Warning: Trailer contains cartoon nudity!!! Jeż Jerzy, or George the Hedgehog, which I'll refer to from now on is a comic book from Polish creators Rafał Skarżycki and Tomasz Leśniak. In 2011 a animated movie was made that featured the titular character George the Hedgehog. George the Hedgehog tells a story where two neo-Nazis and a mad scientist create a clone of the character (George) in an attempt to defeat him. Sounds funky, eh? According to wikipedia, "The film's plot is a compilation of various stories from all of the Jeż Jerzy's comic albums except the newest (Jeż Jerzy: Musi umrzeć), which was published after the script was written." Sounds like an interesting comic book and judging by the trailer for the movie this is definitely rated R Cast Borys Szyc as George the Hedgehog Maria Peszek as Yola Sokół as Stefan Michał Koterski as Zenek Wojtek Wawszczyk as the clone...

The film program at South By Southwest (SXSW) has really come into its own over the past few years -- SXSW is becoming an impressive little film fest in addition to being a massive music party. The lineups for Midnight features and shorts have been announced, and there are some good premieres in there. Attack the Block, from Joe Cornish, will have a world premiere, while Hobo With a Shotgun and James Wan's Insidious will show up as well. And the films that most of us haven't heard of sound pretty great, too. If I was at the fest I'd have my ass planted in a seat for every one of these at midnight. Screw the parties -- the crazy genre films are the way to go. The fill list of features is after the break. The shorts program is massive, and you can find it at the SXSW website [1].
