Rani Mukherjee's Dreams Come True In The Latest Clip From AIYYAA

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 09:30 PM PDT

I can't honestly say that the upcoming film from first time Hindi director Sachin Kundalkar, Aiyyaa, is particularly Twitch-y looking material, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look like a shitload of fun!Aiyyaa is the story of Meenakshi Deshpande (Rani Mukherjee), a southern masala enthusiast who tries to live her life like the characters in the films she loves so much. She laughs big, she cries big, she does everything big, and when it's time to get her married off, she won't settle for anything other that her ideal film hero. In this case that hero is Surya, played by hunky Malayalam film icon Prithviraj. Meenakshi is lured in by his entoxicating musk and follows her nose around hoping desperately to nab Surya for...

YOU'RE NEXT Dynamic Duo Hit The Dance Floor DEAD SPY RUNNING

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 09:00 PM PDT

Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett are no strangers to us here at Twitch. Already darlings of the American horror scene with output like Popskull and A Horrible Way to Die, the world really began to take notice last year when their film You're Next stormed into the Midnight Madness program at TIFF. Since then they worked on V/H/S and are back in town for the world premiere of The ABCs of Death here at TIFF. But it appears that they will make a slight detour from horror and take an international romp to defeat terrorism and spin some wax in between! Wingard and Barrett have been tasked with the adaptation of Jon Stock's Dead Spy Running. Based on the series of novels by Jon Stock,...

TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D Has A Trailer. That Fades to Black. A Lot.

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

In January 2013, a new chapter will be added to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, with this particular title dropping the Massacre but adding 3D. Instead of a reboot of the original story or a remake of the 1986 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, this one goes in an entirely different direction. Check this synopsis: Lionsgate's Texas Chainsaw 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following...

Review: FROM UP ON POPPY HILL is a Nice Enough Ghibli Film (Reel Anime 2012)

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT

From Up On Poppy Hill, from Studio Ghibli, is a high school love story that take place in the year before the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Umi, a junior year student, falls for the dashing and rambunctious Shun. They are brought together by a project to repair the old Latin Quarter, a dilapidated but impressive building. Together they face the challenge to keep the building from being demolished as part of the Olympics 'clean-up Japan' movement, as well as uncovering truths about their respective lineage along the way. Goro, son of Hayao Miyazaki, has crafted this pleasant slice of life, with an undercurrent of drama and obvious riffs on Ghibli's true to life features, such as Only Yesterday and Ocean Waves. The location feels familiar;...

TIFF 2012 Review: THE LORDS OF SALEM Is a Slick Satanic Head Trip

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 04:30 PM PDT

It appears that Rob Zombie may have been studying up on his David Lynch lately as the metal-head-turned-filmmaker's latest is more head trip than it is horror. That's not to say The Lords of Salem doesn't have plenty of scares, but only a few of them come from cheap "gotcha" moments. This makes the film Zombie's most mature directorial work to date and a very enjoyable midnight entry. The story revolves around Heidi, a popular radio DJ in modern day Salem played by Sheri Moon Zombie. Always on the lookout for new talent, Heidi finds more than she's looking for when an LP shows up at her door by a band called The Lords. The groovy tracks transfix Heidi and start to drive her...

TIFF 2012 Review: PENANCE Is A Soapy But Intense Study Of Grief

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 04:00 PM PDT

Losing a child is the worst possible fear of any parent, losing their child by violence the worst possible iteration of that fear. And so it is that Asako is consumed by grief and anger when her young daughter Emili is taken and killed while playing with four of her young friends. Unable to believe or accept that the four girls either did not see the face of Emili's killer or cannot describe him, Asako lays a hard charge upon them. She will hold them guilty and unforgiven for their entire lives unless they perform some sort of penance to her satisfaction. It is a curse of sorts, one that will warp each of their lives.After several long years away from the genre territory which...

Aamir Khan's TALAASH Resurfaces With A New Trailer After An Eventful Summer

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 02:30 PM PDT

Bollywood's box office is ruled by a triumvirate of actors whose films make up the vast bulk of the biggest earners of all time. The three kings are Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir Khan. Shah Rukh is the romance king, Salman the action king, and Aamir is the perfectionist and prestige king. Because Aamir is such a perfectionist, his films are fewer and farther between these days, but if you look at the all time box office champs, his last film, 3 Idiots, and the one before that, Ghajini, are in the top five. Needless to say, whenever Aamir Khan finds a project that he wants to get on the big screen, both critics and film fans take note. The latest film project to catch...

TIFF 2012 Review: MOTORWAY Speeds Down a Divided Highway

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 02:00 PM PDT

It was way back in September 2009 when we first reported that director Soi Cheang would be following up his award-winning film Accident with a car chase action thriller entitled Motorway. Fast-forward 18 months and a trailer for the film surfaced and we began looking to summer 2011 for the film's release. But nothing materialised. Not for an entire year. Not until now. There have been rumours of rewrites, reshoots, numerous re-edits and even a second composer brought on board, as Cheang and Producer Johnnie To wrestled with the unwieldy beast to bring a version of Motorway to our screens. In the interim, a little film called Drive - starring Ryan Gosling as an uber-cool Hollywood getaway driver - surfaced at Cannes, bagged the...

L'Etrange 2012 Review: THE OUTING Delivers Thrilling Mixture of Hitchcock and Brothers Grimm

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 12:10 PM PDT

Two things become immediately clear in Mathieu Seiler's suspenseful adult fairy tale, The Outing: First, that this isn't going to be your average lost-in-the-woods horror movie. From the colorful opening credits, which pay equal homage to Saul Bass and vintage Giallo films, to the seemingly banal family conversations dominating the first 10 minutes, there's a subtle sense of fantasy and menace lurking beneath the surface of every frame and in between every line of dialogue. It immediately puts the audience off-balance and creates a sense that anything might happen. The second thing quickly made clear is that Seiler is a director completely in control of his material, one who can masterfully juggle multiple moods. Throughout the film he jumps from whimsy to wonder to comedy...

TIFF 2012 Review: COME OUT AND PLAY Drops the Ball

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 11:20 AM PDT

A textbook case of a remake failing to improve on a classic original, Come Out And Play not only loses the context of the hidden Narciso Ibáñez Serrador directed gem, which was released on the heels of the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge atrocities in East Timor in 1976, but also sacrifices key exposition and motivation of the characters in favour of a more hand-held, documentary-like style.  Other than a missing prologue and a swapping of Spain for Mexico, it is a shot for shot remake of Who Can Kill a Child?, only with poorer actors. It also demonstrates how tone and editing, when off by the barest of whispers, can break a film in terms of audience goodwill or suspension of disbelief. I...

TIFF 2012 Review: A HIJACKING Is A Gritty Anti-Thriller

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:01 AM PDT

The crew of the freighter MV Rozen are in trouble. En route to Mumbai to take on cargo and fresh crew the cargo vessel has been boarded by Somali pirates, seized by a dangerous and unpredictable armed gang who demand millions from the Rozen's owners to secure the safe release of ship and crew. The process will stretch over months, the lives of the crew hanging in a tenuous balance throughout while the CEO of their company negotiates for their safe release back home.Though A Hijacking marks the solo directing debut of Tobias Lindholm the young writer-director is already regarded as one of the brightest young talents in Denmark and all of Europe. As a writer Lindholm is a key player in hugely acclaimed Danish...

Review: ARBITRAGE Finds Gere's Stock Rising

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 08:15 AM PDT

They say cinematic trends are a snapshot of our times, and that certainly seems to be the case with the uptick of financial services dramas we've seen of late. Last year it was J.C. Chandor's Margin Call which made a splash at Sundance and has shown some decent legs at the specialty box office. That spot this year is being filled by Arbitrage, Nicholas Jarecki's hedge fund crime thriller. While it stops short of being insightful commentary on the plight of the 99%, it does provide Richard Gere with the meatiest role he's had in years. It's a task he is more than apt to tackle, piloting the picture through its intense script towards potential awards consideration. Gere plays Robert Miller, a Wall Street oracle...

New Trailer to Vincent Kok's LOVE IS... PYJAMAS Is Pants. No, Seriously.

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 07:45 AM PDT

"Men are brothers! Women are laundry!"So goes one of the many pearls of wisdom in Hong Kong director Vincent Kok's new romantic comedy, the bizarrely titled Love Is... Pyjamas. It appears from this rather perplexing, if enthusiastic trailer that Ronald Cheng plays a TV relationship guru who imparts pearls of wisdom on his female audience about how to best treat their men. "As clothes", seems to be his advice. Nope, I'm not entirely sure what he means by that either, but no doubt I'll be watching the film when it opens in Hong Kong on 11 October. Cheng stars alongside Teresa Mo, Raymond Lam, Lynn Xiong, Karena Ng, Raymond Wong - and rather unwisely, Ronald Cheng appears in Blackface at one point. No doubt all will be...

Review: RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION Dares to be Anemic and Shallow

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 06:45 AM PDT

Since Resident Evil: Retribution starts with a slow-motion battle scene shown in reverse, the easy joke to make is something about how the franchise is moving backwards. Usually it's best to avoid the easy jokes, but this film is such a lazy, uncreative, wheel-spinning debacle that to write a clever review of it would almost be inappropriate. If the movie's not going to put forth any effort, why should I? The fifth entry in the perplexingly profitable video-game-based series, once again written and directed by franchise mastermind and renowned terrible filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson, has the thinnest story so far. That is perhaps why the 95-minute film starts with a credit sequence, a recap, and a simulation zombie attack -- all totaling 15 minutes --...
