New International TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION Trailer Claims "This Is Not War, It's Human Extinction"

Posted: 15 May 2014 01:31 AM PDT

Michael Bay's fourth big budget plundering of Hasbro's toy cupboard, Transformers: Age of Extinction, hits screens on 27 June, and now there's a new international trailer that attempts to tee up a bit more of the plot. It looks like Stanley Tucci is playing the villain - looking to harness the molecularly unstable metal from which the Transformers are built - while Mark Wahlberg and family stand up for all things wholesome and American. The transcontinental annihilation this time takes the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons to Hong Kong, and quite possibly into the mountains of China to dig up some Dinobot allies if there's any sense to be made from the glossy footage we've been treated to thus far, but who are we kidding....

Review: GODZILLA Is King Of The Monsters Once More

Posted: 14 May 2014 10:40 PM PDT

British director Gareth Edwards makes his Hollywood debut in jaw-dropping style, bringing Godzilla back to the big screen in a grand scale action adventure that is pitched perfectly between obligatory disaster drama and indulgently delightful monster mash.2014 marks the 60th anniversary since Toho Studios first unleashed Godzilla onto the big screen. Hondo Ishiro's film is a surprisingly bleak and mournful allegory of Atomic Age fears that was largely butchered ahead of international release, only to have recently been restored to its former glory. In the six decades since, the King of the Monsters has evolved from a mindless force of destruction into more of a guardian figure, defending (for the most part) Tokyo from a rogues gallery of marauding giant beasts - or kaiju -...

Nicolas Winding Refn May Direct Hotel Horror Film THE BRINGING

Posted: 14 May 2014 09:03 PM PDT

A report today from Deadline suggests that Sony is in talks with Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn to direct a spec script called The Bringing. The script was written by brothers Brandon and Phillip Murphy and drew much attention from bidding studios because it was inspired by an Elisa Lam video (see below). Lam was a Canadian student who went missing and was later found in one of the water towers atop the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. The video was from a security camera in an elevator in the hotel and it shows Lam acting erratically. Her body was found more than two weeks later. The hotel has its own sordid history apart from that; it was the residence of serial killers Richard Ramirez and...

Cannes 2014 Review: TIMBUKTU Is Raw, Challenging, Darkly Funny

Posted: 14 May 2014 06:00 PM PDT

It's to the credit of Malian (by-way-of Mauritania) director Abderrahmane Sissako that he manages at time to make even the most horrifying of human behaviour still, in some ways, darkly funny. Timbuktu is a story as dessicated as the landscape it depicts, an interwoven story of an Arab infusion into Mali's rural muslim communities, bringing the zealotous and radicalized branch of Islam to a populace that chafes in various ways to these new restrictions. It is a tragedy, yes, but a very human one, with an overall caustic, almost nihilistic absurdity running throughout.The very word for the location has for decades meant isolation and foreignness, a place as remote as to be almost otherworldly. With rocket-shaped mud structures and a sand-blown dreariness, the landscape of...

Cannes 2014 Review: GRACE OF MONACO Is A Risible Mess

Posted: 14 May 2014 05:00 PM PDT

It gives me no pleasure to say that the opening film of this year's Cannes International Film Festival had members of the press mocking it during its running time. At the second screening, when the credits rolled and the lights were still off, someone yelled "Bravo" in a sarcastic, douche-bag-ish tone, and it was followed by the very same "haw haw haw" stereotypical laughter that the students of West Springfield demonstrated as being "en Français" to Lisa Simpson [on TV's The Simpsons].Speaking of cartoonish blondes, Nicole Kidman's portrayal of Grace Kelly comes close to looking the part, but the whole film feels as forced and awkwardly taut as the post-injection facial muscles of Ms. Kidman.Now, let's be clear, I'm a big fan of this actress, and...

THE MAN ON CARRION ROAD: Ian McShane And Patrick Wilson Don Hats, Firearms, And Jeans

Posted: 14 May 2014 01:10 PM PDT

Coming out of Cannes is the first whiff of this contemporary, dusty American thriller from Spanish director Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18, Open Grave). Ian McShane, he of the eloquent cuss-laced soliloquy, is playing a soon-to-be retired Sheriff training his replacement (Patrick Wilson) during an investigation of a cartel deal gone wrong. The above still is a first look from The Man on Carrion Road.  The film is set on the US/Mexico boarder, and has Jim Belushi, Lynn Collins (John Carter) and John Leguizamo (playing an assassin) in supporting roles.  ...

EXCLUSIVE: Watch The First Teaser For Kaneko Shusuke's DANGER DOLLS

Posted: 14 May 2014 10:00 AM PDT

Japanese director Kaneko Shusuke has had a wild and varied career, helming big budget blockbusters like Death Note and the Gamera trilogy, but also producing strange low budget features like last year's erotic teen lesbian drama Jellyfish, which proved a surprising highlight of last year's Okinawa International Movie Festival. For his latest offering, Kaneko teams the female star of his previous film, Hanai Rumi, with diminutive action heroine Takeda Rina (Dead Sushi, High Kick Girl) in an action packed science fiction action adventure aimed squarely at younger audiences, Danger Dolls. The film had its world premiere at Yubari earlier this year and now Twitch has a first look at the film's first - English-dubbed teaser trailer.We also get a look at the film's poster and a detailed synopsis...

A Miscast Channing Tatum To Star As Gambit In X-MEN Spin-Off

Posted: 14 May 2014 09:30 AM PDT

A surprise announcement was made on the red carpet of the London premier for X-Men: Days of Future Past when producer Lauren Shuler Donner was asked about future X-Men related projects, answering, "Deadpool, yes. X-Force is fascinating, we love X-Force, it allows us to be a little grittier and... Gambit". According to Total Film, Donner confirmed that it will be Channing Tatum stepping into the shoes of the card-throwing X-Man in a future spin-off.Gambit has appeared just once before on the big screen, in the much maligned first solo outing for Hugh Jackman's mutant character, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The Rajin' Cajun was played by Taylor Kitsch, who had some physical resemblance to the character, certainly more so than Tatum, but many fans felt his...

Yayan "Mad Dog" Ruhian Joins Miike's YAKUZA APOCALYPSE

Posted: 14 May 2014 09:00 AM PDT

People who have seen either of the two The Raid films will be familiar with Yayan Ruhian, who played the brutal adversary Mad Dog in the first film, and pivotal assassin Prakoso in the sequel. In a series full of excellent martial arts performances, he still managed to stand out. Now, according to Screendaily he has been cast as an international assassin in Miike Takashi's upcoming Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War of the Underworld. In the film, a low-tier yakuza, played by Ichihara Hayato, discovers his boss is a vampire. When he becomes one himself, the battle against another gang turns epic. Nikkatsu produces, and aims to have the film in cinemas in 2015....

Destroy All Monsters: I Don't Need Movies To Be Good

Posted: 14 May 2014 08:00 AM PDT

I find movies so interesting, I really couldn't care less if they're good. This is the story of me, of where I'm at now in my relationship with the films. I'm sure there are other territories yet to traverse and whole other categories of meaning I've yet to discover. For now, though, for this year, this is the truth. My column here at Twitch is just about a year old. It sometimes gets referred to, mistakenly or otherwise, as a review column. It isn't that. I can understand the easy confusion. Post-Ain't It Cool movie coverage sites like Twitch scrape their butter across the bread of the online world's seemingly endless willingness to offer up its opinion -- specifically, in this case, about movies. It's...

STAR TREK 3 Could Be Directed By First-Timer Roberto Orci

Posted: 14 May 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Satisfied to keep things within his tight-knit community of filmmakers and writers, The Wrap reports that J.J. Abrams has given his blessing to writer Roberto Orci to take the director's chair for Star Trek 3. Abrams will simply be too busy with Star Wars: Episode VII to take on another Star Trek film again. Sounds like he has chosen a side and stuck Orci with second choice. Heh. Long considered a front runner for the job, Orci is currently working on the screenplay with first-timers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. The report states that he is in negotiations for the coveted position.Orci has a hefty portfolio. He has written screenplays for both new Star Trek films, both of the Amazing Spider-Man films. two Transformer films, and...

R.I.P. Malik Bendjelloul: The Real Sugar Man

Posted: 14 May 2014 06:00 AM PDT

Malik Bendjelloul, the Oscar-winning director of Searching For Sugar Man, has passed away in Stockholm, according to multiple news reports. Though no cause of death has been given, authorities have said they do not suspect foul play. He was just 36 years of age.As a South African, Searching For Sugar Man was nothing short of a personal revelation. The subject of the documentary, Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, was a profound musical presence in my formative years, yet never more than a name. Rodriguez simply didn't exist outside of his songs, and a few urban legends. In fact, I confess to thinking, for years, that he was some obscure local musician, lost to the passage of time like so much from 60s and 70s South Africa. Searching For Sugar Man changed...
