JCVD Goes For The Funny Bone In Red Band WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Trailer Posted: 24 Jan 2014 09:30 PM PST Welcome To The Jungle opens in cinemas and on VOD February 7th and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Adam Brody, Kristen Schaal and Dennis Haysbert. To get us in the mood, a red band trailer for the film has now been unleashed.A group of unsuspecting office workers who find themselves stranded on a desert island when a corporate retreat led by unhinged former Marine Storm Rothchild (Van Damme) goes horribly wrong. Now Chris (Brody) and his co-workers must battle nature -- and each other -- to survive! JCVD has expressed a love for comedy in the past and this marks his first legitimate foray into the genre in an English language film - despite how some of his recent DTV offerings have been perceived. This time, at least,... |
Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:00 PM PST Yes. You read that right. A vampire western with a Farsi speaking cast. It's moody, and steely, and chock full of Lynchian atmosphere broadened by a Leone-esque scope. It's also in black and white and widescreen. If this doesn't sound oh so cool to the Twitch crowd, then I don't know what will. Thing is, that a great idea doesn't always mean a strong execution. And while A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night has enough great moments to knock it out of the park as a stellar short film, it's languid pacing doesn't constitute what increasingly feels like a hefty 104 minute running time. Director Ana Lily Amirpour's background in painting, design and music are certainly seen (and heard) in every stark frame... |
Get Your First Taste Of The Live Action ATTACK ON TITAN! Posted: 24 Jan 2014 02:00 PM PST Even though the Higuchi Shinji directed live action version of popular manga and anime Attack On Titan will not hit screens until 2015 you can get your first taste of his work now. No, it's not a trailer or even anything that will actually appear in the finished film. But it is indeed a live action Titan wreaking havoc thanks to an advertising arrangement struck between the film and Subaru.In the lead up to the film Higuchi has shot a new Titan themed television commercial for the auto maker and the results have been released online along with a good dose of behind the scenes footage showing how they're bringing these beasts to life. Take a look below!... |
Bruce McDonald Wants Your Short To Be Part Of HELLIONS! Check Out A New Still And Contest Details! Posted: 24 Jan 2014 01:30 PM PST Okay, all you aspiring filmmakers out there, here's a chance to be part of something very cool.Pontypool and Hard Core Logo director Bruce McDonald is currently in post on his latest film Hellions and he wants two minutes from you to include in the film. That's right, the Hellions producers are holding an open contest to find a two minute short film somehow themed around the color red to include within the feature itself. It can be a standalone short, a snippet of a proposed feature, a trailer for something that doesn't exist ... as long as it involves the color red it qualifies and the winning short will be included within the film itself - playing on a TV screen within the movie -... |
Sundance 2014 Review: THE DISOBEDIENT Is A Marvelously Absurdest Abstraction Of Young Adulthood Posted: 24 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST About half way into Serbian director Mina Djukic's feature debut, our heroes, Leni and Lazar (childhood loves reunited) get caught in a rather curious rain shower. As if by magic conjured by the cinematic gods themselves, the sunny summer fields are caught off guard, awash, leaving the bicycling pair soaked to the bone in mere seconds. It's a moment that could only happen as such in the movies. As is what comes next...Abandoning their bikes outside a provincial community hall, the old friends run inside screaming. They kiss the wedding portrait propped at the door, snag a handful of balloons, pop them, and grab any clothes they can from coat check, and with great gusto and abandon, crash the wedding. As they prance around the... |

Review: Chow Yun Fat Wins Big In FROM VEGAS TO MACAU Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST Chow Yun Fat and writer-director Wong Jing return to the casino floor in this light-hearted action comedy that casts Chow alongside Nicolas Tse and Chapman To as con artists out to take down an international gambling syndicate. With his trademark genre-blending style, Wong flits between action, comedy, romance and espionage, delivering a fast-paced, loosely-plotted caper that should play strongly over the Lunar New Year holidays. When his family becomes the target of a powerful underground gaming ring, Cool (Nicolas Tse) turns to legendary gambler and former Vegas security consultant "Magic Hands" Ken (Chow Yun Fat) for help. Cool wants to become Ken's protege, and also marry his daughter Rainbow (Kimmy Tong), but vengeance must come first. Initially reluctant, the cops eventually manage to woo Ken into... |

Check The First Images From CJ Wallis' Psycho-Sexual Thriller BB Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:30 AM PST Director CJ Wallis is now in post production on his psycho-sexual thriller BB and has been good enough to pass along the first images from the film.BB is the provocative story of a girl named Leah who, under the name "Candy Cummings", performs strip shows online from her apartment for thousands of strangers every day, never fully knowing the extent of evils that could be watching on the other side of the screen.Jennifer Mae plays the lead, take a look at her as Candy below.... |
Strasbourg 2013 Interview: David Perrault On His Film OUR HEROES DIED TONIGHT Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:00 AM PST One of my biggest discoveries at last year's Strasbourg Fantastic Film Festival, and subsequent favorite films of 2013, was David Perrault's Our Heroes Died Tonight (aka Our Heroes Are Dead Tonight). The film, as one French critic called it, is a 'generous declaration of love to cinema', which sounds about right. Masked wrestlers tussling with gangsters and love in the in the black and white Paris of film history, I suppose, is another way to describe it, although that has basically the same effect. Perrault's film is in the long tradition of French riffs on American genre, where the struggles in bistros and bedrooms are given equal weight to those in the ring. It brought the house down in Strasbourg. Twitch: Is it true that the idea... |
Hungarian Teen Sci-Fi Flick AURA Trailer Is Surrounded By An Invisible Force Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST In a lot of sci-fi flicks when an invisible force surrounds something it usually is a small town which allows the characters in the film a fair amount of real estate in which to run around scared in. In The Name Of Sherlock Holmes filmmaker Zsolt Bernath has chosen to confine his characters to a much smaller space in his next independent film, Aura. Four teens in a car, with the Hungarian version of Cronenberg's Clark Nova typewriter in the back, and not much else. We have the trailer from his next film and also some stills from the film to share with you. The full synopsis is below. Four kids, Tokyo, Pete, Adam and Esther wake up in their stranded car in an abandoned field only to find that the... |
Strasbourg 2013 Interview: Xan Cassavetes On Shooting Sex, Sibling Rivalry, And The Vampire's Kiss Posted: 24 Jan 2014 05:00 AM PST Xan Cassavetes has had one hell of a showbiz story. Daughter of John and Gena, she made her screen debut in her father's films Husbands and Minnie and Moskowitz. Trawling the Lower East Side art-punk scene during early 80's, she found herself at both KRS-One and Madonna's very first shows. Later, she toured for almost ten years with the group Shrine before taking up the family business in 2004 with the documentary Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession. We spoke this past fall at the incredible Strasbourg International Fantastic Film Festival, where her erotic vampire feature KIss of the Damned took the top prize. How many times do you get to write that? Twitch: Let's start with a softball question. Why chose this as your fiction debut? Well, I didn't choose it... |
