Guns A Blazin'! Here's The Final Trailer For DJANGO UNCHAINED Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:44 PM PST With the Christmas Day release right around the corner for Quentin Tarantino's western remix, here's one final trailer that's a breeze. And a bang. And a boom. Plus two or three more. Add to that some choice bits of colorful QT dialog sprinkled like sugar across your ears by the likes of Chrstoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio and I think we're set. Take a gander yourself below, and let us know your thoughts on the trailer in the comments. ... |
Charlize Theron Takes on Park Chan-wook's LADY VENGEANCE Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:38 PM PST While Spike Lee is busily shooting his Oldboy (2003) remake in New Orleans and Park Chan-wook is getting ready to release both his English-language directorial debut Stoker next March and Bong Joon-ho's Snow Piercer (which he is producing) in the summer, not to mention juggling directing duties on the upcoming The Brigands of Rattleborge and Corsica '72, yet another project with his name attached is being floated in Hollywood.The third installment in his vengeance trilogy, 2005's Lady Vengeance (sometimes known as Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) has caught the interest of Hollywood star Charlize Theron, who has stepped aboard the US remake. The film, which will be co-produced by Theron's Denver & Delilah, Annapurna Pictures and Korean giant CJ Entertainment, will be adapted by The Departed (2006) scribe... |
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. ... |
Sundance 2013: Competition & Next Lineups Hit Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:20 PM PST 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. While the Park City extravaganza doesn't begin until January 17, the anticipation begins right now with the announcement of the films that will be debuting in the four big competitions: US Dramatic, World Dramatic, US Documentary, and World Documentary. As a bonus, we've got the films that will be featured in the fest's extra... |
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.... |
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... |
This Is Only A Test Of The Kaiju Emergency Alert System. Posted: 28 Nov 2012 08:35 AM PST Please remain calm. This is only a test of the Kaiju Emergency Alert System.Yes, kids, the marketing campaign has begun in earnest for Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming Pacific Rim with the launch of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps website - which is currently counting down to an unspecified event due to hit two weeks from now - and a video test of the Kaiju Emergency Alert System. Will more be coming soon or do we need to wait for the counter to hit zero? Don't know just yet but it never hurts to be prepared: Test the system below.... |
Kaneshiro Plays Detective, Donnie Yen Kicks Ass In New DRAGON Clip Posted: 28 Nov 2012 08:00 AM PST Peter Chan's Dragon - formerly known as Wuxia - starts its limited release in the USA Friday, rolling out in New York before moving on from there, and a new clip has arrived to entive your bum into a theater seat. 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? Why, yes, that's pretty much exclusively what Kaneshiro is figuring out from the clues left behind, which means we get a good does of Yen in action.Liu Jin-xi (Yen) is a village craftsman whose quiet life is irrevocably shattered by the arrival of two notorious gangsters in the local general store. When Liu... |
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... |
