Go Ape For New DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Trailer

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 12:00 AM PDT

Rupert Wyatt's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was one of the best surprises of 2011, and proved successful enough that Fox immediately green-lit a sequel, directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In). Set some years after the first reboot, Dawn stars Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Andy Serkis and Keri Russell and EVERYTHING we have seen about the film so far has looked incredible. With a new (presumably final) trailer now hitting the Internet, I cannot overstate how great this film looks and if Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes doesn't prove to be the best blockbuster of the summer, well I might just eat some monkey poo. Check it out!...

LA Film Fest 2014 Interview: BILLY MIZE AND THE BAKERSFIELD SOUND Director Joe Saunders

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT

Joe Saunders - who goes by "Joe" but is named William after his grandfather Billy Mize, the country music personality and star of Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound - didn't exactly realize who his grandfather was while growing up. He knew he'd sung with Merle Haggard and that he was a country musician, but he didn't know how significant it all was."You never Googled him?" I ask, sitting across from the quietly handsome filmmaker at the Los Angeles Film Festival's filmmaker lounge."We didn't have the Internet when I was growing up," he says. Fair point. The initial conversation with his mother (Karen, Mize's oldest daughter) happened in 2001, right around when Google was becoming a verb. And while Saunders was making sports documentaries at ESPN Films...

Do You Dare Enter The Mobile Virgin Conversion Unit With The INBETWEENERS 2 Trailer?

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT

Yes, yes, I know. The Inbetweeners movie was meant to be the capper ... a final kick at the characters from the popular UK comedy before they all grew up and went on with their lives and were in-between no more.But then, as such things go, the movie made a great big bag of money. So they've made another.The entire principal cast is back together along with creative team Iain Morris and Damon Beesley and this time the story sees Simon, Will and Neil join the ever repulsive - and very, very horny - Jay in Australia where he's taking a gap year. Check the trailer below for the male psyche at its most base laid bare in the name of entertainment....

Interview: Glow Into The Heart Of Darkness With COHERENCE Writer-Director James Ward Byrkit

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 11:00 AM PDT

After several back-to-back viewings of the intricate reality-bending Coherence, an opportunity presented itself to speak with the film's writer-director at length.  A discussion started on how the micro-budgeted, big-idea chamber piece was constructed before easing into a number of the themes and ideas that might be shaken out of the experience.  Peter Martin's SXSW positive (if somewhat intimidated by the whole thing) review can be found here.  I think I may have the benefit of multiple viewings outside of a large festival to allow for the the whole thing to cohere, as it were. You will also get the chance to obsess over the film as Oscilloscope Laboratories gives the film a limited release on June 20.Sitting in his home, where pretty much the entirety of...

Crowdfund This! Canuck Indie A SUNDAY KIND OF LOVE Needs Help To Get Over The Finish Line!

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 09:30 AM PDT

Here's a little something intriguing with a Canadian initiative to pair first time feature filmmakers with established producer / mentors to give them the best chance of success with a micro-budget debut. Called the Indiecan 10k Film Initiative, the program started as an open call for submissions from producer Avi Federgreen. Of the nearly 70 submissions received the Indiecan folk winnowed the final selection down to just seven, each of whom is paired with an established mentor and tasked with raising ten thousand dollars to make their first film. Enter A Sunday Kind Of Love, the proposed debut from Georgie Sabbagh.Following in the vein of such films as Before Sunset, Annie Hall, Lost in Translation and Midnight in Paris, A Sunday Kind of Love is...

LA Film Fest 2014 Review: CUT BANK Balances Expertly On A Razor's Edge Between Thrills And Laughs

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 09:00 AM PDT

It's no easy task to write a crime thriller script that is both tense and comedic. But even when a writer is able to pull it off on the page, an even more difficult task awaits a director to nail that tricky tone. In his Black List-gracing feature screenplay Cut Bank, Rodrigo Patino, a writer on the FX series Sons of Anarchy, delivers on the first task. Luckily, TV and theater director Matt Shakman, perhaps best known for his work on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is no slouch either. The result is the perfect mix of those two popular television shows; a tense and captivating thriller that is also filled with laughs. While it might sound like a macabre title, Cut Bank actually...

Destroy All Monsters: How To Train Your Alpha

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:00 AM PDT

Spoilers for How To Train Your Dragon 2. One of the reasons The LEGO Movie got my back so completely up was simply by dint of its intended audience. I'm perfectly willing to deal with a Hollywood whose issues of representation are, generally speaking, a hot mess -- but when you're making a movie about creativity, inclusion and play aimed directly at children, it more than somewhat pisses me off when your definition of "children" may or may not include "girls." How To Train Your Dragon 2 has no better idea what to do with the girls than LEGO did; it has three great female characters in Astrid, Valka and Ruffnut, but struggles to meaningfully include them in the outcome of the (boys') story. The...
