Out Now On Australian DVD: UNDEFEATED Will Touch Your Heart

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 11:30 PM PST

Undefeated won this year's academy award for best documentary, and after just one viewing of this focused, genuine and gripping film it is not hard to see why.It is out now in Australia on DVD thanks to Madman Entertainment, and has garnered appreciation already on Twitch.Scott Weinberg had this to say about the film."A sports movie," is what you'll probably think right off the bat, most likely followed by "oh, a sports documentary, no less." And then, if you're like a lot of movie-watchers, you'll quietly put Undefeated back and grab something else -- and you'd be robbing yourself of a frankly fantastic piece of fact-based storytelling.Documentary-wise, you can't do much better than Steve James' Hoop Dreams (1994, also out through Madman), but somewhere right below that classic are...

First Shots From Ayoade's THE DOUBLE

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 12:00 PM PST

Jesse Eisenberg is poised to have a very strange 2013, one split between two very different projects. On the big, mainstream side of things there's the Louis Leterrier magician caper film Now You See Me. And on the interesting side of things there is his starring role in The Double, the sophomore effort from Submarine helmer Richard Ayoade. Based on a Dostoevsky short story, "The Double is the comic story of an insignificant man driven to near breakdown by the appearance of his doppelganger. Funny, frightening and dream-like, the film will reflect on loneliness and our need to love and be loved."No, it's not the most exciting synopsis in the world but Ayoade is simply a fabulous talent and the cast in this - Mia...

Dustin Nguyen Rolls Cameras On ONCE UPON A TIME IN VIETNAM

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 11:01 AM PST

It was all the way back in December of 2007 that we first wrote about Monk On Fire, a picture described as an Eastern Western with super powered motor bike riding kung fu monks written and to be directed by Dustin Nguyen. I had the chance to read it shortly afterwards and ambitious didn't even begin to describe it ... this was large scale filmmaking, loaded with impressive set design and large scale battle sequences. How would Nguyen ever get this set up within the fledgling Vietnamese industry, as he hoped?Years later, Nguyen has smartly turned his part as the villain in The Rebel into a thriving acting career in Vietnam and then gone even further, establishing himself as a highly successful local producer and...

Aliens as Terrifying as Ghosts in DARK SKIES Trailer

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 10:00 AM PST

Producer Jason Blum has made a name for himself over the last several years by cranking out movies about malicious spirits like Paranormal Activity, Sinister and Insidious. In Dark Skies, he seems to be branching out a bit with... evil aliens! Which apparently act a lot like evil ghosts. That's right, Keri Russell and her family are dealing with objects getting ominously stacked in the kitchen, birds flying into windows and child possession. Fortunately, alien abduction expert J.K. Simmons is coming to the rescue!   The movie was written and directed by Scott Stewart, whose previous films Legion and Priest involved Paul Bettany fighting armies sent by God. So it seems like he's branching out a bit as well. Have a look at the suspenseful...
