Were Those T-Rexes Doing It? Werner Herzog Narrates DINOTASIA!

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 09:00 PM PDT

Before it's due out on DVD/Blu-ray on November 6, Dinotasia will have a one-week theatrical run at the IFC Center in New York from October 26 to November 1. The film is co-directed by long-time Herzog collaborator/producer Erik Nelson and Disney character designer David Krentz (John Carter and Dinosaur). A love letter to fans of graphic novel-style film vignettes and classic film animation, DINOTASIA gives one of our favorite natural history subjects a makeover like never before, told in a purely visual style not seen since the classic era of silent filmmaking or the pioneering early work of Walt Disney Studios. Based on current research findings from recent paleontology studies, DINOTOSIA uses groundbreaking CGI to bring to magnificent, terrifying life many creatures that have been discovered in the past 10...

Blu-ray Review: TERROR TRAIN (Scream Factory)

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:30 PM PDT

Terror Train is one of those early slashers that most casual films fans know more from the iconic poster/VHS artwork than from the actual movie. The creepy big-nosed mask and giant carving knife are a scary sight, especially to those predisposed to coulrophobia. What lurks beneath that creepy exterior is a surprisingly effective little horror film, something I never would've imagined. Having clawed my way through dozens, maybe hundreds, of horror films since my early teenage years, I've become accustomed to disappointment. Thankfully, Terror Train packs a really tight, claustrophobic story into a well-paced little package. Thank jeebus for Scream Factory making the extra effort to bring this film to special edition Blu-ray and DVD, it's definitely worth it.The film opens with a fraternity gag involving...

DVD Review: STARSUCKERS Obsesses Over the Media's Preoccupation With Celebrities

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:01 PM PDT

Buried deep within Chris Atkins' Starsuckers, gems of reportorial excellence gleam brightly. Atkins and his team employed hidden cameras to capture representatives of British tabloids agreeing to break agreed-upon industry standards for the sake of celebrity "scoops." It is eye-opening to see how willing the tabloids are to sacrifice profesional integrity. To get to that point, however, one must sit through a banal, self-congratulatory, self-righteous "exposé" boldly declaring that celebrities, fame-seekers, and the media in general are all evil, and you are, too, even if you deny any interest in celebrity culture, because you can't be trusted, either. Atkins builds his case one random brick at a time, using an irritating voice-over narration to represent the media: 'We do this, and we do that, and...

Dystopian Western THE ROVER Takes Shape As Casting Call Reveals More

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 07:30 PM PDT

If you're not Baz Luhrmann or George Miller you can pretty much get away with making a movie out in the Australian boondocks without too much unwanted attention from paparazzi or fans. (Although random pot smokers are hard to pin down, as the Snowtown crew discovered.) Of course, as director David Michôd and his production team are finding out, all this changes once you cast Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson in one of your main roles. So it is for The Rover, Michôd's hotly anticipated follow up to Animal Kingdom, of which little is known besides it being a gritty western set in the Australian outback in a dystopian near future. Guy Pearce stars as a man in relentless pursuit of a gang of thieves who stole his beloved...

CAMERAMAN GANGA THO RAMBABU Brings Together Power Star Pawan Kalyan And Puri Jagannadh October 18th

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 06:00 PM PDT

With his latest major hit, Dabangg remake Gabbar Singh, only a few months behind him, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is gearing up for his next potential blockbuster on October 18th. Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is the latest feature from this major Telugu box office draw and director Puri Jagannadh, and it looks like pretty standard fare, unfortunately. While Kalyan has a major hit on his tail, Jagannadh is bouncing back from a relative disappointment in his last feature Devudu Chesina Manushulu, so it'll be interesting to see how this film fares.Pawan Kalyan has something of a hot streak over the last couple of years. He appears to be Telugu cinema's golden boy at the moment with three consecutive blockbuster hits going back to Panjaa last...

EXCLUSIVE Clip from French Thriller THE UNLIKELY GIRL

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:30 PM PDT

After its world premier at the Vancouver International Film Festival last week, director Wei Ling Chang's first feature film The Unlikely Girl is set to have a US premier at the Woodstock Film Festival in Woodstock, NY.Shot entirely on location in France, the film is a tricky, taut and subtly sexy thriller - think (a refreshingly far less clichéd) Wild Things by way of Swimming Pool. The film stars Hande Kodja and Pierre Boulanger, and marks the feature film debut of Shane Lynch (90210), the daughter of actress Kelly Lynch. Check out this exclusive clip of The Unlikely Girl. This suspenseful film noir(ish) will be having its final screening at VIFF on October 11, and can be seen at the Woodstock Film Fest on October 12 and...

NYFF 2012 Review: LEVIATHAN Explores Depth of Audio/Visual Experience

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:00 PM PDT

It's dark. First, you hear the eerie clanking of metal and waves: sound of something heavy, something industrial getting pulled out of the bubbling sea. It's all abstract: saturated colors- iridescent blue, yellow, red and green all mixed in. It takes some time to realize that we are on a giant commercial fishing boat, and the crew are detangling an enormous chain that is connected to the fishing net. It's a tedious and also dangerous process by the looks of it. The whole scene reminds me of late Godard films where he manipulates his video image into an abstraction. This is just the beginning of Lucien Castraing Taylor and Verena Paravel's jaw dropping second feature, Leviathan. The images, shot entirely on tiny GoPro cameras, are...

Farrell, Walken, Rockwell, & McDonagh Talk SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:30 PM PDT

During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Twitch had a chance to sit down with the stars and director of the upcoming Seven Psychopaths. Here are some of the highlights: Twitch: Seven Psychopaths was a big hit with the midnight crowd at TIFF. How was it to sit and watch? Sam Rockwell: I was blown away. The midnight madness audience really helps. I was blown away. Martin McDonagh: It played great at midnight! There's something joyful about the film and something joyful about the reaction. Twitch: Any particular challenges in playing a character who is a psychopath? Christopher Walken: I wouldn't know how to play a psychopath. I don't think about it that way. You think about playing a scene. But if other people...

Fantasia Wants Your Movie!

Well, they may not want your movie, actually, but they at least want the chance to see it to make that decision! Yes, kids, Montreal's Fantasia Festival - the oldest and largest genre film event in North America and one of the largest in the world - has just issued their call for entries for their upcoming seventeenth edition in 2013.

THE DESCENDANTS Star Shailene Woodley In Talks For SPIDER-MAN 2

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:15 PM PDT

Is this the face of the new Mary Jane?Variety reports that The Descendants star Shailene Woodley is in talks to take on the role of Peter Parker's love interest Mary Jane in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Whether this means a rivalry with Emma Stone's Gwen Stacey or whether Parker will hold to his promise to Gwen's father is yet to be seen. For those who keep track of such things there is an eight year age gap between Andrew Garfield and Woodley in real life, which can be masked easily enough as long as Garfield maintains his baby face but before too long Sony is going to end up in the same situation they hit with Tobey Macguire: Their leading man being obviously...

Graham Reznick Introduces THE DESIGNER

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:00 PM PDT

While you may not recognize his name there is a very good chance you have been exposed to the work of Graham Reznick, particularly if you are at all a fan of the recent wave of American indie horror. A key player in Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix, Reznick has worked as sound designer on recent films such as House Of The Devil, Stakeland and The Innkeepers while also directing microbudget feature I Can See You and 3D short The Viewer. And now Reznick is gearing up a new project titled simply The Designer.Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix, the fiercely independent film company behind THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, THE COMEDY and TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE, has teamed up with Aphasiafilms, the creative brand...

"I'm Just A Man Hiding In The Corner With A Camera": Here's The Trailer For HITCHCOCK

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 01:30 PM PDT

In the works for quite some time, Hitchcock is director Sasha Gervasi's behind the scenes chronicle of seminal Hollywood horror flick Psycho. Our first real good look at what we can expect from the film comes to us today in the form of a trailer. Droll, a bit tongue-in-cheek with plenty of old guard studio glitz, the trailer rightfully focuses on Anthony Hopkins, who appears to be having a ball wielding the understated wit of the Master of Suspense himself. Check it out below. Also starring Helen Mirren as Hitch's wife Alma, and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, Hitchcock is set for limited release in the U.S. on November 23rd, and expands to European markets in early 2013.      ...

BREAKING: Rupert Sanders Circling Universal's Tom Cruise-Starring VAN HELSING

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 12:58 PM PDT

Director Rupert Sanders poses an interesting conundrum for the suits at Universal Pictures.On the one hand, Sanders turned in a successful debut picture for Universal with Snow White And The Huntsman, a film that may not have been a massive blockbuster success but certainly turned a tidy bit of business for the studio and teed up what could very well end up being a successful franchise. Clearly Sanders is someone Universal wants to keep in the fold.But then, on the other hand, there is Sanders' well publicized dalliance with Snow White star Kristen Stewart. And while it is nearly impossible to separate truth from pure gossip on that front when it comes to the sequel / spinoff, who will and won't star, who will and...

Tamil Dream Team Vijay & AR Murugadoss Bring You THUPAKKI

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 12:30 PM PDT

It's been a year since Tamil superstar director AR Murugadoss and superstar actor Vijay clashed at the box office on Diwali of 2011. AR Murugadoss' 7am Arivu was an ambitious critical failure/box office success while Vijay's Velayudham was a critic proof hit with the masses in rural Tamil Nadu. Neither film was particularly well-received, even though both were highly anticipated by fans and aficionados alike. This year they'll be meeting at the box office again, but as collaborators as AR Murugadoss directs Vijay in his latest film, Thupakki.This Diwali entry in the Tamil calendar has been, appropriately, the most anticipated film of the year for many fans. Murugadoss has a solid history of box office and critical successes, in spite of the hiccup of 7am...

VIFF 2012 Review: IF IT'S NOT NOW, THEN WHEN

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 12:00 PM PDT

The world can be a dull and sullen place. Movies of the mainstream variety offer an easy if not cathartic diversion from the humdrum with momentary distractions full of thrills, horrors and laughs where things happen for a reason. Festival films tend to be creatures of a different sort--still a form or escapism, but unafraid of dystopia in its unanswered forms. James Lee, one of the leading figures in new Malaysian film, is a director that spreads his artistic endeavors across the festival-mainstream lines. Lee is best known in his home country for his edgy genre films: from the full-tilt action of The Collector to the extreme horror of Histeria, not to mention his controversial and heavily censored Clay Pot Curry Killers. Festival goers are...

Win a Copy of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPIA SEASON 7 on DVD

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 11:30 AM PDT

It's the season where the gang settles old scores at their high school reunion. Where they get trapped in a closet. Where they hold a child beauty pageant. Where they learn that the Jersey Shore isn't just populated with gel-haired tan freaks, but wild dogs, and gun-toting PCP addicts. Ah, the payoff to the closet episode. If you've never watched this FX series, you really should, with its cast of near-sociopaths cutting a path of mayhem through Philly for no better reasons than boredom, spite, or sheer ignorance. And we've got two copies of the seventh season to give away, courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox. Here are the features you'll find on the disc: - Commentary on "THE GANG GOES TO THE JERSEY SHORE" featuring...

VIFF 2012 Dispatch: THE CAPSULE, A STORY FOR THE MODLINS, And MORNING OF ST ANTHONY'S DAY

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Though Athina Rachel Tsangari's short film The Capsule played third after two others, I'm reviewing it first as it was the title with which the other two were programmed (i.e. you show up to see a showing of The Capsule, and the other two are accompanying it--literally--as footnotes in the guide). I haven't seen Tsangari's feature Attenberg, which was extensively covered here on Twitch, nor any of her previous work. The Capsule, however, is evidence enough that she possesses a bold talent for stunning, unexpected and powerful imagery--and an expert knowledge of how to marry that imagery with haunting sound design in a manner which catches viewers off-guard, but keeps the figurative hooks in until the credits roll. This strange short sometimes falls too...

Crowd Funding Alert! Kustom Kulture Doc FLAKE & FLAMES Needs One Last Push!

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 10:30 AM PDT

We were the first to premiere that fantastic The Dude Designs poster art for upcoming Kustom Kulture documentary Flake & Flames, and now it's nearly time to put a bow on it, but not without a little help from you.The film's director, Dirk "Pixeleye" Behlau, has told us at Twitch that as close as they are, post-production funds are still needed and he's looking to the film fans of the world to help out. Flake & Flames is the first feature length Kustom Kulture documentary that I'm aware of and you can have a significant hand in getting it from the editing room to the big screen on the festival circuit. Donations are going to be accepted at any level, but the perks of donating...

Peter Stormare Invades China! It's The Trailer For Stephen Fung's TAI CHI HERO!

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 10:00 AM PDT

Stephen Fung's Tai Chi Zero was a blast of pure entertainment when it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, a glossy martial arts picture with tongue planted firmly in cheek that goes all out to simply entertain. Which it absolutely does.But for all its charms Tai Chi Zero also poses a problem for audiences in that it is literally half a film. Released in its native China in late September it tells only half of a story with the second half due to arrive on screens a month later with the Chinese theatrical release of the follow up - Tai Chi Hero - on October 25th. Tai Chi Zero audiences were treated to a trailer for the second part which plays over the credit...

Uma Thurman Joins Lars Von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 09:30 AM PDT

Uma Thurman is the latest high profile star to join the cast of Lars Von Trier's erotic drama Nymphomaniac, adding her name to a list that already includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Connie Nielsen, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell and Christian Slater.Reportedly being prepared in two versions - a 'safe' version and a fully explicit one - Nymphomaniac is currently shooting in Germany with, no doubt, an eye towards Cannes. NYMPHOMANIAC is the wild and poetic story of a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe. On a cold winter's evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman, finds Joe beaten up in an alleyway. He brings her home to his flat where he tends...

TROLLHUNTER Director Is ENORMOUS

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:30 AM PDT

Andre Ovredal doesn't think small. The Norwegian director burst on to the international stage with Trollhunter, a found footage style film that brought the folklore creatures to the big screen in spectacular fashion. And international hit, Trollhunter's success led to Ovredal fielding a number of offers for big Hollywood films - he's currently attached to the Chris Columbus produced Carpe Demon - and he's clearly aiming for one of the biggest with his upcoming project.Ovredal has teamed with Hitman producer Adrian Askarich to create a massive transmedia adaptation of graphic novel series Enormous. The story of an Earth ravaged by giant monsters, the duo plan to bring Enormous to screens of all sorts, with the plan including an online web series, a television show and...

RZA Tackling Grant Morrison's HAPPY: A Tale Of Hitmen, Santa Suited Pedophiles, And A Little Blue Horse

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:00 AM PDT

Until the RZA's directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fists, hits screens November 2nd nobody will really know whether the former hiphop icon has got what it takes to make the transition to directing films. But while the lengthy delays to Iron Fists certainly throw up some warning signs - the release date was pushed back for more than a year, during which time the film apparently underwent some significant restructuring - RZA is certainly not without his supporters and he's already moving on to film number two.Word has come out of the New York COmic Con that RZA has teamed with comic book creator Grant Morrison and producer Reginald Hudlin to bring Morrison's Happy to the big screen with Morrison himself providing the...

Interview: HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG Producer and Lead Actress Christina Rose

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:00 AM PDT

How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song is one of the most delightful films I have seen this year, and the film has just won the Top Prize at the Raindance Film Festival in London where over 6,000 films were submitted. I had the pleasure of chatting with the film's producer and lead actress Christina Rose about performing and filmmaking.  Twitch: Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Christina Rose: I was born in Naples, Italy; coincidentally the same town Sophia Loren was born. And since I've always admired her for breaking so many boundaries I think that is pretty neat. I have a very supportive family; who have been unconditionally encouraging me since I performed in the Nutcracker Ballet at the Fox...
