Review: Slovakia's 2013 Oscar Entry, MY DOG KILLER Tackles Racism With Potent Realism Posted: 25 Sep 2013 07:00 PM PDT The latest Slovak and Czech co-production, My Dog Killer is directed by young Slovak filmmaker Mira Fornay. The film happened to scoop up several awards on the international fest circuit (including Rotterdam) this past year, though the reaction on the home front has been rather lukewarm. The same scenario had occurred already with Fornay´s debut feature, Foxes, which premiered in the International Film Critics' Week Venice IFF 2009.Nonetheless My Dog Killer has been filling pages in the national newspapers since its premiere at Rotterdam and it winning the Hivos Tiger Award (the film continues to scoop awards all over the globe). It is now Slovakia´s submission for the Foreign Language category at the Academy Awards, as well as at the European Film Awards. Funnily enough,... |
Live Action PATLABOR News: It's A Series And Also A Movie ! Posted: 25 Sep 2013 06:00 PM PDT Remember that in March and July, there was news about a live-action Patlabor project, with original anime-creator Oshii Mamoru personally involved in some way? Well, yesterday, in a live-streamed press conference, all was officially revealed. And the news is: it's going to be a television series in 2014, followed by a theatrical film in 2015. Oshii Mamoru will direct the film, and some of the episodes of the series. Titled The Next Generation -Patlabor-, neither the series nor the movie is planned to be a reboot of the anime. Instead, the story takes place years after the adventures of the original teams. In 2013, a new Patlabor section has to patrol Tokyo, and while the series will have a slapstick comedy aspect to them, the... |
Fear & Loathing At Fantastic Fest 2013/2009, Part 4: The End Is Mighty F*cking Nigh Posted: 25 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT CHAPTER 10: KEEP AUSTIN WEIRDBefore there was the internet, there was public access television, an entirely open and free air space where anyone could create their own television program and present to the unassuming masses. And just like the internet, with no one to edit, produce, oversee, filter, or censor the DIY content, it was a Petri dish of strangeness that developed into a cesspool of wacko trolls standing tall on their cardboard soapboxes preaching their faulty ideologies and completely delusional manifestos to an unwilling public. The only main difference is that there was no intended post post modern irony. The majority of public access programs weren't weird for the sake of being weird; these weren't over educated art school kids writing analytical dissertations on... |
Review: DRAGON BALL Z: BATTLE OF GODS Lacks (Goku's) Power Posted: 25 Sep 2013 04:30 PM PDT Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of Gods is a really fun entry in Toriyama Akira's beloved universe that's just not up there with the most memorable ones. It manages to capture the absurdist essence of Dragon Ball very well, but disappoints in the other important regard. If you don't expect one epic Dragon Ball Z confrontation like those you grew up with, say Goku vs. Freeza or Gohan vs. Cell, you shouldn't end up dissatisfied with it. However, the premise (as well as the title with "battle" in it) speaks to both fans and newcomers equally: Goku is about to protect planet Earth once again as the threatening God of destruction Bills (aka Birusu) wakes up. Everything leads to this face-to-face duel so one should expect epic... |
Aaron Paul Has The NEED FOR SPEED. Now In Teaser Trailer Form Posted: 25 Sep 2013 02:00 PM PDT With Breaking Bad just about over what is one Mr. Jesse Pinkman to do? Well, if we can dream in operatic post-technicolor, he gets outta Dodge alive, and in one of them fancy suped up cars...I honestly had no clue that Aaron Paul was the lead in the big screen adaption of the long running video game series Need For Speed until I saw this teaser trailer. And in all seriousness this may be the best teaser in ages for what is likely to be a paint-by-the-numbers action flick (apologies stuntman-turned-director Scott Waugh). It certainly helps that your leading lady is Imogen Poots and your villain is Dominic Cooper. But what really makes the trailer great is its smooth, and at times glacial, but then... |
Posted: 25 Sep 2013 11:30 AM PDT Hey Montreal! Do you want to see the two movies that made our Lord and Master Todd eat his own shirt this past weekend in Austin? You can catch them in the Temps 0 lineup at this year's Montreal Festival of New Cinema!Matsumoto Hitoshi's R100 and Sono Sion's Why Don't You Go Play In Hell? join another eclectic lineup this year.

Fantastic Fest 2013 Review: COMMANDO - A ONE MAN ARMY Sings, Dances And Kicks You In The Face Posted: 25 Sep 2013 09:39 AM PDT Vidyut Jamwal stands to take the martial arts world by storm after a dynamic breakout performance here as the titular one man army in Dilip Ghosh's ridiculous but hugely entertaining Commando.When a routine training exercise goes wrong, leaving paratrooper commando Karan (Jamwal) stranded on the wrong side of the India-China border, his government is quick to disavow him and avoid an international incident. After enduring a year of brutal torture at the hands of the Chinese, Karan escapes only to cross paths with the beautiful Simrit (Pooja Chopra). With both the Chinese and Indian governments on his tail, Karan vents his anger at the politicians who screwed him over by waging a one-man war against AK 74 (Jaideep Ahlawat), the corrupt local official trying to... |
Destroy All Monsters: Mega-Franchises And The Death Of The Producer, Starring Jerry Bruckheimer Posted: 25 Sep 2013 08:00 AM PDT I don't know that it came as any enormous surprise to see Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney part ways from their longstanding first-look deal last week; in addition to producing the Mouse House's year-defining bomb (The Lone Ranger), a disaster so disastrous it made John Carter look like a financial (if not creative) success, Bruckheimer's tempo has noticeably slowed of late. Since 2010, he's produced just two motion pictures for the company - Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and the aforementioned Ranger - after a decade with the company that saw him turning out a franchise wannabe every year, or multiple times per year. Not for nothing, Bruckheimer's track record moved towards "spotty" a long time ago. The Pirates franchise defined the live action blockbuster model... |
