Get An EXCLUSIVE First Look At THE BURNING KISS Teaser

Posted: 10 Mar 2014 03:00 AM PDT

The Burning Kiss, a new Aussie feature film, has been described as a 'hallucinogenic summer noir cocktail spiked with surrealism and suspense, which centres on the unexpected arrival of a stranger, who implicates a father and his daughter in an inferno of secrets, guilt and danger.' It has drawn inspirations from southern gothic psychodrama, poolside chic, pop art and the French New Wave.A new teaser and still from the movie (both attached below) have been made available exclusively to Twitch. Director Robbie Studsor talks about the new teaser: 'I really wanted to make the teaser move like a spinning pinwheel in an abstract way. Something that feels like it's going both forwards and backwards and is strangely both intense and calming. A perfect metaphor for the...

Blu-ray Review: Capt. John Noel's THE EPIC OF EVEREST From The BFI

Posted: 10 Mar 2014 02:00 AM PDT

The ill-fated 1924 attempt to reach the peak of Mount Everest was an incredibly politically charged undertaking, with British authorities desperate to reaffirm the country's superiority as a world force after recent attempts to be the first nation to reach both the North and South Poles had failed. An earlier attempt to reach the highest point on Earth two years previously had also ended without success, but mountaineer George Mallory was determined to try again. As with the previous attempts, the 1924 expedition was financed by the Royal Geographic Society and the Alpine Club, together with a sizeable contribution from Captain John Noel, in return for securing all photographic rights to the expedition. During his years with the British army in India, Noel had spent time...

SXSW 2014 Review: CHEF Cooks Up Profound Retrospect

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 09:00 PM PDT

I've been waiting 15 years to give Jon Favreau the glowing review he's earned in spades with his return-to-roots film Chef. He has no doubt had a very interesting career since his initial indie splash Swingers back in '96, but in many unfortunate ways, everything he's done since has somewhat existed in that film's shadow. In the introduction to his Chef premiere, which earned the highly coveted opening night slot at SXSW, Favreau described the genesis of his new film as the rare kind of lightning-in-a-bottle spark that only strikes a handful of times. In his case, it's a feeling he personally hasn't experienced since the screenplay that launched his career, making him an overnight indie darling. After the double-edged success of Swingers, Favreau was...

Pretty Packaging: Take A Look At The French JACQUES TATI BOXSET

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 08:00 PM PDT

(So ok, maybe I don't hate ALL mimes...) There have been many famous French directors in the history of cinema, but few have been as universally loved as Jacques Tati. A former mime, his films are sight-based observational comedies, featuring long stretches without dialogue. Often you're just watching Jacques Tati himself, either as his famous Monsieur Hulot or as some other character, spectacularly failing to do something in a normal way. Then again, watch a bit closer and you see him questioning what's normal anyway. Most of the time, any bumbling from the main characters results from the fact that the "normal" thing they try to do is actually pretty stupid already, maybe considered appropriate by modern society but hardly logical. Tati was one of...

SXSW 2014 Review: PRINT THE LEGEND Is A Fascinating Snapshot Of The Men Behind An Emerging Technology

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 03:30 PM PDT

What is the most important invention of the 21st century? The smart phone? Hybrid cars? Twitter? Filmmakers Luis Lopez and Clay Tweel would have you believe it is the 3D printer. These desktop devices allow users to print immediate prototypes, greatly reducing manufacturing processes and improving workflow. While their documentary Print the Legend doesn't exactly succeed in proving the claim of most important invention, it does succeed wildly at capturing a fascinating moment in innovation. This is the best documentary on startup culture since Startup.com, and it is a brilliant snapshot of a moment in history. While 3D printing has existed since the tech boom of the 1980s, the technology has always been too costly for anyone but the most lucrative corporations. That is,...

SXSW 2014 Review: NEIGHBORS Goes Directly For The Raunch

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 02:15 PM PDT

To put it bluntly, asking why things happen in Hollywood studio comedies is besides the point. It's all about getting to the funny as expeditiously and as often as possible. Neighbors, a new Hollywood studio comedy by Nicholas Stoller, quickly untethers from reality. Thus freed from the burdens of narrative logic and/or character development, the comic talents of Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Ike Barinholtz, and others are allowed to float free and act on their impulses in an 'anything goes' atmosphere -- the raunchier the better. Director Stoller and writers Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien are graduates of the Judd Apatow school of studio humor, and so are well-versed in cooking up a comedy that adheres to a certain recipe: bookending the...

SXSW 2014 Interview: Some BAD WORDS, but Mostly Stellar Talent - Twitch Talks To Jason Bateman and Kathryn Hahn

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT

"How about that bitch Kathryn Hahn?" said Jason Bateman as he walked into the second half of our 10-journalist-thick Bad Words roundtable at the Four Seasons on Saturday morning. "This is going to go a lot better than her interview, don't worry."Prior to Bateman's dry sense of humor permeating the room, the insanely talented, Yale-graduated, exaggerated face-making (see IMBD.com) Kathryn Hahn sat down with us to express her adoration of Bateman and her crush on his wife, actress Amanda Anka."I knew when the script was sent to me that whatever [Bateman] decided he was going to do as his first time out as a feature director was going to be something special," she said. "I've always trusted his taste. As an audience member I've always checked...

SXSW 2014 Review: VERONICA MARS, Older But Still Wisecracking

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 12:30 PM PDT

The idea of a wisecracking female detective in her late twenties may not be quite as fresh as a wisecracking female detective in high school. But the formula that creator Rob Thomas and company developed for a television series is still sufficiently potent to power the feature-length version of Veronica Mars. In the TV show, which ran for three seasons from 2004 to 2007, Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) investigates the murder of her best friend, then is ostracized because her father (Enrico Colantoni) is ousted as sheriff after he uncovers corruption at the highest levels in the small, seaside town of Neptune, California. This is nicely recapped in the first two minutes of the movie, which also summarizes the failed relationship between Veronica and bad-boy...

On Remakes And Profiteering

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT

It is an entirely predictable response, one that has played out so many times at this point that it has almost entirely lost its meaning in some quarters while in others it is accepted blindly as fact because, hell, if it's been repeated so many times it must be true. It goes like this. News breaks in one of the trades the Producer X has set up an American remake of Movie Y. Moments later there are literally hundreds of comments popping up on film sites and across social media decrying the move as a 'cash grab', nothing but shallow profiteering, and therefore inevitably doomed to artistic irrelevance and worthy of nothing but scorn. Yes, a very good number of remakes have earned that scorn...

Crowdfund This! Don Thiel And Nic Camp's ORBIT Takes Edgar Allan Poe To Space!

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 11:00 AM PDT

Oh, well here's a little something intriguing for fans both of Edgar Allan Poe and old school scifi. And, yes, you read that right. Directors Don Thiel and Nic Camp have taken Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart and are re-envisioning it as a science fiction story titled Orbit and their take on the material is very, very compelling.As a pair of astronauts orbit a distant planet in the future, a mysterious man attempts to convince himself of his sanity while describing his brutal act of murder.

SXSW 2014 Review: PREDESTINATION, Poignant And Haunting Time Travel

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 10:00 AM PDT

A guy walks into a bar and tells a spellbinding story that has nothing to do with time travel. It's haunting, it's poignant, and it takes up the first big chunk of Predestination, a new movie from the Spierig Brothers (Michael and Peter), who made a big splash with the broadly entertaining zombie comedy Undead more than 10 years ago. Since then, they've made their version of a vampire movie (Daybreakers, in 2009) and now this, an exploration of time travel that feels altogether refreshing. Ethan Hawke is introduced as someone who travels through time in an official capacity. The details are sketched in a teasing, incomplete manner -- a mad bomber in the 1970s is terrorizing New York, Hawke thinks he can stop him...

AMER Duo Eye Cult Novel LAISSEZ BRONZER LES CADAVRES As Their Next

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PDT

Though there is no green light in place yet and things can always change at these early stages, it appears that Amer and The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears directing duo Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet may have found their next project.Chatter is surfacing in France (such as in this French interview at 1kult) that the duo are circling a film adaptation of 1971 cult novel Laissez Bronzer Les Cadavres - loosely translated as Let The Corpses Tan - by authors Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid. Other Manchette works have been adapted to film as The Gunman and Three To Kill while Bastid is perhaps better known under his cult filmmaker non de plume as Jean-Luc Grodard.There does not appear to be an English...
