When It's Viking Versus Horse The Viking Always Wins! Watch The Full NORTHMEN Trailer Now!

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 02:00 AM PDT

You know, there's an awful lot to be said for a piece of pulpy entertainment that knows it's a piece of pulpy entertainment, fully embraces the pulp, and knows what to do with it. Like having a viking tackle a horse and win and then building up from there.Consider Claudio Fah's Northmen: A Viking Saga something of a scrappy younger brother to A Knight's Tale and you're probably in the right neighborhood for what you're about to walk into with the freshly released trailer. Silly? Oh, yes. But fantastically so. Check it out below....

A Creepy As Hell Theatrical Trailer Washes Down THE CANAL

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 02:15 PM PDT

A major buzz title when it premiered in Tribeca, Ivan Kavanagh's Irish chiller The Canal hits US screens and VOD platforms October 10th from The Orchard and they've delivered one hell of a creepy trailer to demonstrate why people have been talking about this one.Sitting in an empty theater, a film archivist watches the grainy footage that will be his undoing. David and his wife are perfectly happy--or so he believes. When he finds out the home he shares with his wife and son was the scene of a ghastly turn-of-the-century murder, David dismisses it as ancient history. That is, until the sinister history ripples into the present and casts a shadow over life as he knows it. And when a looming secret shatters his...

Argentina Delivers A Slick Thriller With ARREBATO

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 01:30 PM PDT

Where did the Hollywood thriller go? Remember the days when movies like Fatal Attraction, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Basic Instinct et al jostled for space on screens? Hollywood seems to have abandoned these sorts of films almost entirely these days - the mid budget film aimed at an adult audience - but luckily for us it seems like the rest of the world is stepping into the vacated space quite nicely. The wave of quality Nordic thrillers over the past few years has been undeniable and now it appears there's a quality Argentinian offering coming in Arrebato.While there doesn't appear to be much in the way of English language info out there on the title, the trailer for Sandra Gugliotta's picture promises the...

Blu-ray Review: MARDOCK SCRAMBLE (THIRD EXHAUST), Sleazy Yet Satisfying

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 10:02 AM PDT

(Teenage Hooker Concludes Trilogy... but is she a Killing Machine?) This month, the third and final film in the Mardock Scramble trilogy was released in the United Kingdom. As I have seen and reviewed the first two films (here and here), I felt obligated to check out the ending of this story as well. Like with the first film, the second film ended with a big cliffhanger, so I quickly plunked in the disc to see what happened next. And there was another reason to anticipate this title: the first two films were schizophrenic creations, trying to be trashy exploitation and poignant psychological drama at the same time. Does the trilogy still teeter uneasily on the brink of both, or does this third act plunge...

The dark comic drama It Was You Charlie is opening in Toronto at the Bell Lightbox Cinema on Friday, August 15, and we've got tickets to give away! First, though, you'll want to watch the trailer, which begins in a lighthearted manner before becoming more troubling. (You can watch below.) Here's the official synopsis: It Was You Charlie is a dark comedy-drama that tells the story of a lonely graveyard shift doorman named Abner, a once-accomplished sculptor and former college art teacher, but now sadly, a mere shadow of his former self.

Hollywood Icon Lauren Bacall Passes Away

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 09:01 AM PDT

"You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." That legendary line came from Lauren Bacall's first film To Have and Have Not. That's not the kind of line you forget, nor the actress. Bacall passed away yesterday at her home in New York at the age of 89. With a career spanning more than 60 years, so many memorable performances, and her short but happy marriage to fellow star Humphrey Bogart, Bacall was one of the last of Hollywood's Golden Age legends.She was born Betty Joan Perske in New York, to Jewish immigrant parents who would divorce when she was young. After moving to California with her mother, Bacall began working as a model, before doing a...

Destroy All Monsters: Come Back, Damon Lindelof

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 08:01 AM PDT

On the day of the Great Departure, Damon Lindelof cancelled his Twitter account in mid-sentence, as befits the content of his new series, The Leftovers. None of us even got a chance to say goodbye. Nor were any of us, for a short while anyway, given a context for Lindelof's departure in order to make sense of what had happened, though eventually it became clear. In some ways Lindelof's twitterdammerung is a better thematic examination of grief in the face of unexpected loss than The Leftovers itself. We are, all of us, left over; and the world we are left with is, by the departed's absence, revealing itself to be a dire thing indeed. I miss Damon Lindelof. I miss his voice. I miss those...

Memories Of The Future: Chris Marker Retro With Newly Restored LEVEL FIVE At BAM

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 08:01 AM PDT

With the theatrical release of the digitally restored 1997 film Level 5, Brooklyn's own BAM Cinematek is hosting a rare retrospective of Chris Marker, one of the most singular voices in cinema history.Marker passed on in 2012. But as a writer, photographer, visual essayist and multimedia artist, Marker leaves an impressive body of work that spans more than half a century. His uncategorizable cinematic oeuvre touched upon politics, technology, cinema, artists, time and memories. He was an acute observer of the past and present, and cinema's own soothsayer.The retro includes Sunless, one of my absolute favorites; La Jetée, a seminal time-travel, sci-fi classic; Bestiary Series, his short visual haikus on animals; Statues Also Die (with Alain Resnais) and Valparaiso (with Joris Ivens), his collaborative efforts; The Six Side of...

Review: DARKER THAN NIGHT (MÁS NEGRO QUE LA NOCHE), An Embarrassingly Bad 3D Remake

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 07:00 AM PDT

The original Más Negro Que la Noche, or Darker Than Night, was written and directed by the late Carlos Enrique Taboada in 1975. Widely considered as one of the most important Mexican horror films ever made, it is everything this new 3D remake is not: simple yet effective, atmospheric, coherent, memorable, and serious. Sure, we all can have fun as the characters say the title more than once, but nonetheless, Taboada's film is a solemn take of a classic ghost/haunted house story. Cut to 2014, and we've got not only the characters repeating the title "Más Negro Que la Noche", but also a complete fest of ridiculous material that, needless to say, will piss off those who respect the 1975 version. Respecting the original premise,...

Lima 2014 Review: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Differently In TO KILL A MAN

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 06:00 AM PDT

Jorge (Daniel Candia) is a meek, introverted park ranger who spends most of his day alone in the forest. On the way home one night, he runs into a group of thugs led by the neighborhood bully, Kalule (Daniel Antivilo), who intimidates him and steals his diabetes medication. When he sees his father unwilling to do anything, Jorge's teenage son intercedes and ends up getting shot, landing in the hospital for his trouble. Shooting himself to claim self-defense, Kalule goes to prison for two years and once released, starts harassing Jorge's family. When the authorities turn a blind eye, this quiet man takes matters into his own hands, armed with nothing but a shotgun.If this sounds familiar, it's because it follows the basic outline of...
