| Posted: 27 Aug 2014 08:06 PM PDT  Presenting a marvelous banquet of fantastic titles with their first announcement, Utopia: The Tel-Aviv International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film has, in the proverbial sense, something for everyone -- as long as you have good taste in genre films! Kicking things off on September 13 will be Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem, which, as always with Gilliam, means a must-see title, no matter the reaction to it. What We Do in the Shadows, which tickled the fancy of our own Ryland Aldrich when he saw it earlier this year, will serve as the closing night presentation on September 20. In between are plenty of tasty titles, including some that are well-known to the Twitch readership -- Frank Pavich's documentary Jodorowsky's Dune -- and...

| Amazing One-Sheet For WHY HORROR? Doc Will Blow Your Brains Out Posted: 27 Aug 2014 05:30 PM PDT  Wow. The one-sheet poster for the upcoming documentary Why Horror?, illustrated by the illustrious Goulish Gary Pullin, is truly awesome. His level of talent sickens me. You have the host and tour guide through the realms of horror, Tal Zimmerman, losing his pink stuff front and center. I believe that is John Carpenter up there with Romero in the top left. You have the Soska Twins up there in top right. Of course, there is no mistaking Kayako Saeki from The Grudge there to the left. Then there is The Deadly Mantis to the right. I do not know the significance of the Dias De Los Muertos girl, which is why I must see this doc. now!!!... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Fantastic Fest Second Wave Of Films Announced, NIGHTCRAWLER To Close Posted: 27 Aug 2014 02:01 PM PDT  As I will be attending my very first Fantastic Fest in but a few weeks, I now feel, more than ever, that it is my duty to present news on the fest (not that I wasn't willing to before). So, today we have for you their second wave of films, which includes Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler as the closing night offering. But since that one is getting a general release very, very soon, more importantly there's the North American premiere of Taxidermia director György Pálfi's much acclaimed absurdest parable Free Fall (reviewed here), new work from Toad Road director Jason Banker in Felt, the world premiere of Chilean actioner Redeemer, as well as the US premieres of Sono Sion's Tokyo Tribe, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorehead's...

| Review: H2OMX, Or, Mexico City Has A Lack Of Water Problem Posted: 27 Aug 2014 01:01 PM PDT  José Cohen and Lorenzo Hagerman's H2Omx is in the vein of those documentaries that have raising awareness on a current problem as main objective.Its subject might be a local issue, that affects Mexico City and other nearby places, but the doc can appeal to a wider audience for sure, as its nature allows you to see how life in Mexico's capital works for some people. H2Omx quickly establishes that Mexico City has had a lack of water problem for several decades now. That's the main theme here but soon some other subjects emerge (i.e. the constant inundations in the city), though everything has to do to water. As Cohen said when I interviewed him, "the film's protagonist is the water." Still, H2Omx is a collage... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Take A Look At The Poster For Maori Action Pic THE DEAD LANDS Posted: 27 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT  All set to have its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday, September 4 at 9:00 p.m. in the always electric Ryerson theatre, Toa Fraser's Maori action flick The Dead Lands has a dandy poster.From the festival page: In this dazzling action epic set in pre-colonial New Zealand, the young son of a murdered tribal chieftain seeks vengeance on his family's killers by learning the ancient Maori martial arts from a legendary warrior.

| Destroy All Monsters: My Television Cost Money; Kindly Fill All Of It Posted: 27 Aug 2014 08:01 AM PDT  We return this week to a time where the purveyors of multimedia, en masse, evidently require some form of re-education on the concept of frame sizes. I lived through Frame War I, when every movie in existence was rapidly ported to VHS and other home screening formats, which required (for most movies shot after 1960, at least) that they have their "arms" chopped off - meaning the excision of the left and right sides of their rectangular frames, to fit the (then) square television sets. Now we're onto Frame War II, where the televisions have kindly obliged the cinematic landscape by adopting a rectangular aspect ratio, and the laughably inevitable result now has various television channels chopping the "heads and feet" off the frames of...
