Korean Box Office: Strong Start for VERY ORDINARY COUPLE

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 04:00 AM PDT

March is generally not a busy period for movies and South Korea is no exception. After a rocket-fueled start which saw records fall as local films dominated (Miracle in Cell No.7, The Berlin File, New World, etc.) and almost completely shut out Hollywood, things have settled down considerably as the industry lies in wait for what is likely to be a gargantuan summer season. That said, at 1.69 million admissions, business was up slightly and the market share occupied by domestic films was still very strong at 67%.

Zombies On A Plane! - New WORLD WAR Z Trailer

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 02:00 AM PDT

It's been a long, long time coming, but a movie adaptation of Max Brooks' best-selling book World War Z (unsurprisingly with little resemblance to the tome other than its title) is in fact coming. With a June 21st release date in the States, the Brad Pitt starring, Marc Forester helmed Zombie-o-rama gets a new trailer this fine, largely zombie free day, one with a strong emphasis on how to deal (or not deal) with familial relations during the oncoming z-pocalypse, as well as some globe trekking and questing. Yes, it still looks and feels a lot like Spielberg's War Of The Worlds, and sure, that also means production is what you'd expect from a summer studio release right now -- i.e. loud and grim with...

STAR WARS Postquel Update - J.J. Starts To Talk

Posted: 24 Mar 2013 11:00 PM PDT

Well, we're finally getting a bit out of the director of the as-yet-untitled Episode 7 as he gears up to talk about that other Star Trek-amajig movie he's supposed to be promoting.The guys and gals at Empire probably made a Paramount publicist's blood curdle when they asked J.J. about his next gig for Disney, but to Abrams' credit he said much while saying little.The director was asked about his self proclaimed Star Wars nerd deal with that universe, as opposed to the level of detachment and objectivity he could bring to messing about in the land of Trek. Hey sayeth:"I don't know because we're just getting started. So it's a great question that I hope I'll have a good answer to when I know what...

SXSW 2013 Review: GOOD VIBRATIONS Is The Best Punk Film Since 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE

Posted: 24 Mar 2013 09:00 PM PDT

Yeah. I said it: Good Vibrations is the best and truest film about punk music and culture since Michael Winterbottom's critically acclaimed look at early 80s Manchester, 24 Hour Party People. Lisa Barros D'Sa & Glenn Leyburn's new film is an absolute revelation and captures the ecstasy of the music and the lifestyle that surrounds it better than any film I've ever seen. They may not have the same kind of high profile cast that films like 24 Hour Party People, Control, or any number of others, but Good Vibrations more than makes up for it with heart. This is a joyous celebration of a movement that has affected so many over the last 35 years, and is edging toward the top of my best of 2013...

Review: Though Stylish and Enigmatic, WHEN WINTER SCREAMS Is a Little Too Quiet for Its Own Good

Posted: 24 Mar 2013 07:00 PM PDT

I've made no secret of my admiration for Korea's wonderful film schools, which are responsible for some of the best professionals working in the industry today. One such institution is the Korean Academy of Film Arts (KAFA), a government-sponsored school affiliated with the Korean Film Council that sports such illustrious alumni as Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer). A few years ago, KAFA began to make full-blown feature length films as graduation projects (with the support of industry giant CJ Entertainment) and the results have been formidable. 2010 featured the one-two punch of Bleak Night and End of Animal while 2011's crop included Choked and Mirage. The major KAFA-produced films from 2012 were Your Time Is Up, which had its world premiere as part of...

Kickstart This: Alex Cox Directs Harry Harrison's BILL THE GALACTIC HERO

Posted: 24 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PDT

Sure, you could use crowd funding to back a studio movie that the studio doesn't want to pay for themselves but does want to profit from. That's certainly an option these days. Or you could use it to support something that actually is independent. Something like Repo Man and Sid And Nancy director Alex Cox's adaptation of Harry Harrison's scifi novel Bill The Galactic Hero which Cox will direct with his film students at the University of Colorado serving as crew. So not only will you be backing a film by a maverick iconoclast but you'll also be contributing to someone's higher education. Double win!BILL, THE GALACTIC HERO is a feature-length science fiction comedy set in the far reaches of our galaxy, as humans wage...
