Behold The Camel Riding, Yodeling Norwegians.

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 03:05 AM PDT

Meet Polkabjorn and Heine Bugge, a pair of young men from Norway who like to yodel. Specifically, they like to yodel German classics from the 1930s. Which somehow got them invited to Israel, whence they were accompanied by a camera crew from Bergen based Flimmer Film who plan to create a documentary of their Middle Eastern yodeling odyssey. Really. Check a brief clip below....

Review: Kim Yun-seok on Form in SOUTH BOUND

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 01:45 AM PDT

Normally, when a Korean film's characters decamp to the countryside, we can expect terrible things to happen. But Yim Soon-rye's new film offers a refreshing take on this standard formula. While bad things also befall the characters in South Bound, there's a welcome levity to the proceedings. A family man decides to move his family to an island when life under the finger of the government becomes too much for him. He smashes CCTV cameras in his neighborhood, refuses to have his fingers printed at the police station (during one of his many visits), and thumbs his nose at politicians. Along with his wife and his two youngest children, he moves to a small island off the southern coast to begin a new life in...

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 12:15 AM PDT

Following the unveiling of Super Hero Films at HK Filmart last month, the joint production venture between Media Asia and Donnie Yen, the company has now announced their first two projects. The Master is a martial arts drama set in the US in the 1970s, centring on a Hong Kong immigrant turned kung-fu school master who is targeted for revenge by a gun shop owner. The film will star Donnie Yen in the title role and is to be directed by Soi Cheang, whose previous work includes Motorway and Accident.The second project, Dragon City, is to be directed by Derek Kwok (Gallants) and is again set during the 70s.

Review: SCARY MOVIE 5 Contains No Laughs But Much Poop

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:50 PM PDT

I'd be tempted to say that nothing in Scary Movie 5 is funny, but the outtakes that play over the closing credits show multiple cast members struggling to keep from laughing, so obviously I'm mistaken. Clearly the film is hilarious. Maybe there was a problem with the projection at my theater? Because what I saw was a boldly uninspired torrent of halfhearted slapstick, interminable poop jokes, and pointless pop-culture references, a veritable tsunami of idiocy cutting a swath of disgust and boredom across the landscape. That it should have been produced and co-written by David Zucker -- one of the minds responsible for Airplane!, Top Secret!, and Naked Gun, and the guy who revitalized the Scary Movie franchise -- adds a tinge of sadness to...

Watch New ROMEO AND JULIET Unfold In Classic Style

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 04:16 PM PDT

It's not revisionist and it's not flashy -- in other words, it's not Baz Luhrmann's modernistic vision. But it does feature 16-year-old Hailee Steinfeld and a script by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellows. The new version of Romeo and Juliet stars Steinfeld (True Grit) and Douglas Booth (Darren Aronofsky's upcoming Noah) as the teenage lovers, with a supporting cast led by Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti. Stellan Skarsgård intones the openings words in the trailer, which lays out the tragic romance for those who may not have been paying attention in school. Carlo Carlei directed. The traditional approach as worked well on period television shows, but the real appeal here is the cast. Can Steinfeld, who was so good in True Grit, not only pull...

Review: COMMUNITY S4E09, Intro To Felt Surrogacy (Or, Playing With Puppets Can Be Bittersweet)

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 12:00 PM PDT

It's nice that I don't have to make any lame jokes about the use of puppets in this episode as the title so cleverly got that out of the way for me. So thank you, Community writers. You do your job well.As it is, last night's episode was indeed very nice, but just how nice it was is going to depend on your tolerance for towing very dangerously to the line of sentimentally saccharine, plus the use of puppets somewhere in the vein of the Muppets and Avenue Q. Overall Intro To Felt Surrogacy played it more bittersweet like one of Kermit's banjo ballads, once again reinforcing just how tight the study group is... even after a balloon ride gone awry and a psychotropic berry...

Dallas IFF 2013 Review: SWEETWATER Would Go Down Better With A Bit More Sugar

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:58 AM PDT

Sweetwater isn't easy to enjoy. For such a spare and tight film there seems to be a lot of dead air. Part of that is because it brings together three narratives that don't mesh until nearly halfway into the film. The fun really begins once those three characters converge and things are truly sent spiraling. Like a ricocheting bullet, it's hard to determine where Sweetwater--directed by Logan Miller from a script by Andrew McKenzie, Logan, and brother Noah Miller--is going to end. Violent and dark, this feels like a William Friedkin-esque attempt at a Western set in the New Mexico territory around the 1800s. There are rare spurts of humor and most of it is from the way that people are dispatched without hesitation...

Twitch Talks UPSTREAM COLOR

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Shane Carruth's followup to his stunning debut Primer expands to additional theatres this week (and will be available for download and streaming May 7). Our own Eric Snider reviewed the film at Sundance, suggesting that "Upstream Color is interesting; it just doesn't get interesting till after it's over."Here's more from Eric's review: "Carruth relates this strange tale with some linear jumps, dialogue-free sections, and a few other flourishes, but the story itself isn't complicated. (Weird, sure. Not complicated.) What it means is another matter. Since we're clearly not meant to take it literally (or at least not just literally), we look for clues to its interpretation. We have to: taken merely at face value, the story is cold, dispassionate, with characters we have no reason to...

Brussels 2013 Review: TEBANA SANKICHI: SNOT ROCKETS Will Turn Your Brain To Mush

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 06:30 AM PDT

Writing a review of Tebana Sankichi: Snot Rockets is impossible, and probably stupid to attempt. Reviews involve structuring words and sentences in order to give the reader an idea of what a movie is like and whether it is good or bad. Snot Rockets not only obliterates the definitions of words like "good" and "bad," it also destroys most other words two, along with all notions of structure, logic, time, rationality and probably even emotion too. Nonetheless I have labored to construct a paragraph which somewhat approximates the experience of seeing the movie:>>Mr. Postman + Tebana minus Sankichi, PLUS SANKICHI again and again and again, off the bridge, never InTo river, and again, because of two times Shiro... two or four? three? OR MILLION TIMES...
