Did you enjoy your holiday weekend? Did you even get a day off? Canadians got to celebrate Canada Day last Monday, while Americans were granted Thursday to celebrate Independence Day -- or, as it's known in my neighborhood, "set off the cheap firecrackers and make all the kids scream and dogs bark" day and night. At the multiplex, Disney sent out a reimagined Tonto along with a white-hatted hero to do battle with instant childhood favorites called "minions." Remember when Disney was known for family entertainment? Er, not so much this weekend ......

Ole Bornedal Helms Denmark's Most Expensive Television Series Ever, Check First Stills From Period War Piece 1864

Posted: 07 Jul 2013 01:30 PM PDT

Danish director Ole Bornedal - much loved in these parts for films such as Deliver Us From Evil and The Substitute - is sure to make a major splash across Europe with his current project, though he's moving from big screens to small to do so as the director of 1864, a period set television series revolving around the Battle of Dybbøl which stands to be Denmark's most expensive television production ever."1864" was a fateful year for Denmark. The nation lost the Battle of Dybbøl to the Prussians and, in turn, two thirds of its land and population, 5,000 troops and a good measure of self-respect. The ignominious defeat became a national trauma that can still make Danes feel small.With a cast that includes Sidse...

Hey, Scotland! See a Preview Screening of CITADEL This Tuesday!

Posted: 07 Jul 2013 10:00 AM PDT

We here at Twitch are big fans of Ciaran Foy's feature film debut Citadel. It's an intense, tight horror film that examines a young man's crippling agoraphobia in the wake of a violent attack by strange youths that leaves his wife dead. Our own Brian Clark described it as "one of the most intense depictions of pure fear I've ever seen", and it was on my top 20 list of last year. Mixing monsters will the real-life terrors of poverty and isolation, it's both personal and incredibly relatable, particularly to those with knowledge of life on Britain's social housing estates, where crime is often rampant with seemingly no way out.The film is due for release on Friday, July 12, and there are four preview screenings on...
