New JUPITER ASCENDING Trailer Aims For The Epic

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 08:00 PM PDT

Fans of the future dystopian segment in Lana and Andy Wachowski's Cloud Atlas, take note. The second trailer for their latest flick takes a lot of that hefty sci-fi morality and ethics ball game seen in the Seoul-set story of that already epic film, and stretches it to an intergalactic scope. Complete with a Channing Tatum space elf.But does it look any good? Well... maybe. At any rate it certainly looks ambitious. As it were this thing is like Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Dune, The Fifth Element, The Wizard Of Oz and the Wachowski's very own The Matrix and Cloud Atlas rolled into one.Tatum, the aforementioned space elf, is protector of earth girl, Mila Kunis, or er... the titular Jupiter Jones. Seems she's...

Noah Segan To Get Punched By Marko Zaror In REDEEMER

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 04:30 PM PDT

Ernesto Díaz Espinoza's next with fellow Chilean, and rising martial arts star, Marko Zaror is continuing to shape up with the casting of American Noah Segan. Most recently seen at SXSW in psychological horror Starry Eyes, and best known to international audiences from his turns in Looper and Brick, Segan will play an American ex-pat and kingpin who takes aim at Zaror when he suspects the ex-hitman, now turned righteous redeemer, stole his cold hard cash. Segan is also on board as a producer along with Zaror, Espinoza and Diego Moral Heimpel.As to the aforementioned punching, there's little doubt with their respected roles, Zaror will be punching Segan... and hopefully more than once. God Speed then, Noah. And good luck.  Full disclosure: XYZ Films, which...

Tony Jaa And Dolph Lundgren Trade Blows In First SKIN TRADE Teaser

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 12:30 PM PDT

What difference does a director make? Rather a lot, really, and after years of toil with Ong Bak helmer Prachya Pinkaew Thai martial artist Tony Jaa has hooked up with Beautiful Boxer helmer Ekachai Uekrongtham and based on the production teaser posted to the film's Facebook page a few days back the step up in quality could be remarkable. Lest you think I'm being mean to Pinkaew here, do me this favor before complaining: Go rent his English language picture White Elephant. That is, of course, assuming you can find it which you probably can't because it's awful on a scale that it has been blotted from the minds and release schedules of most around the world. What has become clear with Pinkaew over the...

Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Is A Taut, Engaging Conspiracy Thriller

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT

"How do we know the good guys from the bad guys?," Anthony Mackie's Falcon (real name: Sam Wilson) asks in the midst of the climax to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It's a line that is played for laughs and is followed by a quip from Cap (Chris Evans) himself, but it points to a theme that rings true in the story told here. Marvel's latest is big on moral ambiguity, challenging each of its characters to look inwards and consider whether they're doing the right or the wrong thing.I appreciate how the film doesn't have any easy answers to the questions it poses too, as it embraces the complexity of the positions that Captain America and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) find themselves in by...

Shortly before the New York City red carpet premiere of The Raid 2: Berandal, I caught up with Iko Uwais, reprising his role as everybody's favourite Indonesian undercover cop, and Julie Estelle, who told me all the secrets of the bone-smashing, spine-ripping Hammer Girl.  Be warned: Spoilers abound!Iko UwaisThe Lady Miz Diva:  This is your third film with director Gareth Evans.  Do you guys have a shorthand now as to communicating what he wants you to do?

IP MAN 3D With Donnie Yen Finally Moving Forward

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PDT

First announced about two years ago, Donnie Yen will finally be reprising the role of Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man in the third installment of Pegasus Motion Pictures' hugely popular film franchise, according to Variety. Following the enormous success of the first two films, it came as no surprise that the cast and crew would want to get together for a third Ip Man film. However, it has been a rather stormy journey to get to this point. Yen himself indicated soon after the release of Ip Man 2 that he did not want to play Ip Man ever again. Later when it appeared that Ip Man 3 was actually going to be made, the project had to be put on hold, rumored to be because...

Destroy All Monsters: A GIRLS Gotta Do What A GIRLS Gotta Do

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PDT

The other day I quipped that HBO's Girls is "messy-relationship porn," which was reductive and crass, but was honestly meant with respect and even gratitude. I think the world needs more messy-relationship porn. The messier the better. The more we can embrace the fact that none of us really has our shit together, the better off we'll be. It's like an antidote to Facebook's "greatest hits" approach to our circle of friends' lives and accomplishments: post all the pretty food pictures you like, but never deny that you're one bad decision away from puncturing your eardrum with a Q-tip. Girls is brilliantly messy, which is probably why it pisses so many people off. Not that a successful cable television series that is - as the...

Take On The IN THE BLOOD Drinking Game!

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PDT

If there is one thing that we at Twitch know just as well as movies, it has to be recreational drinking. From Greg Christie's Boozie Movies and Fear & Loathing articles, to drunken director reviews, to making sure our residences during film festivals are 'within stumbling distance' to the venues, we all have a pretty good grasp of the limits of our livers. So, I have been encouraged by the filmmakers of In the Blood to turn you all into alcoholics and create the In The Blood Drinking Game. When the film opens in cinemas and on iTunes and On Demand on April 4, you are encouraged to stock up on your favorite fermented and distilled beverages and participate. Here are the rules...Take a drink - Every...

It's A Gang War In Lengthy THE RAID 2 Deleted Scene

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 06:02 AM PDT

Want to know how high the bar has been set with The Raid 2? Well, taking a look at what didn't make the final cut could give you an indication. Some of you may recall one of the first stills released from the film's production, a shot of a bloody man crawling across a floor ... well, that shot is from a lengthy and elaborate gun battle between rival gang factions that ultimately did not make it to Gareth Evans' final cut. Here's how the director describes the decision to remove it:This is one of a few deleted scenes taken from the film. Reasons to cut were entirely down to pacing issues. This was probably the hardest for me to cut due to the fact...
