Take a gander yourself below, and let us know your thoughts on the trailer in the comments.    ...

South Africa Gets Its GREASE On With Box Office Hit PRETVILLE

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 02:00 PM PST

It's got singing, dancing and bobby sox and a week into its South African theatrical run, the Afrikaans language, 50s set musical Pretville is proving tough to beat. Clearly taking a page from the Grease playbook, Pretville has opened to big business currently standing second to only the latest Twilight film and on course to likely end up as the biggest local film of the year. Check out the trailer (English subtitles included) below for a taste of why. ...

It's that wonderful time of year with the days getting shorter, the air getting colder, and decorations popping up around your neighborhood. Forget about Black Friday sales and caroling and brandy soaked company parties, the best part of the holiday season is getting things and one of our very favorite gifts is the bevy of new cinematic offerings that will be heading our way courtesy of the Sundance Film Festival.

The Power Of Photoshop Compels You - Or Not - In New Poster For Jackie Chan's CHINESE ZODIAC

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:00 PM PST

The first poster for Jackie Chan's Chinese Zodiac was fun, clever stuff - a visual representation of Chan's distinctive sense of humor. But clearly someone, somewhere wanted something that said ACTION a little more clearly and we all know that nothing says ACTION quite like poorly photoshopped explosions, right? Yep, this new poster is kind of crappy but the trailer still looks like big bags of fun and I'm looking forward to this more than any Chan film in recent memory....

Charlie Sheen Has A Big Banana. First Posters For Coppola's A GLIMPSE INSIDE THE MIND OF CHARLES SWAN III

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:00 PM PST

Fresh from the Rome premiere of Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III a block of five character posters have been released for the film. Except instead of featuring the characters it features distinct - and frequently fruity - substitutes. Charlie Sheen gets a banana. Coppola's cousin, Jason Schwartzman? He's a pickle. These are pretty fantastic, in my book, and you can see them all in the gallery below....

AFTERIMAGES: Five Horror Films From Hell. And Singapore.

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 11:00 AM PST

Writer-director Tony Kern is on a filmmaking roll here in Singapore, having already chalked up two feature films in the horror genre - A Month of Hungry Ghosts and Haunted Changi - and getting his next - you guessed it - horror feature primed for production with an August release scheduled. As far as the Chinese Almanac goes for South East Asia that is smack right in the middle of the Hungry Ghosts Festival, and coincidentally also the lucrative National Day Week for locally produced films....

Review: ALL THE WAY THROUGH EVENING

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 10:00 AM PST

Decades on, particularly for those of us living relatively privileged lives in the West, the horror wrought by the AIDS pandemic seems to be a thing of the past. Memories of Liz Taylor and red ribbons seem very much part of a previous century for most of us, and much of the fear associated with the disease softened through complacence. In a post-AZT world, where the syndrome has found ways of being medically managed, and the likes of Magic Johnson show that the debilitation wrought by the affliction can be sidestepped, the entire issue of HIV/AIDS has become for many simply background noise, some blood-borne transmissible disease with clear ways of avoiding its reach with a few minor safeguards. When the mysterious, deadly symptoms...

Innocence Ends With New Character Poster For Park Chan-wook's STOKER

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:30 AM PST

While the wait continues for the arrival of Oldboy director Park Chan-wook's English language debut we can at least console ourselves with the arrival of a new poster dedicated to Stoker star Mia Wasikowska. The feel is very consistent with the aesthetic of the hand drawn initial poster, which I quite like. Stoker hits US screens March 1, 2013. ...

The Name's The Thing! Movies That Should Be Remade by Name-Appropriate Directors

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:00 AM PST

Fans of surnames were delighted this year when The Amazing Spider-Man was directed by someone named Marc Webb (get it??) and The Odd Life of Timothy Green, about a boy who grows out of a plant, was directed by Peter Hedges (also get it??). We think this should be a trend, and so we imagined movies from the past being remade by name-appropriate filmmakers. Our list of name-appropriate directors is below, add your own in the comments section! The Birds: Brad Bird The Crow: Cameron Crowe Fast Food Nation: Neil Burger Lock Up: Nicolas Cage The Woodsman: John Carpenter Babe: Kevin Bacon Coffy: Craig Brewer Raging Bull: Guillermo del Toro Boogie Nights: Kirby Dick 1492: Conquest of Paradise: Chris Columbus Night at the Museum: Davis...

What have we got? Kaneshiro Takeshi gets his CSI on, reconstructing a crime scene to work out the truth of Donnie Yen's explanation of an early fight. Did I say fight?

When Liu...

Hey, Toronto! Oil Up Your Power Tools, Tobe Hooper's TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE Carves Up The Screen This Saturday!

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 07:17 AM PST

Hey, Toronto! All your favorite slasher villains are coming to the big screen, projected on glorious 35mm, as part of the Twitch presented Birth Of A Villain series at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Keeping things rolling this Saturday, it's the rise of Leatherface in Tobe Hooper's Texas Chain Saw Massacre!The one-two punch of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and John Carpenter's megahit Halloween in the 1970s put a new face to American horror movies. While previously the genre had its share of tortured, sympathetic anti-heroes (the Frankenstein Monster, the Wolf Man), this new breed of monster was a hero because of his villainy -- and the more gleefully he set about his gruesome work, the better. Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface,...

Mario Bava on Blu-ray: BARON BLOOD Review

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 07:01 AM PST

A little peek behind the curtain:When you review discs for a website, you are often sent material in advance of its commercial release in order to drum up interest before it hits store shelves. The result for many of us is a stack of discs that we try to prioritize into manageable, bite-sized pieces. For me, that usually entails attempting to wrangle them into chronological order by release date, so I can get my reviews written in the approximate order in which the product becomes available. Once in a while, however, something exciting comes along and it jumps the queue, Baron Blood is that title.It wasn't that this is a top ten favorite film or anything like that. It was the fact that the day...

Everything Old Is New Again: Patrick Stewart And Ian McKellen Join New X-MEN

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 04:00 AM PST

Magneto and Charles Xavier, meet Magneto and Charles Xavier. Casting on the upcoming Bryan Singer directed X-Men: Days Of Future Past took an intriguing turn yesterday when Singer tweeted a welcome to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen to the cast of the film. That duo, of course, played Charles Xavier and Magneto in the first run of Singer directed and produced X-films before James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender took on the characters for the set-in-the-60s X-Men: First Class. With the new picture based on the multiple timeline Days Of Future Past story Singer is bringing all four actors into the fold - a much better move than aging up McAvoy and Fassbender - which immediately begins speculation on which other actors from the earlier films...
