already, only 30 minutes into the game, think it would make for an incredible movie.  You are some anonymous schlub in a letterman jacket who can sport a variety of creepy animal masks that give you different abilities.  You single-handedly take on scores of white-suited thugs in a bloodbath that requires speed, reflexes, and timing in much the same way as any number of uber difficult 8-bit games from the NES/Master System era:  One hit and you're dead.  Use a gun instead of a bat or pipe and it warns every bad guy in the area.  Knock a guy out with a punch and he'll get up and kill you with the weapon he dropped.  It's a gratifying game and it just keeps on being its awesomely, unapologetically surreal and bloody self.

Quick note to any producers or screenwriters in our readership: Jump on this shit now!  It won't cost much money to film, and it is guaranteed a cult following if you stay true to the source material.

P.S. There is a link below if you'd like to buy this bad boy.  We recommend you do so immediately.

Ghana Movie Posters

          So we've decided to take a little break from original content to be lazy.  What we're giving you instead are some amazing works of art!  These little beauties are hand-painted promotional posters for movies in the African nation of Ghana.  If you'd like to learn more about how this little incidental art movement started up, look at another site (no really, there are several resources available on the interwebs!).  Probably the best place to look is where we found many of these pictures, Ghana Movie Posters... you can even buy some of the originals there!

          And since Halloween is just around the corner, we thought we'd select a few with a more-horror-than-Man-Movie slant... but most of them are pretty damn manly.
