THE HATEFUL EIGHT: First Poster For Tarantino's 70mm Super CinemaScope Western

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 03:14 AM PDT

On Sunday, July 27, Quentin Tarantino confirmed at San Diego's Comic-Con that he is directing The Hateful Eight after all. As you can recall, he was so pissed off after the first draft of the script leaked some months ago that decided to shelve the project. Later, at Cannes, he confessed the wound has been healed, especially after the script live reading he shared in Los Angeles with such stars as Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Zoe Bell, and Bruce Dern. Now the Weinsteins and Tarantino have surprised everybody with the first poster of The Hateful Eight, which is bloody amazing and confirms two things: the western is going to be shoot in 70mm Super CinemaScope and is hitting cinemas in...

BBC's Terrifying THE BOY FROM SPACE Finally Coming To DVD

Posted: 30 Jul 2014 11:07 AM PDT

British readers of a certain age may well still be haunted by images from the BBC's incredibly disturbing children's TV show The Boy From Space. Created as part of the Beeb's educational Look And Read series, it was originally broadcast in 1971 and again in 1980 and follows the startling discovery of an extra-terrestrial being by two inquisitive young British children. While perhaps a niche nostalgia item that may seem alien to many, The Boy From Space was a hugely influential piece of work when it first came out, and its surreal style and imagery dug deep into the memories and imaginations of a generation, where they have lain dormant until now. The Boy From Space will be released in a 2-disc DVD set by the...

Destroy All Monsters: All The World Is Waiting For You, Wonder Woman

Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:01 AM PDT

What a difference a year makes. At last year's Comic Con, Wonder Woman was "tricky." At the 2014 event, she was the belle of the ball. Admittedly, it was a slow news year. Zack Snyder's reveal of Gal Gadot's costume for 2016's still horrendously titled Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was the loudest sizzle at an event that keeps itself carefully devoid of steak. Aside from a roaring Mad Max trailer and the announcement of a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, what did Wonder Woman have to compete with, news-wise? A King Kong prequel? Let's take a moment to doff our caps to Henry Cavill, who's having the sort of career ignominy we've come to expect of our Superman actors: he's now arguably...

PiFan 2014 Review: MY ORDINARY LOVE STORY Is Not Your Ordinary Rom-Com

Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Expectations play a large role in how we consume and react to cinema, particularly in the commercial realm. Genre formulas are so clearcut than any deviation is immediately noticeable. Some variation is required to prevent things from getting stale but anything too jarring and you run the risk of alienating your audience. The new Korean romcom (or is it?) My Ordinary Love Story takes such a risk as it veers way off course, but this is one gamble that pays off in spades. Eun-jin has been unlucky in love throughout her life and just as she is about to give up, she meets the bumbling but sweet Hyeon-suk. Things go well between them, but not long after their engagement she begins to suspect that he...
