Morelia 2014: Official Mexican Selection Revealed

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 09:01 AM PDT

The Morelia International Film Festival revealed today its official selection, showcasing a lineup exclusively composed of Mexican films. It's definitely exciting, as these are the national movies that will most likely hit theaters during 2015. There are some familiar names, such as Nicolas Pereda and Julián Hernández, and a handful of films that I have seen already, including Coffee, Death in Arizona, Bering. Equilibrio y Resistencia, and I Am Happiness on Earth. In that regard, I'm a little surprised, as Morelia was supposedly only selecting films that hadn't been part of another festival before. Morelia's official Mexican selection is divided in five sections: Michoacán, Mexican Short Film, Mexican Documentary, Mexican Feature Film, and Online Mexican Short Film. The definitive feature length film highlight might be Alonso Ruizpalacios'...

Hey Australia! Win Tickets To See TEMPORARY FAMILY In Cinemas!

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 08:30 AM PDT

It is great to see Nick Cheung returning to comedy following a string of hit thrillers like Beast Stalker, Stool Pigeon, Unbeatable and The White Storm. Many of the actor's early film roles were actually in comedies and films such as The Conman and The Duel prove how good a comic actor he is. In his latest film Temporary Family, he teams up with HK's queen of romantic comedies Sammi Cheng (Needing You..., Love On A Diet) and the pair look to bring lots of laughs to audiences. Temporary Family is due to be released in Australian cinemas on August 21, and thanks to its distributor Magnum Films, we have FIVE double passes to give away. For a chance to win, all you have to do is to...

The Many Faces Of Jeff Bridges

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT

This week, the film adaptation of young-adult novel The Giver appears in cinemas, and the two elder people in it are played by Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. They've both had plenty of awesome moments in their careers and could easily feature in the quiz, so I asked my colleagues for opinions. In the end we settled on Jeff. Heh. Normally I'd now explain why Jeff Bridges is cool, but with him it's not really necessary, is it? So once again I'm going to use a gallery of 11 close-ups of one of my favorite thespians to make a quiz (La Streep will surely get her turn at some later date). Click through the images and guess which 11 movies they're from. No competition, no...

Lima 2014 Review: VIEJOS AMIGOS, A Light, Harmless Comedy About Growing Old

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:01 AM PDT

The debut film from director Fernando Villarán, Viejos Amigos is one of the most anticipated local films of the year. For some odd reason, its theatrical run has kicked off on the same week it plays at the Lima Film Festival, which just means that everyone now has a chance to see it. The question is, is it worth it? Despite some obvious problems, the answer is largely yes.Balo (Ricardo Blume), Villarán (Enrique Victoria) and Domingo (Carlos Gassols) are lifelong friends in their 80s, attending the funeral of their fourth comrade, Quique. On a whim, and fueled by their animosity towards the departed's shrewish wife, they steal the urn containing the ashes and are thrust into a series of misadventures,The plot's pretty slight, but the real pleasure of...
