LA ILUSIÓN NACIONAL Trailer: Olallo Rubio Brings A Soccer Doc Prior The FIFA World Cup

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 08:30 PM PST

Back in 2012, Mexico had a presidential election that eventually was won by the PRI. One month before that election, an Olallo Rubio documentary (Gimme the Power) premiered and it was about the rock band Molotov, but it also worked as a resume of the history of Mexican presidents after the revolution (all of them but two were PRI members). Now that the 2014 FIFA World Cup is just months away, to be celebrated in Brazil, there's a new doc by Rubio coming and, you guessed right, it is about football (soccer). Detractors might call this Mexican director an opportunist and, to be fair, not even Rubio himself can blame them. That said, his documentaries are entertaining and now, judging from the first trailer of...

SXSW 2014: Midnighters Section Is Awash In New Horror Thrills

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 02:11 PM PST

Ten films will screen in the Midnighters section at SXSW this year, including the latest from Adrián García Bogliano, Eduardo Sanchez, and the French team of Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. Eight of the selections are world premieres, with the other two being Adam Wingard's The Guest, which debuted successfully at Sundance, and Mike Flanagan's Oculus, which premiered last fall in Toronto and is on its way to a wide release in the U.S. this spring. Of the premieres, Starry Eyes (pictured above) stands out, in part due to the premise, and in part due to producer Travis Stevens, who has a good track record (as in last year's SXSW premiering Cheap Thrills). And Stage Fright is from Jerome Sable, who did the amazing short...

Watch The Trailer For Korean Thriller INTRUDERS

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST

Daytime Drinking director Noh Young-seok's Intruders came into the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival as one of my most anticipated screenings, the story of a screenwriter in a remote cabin accosted by various locals as he tries to meet a deadline proving a strong lure. Noh has a well deserved reputation as one of the brightest young talents in Korea these days so expectations were quite high which made the screening somewhat perplexing as it both is and is not what you expect it to be. And that quality is one that has really helped the film to linger over time.But now you can get a taste of it yourself with the release of the first trailer. This focuses very much on the thriller elements...

Review: THE LEGO MOVIE Is Brickin' Fantastic

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 08:30 AM PST

Let's not bury the lede: The LEGO Movie, even this early into the season, is the best animated film of the year. I mean, sure, it's only February, but this is one of the funniest, most clever animated films in years. Not since Who Framed Roger Rabbit has a film both toyed with (pun intended) and adhered to (pun again!) what has come before, a beautiful balance between the novel and the unique. It's a kids film for adults, and an adult film for kids. Basically, just ignore the age that's listed on the box, it's only there as a guide.Story wise, it's as much a mash up as that bundle of bricks most of of us kept in some container. My LEGO Bricks were in a...

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST: Watch The Japanese Teaser

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 08:15 AM PST

To put it mildly, I did not like the first trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. At all. Enough so that I was hesitant to click on the new Japanese teaser for the film. I don't like it much better. It is, however, short.The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class in an epic battle that must change the past - to save our future. Watch the Japanese teaser below and then tell me I'm an idiot if you must....

KIDS POLICE And HENTAI KAMEN Director Tackles Tokusatsu! Watch The JOSHI ZU Teaser!

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST

2013 was something of a coming out year for Japanese writer-director Fukuda Yuichi. It's not like people didn't know who he was at home - a string of popular TV shows meant he was already well in the public eye there - but 2013 say Fukuda move from TV to feature films in a big way with three titles hitting Japanese screens, two of which - Kids Police and Hentai Kamen - hitting the festival circuit where they won a loyal following and more than a few awards.Fukuda's an odd one, a talented writer and director with an obvious fondness for goofy slapstick who blends that tendency with a legitimate talent for character and surprisingly complex storytelling. Both Kids Police and Hentai Kamen were films...

Tom Hiddleston Takes The Lead In Ben Wheatley's HIGH RISE

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 07:30 AM PST

Oh, now here's some very interesting news ...Kill List and Sightseers director Ben Wheatley confirmed late in 2013 hat he would be directing an adaptation of JG Ballard's dystopian novel High Rise for producer Jeremy Thomas which, in itself, was enough to capture attention. Thomas has been trying to get a film version of High Rise off the ground for ages with the most likely version before now having Vincenzo Natali attached to direct from a script he wrote with cult icon Richard Stanley. That version was never able to find the finance, hence the arrival of Wheatley and this version? Well, it's moving fast.Last night Wheatley posted the image above along with news that principal photography would commence in June. And, yes, Tom Hiddleston...

Destroy All Monsters: The Joker Effect

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST

The casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight has become the cure-all response to any outcries of disappointment about the casting of any major pop cultural characters in any major film, ever. (Heck, it nearly even worked on Batffleck.) Citing Heath Ledger's Joker as the ne plus ultra of out-of-the-box casting decisions works because that casting decision, itself, was based on such unassailably good reasoning. When he cast Ledger as the Joker, Christopher Nolan was seeing ahead of Ledger's development curve as a movie star, instead of behind it. He was also seeing the foundation of accomplished physicality that underlay even Ledger's least interesting roles, which would pipeline directly into Nolan's intent for the character in The Dark Knight. The director...
