First Look At Seth MacFarlane's A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 03:00 AM PST

Does Neil Patrick Harris never look good in a suit? Above is our first look at some of the cast of Seth McFarlane's upcoming Western comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West. Left to right, you have NPH, then Amanda Seyfried, who plays McFarlane's girlfriend who leaves him, for NPH I presume. Then there is Charlize Theron, looking every bit the frontier woman and not the Christian Dior kind of Charlize Theron. And rounding off the picture is writer and director Seth MacFarlane. After a cowardly sheep farmer backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man. When a mysterious and beautiful woman rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when...

Review: COMMUNITY S5 EP01 & 02, RE-PILOT Proves You Can Go Home Again

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 09:00 PM PST

There's probably a good three to five paragraphs I could spend clumsily wading through the history of Community, with it's ups and downs, successes and pitfalls. But if you're reading this review that means you're most likely a fan; a survivor of that history, and so you know it by heart and it's been uplifting and disheartening. So let's just get to it...Season 5 is here. Creator Dan Harmon is back in the showrunner chair writing the wrongs of season 4, and quite possibly addressing the more off-the-rail moments of his own initial run. NBC debuted the first two episodes back to back tonight and rather than writing two full reviews, I'm gonna summarize both, then let the eps play off of each other a...

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES Explores New Territory, Gets Lost

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 08:30 PM PST

The fifth entrant in the Paranormal Activity found-footage series picks up its home video cameras, moves to a new location, and introduces a new set of characters with the same old problem: How do you make a movie about things that go bump in the night a compelling experience for audiences that have already seen all your old tricks? The makers of this film decided to approach the story from a different cultural perspective. Officially titled Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, I think it's fair to call it PA: Cuatro y Medio, reflecting its setting in a working-class Latino neighborhood in Oxnard, California. Rather than the spacious suburban dwellings depicted in the first four films, the action takes place largely in two apartments in a...

Review: THE ETERNAL RETURN OF ANTONIS PARASKEVAS, A Decently Weird And Hilariously Illuminating Greek Film

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 03:00 PM PST

The following is a powerful excerpt from the influential postmodern scribe and great mind, Don DeLillo, vividly illustrating man's paramount prerogative of lacanian fantasy and psycho-hygiene concealed in the inherent virtue of homo sapiens in the novel White Noise. "How much pleasure did you take as a kid, Lasher said, in imagining yourself dead? Never mind as a kid, Grappa said. I still do it all the time. Whenever I´m upset over something, I imagine all my friends, relatives and colleagues gathered at my bier. They are very, very sorry they weren't nicer to me while I lived. Self-pity is something I've worked very hard to maintain. Why abandon it just because you grow up? Self-pity is something that children are very good at, which...

Crowdfund This: Scifi Short AURORAS

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 02:00 PM PST

While the holidays have kept me too busy to tackle my (supposedly) regular Crowdfund This column for the last couple weeks that doesn't mean we're not still seeing a lot of intriguing projects looking for support. And one such project is Niles Heckman's scifi short Auroras.In a metropolis at the north pole on planet Earth, a female cyborg ("The Occupant") is called on a mandatory long term mission to travel along a space elevator through the Aurora Borealis to serve aboard Space Gate Auroras. Forcing her to leave her pregnant partner, another female cyborg ("The Loved One"), and say goodbye for an extended period. Two women, human or not, in love. Having to separate and say goodbye for an extended period of time as one...

Pay A Visit To TOMBVILLE With The First Trailer

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST

I first came across Belgian director Nikolas List all the way back in 2006 with his short film Ange, and exercise in beautifully macabre body horror that left many who say it convinced that it would be just a short step for List to move from the short film world to features. Well, that step often proves to be more difficult than anticipated but he's taken it and now offers up the first trailer for his microbudget feature debut, Tombville.A Lynchian headscratcher that turns western tropes on their ear, Tombville  follows a young man who wakes up on the outskirts of the titular town, a town populated with a variety of bizarre inhabitants which he simply cannot leave. Take a look at the trailer below....

Twitch's Best Of 2013 - Best Director

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST

The year that was 2013 has 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.  Behind every great film there is its director, the captain of the ship, guiding the project from page to screen. This years selection of championed auteurs runs the gamut from revered masters still performing at the top of their game decades into their career, to young up-and-coming filmmakers whose impact on the medium has been powerful and immediate, and whose influence may yet be felt for years to come. Here's our...

Interview: Gonzalo López-Gallego Unearths the Secrets of OPEN GRAVE

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST

"We know who we are because of the people who we have around, or because of our memories. We all want to be good, but we have good things or wrongs things we do that we aren't happy with." That's director Gonzalo López-Gallego on the hook of Open Grave, his horror thriller opening in limited theatrical release this week from Tribeca Films. In it, Sharlto Copely plays "John," a man who wakes in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of how he got there or even who he is. When he encounters the film's likewise afflicted ensemble of characters, John and the others must piece together what happened and why some of the locals are going homicidal. López-Gallego says he loved the Blacklist-ranking...

Review: BEYOND OUTRAGE Brings Back The Violence

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST

Any fan of Japanese cinema from the last few decades knows: If there is a gun in your face, the last person you want to see on the other end is Kitano Takeshi (or rather his actor-ly persona Beat Takeshi). That no nonsense, guns-blazing side of Kitano took a hiatus for a few years while he pursued a more sensitive artistic side, but returned two years ago with his Yakuza comeback tour de force Outrage (you can find our review roundup here). One dose of Kitano ultra-violence wasn't nearly enough, and the man has heard our pleas, returning with the second part of the saga, Beyond Outrage. While it has all the trappings of the middle chapter of what's bound to be a trilogy, the...

Marshy's 11 Favourite Asian Movies Of 2013 Part 2

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST

Every six months I like to reflect on my favourite new Asian films of the period, and 2013 has proved a particularly strong year. Asian Cinema featured very strongly at the Cannes Film Festival, scoring a number of award victories and at Fantastic Fest in September, Asian films swept the board in the Gutbuster comedy categories.Having seen well over 100 new Asian films in 2013, it is impossible to list everything that I have enjoyed or wish to recommend. Part of the reason for producing these lists every six months, rather than annually, is to give as much exposure as possible to the films I have enjoyed - but it is almost guaranteed that some genuinely great films will have to make way for others. That...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHANGHAI: Philip Ng, Andy On And Sammo Hung Lay The Old School Beat Downs In Theatrical Trailers

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 08:30 AM PST

The Wong Ching Po directed, Yuen Woo Ping choreographed martial arts film Once Upon A Time In Shanghai is rapidly approaching its theatrical release in Chinese speaking territories and that means the arrival of the proper theatrical teaser and trailer. And that means Philip Ng, Andy On and Sammo Hung throwing down old school style.Yeah, this is a throwback in the right way - a period set exhibition of fighting skills featuring a bunch of guys who can really, really fight all under the watchful eye of one of the better young directors in the area. The story is as basic as it comes - Ng plays a laborer just trying to make a living in Shanghai who ends up relying on his fighting skills...

Ghibli Retrospective: The Kids Talk THE CAT RETURNS

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 08:00 AM PST

Willem (age 10) and Miranda (now age 9) are spending time with the work of Takahata Isao, for this second Studio Ghibli marathon on the big screen. After taking in the heaviest Studio Ghibli film last week, Grave of the Fireflies, they sit back, relax and have a lot of fun with perhaps the airiest, most trivial film the studio has made, The Cat Retuns - Morita Hiroyuki's loose spin off of the Baron character from Whisper of the Heart.  Twitch is certainly not the youngest of movie websites, and a several writers have children who are old enough to understand and consume media in a way that is raw and fresh, but also with the inklings of consideration. In short, this is the age where many...

Review: SHERLOCK S3E01, THE EMPTY HEARSE Marks A Welcome Return

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 07:30 AM PST

Two years on from plunging to his apparent death before the horrified eyes of his closest - and very nearly only - friend and compatriot John Watson the great Sherlock Holmes makes his return with BBC fave Sherlock hitting the airwaves in the UK last night with the debut of its third series. And, yes, it was very much worth the wait.Having spent the interval between seasons traveling the globe rooting out the last vestiges of James Moriarty's criminal network in the employ of elder brother Mycroft - meaning, yes, there were others involved in the staging of Holmes' demise and Watson was very intentionally left out of the loop - Sherlock is summoned home at last to look into a mysterious terrorist organization planning...
