| Posted: 26 Nov 2013 03:00 PM PST  Well, here's something intriguing. Tate Britain - one of the world's leading art galleries and certainly the leading repository of British art in the world - has just re-opened following an extensive renovation and rejuvenation and to celebrate they've gathered a collection of artists from across several disciplines to talk about the British art masters who have informed their own work. And among them are filmmakers Christopher Nolan, Ken Loach and Mike Leigh. What do they have to say about things? Take a look in the gallery below to see ... and click here to visit the official Tate Britain website.... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| NINJA 2: Scott Adkins Needs A Lot More Than Two Graves To Contain The Second Trailer Posted: 26 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST  Action star Scott Adkins and director Isaac Florentine reunite with the upcoming Ninja 2: Shadow Of A Tear and the results are, typically, fantastic. Florentine and Adkins are jointly responsible for a handful of the finest American martial arts films released in the last decade and when Ninja 2 had its world premiere at this year's Fantastic Fest it very nearly tore the roof off the place. In terms of the current roster of international screen fighters Adkins is very clearly in the top handful while Florentine simply stages and shoots action as well as anyone in the business. Don't believe me? Check out the new trailer for the film below. Fight everyone and trust no one: it's the code of survival practiced by martial... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Watch Jonathan Caouette's ALL FLOWERS IN TIME Posted: 26 Nov 2013 01:35 PM PST  After causing something of a sensation with his debut feature Tarnation, director Jonathan Caouette went and got himself all weirded up for his subsequent Chloe Sevigny starring short film All Flowers In Time. How weird? Well, here's the official synopsis:"I am not from this place" declares a French cowboy. An old toothless man asks, "Do you know why you're here?". These shape shifting personalities infect young children with an evil signal in the form of a Dutch TV show. The red eyed girls and boys believe they can now become other people and monsters much to their delight.Yep, this is essentially Caouette doing the sort of thing David Lynch hasn't done for quite some time now and doing it quite well. The short was fairly... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Which HERCULES Is This? THE LEGEND BEGINS Trailer Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:30 PM PST  The movie formerly known as Hercules 3D has been rechristened Hercules: The Legend Begins, though a brand new trailer does little to distinguish it. Kellan Lutz stars as the titular -- and taciturn, apparently -- character, the half-god, half-man whose origin story will be told. The great Scott Adkins also stars, along with Liam McIntyre, from TV's Spartacus. Renny Harlin directed; the trailer drenches the action in color tinting that's strongly reminiscent of Zack Snyder's 300, a notion that's reinforced with the extreme slow-motion jabs and thrusts. This is one of two Hercules movies due out next year. The other one stars Dwayne Johnson and is directed by Brett Ratner, and reportedly has a much bigger budget, but obviously that's no guarantee of success. Last...

| Review: Spike Lee's OLDBOY, A Failed Attempt At Something New Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST  The easiest thing to do with Spike Lee's latest work, a "don't call it a remake" of Park Chan-wook's 2003 film Oldboy, is to simply dismiss it. Know that this isn't a particularly good film, let alone a capable remake. It feels burdened by stilted direction and gormless editing, and in some ways defiles the original work by making overt what was far more subtle in the original. Still, maybe out of some sense of empathy, I feel bad for this film. Based on pure conjecture (combined with some overt visual and story-line cues), I'm going out on a limb and thinking that screenwriter Mark Protosevich wasn't just a hired gun, but probably totally loves Park's original. I think the film is a deeply... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Posted: 26 Nov 2013 11:30 AM PST  Film Independent's Independent Spirit Award nominations have just been announced and the films that didn't make the Best Feature list are as big of a story as those that did. Really it's a testament to the strong year in indie cinema that so many missing films feel like snubs. But there can be only five and that means favorites like Before Midnight, Short Term 12, The Spectacular Now, Dallas Buyers Club, and Ain't Them Bodies Saints are left out in the cold. While Jeff Nichols Mud was also left off the Best Feature list, it will be honored as this year's recipient of the prestigious Robert Altman award. Here is the full list of nominations:BEST FEATURE 12 Years a Slave All Is Lost Frances... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Crowdfund This! THERE WILL BE NO STAY - The Executioner's Documentary Posted: 26 Nov 2013 11:00 AM PST  You might have caught Todd's awesome new Crowdfund This! Feature this weekend and there are quite a few great projects worth your coins over there. We've got one more supplemental film campaign you have got to check out! There Will Be No Stay is a documentary taking you deep inside the dark world of capital punishment with interviews with the switch-throwers themselves. This modern day look at the ancient occupation of the executioner is going to be a hell of a lot scarier than most horror chillers. Plus it is brought to us by the good people at Arcanum Pictures, so we know the level of quality will be up to snuff. The team is trying to raise $30k total and with 15 days...

| Review: FROZEN, An Instant Disney Classic Posted: 26 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST  A true delight, Frozen is a visually spectacular retelling of a fairy tale done with the kind of gumption and bravado for which classic Disney animation gained its reputation. What Frozen is not, fortunately, is the type of film that Disney Studios marketing presents it as being. Clips of funny creatures and carrot nosed sidekicks do speak to the worst impulse of many so-called "children's films". Yet Frozen lives among those those very few that transcend the form, movies that work on the level of modern myth-making that speaks to both young and old alike. Disney has a "treasure" moniker that gets far too easily applied by the corporation to many of its works, so it's nice to see when the lofty nomenclature seems entirely...

| Review: CAUGHT IN THE WEB Chooses Love Over China's Netizens Posted: 26 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST  After the critical and commercial success of his excellent period thriller, Sacrifice, in 2010, which marked a perceived comeback for the Farewell My Concubine director, Chen Kaige turns his attention once again to the lives of modern Chinese citizens and examines how shifts in national culture affect the individual. In Caught in the Web, it is the media, and more specifically China's savage netizen culture, that is placed under the microscope. The film focuses on two ambitious young women struggling to get ahead in Beijing's ultra modern, ultra competitive business world, and how the anonymous unforgiving masses of the online community threaten to destroy both their lives. Attractive, successful and good-natured, executive secretary Ye Lanqiu (Gao Yuanyuan) discovers at a routine medical checkup that she... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| OLDBOY: Screenwriter And Producer Mark Protosevich Talks Blasphemy, Honor, And Respect Posted: 26 Nov 2013 06:00 AM PST  Controversy has followed the US remake of the classic Korean psychodrama, Oldboy, since its proposal years ago. I had a few words with screenwriter/co-producer Mark Protosevich, who has been along for the film's entire ride from Will Smith and Steven Spielberg to Spike Lee.The Lady Miz Diva: What were the important points you had to keep from the original film and manga? The irreplaceable moments?Mark Protosevich: The core story is you've got this incredibly intriguing concept of the imprisonment; of being in this room and not knowing why. And then being confronted by someone who you have no idea who they are, and then learning that they've done this to you, and then you are put in this situation where you have to figure out...
