Sympathy For Mr. Zombie: Here's The International Trailer For HALLEY

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 08:00 PM PDT

I guarantee you won't find another trailer or film that takes to the idea of the zombie with such a sympathetic and existential gaze as you will with Sebastián Hofmann's Halley. Our very own Ard Vijn had this to say when the film played IFFR in January: The movie's title comes from the famous comet which visits Earth once every 76 years. Most people will see Halley's comet only one time in their lives. But not Beto. For him, different rules apply, and if he keeps himself together (literally), he may see the comet several times. But in between visits, Halley's comet travels utterly alone, just like Beto, and utterly slow, just like the film. You need to be very patient to get accustomed to...

SXSW 2013 Review: HAUNTER Delivers an Enjoyably Tame Ghost Story

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 07:05 PM PDT

Time is a fluid thing in the atmospheric Haunter, but it's set mainly in 1985. It's the day before Lisa's 16th birthday. It has been for a while. Lisa (Abigail Breslin) and her wholesomely plain family -- mother (Michelle Nolden), father (Peter Outerbridge), and little brother Robbie (Peter DaCunha) -- seem to be in a Groundhog Day situation, reliving this same day over and over. Only Lisa realizes it, though, along with its corollary: they're all dead. These facts are revealed early in Haunter, a good old-fashioned ghost story (with a few slight formula tweaks) from director Vincenzo Natali. His most famous films, like Cube (1997) and Splice, were far more violent and intense than this one which fits in the genre of gore-free PG-13...

Interview: Hosoda Mamoru Talks WOLF CHILDREN, The Magic Of Hand-Drawn Animation And Parenting

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:35 PM PDT

Anime director Hosoda Mamoru hardly needs an introduction around these parts. Heck, our enthusiasm for his Summer Wars is just about legendary. Still considered a bit of an young upstart in his native Japan when compared to the old-guard animators, he is nonetheless a master animator. Hosoda recently visited New York with his new film Wolf Children, which is playing the New York International Children's Film Festival. Our pal The Lady Miz Diva was nice enough to pass along the following interview with Hosoda-san wherein he talks about his process, hand-drawn animation, parenting and his new animation studio -- Enjoy!   The Lady Miz Diva:  Congratulations on winning the Japanese Academy Award in animation for WOLF CHILDREN.  You're three for three in that category, with...

SXSW 2013 Review: GROW UP, TONY PHILLIPS is More Wholesome Fun from Hagins

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 02:40 PM PDT

Emily Hagins has already made quite a name for herself in the Austin film scene with three full leangth features including 2011's indie hit My Sucky Teen Romance. In her fourth feature, Grow Up, Tony Phillips, Hagins shows more filmmaking maturity, leaving behind the genre-lite aspects of her past films to tell a story of fitting in and growing up. What results is a much more polished and professional feeling product that is every bit as entertaining as Hagins's past work. Tony Vespe plays the titular Tony, a kid obsessed with Halloween, regardless of whether his fellow high school seniors think dressing up is lame. His friends Elle (Katie Folger, who looks a lot like an all grown up Sally Draper) and Craig (Devin...

THE ALAN PARTRIDGE MOVIE Teaser Promises Guns, Cursing And A Snazzy Title

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 08:30 AM PDT

I can't guarantee that this first look at The Alan Partridge Movie actually shows anything from the film itself, but it does feature new material from Steve Coogan playing Britain's favorite fictional talk radio host, which is good enough. Here, we have Partridge (Coogan) spit-balling with his co-workers spit-balling titles for the film. Or who knows, maybe this footage is in the actual film. Maybe the film is partly about making the film! Maybe they went completely meta and made a film about making a film about making a film! Whatever the case, all will be revealed on August 7th. For now, we just have this trailer, in which the trio teases a plot involving Alan in a radio station under siege before finally settling...

TV Review: COMMUNITY S4E06, Advanced Documentary Filmmaking (Or, We Need To Talk About Kevin... I Mean Chang)

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 07:00 AM PDT

After last week's episode where Jeff confronted his estranged father, moving on from a darker side in his life, last night's episode returned to the Greendale Campus and an issue that's been sorta loosely and peripherally dangling over the entire season thus far: Just what the heck is Changnesia and why should we care?Chang himself has made a few brief appearances before this episode, only we're told he isn't the maniacal Chang anymore, he's now the sweet, child-like Kevin who suffers from a bizarre form of amnesia called Changnesia. Bizarre because it's just stupid and made up. Jeff's sure of it anyway, and he's out to prove the rest of the school, who have sided with Kevin, wrong. Meanwhile the Dean has enlisted the help...
