Watch The U.S. Trailer For Palme d'Or Winner WINTER SLEEP

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 04:00 AM PDT

Equally hailed and disregarded for a plethora of reasons that could probably fill its near 3 and a half hour running time, Nuri Belge Ceylan, Turkey's preeminent filmmaker on the international stage, nonetheless walked away from this year's Cannes with the Palme d'Or for his latest Winter Sleep.Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel in central Anatolia with his young wife Nihal with whom he has a stormy relationship and his sister Necla who is suffering from her recent divorce. In winter as the snow begins to fall, the hotel turns into a shelter but also an inescapable place that fuels their animosities...With Winter Sleep appearing this weekend at Telluride, then Toronto, and finally a theatrical release later this year, its U.S. distributor Adopt...

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:22 PM PDT

Dear forest child in the mask. Why are you so stabby? This was supposed to be a nice weekend for this pack of cub scout. Full of campfires, sleeping under the stars and sing-a-longs. But now you have shown up and folk are starting to die. Horrifically. Wow. The trailer for Jonas Govaert's upcoming horror flick Cub dropped today over at The Playlist and hoo boy is it a dandy. Everything is nice and possibly mysterious and then at the halfway point all hell breaks loose. Somebody's been spiking the beer in Belgium! I will allow it. Folks who catch this film at its World Premiere during Midnight Madness at TIFF on Wednesday, September 10th are in for a treat. As of now no one has distribution rights...

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 01:30 PM PDT

What happens when a small-town Bulgarian school-teacher is driven to extreme lengths by loan sharks? A lot of tension, it would appear from this new trailer for Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov's The Lesson making its world premiere in the Contemporary World Cinema program at TIFF. Biled as a "dark and wild Eastern European take on Dardenne Brothers style." We'll have more when the fest unspools next week....

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT

The annual Fan Expo returns to Toronto this weekend to offer cultists a rare glimpse of larger than life figures from favorite movies, TV shows, comic books and other emblems of pulp fiction. To many cult aficionados, in the land of the bizarre, there is nothing more coveted than David Lynch's Twin Peaks, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. To the delight of Peaks die-hards, the Fan Expo has truly outdone itself by bringing a few beloved characters to town for a panel reunion.One such attendee is Ray Wise, who was blessed with the role of a lifetime in Leland Palmer.

Watch The Second Teaser For SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE MOVIE

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:00 AM PDT

I think it would be a safe bet to say that Shaun the Sheep is one of the most spun-off characters of any franchise of all time! I dare say, at this point he is probably more popular than his predecessors Wallace & Gromit ever were. Shaun has been in 130 episodes, on multiple DVDs and is the Best BBC Television Character of All Time, as voted in a Radio Times poll. So colour us delighted when Shaun the Sheep: The Movie was announced. And colour us even further delighted with the second teaser trailer. When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for! Shaun's mischief inadvertently leads to The Farmer being taken away from...

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT

Did you feel that Wong Kar-Wai's elegant, graceful, and exciting The Grandmaster was too ... oh, what's the word ... two-dimensional? The director has come up with a solution. He is adding a third dimension to the biographical action movie, which will be released in 3D in October, according to Variety. The 3D edition will receive a wide release in China, and everyone will be able to examine Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Zhang Ziyi in the glory of the third dimension.

The Many Faces Of Mads Mikkelsen

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT

Released this week on Blu-ray in the US, Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas (known as just Michael Kohlhaas in the rest of the world) tells a story of rebellion and revenge, starring Mads Mikkelsen. And he is awesome in it, as James Marsh explains in his review. Then again, this isn't exactly the first time Mads Mikkelsen has been great in a film... Therefore, once again I'm going to use a gallery of seven close-ups of one of my favorite thespians to make a quiz, so click through the images and guess which movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb. And I'll post the answers on Thursday, unless they...

Exclusive Clip: KUNDO: AGE OF THE RAMPANT Dazzles, Baby

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Sometimes you just have to sit down, sit back, and let the magic of a movie swamp your brain. Kundo: Age of the Rampant opens in select U.S. theaters today (Friday, August 29), and while I can't imagine that the idea of a period martial arts action movie from Asia is exactly new to anyone visiting this site, please note the extremely positive review by Pierce Conran, our Korea-based correspondent, who is not easily impressed by such things. Here is the set-up, according to Mr. Conran: A group of Robin Hood-like bandits called Kundo roam the land, taking from the corrupt rich and giving back to the embattled poor. Dol Moo-chi, a lowly butcher, finds himself embroiled in an assassination plot hatched by the young prince Jo Yoon,...
