Trailer For GO GOA GONE Signals The Beginning Of Bollywood's Zombie Apocalypse

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 04:00 PM PDT

India may be the last major film territory onto which cinematic zombies have yet to be unleashed, but that's all coming to an end very soon with a virtual flood of zombie films set to hit Indian cinema screens this year. First up is Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru's undead comedy, Go Goa Gone. This film has been in the works for quite a while now and seems to be the the winner in the recent horse race to become India's first zombie film. Whether or not it's any good is, obviously, still to be seen.Go Goa Gone is the fifth release from star Saif Ali Khan's Illuminati Films production house. The first was last winter's lackluster spy thriller Agent Vinod. That film was plagued...

ND/NF 2013 Review: BLUE CAPRICE, A Coldly Detached Observation of Two Mass Murderers

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 03:00 PM PDT

Given the devastating recent history of mass shootings in the U.S., Alexandre Moors' debut feature Blue Caprice, the opening night film of New Directors/New Films 2013, is nothing if not timely. Blue Caprice is a speculative imagining of the events which led up to the so-called "Beltway Sniper" shootings in October 2002, in which former army soldier John Allen Muhammad and 17-year old Lee Boyd Malvo terrorized the Washington D.C. metro area by committing random shootings that killed 10 people and wounded three others. The two of them, with Malvo as the trigger man, shot their victims through a hole in the trunk of a blue Chevrolet Caprice (the source of the film's title). Muhammad was eventually convicted of murder and executed in 2009, while...

IFFR 2013 Review: HOW TO DESCRIBE A CLOUD

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 02:00 PM PDT

(You will not see that next-to-last shot coming. Seriously, you won't...) While there are several big flashy films shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the vast majority of titles tend to be low-budget affairs by newcomers. Introducing new names and discovering talent is one of the best-known qualities of the IFFR. However, if you sample four or five films a day, this does make you gasp a little in exasperation when yet ANOTHER film turns to the cost-saving device of using a small off-the-shelf camera, and then only shoot long slow takes with extreme close-ups and limited fields of depth. Three of these movies in a row and you'll be cursing the filmmaker or worse: nodding off. "But what else can I do?", I...

Twitchvision: Talking SPRING BREAKERS, ADMISSION, and OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 08:30 AM PDT

This week saw a bunch of films worth talking about, including what for me is the first non-awful Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers, the innocuous and thus disappointing Admission, and the best goddamn movie of the weekend, Olympus Has Fallen (I keep wanting to call it Olympus Hath Fallen, that'd give it the Shakespearean heft it deserves).Plus, I of course managed to sneak in a reference to The Raid, because, well, it's awesome, and I thought so well before I started writing for Twitch.Click image below to watch....

Review: Beyond the Spectre of HBO's PHIL SPECTOR

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 07:30 AM PDT

All the ingredients are there - a salacious crime and trial that captivated tabloids, centered around a man that has had the name genius about him for half a century. A quirky, charismatic dwarven weirdo that helped shape the sounds of a generation, caught up in a sordid celebrity case that L.A. is ground zero for.Take a story of this style, and put it into the hands of David Mamet, with production by Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson, two men that set the groundwork for the renaissance of modern television drama with their Homicide: Life On The Streets and Oz. Hire Al Pacino to play the titular lead, give a juicy part to Dame Hellen Mirren, and surround them with delicious character actors like Jeffery...
