| Melbourne 2014 Review: GOD HELP THE GIRL, A Twee Little Mess Posted: 10 Aug 2014 08:01 PM PDT  Coming from Belle & Sebastian front-man Stuart Murdoch, God Help The Girl is a directorial debut disaster. The film is stung by lashes of awkward editing, a sloppy screenplay, and a cloying suffocation of artificial, twee characters.Our 'girl' in this modern day tale is Eve (Emily Browning), a patient with mental health issues who takes off on literal flights of fancy. The mundane surroundings of Glasgow become a hipster's paradise of garish fashion and culture altogether consumed by Eve's music-video montage imagination. In her medicated melancholy, she befriends a musician named James (Olly Alexander) and his semi-pupil Cassie (Hannah Murray). Poor James is forever friend-zoned by Eve, and Cassie is the equivalent of a ditzy Barbie doll, lacking most signs of humanity and merely existing as... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Lima 2014 Review: GUEROS Takes You On A Ride Through Mexico City Posted: 10 Aug 2014 11:01 AM PDT  Gueros, the debut film from director Alonso Ruiz Palacios, begins on a high note: a stylish, energetic opening detailing the inevitable collision between a woman carrying her baby on a stroller and a badly timed water balloon. This little act of delinquency is what lands young Tomás (Sebastián Aguirre) in Mexico City, under the care of older brother Sombra (Tenoch Huerta), who lounges around his apartment waiting for a students' strike to finish so he can complete his thesis.Joined by Sombra's equally slacker pal Santos (Leonardo Ortizgris), and later a radio DJ/love interest named Ana (Ilse Salas), the brothers take off in search of a reclusive, near-mythical former rock star named Epigmenio Cruz, a favorite of their late father, whose biggest claim to fame is...

| Mayhem Film Festival Presents Ten Days Of Genre Film During MAYHEM X Posted: 10 Aug 2014 10:02 AM PDT  The Mayhem Film Festival will descend once again on Nottingham, England this October. To celebrate their ten-year anniversary, the festival is expanding their usual weekend-long program to ten days. Chris Cooke, co-director of Mayhem, says: "This year, Mayhem will be just as packed as ever with brand new, never seen before releases and we're really excited about our opening film, a real treat for regular attendees of the festival and those who have never been before. With Teen Mayhem, Certificate X and the main festival it means the genre can really be given the attention and love it deserves. And then of course, straight after four days of horror, we have even more to look forward to for Sci-Fi fans in December..."Starting on October 25, the... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| RISE OF THE LEGEND: First Trailer And Posters For A New Wong Fei Hung Story Posted: 10 Aug 2014 09:01 AM PDT  Because you can never have too many movies about Wong Fei Hung, Roy Chow Hin Yeung's Rise of the Legend will tell the story of the martial arts master for a new generation. And we've got the first trailer and posters to prepare the way. Heading for theatrical release in November, the movie stars Eddie Peng as the man and the legend, probably still best known outside China via Jet Li's portrayal in Tsui Hark's Once Upon a Time in China series. Those films were hardly the first to tell Wong Fei Hung's story, however, as his first big-screen portrayal of the folk hero emerged in 1949. But it's been some 17 years since the last of the OUATIC movies, so it's time for a new... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
