Morelia 2013 Interview: Sebastián Lelio Talks GLORIA And Jodorowsky

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 03:00 AM PDT

Gloria, Chile's Oscar submission, premiered in Mexico at the Morelia Film Festival. The director Sebastián Lelio made his first ever trip to Mexico and dedicated the Gloria screening to Alejandro Jodorowsky, who's also in Morelia. Friday (October 25) was a long day for Lelio and the very last interview he gave was to Twitch. Visibly tired and a bit annoyed after some hours of press junkets, Lelio sat down and talked with me for 5 minutes about Paulina García (the actress who plays the titular character), the Gloria soundtrack and Jodorowsky. Twitch: Non-Chilean audiences might not know much about actress Paulina García. Tell me more about her trajectory and how you began admiring her. Sebastián Lelio: Paulina is a very recognized actress and theater director, with...

BULLET BALLET: Watch The New Trailer From Tsukamoto's Remastered Masterpiece!

Posted: 26 Oct 2013 01:30 PM PDT

UK distributor Third Window Films have been doing the Lord's Work issuing a series of beautifully remastered, high definition versions of Tsukamoto Shinya's films and the latest fruits of their labor arrives on store shelves December 20th with the release of their remastered Blu-Ray release of early Tsukamoto classic Bullet Ballet.An immense personal favorite, Bullet Ballet represents, for me at least, the maturing point for what I consider his mid-period - a fertile period for the Japanese auteur that also includes pictures such as A Snake Of June, during which he moved away from the raw experimentalism of Tetsuo: The Iron Man and before he moved into a new kind of experimentation with Vital. As has been the case with all of the Third Window...

Troy Nixey Directing Donnie Yen In English Language Action Picture PRIORITY RUN

Posted: 26 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

It's amazing it's taken so long, really. Though he has spent the bulk of his career in Hong Kong and China where his history in martial arts films has made him one of the most bankable action stars in the world, English language films have always been a sensible end game for Donnie Yen. Born and raised in Boston, Yen speaks flawless English to the point that he frequently conducts interviews for the bonus features on his Hong Kong releases in English rather than Chinese. And yet he's never really crossed over thanks in large part to the restrictive contract he signed with Miramax back in the lead up to the handover of Hong Kong back to China - a period that saw Yen working...

Review: WALESA: MAN OF HOPE, A Compelling, Character-Driven Look At An Anti-Communist Hero

Posted: 26 Oct 2013 12:00 PM PDT

Being a charismatic, unhesitating, unstoppable leader and the main driving force of the underground Solidarity movement during the turbulent Communism period in post-war Poland, Lech Walesa has inevitably become a living legend and a symbol of independence not only for Polish citizens but also for the whole world. His unparalleled can-do attitude allowed him to break political boundaries, meaning that his totally peaceful and downright expressive fight for freedom inspired and opened the door for other countries of the Eastern block to engage in a bloodless battle against the evil regime. Walesa understood that plain actions, without thinking prematurely about their consequences, could unite a nation and ultimately lead it to a desired goal.Walesa: Man of Hope, directed by Andrzej Wajda, one of the most...

Review: In WHEN I WALK, A Filmmaker Chronicles His Own Illness With Heart, Humor And Inspiring Resiliency

Posted: 26 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

In 2006, 25 year-old Jason DaSilva experienced a moment that once and for all indicated that his life had irrevocably changed. While on the beach during a family vacation, he suddenly fell down and was unable to get up. As he and others struggle to get him on his feet again, he laughs it off, but subsequent events would prove that this was a deadly serious occurrence. Just a few months earlier, DaSilva had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis - primary progressive multiple sclerosis, to be exact, a particularly debilitating form of the disease that doctors told him would lead to loss of his vision and motor control. Up until that point, however, this seemed merely a theoretical possibility. But that fateful fall on the...

Rest In Piece, Hal Needham

Posted: 26 Oct 2013 10:31 AM PDT

Yesterday, Hollywood Reporter posted that legendary stunt man and stuntfilm-director Hal Needham has died from cancer, aged 82. Quite possibly the most famous all-round stunt man ever in the history of Hollywood, Hal Needham had a decades long career as a stunt double (and later stunt-coordinator) in the 50s, 60 and 70s. In 1976 he decided to have some fun and direct his friend Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit, based on an idea they had both developed. It was a huge financial success and the stunt-based comedy made car stunts almost a genre in itself. Not one to shy away from a successful formula, Hal Needham made a number of similar films like Hooper and The Cannonball Run, and a bunch of sequels....
