| Full Disclosure: Twitch's Lists of Shame - May (Part 1) Posted: 26 May 2013 01:00 AM PDT  In our ongoing quest to conquer the various indomitable beasts of World Cinema that have until now evaded us, Team Twitch has finally laid claim to works from venerable cinematic masters who span both the globe and most of the last century. May proves no exception, with acclaimed works from Martin Scorsese, Michelangelo Antonioni, Frank Capra, Billy Wilder and Charles Chaplin finally struck off our collective list of shame, feats that inch us ever closer to the elusive green light of cinephile completism.Raging Bull (dir. Martin Scorsese, 1980 USA)Winner of 2 Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Editing, winner of 2 BAFTAs, including Best Editing and Best NewcomerTodd Brown, Founder & Editor:Where to start with Raging Bull, a film I knew surprisingly little about...

| Check The First Poster Art For Animated Adaptation Of Tad Williams' TAILCHASER'S SONG Posted: 25 May 2013 04:00 PM PDT  It was back in November of 2011 that Twitch first caught wind of an animated adaptation of Tad Williams' fantasy novel Tailchaser's Song. Spearheaded by US indie outfit Animetropolis and Japan's IDA (creators of the stellar Cat Shit One), the project has slowly been making its way through development and now we have word that Sam Worthington's Australia based Full Clip Productions has joined the effort while Rise Of The Guardians director Peter Ramsay has signed up as an executive producer. Oh ... and there's also now the first official poster art for the film, which you can see above. Check the full press release below.

| Twitch Has Seen The First Five Minutes Of DEAD SNOW 2 And The Word Is Very Good, Indeed! Posted: 25 May 2013 03:30 PM PDT  Back in mid April Twitch was proud to present the first images from Tommy Wirkola's Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead, noting at the time that the sheer level of blood present boded well for fans of the original Nazi zombie comedy. Well, now we come bearing word that this early promise has been realized. The producers of the film were present in the Cannes film market with the first five minutes of the picture and we were fortunate enough to get a look.The film will be shot in both English and Norwegian. In the sequel the story follows the sole survivor of a Nazi zombie attack who battles an even larger army of Zombies with the help of a professional gang of American zombie...

| Cannes 2013 Review: Coming to America is Gorgeous, But Slow Business in James Gray's THE IMMIGRANT Posted: 25 May 2013 12:30 PM PDT  While heralded by a dedicated group of cinephiles in the U.S. (as well as most critics in France), director James Gray has always been more talked-about for his sure hand with actors and drama than for his visual style. Not that he hasn't shown before that he has more sense of mis-en-scene than many celebrated stylists (the rain-soaked car chase in We Own the Night comes to mind), but, perhaps because he's never been as showy as say, Martin Scorsese, or found it necessary to maintain a "signature" visual style from film to film, he's never been lifted to the mainstream upper-echelon of American nouveaux-auteurs.The Immigrant may change all of that. Here is, if nothing else, a gorgeous movie to look at. Bathed in sepia... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Posted: 25 May 2013 11:00 AM PDT  Back in 1960's France, masked wrestling was not a kitsch, novelty sport with a cult following -- it was serious business. According to the accepted narrative, it was not only a spectacle of brutality, but a powerful assertion of good triumphing over evil. In each match, a white-masked wrestler fought it out with a black-masked one, and ultimately emerged victorious. I don't think I need to elaborate on the symbolism here. And so, using this profession, with clear-cut versions of good and bad, as a backdrop for a film-noir, a genre which thrives on blurring the lines between the two opposing forces, is the first of many clever, inspired decisions director David Perrault makes in his film Our Heroes Are Dead Tonight (Nos Héros Sont...
