FRANKENSTEIN'S ARMY Red Band Trailer Picks At Your Brain

Posted: 30 May 2013 04:30 PM PDT

Well, hey now. There be a lot of monsters in this here red band trailer for Richard Raaphorst's upcoming World War II era Nazi horror flick Frankenstein's Army. A whole mess of them! And there should be enough blood, guts and gore here to whet anyone's appetite and get more people on board. It subtly hides the Cinéma vérité style in which Raaphorst conceived and shot the film. It becomes a little more obvious near the end; but not nearly as distracting as I feared. So head on over to Machinima's YouTube page and take a gander for yourself. Then come back and share your thoughts below! (Full disclosure: Twitch Founder and Editor Todd Brown served as a producer on the film. He was not involved with the...

Review: CHARLES BRADLEY: SOUL OF AMERICA, A Superfunky Good Time

Posted: 30 May 2013 04:00 PM PDT

The film starts with a 62-year-old man wearing a flowing cape and instantly recognizable wig, donning the disguise of a soul legend before taking the stage. He slinks into the dark Brooklyn divebar, ostensibly there to celebrate a birthday and perform in concert. The man who goes by the stage name "Black Velvet" and "James Brown Jr." gets up and does his thing to an appreciative, small crowd of a few dozen people, who seem equally drunk yet enthralled. Noodling away out of shot, the backup band do their best attempts at the stabbing riffs of the JBs as legend-to-be Charles Bradley pays tribute to his musical muse. From this simple beginning, we're led through a remarkable rise in this frank, humble, and wonderfully paced...

A Vibrant Voice Has Gone Silent. Rituparno Ghosh Is No More 1963-2013

Posted: 30 May 2013 03:00 PM PDT

Today we lost one of India's most vibrant and promising cinematic voices in the form of Bengali filmmaker/actor, Rituparno Ghosh. Even in the relatively brief period in which he was active, Ghosh was integral in expanding the cinematic language and visibility of underrepresented groups in Indian cinema, both in regional and Hindi films.In twenty years Ghosh directed 20 features, beginning with dramatic interpretations of working class life in Calcutta, moving through higher profile films with big name Bollywood actors, and finally settling into a series of films addressing the challenges of the LGBTQ and other minority communities in a rapidly evolving India.Between 1995 and 2012, Ghosh won an astounding twelve National Film Awards in India. In a film culture that seems to hold an award...

Wandering Exorcist Roams Spain. Watch The ASMODEXIA Promo Now!

Posted: 30 May 2013 02:30 PM PDT

Well, here's a little treat from an old friend. Regulars at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival in Spain - simply put the most important genre film event in Europe - need no introduction to Mike Hostench, the energetic co-director of the festival. Well, Hostench is switching teams, as it were, and serving as a script writer on upcoming horror picture Asmodexia.Slated for a summer shoot, Asmodexia is the feature debut of helmer Marc Carrete - who has had a pair of short films play in competition at Sitges, starting the relationship between the two men - from his own original idea. The story follows an itinerant exorcist and his granddaughter as they travel the Spanish countryside and while principal photography has not yet begun,...

Michael Biehn, Anderson Silva, Krzysztof Soszyznki And Lyoto Machida In First Shots From TAPPED

Posted: 30 May 2013 02:00 PM PDT

Now, I'm willing to concede that Michael Biehn can stare down just about anyone, but put him in the octagon with a mixed martial arts fighting champion? Well ... that's probably not going to actually happen in Allan Ungar's Tapped, but they'll certainly be in spitting distance of one another.Biehn stars in the upcoming revenge flick set against the backdrop of mixed martial arts, anchoring a cast that includes Martin Kove, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Krzysztof Soszyznki, Nick Bateman and Cody Hackman. A disgruntled teenager, sent to do community service at a rundown Karate school, enters an MMA tournament to face the man who killed his parents.Yes, I suppose you could consider this an MMA Karate Kid with Biehn playing Mr Miyagi should you choose...

Review: THE HISTORY OF FUTURE FOLK - Love, Friendship, And The Power Of Music

Posted: 30 May 2013 01:00 PM PDT

Sci-fi comedy The History of Future Folk documents the origin story of real-life NYC-based bluegrass duo Future Folk, a pair of bucket helmet-wearing aliens hailing from the comet-threatened planet Hondo. General Trius -- aka Bill, as he's known on Earth -- came to this planet many years ago in search of a new home for his fellow Hondonians, but decided to stay after hearing music for the first time and becoming enamored with musical instruments and a beautiful Earth woman. But soon, his peaceful new life is disturbed by the appearance of another Hondonian -- the wonky Kevin, who, after failing to kill Trius, becomes his closest friend and ally. Despite the sci-fi elements, The History of Future Folk is actually a story about love...

Fantastic Fest Launches The Fantastic Market!

Posted: 30 May 2013 12:30 PM PDT

What, you may be asking yourself, is a co-production market? Well, unlike a sales market which exists for producers to sell the films they've already made, a co-production market is where people can go to pitch the ideas they have for films in order to build the rest of the team that they need to makes the thing in the first place. You need a co-producer? An investor? A sales agent? That's what a co-production market exists to help you find. Not everything that turns up in a co-pro market will make it to the big screen but a lot of projects do and these events have become a key factor in a great many films getting made. Up until recently most project markets have...

FEAR & LOATHING AT CANNES PART 4: MOMMA NEVER SAID THERE'D BE DAYS QUITE LIKE THIS

Posted: 30 May 2013 12:00 PM PDT

CHAPTER 9:  I'VE DATED THROUGH CRAIGSLIST BEFORE, TRUST ME, EVEN THOUGH I'M GETTING ATTACKED BY A GROUP OF DRUG INDUCED RAGE ZOMBIES, I'VE STILL HAD WORSE DATES THAN THIS. If you're a critic and a supposed film journalist and your editor suggests that you play Scooby Doo and go on the hunt for a possible killer at a major film festival, then it might be time for a little introspection. It might be time to realize that you've officially become a joke amongst your peers.I've become a parody of a parody, and in this post post post modern cultural arena, I'm not even sure where this rabbit hole will lead. I suspect that it may be an infinite free fall into a Meta abyss.So I've...

Review: THE KINGS OF SUMMER, Full Of Life And Dreaming Big

Posted: 30 May 2013 11:01 AM PDT

The worst part about being a kid is the realization that one day you'll be an adult. Your only responsibilities are cleaning your room (throwing everything under the bed), eating your vegetables (feeding them to the dog), and getting your homework done (copying from a friend just before class). And then there are the teen years, when you think parents are the worst and want to just run away and live like a king under your own roof. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts explores this in The Kings of Summer, an unforgettable coming-of-age comedy that's sweet, witty, and brings back the joys of being young and full of life. Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) lives with his father, Frank (Nick Offerman). They don't like each other too much....

Listen to Nick Offerman Talk Bacon, His Status As An American Hero, And THE KINGS OF SUMMER

Posted: 30 May 2013 10:31 AM PDT

Thanks be mostly to his mustachioed alter ego Ron Swanson on TV's Parks and Recreation (not to mention the fact that in real life he's a master woodworker), Nick Offerman has amassed a great American male mythos. Nay, THE great American male. Like Grizzly Adams and Ernest Hemingway all rolled into one, Offerman is now at the forefront of both the comedy and the pop culture, and seen as an icon of both. I recently sat down with Offerman ... well, I was sitting and can only assume that wherever he was on the other end of the line, he too was seated to discuss his latest film The Kings of Summer, a nostalgia-infused coming-of-age tale that stands to be a king of summer movies...

Review: NOW YOU SEE ME Is Incredible, Not in the Good Way

Posted: 30 May 2013 10:01 AM PDT

When you see a magician do something in a live show that seems impossible, you know there's a trick to it. Either he didn't actually do the thing he pretended to do, or he did it by some method other than the impossible method he pretended to use. You may not be able to figure out how the trick works, but there's no question that it IS a trick. When you see a movie about a magician who seems to do the impossible, the explanation is much simpler: it's a movie. They have editing, camera tricks, and special effects at their disposal. That's why movies about magicians, if they want to be credible, have to stay within the realm of illusions that can (or could...

Review: SHADOW DANCER, A Well-Acted, Classy Political Thriller

Posted: 30 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Shifting loyalties regarding family, cause and country are the basis for Shadow Dancer, a sensitive and affecting new political thriller from director James Marsh (Man on Wire, Red Riding: 1980). It boasts a great ensemble cast that includes Clive Owen, Gillian Anderson, Domhnall Gleeson and a relative newcomer, Andrea Riseborough in the central role. Soon after witnessing a senseless family tragedy in 1973 in the Occupied Northern Ireland, we are transported to 1998 London, where a sullen Republican member, Collette (Riseborough) reluctantly disposes a bomb in the tube station stairways. Then, she is swiftly scooped up by two ready MI5 agents and delivered to an interrogation room. The whole wordless botched bombing attempt and following apprehension sequences are tense and swift. There, Collette is given an...

Things Get Goofy In Japanese Slacker Comedy I'LL GIVE IT MY ALL TOMORROW

Posted: 30 May 2013 08:30 AM PDT

Japanese writer-director Fukuda Yuichi is having what may be termed 'quite a year'. A super prolific talent, Fukuda has been present on the big screen in the past - directing part of an anthology project as well as a feature comedy based on his own play in 2009 - but it is television where he has really made his mark with writing credits on a whopping 82 episodes of various television series since 2010 alone, a great many of which he has also directed.But 2013 is different for Fukuda. 2013 is the year of no television. Instead he's made three features, two of which have already been heavily covered in these pages. Up first was Kid's Police, the big screen outing of the cult hit...

Review: THE EAST Entertains But Lacks An Indie Spark

Posted: 30 May 2013 08:01 AM PDT

Zal Batmanglij has worked up quite a fan base since his debut feature Sound of My Voice premiered at Sundance in 2011. Though it was initially overshadowed by the big sale buzz of that year's other Brit Marling film, Another Earth, a small but vocal crowd vigorously (and justly) beat the drum that Sound of My Voice was the better of the two. While Fox Searchlight scooped up Another Earth at that Sundance, they originally passed on Sound of My Voice, only to circle around and pick it up after the film's positive response at SXSW. Not long after, it was announced that Fox Searchlight would also be producing the next Batmanglij and Marling project, a story not that dissimilar to Sound of My Voice...

Review: God Bless AMERICAN MARY

Posted: 30 May 2013 07:00 AM PDT

The ever-growing cult of fans devoted to Jen and Sylvia Soska (aka "Twisted Twins") will not be disappointed by American Mary. Their previous effort, 2009's ultra low-budget grind house effort Dead Hooker in a Trunk, received a decent amount of attention for the identical wonder-duo from their fans, who have been curious and eager to see what the women could come up with when given the kind of creative leeway that an actual budget can provide. American Mary tells the cautionary tale of broke medical student turned illegal underground surgeon Mary Mason, portrayed by Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, Freddy vs. Jason), who was honored by FrightFest with their Best Actress award for her performance. A devoted student whose life revolves around practicing sutures on willing...

Posted: 30 May 2013 06:00 AM PDT

Pen-ek Ratanaruang, one of the most celebrated Thai filmmakers of the panorama, is back with Paradoxocracy, a documentary about Thailand's modern political history. The movie will feature a mix of archival footage and interviews, covering hot topics like the violent protests of the 1970s and the rise of Thaksin Shinawatra, one of the most controversial political figures in Thailand.Due to its problematic subject, the documentary has encountered several difficulties, not least the reluctance of theatrical venues to show it. But now everything seems to be flowing the right way, and according to the official Facebook page, Paradoxocracy will have a limited run in two Bangkok theatres starting June 24 and running through July 3.
