Tom Hardy Is Ready For His Extreme Close-up, Mr. DeMille!

Tom Hardy Is Ready For His Extreme Close-up, Mr. DeMille!

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 03:00 AM PST

Tom Hardy is one of those actors who popped up once in a while in a supporting role, but had an anonymous-enough face to not really stick around in my memory. Well, that changed a couple of years ago, with two stellar roles in a row. He blew me away in a lead role where he had to carry the entire film, and in the major blockbuster he starred in afterwards, he was a very memorable supporting actor. What really impressed me, though, was that it took me more than an hour to recognize him as the same actor! Ever since then, I've been a fan of Tom Hardy, and rightly so, as he has added more excellent performances to his resumé. Rest assured I...

CinemaOne 2013 Review: Miko Livelo's BLUE BUSTAMANTE is an Emotionally Affecting Charmer Despite Obvious Rough Edges

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST

It is inevitable for the Philippines, a country whose economy thrives because of the inward remittances of its overseas workers, to develop a film culture that revolves specifically around the experiences of those expatriated breadwinners and the families they left behind. It is perhaps the penchant for Filipinos for melodrama that eventually shaped the unique genre into what it is now: an enduring portrait of marginalized sector that has become most famous for its selfless sacrifices. From Joel Lamangan's The Flor Contemplacion Story (1995), a dramatization of the life and death of a domestic helper in Singapore, to Hannah Espia's Transit (2013), about a family in Israel being threatened of deportation, overseas Filipino workers are consistently depicted in a state of physical, emotional or...

Five Flavours 2013 Review: POOR FOLK Offers A Harrowing Insight Into Lives Of Burmese Refugees

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST

Midi Z's life story lead him from a childhood in civil-war-torn Burma (commonly known as Myanmar) to Taiwan, where he attended university and works as a filmmaker up to this day. During Q&A with the audience the artist described Poor Folk as a film, which on a very personal level refers to his own experiences. He later explained thoroughly how the picture relates specifically to many ubiquitous complications caused by the process of migration and its often-harrowing influence on a person's life. That being the case, it's undeniably true that the director's sophomore feature emerges as an insightful and devastating example of a situation, where such difficult decisions as changing where we live are forced upon us by many different, unpredictable factors.For those, who might...

Mórbido Fest 2013, Dispatch Numero Uno: Opening Night

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 11:00 AM PST

It's 1 AM in the lakeside town of Pátzcuaro, Mexico and I am witnessing for the first time a particularly spirited sight that has become something of a legend on the genre festival circuit: Nacho Vigalondo is dancing. It's the opening night party of the 6th annual Mórbido Fest (aka El Festival Internacional de Cine Fantástico y de Terror Mórbido), and the Timecrimes director is attempting to balance a drink on his head why he struts his stuff to the delight of party goers. For me, this is where the night ends. It's been a long journey from Los Angeles and it's time to do my job and write; something I've not had the energy to do in nearly 48 hours. But now with a...

Review: 12-12-12, Enjoyable, Musically Interesting, and Cinematically Satisfying

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST

The concert documentary 12/12/12 does a great job of situating the event within a larger context. A show intended to benefit those afflicted by Hurricane Sandy, this was modeled after the 9/11 concert that was in part organized by Hollywood honcho Harvey Weinstein. Combined with the heads of Clear Channel (John Sykes) and Madison Square Garden (Jim Dolan), these three producers and their team pulled off a massive show on very short notice. Directors Amir bar Lev and Charlie Lighting, together with their editors, manage something really quite extraordinary, doing a fabulous job of making it feel like a real-time unfolding of the show. Cutting between the stage, backstage, and in various locations such as local bars, as audience members we're made to feel a...

Review: NEBRASKA, A Long Drive With A Charming Destination

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST

Alexander Payne is on some kind of hot streak, with all four of his major features receiving Oscar nominations and his last two (Sideways and The Descendants) both earning Best Picture nominations and taking home statues for Best Adapted Screenplay. His latest, Nebraska, may have a bit of an uphill battle to keep the streak alive. Set to be released on the heels (by Payne's standard) of 2011's The Descendants, the charming film is a fair bit less accessible due to some pacing problems and the odd decision to shoot it in black and white. But once it gets going, the comic moments are pure Payne gold -- and the kind of heartwarming fare that the Academy might just flip for once again. Set mainly...

NOAH: Watch Two Trailers For Aronofsky's Biblical Epic

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 08:45 AM PST

Ray Winstone does not appear to be happy about getting wet in Darren Aronofsky's Noah. And you know what else isn't? Pretty much everyone and everything other than those fortunate enough to get aboard the big boat at the core of the story. While Aronofsky continues to wrangle with studio suits over what form the film will eventually be in when it hits the big screen - Aronofsky holds the hammer in that particular argument, as he is contractually guaranteed final cut - a pair of trailers have arrived to give us all our first look at his take on the world's first apocalypse story. Russell Crowe, Ray Winstone, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, Emma Watson, and Anthony Hopkins star. Take a look at...

CUBAN FURY: Nick Frost And Chris O'Dowd Dance Like Men In First Trailer

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 08:30 AM PST

If the thought of Shaun Of The Dead star Nick Frost as a former champion salsa dancer trying to regain past glory to win the girl puts a smile on your face then you, friend, are the target audience for James Griffiths' Cuban Fury. And Chris O'Dowd as Frost's salsa dancing rival and Deadwood's Ian McShane as his hard man instructor are just icing on the cake. It's all very silly, of course, and pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be. Take a look at the first trailer below....

Review: CHARLIE COUNTRYMAN, The Unnecessary Death Of A Potentially Good Movie

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST

Charlie Countryman is perhaps the worst film I've seen in a very, very long time. It stars Shia LaBeouf as the possibly-doomed titular character. Charlie just watched his mother (Melissa Leo, in the most tragically underused role possible) die at the hospital. After taking some painkillers to deal with his anxiety of what he just witnessed, he has an imaginary conversation with her, and she tells him to go on a trip to really start living life. It's supposed to be a coming-of-age love story, but it winds up being more of a coming-of-enrage story for us, the audience. When Charlie is on the plane to his new destination, he converses with an aggressively gregarious passenger. This passenger tells him about his daughter Gabi (Evan...

Jed finds himself in a spot of trouble when he crashes his race car in a small Italian town while participating in the Molte Miglia in Italy in 1955.
