The Five Most Memorable Performances In Filipino Indie Cinema

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 08:00 PM PDT

One of the benefits that the current new wave has brought to Filipino cinema is surely an array of new, savage and extreme roles for actors in the local industry. Enough with the love teams, the Enteng Kabisote's and the Panday's, now is the time for the outsiders. It doesn't surprise at all that most of the memorable performances from the recent Filipino cinema come from the indie productions. It's magical alchemy and metempsychosis when the perfect role goes to the perfect actor or actress. Here are our favorite five, although we know it could have been ten or even twenty. ...

LA Film Fest 2013 Review: DELIVERY is a Refreshing Twist on Found Footage Horror

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 04:00 PM PDT

The found footage style of filmmaking exploded into the public consciousness with The Blair Witch Project back in 1999. The form grew, matured and is now well on its way to being passé. While filmmakers like those behind the V/H/S series are continuing to find impressively new and creative directions to take the found footage sub-genre, in general the critical response has recently trended towards it being seen as just a gimmick. Simultaneously, with found footage movies, the proliferation of "reality" television entered its "golden era" and in Brian Netto's Delivery, the two forms collide, taking an old idea and making it feel very much of this time. The story follows Kyle and Rachel Massy (Danny Barclay and Laurel Vail) who are trying to...

Three of the latter have just been released and you can check a complete gallery of the entire series below....

Guy Maddin Invites You To Take Part In His SEANCES

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 01:30 PM PDT

Guy Maddin has never been one to bow before convention and so when word arrives that he has teamed with Montreal's Phi Centre to shoot twelve films in thirteen days with the public invited to participate ... well, coming from Maddin this sort of insane undertaking is pretty much the sensible thing to do.Seances is a film shoot, an experience and an installation, which will subsequently become a film and an interactive work. The basic premise of Seances is that most silent filmmakers lost at least one film to a twist of fate. Ever since, these films have hovered like ghosts in search of their final resting place.And now Guy Maddin has decided to recreate these lost films. Every day, he will call on the...

Ten Essential Moments From Richard Matheson

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 12:20 PM PDT

Richard Matheson's contribution to American arts and pop culture is huge: his career spanned more than six decades and helped to define science fiction, fantasy and horror as we know them today. A creative powerhouse and a masterful storyteller, Matheson was also a tremendous screenwriter and his contribution to the film and TV industries is impossible to measure: from AIP to Hammer, from Roger Corman to zillion-dollar blockbusters, from Rod Serling to Steven Spielberg, Matheson's name was almost always associated to great talent and memorable stories.

Now on Blu-ray: WARM BODIES Is A Clever Teenage Romance For The Horror Crowd

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 12:00 PM PDT

A teenage romance with monsters? Hasn't Twilight already done this and proven, unequivocally, that it's a terrible, terrible idea? Well, yes and no. Warm Bodies swaps the vampires and werewolves for zombies, and the ridiculous melodrama for genuine warmth and humor. The result is a film that I ended up enjoying a lot more than I'd expected. I wish that more kids gravitated toward this kind of film instead of the other, it would save the world a lot of pain.Our Jason Gorber reviewed the film upon its cinema release earlier this year and had these comments, which I agree with completely:The whole thing feels of a different, simpler time when romances didn't need to be either overtly cynical or draped in gross-out moments. Essentially,...

Fassbender, Pitt, A Cheetah And Bardem's Crazy Hair In First Teaser For THE COUNSELOR

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 08:50 AM PDT

[It's out in English now, too! Check it out below!]If there has been a more anticipated film than Ridley Scott's The Counselor in recent years, I don't know what it is. From the moment word got out that Cormac McCarthy had written an original script there has been a frenzy around this project, from the director sweepstakes to a high profile casting roundabout that saw the production land the likes of Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz. This was Hollywood working in warp speed and now, somehow, the first teaser has already arrived ... in Russia.Yes, it's Russian dubbed, so no, you won't understand any of it unless you speak Russian. That said, the images look amazing and we are...

Ten Essential Polish Comedies

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 05:00 AM PDT

After World War II ended and an enemy regime took over the country, Polish cinema become a sort of cultural getaway for a society that had been trapped behind the veil of Communism. Though the censorship was pitiless and even the smallest act of disobedience was quickly and brutally suppressed, many local directors tried to make a difference and fight back with what they did best - promoting resistance movements and making people throughout the country aware of their own nationality and all the values that come with it through judicious and stout-hearted filmmaking. Movies that were strictly anti-communistic were deemed unwatchable by the GUKPPiW (the institution responsible for controlling and verifying all the official forms of communication in Poland, i.e. books, films, press, radio)....
