Benny Lava Saves The Rec Center In ANYBODY CAN DANCE 3D Trailer. Prabhu Deva Headlines India's First 3D Dance Movie!

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 03:00 AM PST

While the Step Up series has gained a new cult of fans for American dance movies, India, the world's capital of dancing in movies has been strangely silent, until now.Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Anybody Can Dance 3D (ABCD), India's first 3D dance spectacle. This could have been disastrous, and still may be, however, there is one name attached that gives me confidence, Prabhu Deva. Prabhu Deva is currently best known as the director of Hindi blockbusters like Rowdy Rathore and Wanted and the Tamil hit Pokkiri, but he made his bones as a dancer and choreographer. He appeared on the international radar for his performance in Pennin Manathai Thottu, which featured a song called Kalluri Vaanil which became a viral hit after...

Anime on Blu-ray Review: UN-GO COMPLETE COLLECTION

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 12:00 PM PST

Detective anime Un-Go is more interesting for its literary roots than anything actually onscreen. Recently released on DVD and Blu-ray from Section23 Films and Sentai Filmworks, the 11-episode series follows troubled detective Shinjuurou Yuuki as he investigates a series of high-profile mysteries years after a string of terrorist attacks in near future Japan. Each case deals in some way with the nexus of corruption and collusion among the ruling elite and media, with a jarring supernatural twist that keeps Un-Go from ever really working. Un-Go is based on the works of novelist Ango Sakaguchi, whose Meiji Kaika Ango Torimono-chō laid bare the excesses and corruption in the wake of World War II. This series gives its detective a sinister, magical assistant, named Inga, a soul-hungry...

Erik Matti Launches Production of Long Awaited Crime Picture OTJ

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 11:00 AM PST

Twitch first got wind of Erik Matti's OTJ (On The Job) all the way back in January of 2010. That's when the Filipino director - sparked by a real life scandal in which corrupt politicians, dirty prison wardens and gangsters collaborated to release prisoners on day passes for use as hit men - got together a small crew and shot a stellar eight minute long reel for a proposed thriller revolving around one of those prison hit men and the cop in pursuit of him. Known as OJT at the time, it has been in development ever since with the script being polished and a lengthy hunt for the money to make the full feature undertaken.That hunt has been successful and Matti is now deep...

Review: DEXTER S7E09, HELTER SKELTER (Or, Everyone Talks About Their Feelings And Gets A Little Bit Weepy)

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 10:00 AM PST

As this seventh season of Dexter has played out it has become increasingly clear that it is plagued by one, overwhelming problem. Momentum. Or, rather, the lack of it. Throughout earlier seasons Dexter has always worked best when it follows a simple formula, with relationship issues shifting from episode to episode to explore different aspects of the characters while the season as a whole was driven forward by one overarching story. Would Doakes unmask Dexter as the Bay Harbour Butcher, Dexter's morbid fascination with the Trinity Killer, etc etc. It's a show that has always been driven forward by a central plotline, a system that worked very well until, this season, they decided to change it. Not only is there no overarching villain but in...

Review: BOARDWALK EMPIRE S3E11, TWO IMPOSTERS (Or, The Body Count Mounts As Things Get Ugly)

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 09:00 AM PST

Pack up the women and children, the guns are out and the boys have come to play. Actually, in the case of the sane woman - that would be Margaret Thompson - there's no need to pack her up, she's getting the hell out of Dodge all on her own. But the moderately insane Gillian Darmody? She's going to take some convincing and her single mindedness may very well put young Tommy into the crossfire unless Harrow can do something about it.Recall, if you will, that last week's episode of Boardwalk Empire ended with the body of Owen Slater being delivered to Nucky Thompson's door in a plain wooden crate. Recall also that this week's episode is the season's second to last. It comes as...

Euro Beat: Cahiers Du Cinema Releases the Boldest Top 10 List of the Year, Plus Turin Considers Suing Ken Loach

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 08:00 AM PST

As we roll into December, there will certain be many more lists of the top movies of 2012 from major entertainment publications, but I'll bet that none are as interesting as the one that legendary French film journal Cahiers du Cinema just put out. Granted, their list is usually pretty audacious (last year's found Philippe Garrel and Bruno Dumont sharing space with J.J. Abrams), but -- actually, if anyone can find evidence that there is another year-end list in existence with two Abel Ferrara movies on it, I'll pull a Werner Herzog and eat my own shoe.1. Holy Motors - Leos Carax2. Cosmopolis - David Cronenberg3. Twixt - Francis Ford Coppola4. 4:44 Last Day on Earth - Abel Ferrara4. In Another Country - Hong Sang-Soo4....

Blu-ray Review: BONJOUR TRISTESSE (Twilight Time Limited Edition)

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 07:00 AM PST

Otto Preminger was best known for his taboo shattering work in the 1950s. With films like The Man With the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder, he was able to bring unspoken societal ills into the public conversation. The former film was among the first Hollywood production to deal with heroin use, and the latter among the first to pointedly deal with rape. However, Preminger wasn't always beating America over the head with its own shortcomings, sometimes he made smaller pictures, but they were no less affecting. 1958's Bonjour Tristesse is just such a film. We begin the film in a gloriously sepia toned present tense wraparound in which Jean Seberg as the 17 year old mischievous Cecile remembers the glory days of a...

BLANCANIEVES to Screen in Canada via D Films

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 06:00 AM PST

My favourite film at TIFF this year, the sumptuous Spanish film Blancanieves will be distributed in Canada by D Films. A silent, black and white film retelling of the Snow White fairy tale set in 1920s Spain, directed by Pablo Berger (Torremolinos 73) and starring Maribel Verdu (Y Tu Mama También, Pan's Labyrinth), the film is also Spain's official entry for the Academy Awards this year. It was released in Spain this past September, and was in the top 10 at the box office for several weeks there.Rather than serving as a nod to the film industry (as in The Artist), Blancanieves is a nod to the format itself, invoking the likes of Carl Dreyer, Sergei Eisenstein, and Abel Gance, and yet remaining true to...

Música y Mórbido es muy bueno!!!

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 05:00 AM PST

(Yes. Morbido 2012 drew to a close over a week ago but for this separate post I had to wait for one of the musical artists to return from a quick tour)Normally we would not focus so much on music in a film. But, I came across two musicians at the Morbido Film Festival who are such polar opposites to each other on the musical spectrum that I wanted to take some time to highlight their work in music and more importantly in film. And were it not for the discovery of an old man playing Yellow Submarine on his accordion outside an entrance to the House of Eleven Courtyards either one of these gentlemen mentioned hereafter could have been tops on my list....
