Fantasia 2014 Review: Chew On This - ZOMBEAVERS Is Dam Excellent

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT

It begins with the pun.Sure, you have a slew of straight-to-VOD crap that is little more than a title stretched too thin over its running time. Be it Sharknado or other of its ilk, it's as if a bunch of drunk people (or, worse, marketing executives) sat around a table and coined a phrase and then retroactively crafted a narrative around it.There are a few things terrific about Zombeavers.First, that's a damn good play on words, there's a certain elegance in its simplicity. You know what the film's about straight from the title, and are now just along for the ride. Snakes on a Plane had that going for it, with its marriage of title and concept, but the film still felt like it was...

NY Asian 2014: Director Fei Xing Judges The Court Of Public Opinion In SILENT WITNESS

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 11:00 AM PDT

A huge hit in its native China, Silent Witness starts as a taut courtroom drama and then writer/director Fei Xing flips the script to turn it into something more. He spoke with me about this commentary on social media and the court of public opinion.The Lady Miz Diva:  I was prepared for a courthouse thriller and then you made me cry. Was this what you intended with SILENT WITNESS?  Your previous film, THE MAN BEHIND THE COURTYARD HOUSE was also known for twisting genres.  Is that kind of cinematic bait and switch creatively pleasing to you?Fei Xing: Yes! {Laughs} This is why I like films. I feel like films should be a wonderful journey.  So I think the best films have changes and also surprises and also...

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 08:00 AM PDT

Winner of the prestigious Golden Lion at Venice 2012, Kim Ki-duk's Pieta is a truly great film; brutal, perverse, violent, but also heartfelt. It premiered in Mexico last year as part of Cineteca Nacional's Muestra 55, and now the DVD from ZatMeni Distribución just hit stores."Lee Kang-do (Lee Jung-jin) is a brutal debt collector, a lone wolf operating entirely without conscience and positively brutal in his efficiency. The scheme is simple. Money is lent to poor tradespeople at a rate they cannot possibly afford to repay, with the borrowers forced to sign insurance policies against future injury and loss of income with Lee's employer the beneficiary. And when they inevitably cannot pay, it is up to Lee to cripple the debtors and collect on the...

PREDESTINATION Trailer Twists And Turns Through Time

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 07:30 AM PDT

A new trailer for Predestination teases dazzling possibilities for time travel. The new feature by the Spierig Brothers (Undead, Daybreakers) spins a fascinating yarn that takes place in an intricately-detailed alternate universe, slowly transforming into a mind-bending thriller. I saw it at SXSW in March, and although I got tripped up by the paradoxes, this is a dreamy rich ride, and a tender character study featuring an outstanding performance by Sarah Snook and very good ones by Ethan Hawke and Noah Taylor. Predestination chronicles the life of a Temporal Agent sent on an intricate series of time-travel journeys designed to ensure the continuation of his law enforcement career for all eternity. Now, on his final assignment, the Agent must pursue the one criminal that has eluded him...
