Posted: 19 Feb 2014 12:00 AM PST

(Talk about a film trying hard to wrap you around its little finger...)

Trailer: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Are A Bunch Of A-Holes!

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 09:42 PM PST

I gotta be honest, I had no idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy were before Marvel announced their latest cinematic venture. That clip at the end of Thor: The Dark World left me scratching my head, while news that Chris "Emmet" Pratt would be rampaging across the universe in the company of a gun-toting racoon and a talking tree sounded cool if a little crazy.Well, now the first trailer for the James Gunn-helmed project has arrived, and dear lord it looks like fun. Sadly we don't get to hear the vocal contributions of Bradley Cooper or Vin Diesel, but we do see Pratt in action, alongside Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and a delightfully snarky pair of interstellar law enforcers in the form of John C....

One of the must-sees on our SXSW 2014 forecast is Zachary Wigon's The Heart Machine.

Review: IN THE NAME OF... Explores The Relationship Between Priesthood And Sexuality

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST

In terms of searching for and exploring its own sexual identity, 2013 turned out to be a rather eventful year for Polish cinema. Controversial films such as Floating Skyscrapers (first openly pro-gay picture), In Hiding (deals with lesbian love in war-torn Poland), and In the Name of... sparked a lot of debates going beyond the borders of the respectable film community. Polish Church, always opposed to projects that might be inconsistent with its own traditional beliefs, criticized the country's emerging directors for their too easy-going and overly bold approach towards the topic of sexuality and its often-striking visual representation on the screens all around Poland.While In the Name of... feels a bit outdated and definitely isn't as shocking as it might've been 50 years ago, it's...

Hooray For Hollywood! For Those About To Strike, We Salute You

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST

Well, boys and girls, get ready for another writers' strike. The WGA and the AMPTP (The Alliance of Mot... uh, the studios and the networks, basically) just wrapped up two weeks of negotiations on the replacement of their existing agreement, the 2011 MBA, which expires May 1. After taking the bullet-points they've ended on to their constituencies, the two sides will reconvene on March 3. The opening offer from the producers called for around $60 million in rollbacks over the three-year term of the next deal, mostly culled from decreased health/pension contributions and a lowering of the floor on minimum payments. Compare that to what Daily Variety reports the Directors Guild ended up with: increased residual bases, a 3% wage increase, established minimums for made-for-new-media series...

Winner of a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and Romania's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film for this year's Oscar, Calin Peter Netzer's Child's Pose is a riveting family drama spiked with some sharp social commentary that is inherent in the Romanian New Wave. Veteran Romanian actress Luminita Gheorghiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, The Death of Mr. Lazarescue) gives a remarkable performance as Neli (Cornelia), a well-connected Romanian upper-class professional whose resolve as a mother of a deadbeat son, Barbu (Bogdan Dumitrache) gets tested.The film opens with Neli's extravagant birthday dinner with many important government officials attending. She tells her sister that Barbu is not only not showing up for the party, but told her to 'go suck a cock,'...
