Review: SKINS S7E01, FIRE: PART 1 (Or, E4's Teen Drama Grows Up While Effy Encounters Difficulties At Work)

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 04:00 AM PDT

The return of Skins for a seventh series of specials that gets us caught up with three of the characters from the first two generations of the show is such an unusual decision by E4 that it has drawn me back into a drama that I tuned out of back in Series 5. The notion of not only getting to watch the characters but the show itself really grow up is more intriguing than I'd expected it to be and, for the most part, "Fire" shows that Skins might just be able to live up to that promise.These first two episodes focus on Effy Stonem (Kaya Scodelario), a character who was defined by her mysteriousness throughout the early portion of the show and then became...

More Music, More Melancholy In New Trailer For INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 01:30 PM PDT

Honestly, I'm not sure why we actually need three trailers for Joel and Ethan Coen's look into the folk music world of early 60s NYC, but here we have yet again Oscar Issacs as a vagabond-troubadour giving us a slight ping of deja vu for just about every man with an acoustic guitar from that era. Granted, yes, the reasons are keeping the audience interested for that still far off December U.S. release, but there isn't much new to gleam here that any previous trailer didn't already give us. Still, lots to admire in mood, cinematography and production design. Not to mention the music.If you'd like to get a further sense of Inside Llewyn Davis, than you can read Ryland's review of the film from...

NYAFF 2013 Review: A Breakdown of Christian Linaban's ABERYA

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 12:00 PM PDT

aberya (n): Tagalog, from the Spanish word avería, meaning "damage, breakdown, malfunction"; mechanical troubleIs there anything more frustrating than sitting in traffic? How about sitting in random, inexplicable traffic during off-peak hours? Where every stop-and-go inch tries your patience? That's what watching the first 30 minutes of Aberya is like.To continue the traffic analogy, maybe you contemplate alternate routes, or abandoning your trip entirely. Or, if you're stubborn like me, you wait it out, as infuriating as that can be. Eventually you get to the cause of the hold up, and your slow motion world goes into even slower motion as you join the ranks of the gawkers. Maybe it's a broken down POS, making you even angrier over the unnecessary rubbernecking. Or maybe it's...

Take Off, Eh!? Celebrate The Greatest Canadian Hoser Cinema

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Hoser (hōz ´әr): noun. 1. A clumsy, boorish person, especially an uncouth, beer-drinking man often clothed in a flannel lumberjack coat, Kodiak boots and a toque. 2. What you call your little brother when your mother isn't in the room. 3. A highly amusing subgenre of Canadian Cinema (i.e. Hoser Film) often containing a dark, yet poignant undertone.The Cinema of the Great White North is casually ignored by citizens of its own country and more often than not, the rest of the world with only a few points given for occasionally getting embraced in France. Many of the films made here are just American studio productions looking for tax breaks where production designers dress up Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto to look like cities south of...
