Lots Of New Character Posters For OVERHEARD 3

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 04:06 AM PDT

Felix Chong and Alan Mak are getting ready to unleash the third in their Overheard series of audio surveillance thrillers, and have just released these images of their rogues gallery. The previous films did not follow the same characters, and the third installment will also feature an entirely new story, but many of the same cast will return.In the images below we see Lau Ching Wan, Alex Fong, Gordon Lam, Lam Ka Wah, Kenneth Tsang and Ng Man Tat, who are being billed as the "Hong Kong Tyrant Full Collection", and the plot of Overheard 3 this time revolves around a group of unscrupulous land owners looking to increase their fortune. Daniel Wu and Louis Koo also star in the film, but clearly appear on...

Review: DIANA Is A MineField Of Poor Decisions And Missed Opportunities

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 03:15 AM PDT

From its risible dialogue to its strangely affected central performance, Oliver Hirschbiegel's dramatisation of Diana's final years is an uncomfortable and mostly tedious affair that feels perpetually in fear of revealing anything even remotely interesting about the ill-fated People's Princess. When Diana, Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August, 1997, it became, like the Kennedy Assassination before it, a defining moment for a generation. Perhaps eclipsed a few years later by the events of 9/11, everyone still remembers where they were when they heard the news that she had died. For me, it's a story that remains a particular favourite, for the simple fact that the circumstances were rather bizarre. I was on summer holiday following my first...

Feratum 2013 Review: APIO VERDE, A Serious And Striking Pro-Choice Effort

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:30 PM PDT

Considering I watched Apio Verde at the International Festival of Fantastic, Terror and Science Fiction Films (Feratum), I expected something a bit different from what we got. I expected, yes, a brutal film about the abortion issue but with some crazy fantastic elements attached to its natural horror. Francesc Morales' film doesn't need anything like that, after all we are dealing with the story of a young woman (star Catherine Mozoyer doing a terrific job) who's living a tragic pregnancy: her baby won't survive due the anencephaly disorder and, eventually, her life will be in danger too. While the movie has some classic physiological horror through its main character (her mind imagines dark things), Morales' main intention is achieving an explicit denouncement against the unjustified...

See The Zombie Kangaroo In Action In A Behind The Scenes Clip From WATERBORNE

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:30 PM PDT

Beware the undead marsupial for who knows what horrors lie within its pouch ...Twitch has been closely following the development of Ryan Coonan's zombie kangaroo short film Waterborne - I was personally a supporter of their crowd funding campaign - for some time now. It's got a zombie kangaroo, after all, one created through the use of practical effects, and the materials released so far have all looked stellar. Years of drought, flood, and fluctuating environmental conditions have taken their toll on a small country town. When a local ranger finds an unidentified algae multiplying in the water supply, he knows that something's not right - but it's not til the sun goes town that he realises the true extent of the danger.The patience of...

Quentin Tarantino's Top Ten Films Of The Year: From GRAVITY To THE LONE RANGER

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:30 PM PDT

Quentin Tarantino sure loves making top lists. Aside of his contributions to the Sight & Sound polls, there's Tarantino's favorite films since Reservoir Dogs, spaghetti westerns, grindhouse films and even death scenes and killer movie moments. While his genre knowledge is respected, his "top films of the year" list is always, to say the least, controversial. From preferring the Jonah Hill/Russell Brand comedy Get Him to the Greek over David O. Russell's The Fighter to giving Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive a "nice try award", Tarantino has been offering juicy material to his detractors almost each year. And now, QT's "top ten films of 2013" comes a bit early, surprisingly excluding such efforts as Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim and Edgar Wright's The World's End but...

Trailer Alert: Check The New Red Band Trailer For Argento's DRACULA 3D!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:00 PM PDT

"...In All Its Awfulness", I easily could have added. Because oh boy... does this look bad in places. Basically this trailer takes the fun bits of the old industry screener we saw years ago, it adds a few more fun bits, and that is good news. What is definitely NOT good news, is that the cgi in the finished film still looks as much like a work-in-progress as it previously did. As does the color timing and the lighting. Still, to be honest, this does look entertaining. And 3D actually does look better when there is enough light around, so that might explain why Dario Argento chose to make it all look as bright as it does. Making the rest of the film seem like...

Review: In Grim, Glacial Western GOLD, It's All Guts, No Glory

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

German director Thomas Arslan's first foray into historical period filmmaking is a methodical, glacial western, bereft of the rugged grandeur and macho posturing that one usually associates with the genre. While Arslan's story retains a certain mythological aspect that is largely associated with the late 1800s and adventure, his interests do not lie in rousing set pieces or harrowing escapes. Instead, he is interested in the moments of waiting and the moments of labored, intense, routine movement. Following a group of Deutsch expats in 1898 Canada on their way to the Klondike gold rush, he urges his audience to feel the grind of that routine; to become hypnotized and worn down by its myopic and increasingly insane fortitude.      As a filmmaker Arslan's temperament...

Interview: Kirk Hammett Talks METALLICA: THROUGH THE NEVER

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

Talk to Metallica? Every once in a while I run into the great big geek in my head who gets honestly star struck at the thought of meeting someone. The chance to sit with Kirk Hammett  in support of , Metallica: Through The Never was worth missing one of my coveted screenings at Fantastic Fest this year. I already knew that Kirk Hammett and I had something in common. We're both big horror memorabilia collectors, and part of the monster generation.  Twitch: One of the reasons I was so excited to talk to you is that we're both monster kids.Kirk Hammett: Yeah! Forrest J. Ackerman! Yup. Went to Forrest's house before the collection was split up, went to Bob Burns house the same day. I will...

Interview: Yuasa Masaaki Talks About Anime! Part 2 of 2: Film, Music and Eroticism...

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT

In part one of our interview with renowned animator Yuasa Masaaki, we covered the release of his new short Kick-Heart, the way it was produced and funded. In this second -- and much longer -- part, we cover pretty much everything else! Money, films, music, inspiration, work and sex... you name it. Read on... A few months ago, we published a list of directors who we'd love to give 100,000,000 dollars to make a film, anything they'd like, just to see what they'd do with such a budget. You were on that list. So my question is: what would you create with that amount for a project? Oh, it's hard to think of spending that on one film although that would be nice. I'd rather...

Hey, America! Watch South African Crime Noir HOW TO STEAL 2 MILLION Now!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Hey, America! Charlie Vundla's South African crime noir How To Steal 2 Million is available online right now at iTunes, Amazon and YouTube and you should watch it. Really. Right now. We were first wowed by the trailer for this one back in August of 2011 before it went on to screen at Fantastic Fest - where Peter Martin had good things to say - and before it went on to win four African Academy Awards. It's becoming increasingly clear that things are changing and changing fast in African cinema and this film is one of the vanguard helping to bring those changes about. It's also hugely entertaining. So check out the trailer below and then hit the links above if it catches your interest....

New York Film Fest 2013 Review: WHEN EVENING FALLS ON BUCHAREST OR METABOLISM Interrogates The Film Medium With Elegance And Sly Humor

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:00 AM PDT

Corneliu Porumboiu, with just three features now under his belt, has established himself as one of the finest filmmakers of the Romanian new wave. His previous films 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006) and Police, Adjective (2009) impressed film festival audiences and arthouse aficionados with their minimalist, yet darkly comic scenarios, which interrogated both language and cinematic styles with intellectual and structural rigor. Police, Adjective, especially, worked well as a brilliant deconstruction of the police procedural, using sustained long takes, capped by a chilling demonstration of how language works to support unyielding state authority, to powerfully illustrate its themes.Porumboiu's latest, the cryptically titled When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism, finds him employing his penchant for long takes to interrogate cinematic form itself. He uses a...

Feratum 2013 Dispatch, Day 3: Masters of Horror's Master Class And A Perfect Closing With BIG BAD WOLVES!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:30 AM PDT

While the very last Feratum 2013 screening was scheduled at 7 PM on October 6, the film press returned to Mexico City that same day around 1:30 PM, hence day three of the festival (Saturday, October 5) was really my last one. It began early in the morning with a showing of the really striking Chilean film Apio Verde. Exploring mostly real-life horror, it's worth watching stuff, with a serious and explicit denounce against the abortion law of that South American country. As you can read in the Feratum dispatch of day one, opening film The Rambler suffered of technical problems and wasn't exhibited in its entirety. It was scheduled again for Saturday, taking the spot originally designated to the Chilean effort The Gravity of...
