| Trailer: THE MAN FROM NOWHERE Director Returns With THE CRYING MAN (우는 남자) Posted: 11 Apr 2014 10:30 PM PDT  Welcome back Lee Jeong-beom! The director of one of our favorite Korean action films, The Man From Nowhere, is returning this summer with the assassin thriller The Crying Man (우는 남자). There is not much of a description of the plot of the film, but here's what we know:Veteran killer Gon (Jang Dong-gun - My Way, The Warrior's Way and Taegukgi) receives a mission, which is to target Mo-kyeong (Kim Min-hee). Trouble is, he has developed feelings for her. The teaser trailer was released and it oozes with style and the action looks impressive as well. For Lee's North American fans his new film also marks the Korean language debut of Brian Tee (Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and The Wolverine). ... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Werner Herzog's 5th Rogue Film School to Land This Summer in LA Posted: 11 Apr 2014 04:20 PM PDT  If there is list of filmmakers out there with plenty to teach about the art of cinema, Werner Herzog would have to be towards the top. Lucky for aspiring directors, he is doing just that. Werner Herzog has announced he'll be hosting his fifth weekend-long "Rogue Film School" this August 22-25 in Los Angeles. Past seminars have taken place in LA, London, and New Jersey. If you think this is a standard Robert McKee-style seminar, you are dead wrong. Just take a look at this description from the release: Some of the topics covered will be the art of lock picking. Traveling on foot. The exhilaration of being shot at unsuccessfully. The athletic side of filmmaking. The creation of your own shooting permits. The... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Crowdfund This! Explore The World Of Kids' Cult Classics With KID POWER! Posted: 11 Apr 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Make your mom happy by stepping away from the screen for a moment and reading a book! An actual, honest to god, words on paper book! Preferably this one! Kier-La Janisse has long been a major figure on the cult film scene between various programming gigs - she currently oversees the short film programs at Fantastic Fest - and writing books on the subject. And she's back at it on the writing front, this time taking a look at cult kids' titles.Growing up, did you ever sit in front of a TV, a 16mm school projector or a VCR and come under the hypnotic spell of the tuff, sassy, cool and inspiring kids that you saw on the screen? Perhaps you grinned as Jacob Two-Two... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| The Many Faces Of Nicolas Cage Posted: 11 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT  This week, David Gordon Green's Joe gets released in the US, and that is a great opportunity to host a quiz about its star Nicolas Cage. Love him or hate him, Nicolas Cage has managed to create a career for himself which is so diverse, that literally nothing he'll do next can be a complete surprise anymore. He turned fifty earlier this year, yet his movie-count will reach 75 this year as well. The man has starred as a hero, and sometimes a villain, in both dumb and intelligent action films. He's been a scrawny nerd and a beefed-up hulk. He has won Oscars and played in stupefyingly awful cash-grabs. He is both the quiet introvert and the exploding madman. His popularity here in team...

| TIFFKids Talk Film: THE HOUSE OF MAGIC Review Posted: 11 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Twitch's tiniest film reviewers will be doing tiny reviews for the TIFFKids film festival currently happening at Toronto's Lightbox Cinema. Willem (Age 11) and Miranda (Age 9) kick off these video micro-reviews with the French/Belgian animated 3D CGI film The House of Magic, that has a stray cat getting caught up in the society and struggle in an old magician's mansion that is home to various animals and mystical automatons.Twitch has been on the Internet long enough that many of its writing staff have children old enough to understand and consume media in a way that is both raw and fresh. It might even come with an inkling of consideration afterwards -- it's true that many of us fall in love with the movies when... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Series Preview: Art Of The Real Tests The Boundaries Of Documentary Filmmaking Posted: 11 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Film Society of Lincoln Center's inaugural film series Art of the Real - a showcase for nonfiction films that pushes the farthest boundaries of documentary filmmaking, is for me, one of the most exciting film series I have had the privilege to be part of, even by New York standards. It's only been the last couple of years that I've been writing about film seriously, realizing that the medium can go much further than just mere entertainment and that freeing from the dominant narrative structure can be exhilarating. What started out as a simple question that if there was an adequate name to describe the current crop of shape-shifting postmodern cinema pulled me into the very depth of the cinematic rabbit hole, left me exhausted...
