Books to be Scene: Eowyn Ivey's THE SNOW CHILD

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 12:00 AM PST

Those first boot prints in the snow - they began at the vanished [snowman] and ran from there into the woods. No tracks came into the yard.Then there was the frost that crystallised on the window as she and Jack had watched, and the snowstorm that had blown her back towards home ... Most of all, there was the child herself, her face a mirror of the one Jack had sculpted in the snow, her eyes like ice itself. It was fantastical and impossible but Mabel knew it was true - she and Jack had formed her of snow and birch boughs and frosty wild grass. The truth awed her. Not only was the child a miracle, but she was their creation. One does not...

Review: EVERYTHING OR NOTHING - THE UNTOLD STORY OF 007

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 07:00 PM PST

When Stevan Riley's new documentary, made as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of James Bond in film, wasn't included as part of the big bumper blu-ray boxset that was released at the same time Skyfall hit cinemas, I was more than a little surprised. As an unabashed Bond nut, I was chomping at the bit to see this doc, which has finally found its way to iTunes. And boy was it worth the wait.Kicking off with a biography of Ian Fleming, Riley's film painstakingly charts Bond's journey from inception, through the publication of the novels, how Fleming lost the rights to Casino Royale, to the ghastly American TV serial, to Dr. No and then on through all 23 films. It even takes time to...

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:00 PM PST

Put a dead body in a small apartment, lock up a young woman on a bed, and set a young man free to investigate a murder -- but only within the same small apartment.

Based on a manga by Abiko Takemaru, the film stars Miura Takahiro and Natsuna as a couple of strangers who wind up in the same apartment where a murder has been committed. The young man suspects the young woman of the crime, so he ties her to a bed while he decides to investigate, but she has some detective skills of her own, or so she claims. The trailer has a...

Review: ALIEN 9 Is Unique And Compelling Anime

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 10:00 AM PST

Let's first make something very clear: despite its title and scenes showing aliens inside humans' abdominal cavities, Alien 9 bears absolutely no relation to the beloved Alien movie franchise. Instead, it is a short 4-episode anime series that tells the story of 3 young alien fighters who have been authorized to skip classes and fight aliens at their school.No. 9 Elementary School is no ordinary school. Besides being a place where children go to gain knowledge, it is also a major landing site for aliens. For this reason, every year the school puts a small team of students in charge of capturing the aliens, and if necessary, terminating them by force. Yuri, the latest member to join the 'Alien Party,' is a timid and reluctant...

Review: Emmanuel Palo's A MOMENT IN TIME Tells A Story Not Worth Telling

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:30 AM PST

Emmanuel Palo's A Moment in Time is an exercise in barefaced mediocrity. There is absolutely nothing in the film that exhibits any effort from the filmmakers to be anything other than fodder. Like an overgrown child who is unable to free himself of his parents' smothering care, the film desperately sticks to formula, inexplicably afraid of exploring new ground. Sadly, the formula has been used and reused to the point of tedium. The characters are nothing but predictable reincarnations of the countless perfect men and women whose convoluted backgrounds have temporarily separated them from their fated loves and in turn, bored their audiences to tears. While the trend nowadays is to reinvent the wheel, to tweak the formula to at least feel a bit fresh, Palo...

Spielberg To Bring Kubrick's NAPOLEON To Life!

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 07:00 AM PST

For any Kubrick-phile (and, really, for any fan of cinema), the Kubrick Napoleon project has long-survived as one of the great unmade masterpieces.Kubrick spent over a decade developing the project, dropping it after extensive research, location-scouting and even some early casting decisions. While small details about the project would slip out over the years, it wasn't until the exemplary Kubrick Archives publication that we got a sense of just what the film would be comprised of.There, buried near the back, was this tease, a giant card catalogue showing all the meticulous research that SK had amassed.Years later, Taschen made good on that promise, and released the book on what some call "the greatest unmade film of all time". Complete with script, research photos, and unique...
