Twitch's Best of 2013 - Best Supporting Performance

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 01:08 AM PST

The year that was 2013 has almost run its course, so the time has come for Team Twitch to pool its ever-growing troupe of contributors from the four corners of the planet, gather its collective thoughts and pay special tribute to those films that have made a particularly strong impact over the past twelve months. While everybody remembers the show-stopping performances from the glamourous A-listers in the lead roles, the ones with the dramatic arcs, unresolved issues and bountiful opportunities to blow the audience's socks off, they would be nowhere without their supporting cast (unless they're Robert Redford, but hey!).  Below are a collection of our favourite supporting performances from 2013 from some of the finst actors and actresses working today....

Elijah Wood Plays For His Life In New GRAND PIANO Trailer

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:00 PM PST

It's piano playing, TO THE DEATH! And, yes, while the premise for the Eugenio Mira directed / Elijah Wood starring thriller Grand Piano may sound a little ... odd, the execution is so spot on that the film became a runaway hit amongst critics and the general audience when it had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest. Tom Selznick, the most talented pianist of his generation, stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public in a long-awaited concert in Chicago. In a packed theater, in front of the expectant audience, Tom finds a message written on the score: "Play one wrong note and you die." Without leaving the piano, Tom must discover the anonymous sniper's...

Greg Christie's FEAR AND LOATHING Series Could Exist In The Real, Actual World With Your Help!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 11:30 AM PST

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you what I am reasonably certain is the world's first ever crowd funding campaign to offer black light erotica as a supporter reward. And that can only mean one thing: Twitch's resident madman, Greg Christie, is up to his old tricks.As regular readers here already know, Christie has been responsible for a series of utterly outlandish articles over the past few years, articles that ran disguised as film festival coverage for events that Greg had (mostly) not actually attended while skewering the scene with such accuracy that it was almost impossible to tell what was real, what was not, and after a certain point who the hell cared, anyway, because they were so much fun to read. Also, they...

Ghibli Retrospective: The Kids Talk ONLY YESTERDAY

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 10:00 AM PST

TIFF Bell Lightbox is running an another Studio Ghibli retrospective in December and January, which has expanded the number of titles (old and new) from the very successful previous 2012 run in Toronto.This time out, Willem (age 10) and Miranda (now age 9) are spending time with the work of Takahata-san, after dipping their toes in with Pom Poko last year, they head into his more mature and contemplative work, Only Yesterday. Up for discussion:  How 1960s Tokyo compares to 2013 Toronto, a first taste of pineapple, flashbacks and narrative time travel and safflower dye and menstruation.  Not your typical kids conversation, but there you have it.Twitch is certainly not the youngest of movie websites, and a several writers have children who are old enough...

Review: ANCHORMAN 2 - THE LEGEND CONTINUES Tickles The Genitalia

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:30 AM PST

Beowulf. Lancelot. Ron Burgundy. Legendary characters of mythology, heroic figures that transcend space, time, and good taste. But only one had a mustache that would provoke eruptive disturbances in the the genitalian region of even the most ascetic of deities, causing songs to be sung in praise by the simple, common folk who consider him far more than a mere mortal with salon-ready hair, piercingly intelligent eyes and his frame cloaked in a flame-encouraging suit.We are told by the title that The Legend Continues, and by any critical measure you can be assured that the story does, in fact, continue. There's a deep, profound, spelunking-the-bottomless-truthiness to this title. You're being given what you've getting - right there, smack dab in the middle of your screen,...

Review: Spike Jonze's HER Is The New Anthem For The Millennial Generation

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:00 AM PST

It's hard to believe that Her is only Spike Jonze's fourth feature film, since he has been in our pop-culture consciousness for a long time. With his innovative music videos and films, he's always been creating worlds that are both familiar yet just ahead of the curve. Directing a feature written solely by himself for the first time, Jonze creates a surprisingly thoughtful and tender film here. In a mere two-hour running time, Her raises a lot of important issues about our society, which is heavily dependent on technology. And it's bound to be a cult classic. Her refers to the new computer operating system that our sad sack protagonist Theodore Twombly (played beautifully by Joaquin Phoenix) falls in love with. She is a cross...

SPRING Is Springing To Life With A Set Visit & Photos

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

Late November. A field in Italy. Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, producer David Lawson, the actors and crew of the film Spring have arrived to shoot the final scene. This is the day: they must get the shot, and it must be a clear sky. While it was raining in Polignano (their shooting base), the weather apps on everyone's phones said it would be sunny. But the rain continued, and when they arrived at the location, it was a torrential downpour. While the forecast teased them with the icon of bright yellow sun, the sky showed only grey. The guys were getting desperate and ready to sacrifice something or someone to the ancient Roman gods. Mario, the 1st Assistant Director, told them that another...

Pretty Packaging: Take A Look At Criterion's Whopping 27-Disc ZATOICHI Boxset

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 05:00 AM PST

(Mirror, mirror on the wall, THIS is the prettiest of them all!) When Criterion announced they were going to release all 25 Zatoichi films in one big boxset, we rejoiced in no small way. Criterion is of course one of the most respected distributors in the business, a brand almost synonymous with high-end quality. Most of the time their releases focus on a single film, but the exceptions to that rule have always been spectacular. However, I do not think anyone expected them to ever release such a large series in its entirety in one go. All 25 original Katsu Shintarō Zatoichi films released between 1962 and 1973 are here, on both DVD and Blu-ray. With extras, this means a grand total of 27...
