Hey Australia, Win Sci-Fi Romance UPSIDE DOWN On DVD Or Blu-ray!

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 07:30 PM PDT

Upside Down is a science-fiction romance starring Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess. It has a very interesting and unique premise:In a universe that is not our own, two worlds with inverted gravity dangle within a few meters of each other. The one above is very wealthy. The one below is desperately poor. The people of the two worlds are forbidden to interact, even though they can see each other...Adam (Sturgess) lives humbly "down below" trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from the other, affluent world, a girl named Eden (Dunst). Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown-up Eve on television,...

THE SILENCE OF THE PRINCESS Captures The Tragic Life Of FANDO Y LIS Star Diana Mariscal

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 03:30 PM PDT

Scarcely remembered now Diana Mariscal seems a sort of proof of the saying that those whose light burns brightest burns shortest. The Mexican performer is best known today as the star of Alejandro Jodorowsky's Fando Y Lis - that being one of only six films the actress and singer appeared in - but she dropped out of the limelight shortly thereafter, a victim of severe depression that at the time was far more likely to be swept under the rug than dealt with.Struck by a car and killed earlier this month at the age of 62, Mariscal comes back into the spotlight now as the subject of El Silencio De La Princesa (The Silence Of The Princess), a documentary feature looking into her life, career...

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:00 PM PDT

Tienan is Superhero Fly, a costumed hero much in the tradition of Japan's Tokusatsu shows like Ultraman and Kamen Rider. He has played this role for a number of years now. Alongside him is his best friend Monster, who gets into the costume of whatever space monster Superhero Fly will fight that week. Tienan's biggest fan remains the network owner who brought Tienan on board. However, he is getting old and unwell, and his daughter is returning from America and will take over the network.

Euro Beat: 7 Bernadette Lafont Movies You Should Know About

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 12:00 PM PDT

In most of the world, only dedicated cinephiles noted the passing of French actress Bernadette Lafont, but in France, citizens nation-wide are still mourning the loss of one of the country's great cinematic icons. Lafont passed away from a heart problem last Thursday at the age of 74. The actress' filmography, which covers well-over 100 films, reads like a who's who list of the most important French directors of the last fifty years. She made her debut in François Truffaut's first short film, The Mischief Makers, in 1957 and went onto work with directors including Costa Garvas, Louis Malle, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, Jean-Pierre Mocky, Claude Miller and Julie Delpy. And so, in honor of Lafont's work, let's take a look at seven of her standout...

Cinemalaya 2013 Review: Alvin Yapan's DEVOTION, A Marriage Of Passionate Love And Religious Fervor

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 10:00 AM PDT

Alvin Yapan's films have always been influenced by his being both a literature professor and a writer of short stories. They are never empty vessels of creatively plotted stories that are heavily embellished by cinematic techniques and visuals. The charm of his films relies heavily on the fact that the stories are never just stories. They are intelligent observations on gender politics, as in The Dance of Two Left Feet (2011), where a gay love story houses feminist intentions, or in Pilgrim Lovers (2010), a romance whose two halves articulate love and longing from the perspectives of both genders, and on economic history and The Rapture of Fe (2009), a supernatural tale where the various inadequacies of the Philippines' economic growth are represented by various inadequate...

Witness The Abhorrent Mythology Of Chiloé Island In HIJO DE TRAUCO

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Island cultures have long been fertile breeding grounds for magic, myths and creepy stories. And Chile's Chiloé Island is one of the most prolific when it comes to horrendous creatures, evil beings and fantastic explanations of natural phenomena (usually involving crawling beasts, witches and ghost ships).Many Chilean arts and crafts have taken inspiration from these southern tales, from collectible card games to endless books and stories involving the most despicable creatures of the large chilote bestiary, which, out of the more than thirty mythological characters, most of them are evildoers. One of the most common ones is the Trauco, an incubbus related imp that hypnotizes young virgin women by hitting his phallic-shaped stick against trees and fences. Hijo de Trauco (Son of Trauco), Alan Fischer's sophomore...

Review: SKINS S7E05, RISE: PART 1 (Or, Cook Is On The Run And Haunted By His Past)

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 06:30 AM PDT

What the first part of "Rise" shows us is just how much the past can benefit what the seventh series of Skins is looking to accomplish. I don't mean to say that the previous episodes should've been focussed on previous stories too, but this episode gets off to a brisk pace and has immediate impact simply because we know exactly what has shaped James Cook (Jack O'Connell) into the person that he now is.When Cook faced off against Freddie's killer in the finale of Skins' third series, it was clear that only one person would leave the conflict alive. The show made the right choice at the time to leave the outcome uncertain, and it has made a great storytelling decision again by having us...
