NSFW: Dare to Press Play on the V/H/S/2 Red Band Trailer!

Posted: 15 May 2013 07:30 PM PDT

Two things to note heading into the red band trailer for V/H/S/2. One, if you want to be really impressed by what this second batch of directors have pulled off for the sequel then go right ahead. Two, there is so much good stuff packed into this trailer I almost feel betrayed by it, like I've seen too much. So if you wish to remain pleasantly surprised then refrain from watching. But we know you can't resist - and neither could we. Oh, I should add a third point. This is definitely, definitely NSFW. Indeed, this is as red band as it gets. Only one of the original directors, Adam Wingard (You're Next), returns. His regular partner in crime, writing partner Simon Barrett, takes his first turn...

Planete+ Doc Film Festival Brings A Notable Bunch Of Documentaries To Poland

Posted: 15 May 2013 04:30 PM PDT

Spring's in full swing in Poland and May proves to be a strong contender for the title of the country's most interesting month when it comes to film festivals. Already halfway through, Planete+ Doc Film Festival offers an impressive amount of documentaries from all over the world. Films are divided into 15 sections (some of which have both clever and attractive names, including Eat Locally, Think Globally or Heroes Are Among Us), and many of them take part in various competitions. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Planete+ Doc is the third largest European film festival dedicated to the art of creating meaningful documentaries that may astound the audiences as much as they may shock them at times. This year's selection offers a considerable amount of interesting, often thought-provoking pictures, such...

Oak Cliff Film Fest Adds END OF THE ROAD, SHADOW OF THE BAT-MAN, MCCABE & MRS. MILLER And More

Posted: 15 May 2013 02:00 PM PDT

For its second edition, the Oak Cliff Film Festival in Dallas, Texas (which produced an amazing bumper video), has added some rarely-seen older films to a lineup built around local premieres of Joe Swanberg's Drinking Buddies and Bobcat Goldthwait's Willow Creek. The repertory screenings, a 35mm specialty of the Texas Theatre, sound fantastic. Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller looks absolutely splendid on 35mm -- I saw it a few years ago in Los Angeles and it was revelatory on the big screen -- and this screening will be hosted by muti-talented filmmaker David Lowery (Ain't Them Bodies Saints), with Keith Carradine in attendance. End of the Road (1970), based on a novel by John Barth, stars Stacy Keach and James Earl Jones; Roger Ebert...

Look Out Holland, THE WINDMILL MASSACRE Is Coming!

Posted: 15 May 2013 11:00 AM PDT

Jeonju 2013 Review: Lee Sang-woo's Thrilling EMERGENCY EXIT is a Poetic Gutpunch

Posted: 15 May 2013 08:30 AM PDT

Every year, the Jeonju International Film Festival commissions a pair of omnibus features. The longest-running and most famous of these is the Jeonju Digital Project, which has featured a number of star Asian directors over the years. The other is the Short! Short! Short! series, which focuses on young Korean directors helming experimental works. This year's edition of the latter featured three shorts and four directors tasked with adapting the works of popular local writer Kim Young-ha. Based on Kim's idiosyncratic stories, the works, each original in their own right, all featured a strong sense of style. Of course, as with many omnibuses, they didn't all hit the mark. Lee Sang-woo's opening segment Emergency Exit was my favorite of the bunch and also the best thing...

Destroy All Monsters: Leo DiCaprio and the Myth of the Chick Flick

Posted: 15 May 2013 08:00 AM PDT

I have a running argument about whether or not movie box office is a zero-sum game. I tend to attack film earning potential from the "mother of two" perspective - which is that while yes, it's nice to believe that if a film is good it has a theoretically unlimited audience capacity, the reality is that if you're a member of a small family raising children, you get out to the movies once or twice a year, and doing so costs a hundred bucks and makes you not want to do it again for a very long time. Film fans like to believe that they're the core of the moviegoing audience, too, but generally speaking they're not. Iron Man 3 isn't chugging towards a $400M...

"Chinese Realities/Documentary Visions" at MoMA, An Essential Film Series Tracing 25 Years Of Chinese Documentary Practice

Posted: 15 May 2013 07:01 AM PDT

Currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art, the valuable and eye-opening film series "Chinese Realities/Documentary Visions" traces the progression of Chinese documentary practice from 1988 to the present, and how filmmakers have recorded the rapid changes China has undergone over the past 25 years. This 29-film series encompasses many forms of filmmaking: both underground and state-approved documentaries, amateur videos, web-based conceptual art, as well as fiction films that are strongly influenced by a sense of the realities of contemporary Chinese society. Some major highlights of the series are films by Wu Wenguang, a pioneer of the "New Chinese Documentary Movement," such as his 1990 film Bumming in Beijing: The Last Dreamers (pictured above) and his 2005 film Fuck Cinema. Another must-see, well worth the considerable...

New Stills for Wojciech Smarzowski's ANIOL Dramatize Alcoholism

Posted: 15 May 2013 06:00 AM PDT

Wojciech Smarzowski (Drogowka, Roza, Wesele), one of the most prolific Polish directors of the 21st century, is about to finish shooting his latest film entitled Aniol, a hard-hitting drama about alcoholism and its overpowering ability to destroy a person's life. Robert Wieckiewicz (Vinci, In Darkness) plays Jurus, a writer who finds himself on the verge of a moral breakdown due to the destructive disease that's alcohol addiction. Based on the controversial novel Pod Mocnym Aniolem, written by Jerzy Pilch, Aniol might come as a haunting tragicomedy that's also an intriguing cautionary tale, with a bold social commentary on the condition of the whole Polish society. The first images give the impression of a minimalistic stage play, carefully orchestrated by Wieckiewicz during his time defying drinking...
