Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:13 PM PDT

You can't go back in time without cheese. Danger 5 know this all too well as they continue their bonkers mission to kill Hitler, only this time it's personal!The trailer from Dinosaur has hit, promising the most insane two minutes you'll spend with the Führer. Season 2 seems likely to top the madness and laughs that season one so gleefully provided and the change-up in scope and episode structure shows that Dinosaur are going to bring up something very special indeed.Danger 5 Season 2 will be shown in its entirety at Fantastic Fest and premieres in Australia on SBS One soon.Review of season one is here.Check out my review with the creators from season one here.Check the glorious trailer after the jump....

Toronto 2014 Review: THE VOICES, Silly And Schizoid

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 07:00 PM PDT

It's days after I saw it, and I still haven't decided if Marjane Satrapi's The Voices is sublime or shit. I think, frankly, that it's an unholy combination of both, a mess of a film that still has moments that beyond any credulity actually work. Toeing a very fine line between comedy, horror, and melodrama, the film stars Ryan Reynolds as Jerry, a forklift operator in a small industrial town called Milton. It's clear pretty early on that Jerry's got some issues, and behind those shiny eyes and capped teeth there's a darkness brewing. Joined by a cast that includes Jacki Weaver, Gemma Arterton, and Anna Kendrick, the film plays like a soap opera directed by John Waters after he binged on too many...

Watch The First Promo For John Woo's Romantic Epic THE CROSSING

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 06:00 PM PDT

While better known internationally as an orchestrator of high-end violence and mayhem, Hong Kong director John Woo can also handle melodrama. Case in point, his upcoming two-part romantic epic The Crossing.Zhang Ziyi, Kaneshiro Takeshi, Song Hyekyo and Huang Xiaoming star in a tale about three couples whose fates coincided on the Taiwan bound Taiping steamer, which sank in the crossing from China in 1949, leaving many to call it the "Chinese Titanic". The first part will be released theatrically in China on December 2nd while the second part will be released sometime in early 2015. You'll find the first promo video, a sort of trailer MC'd by Woo himself, embedded below....

James Franco Is All Set To RANT

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:30 PM PDT

If there are two names that get people flapping and flaming their lips more than most, that'd be renaissance man extraordinaire James Franco and mostly author Chuck Palahniuk. And now since Franco has optioned the rights to Palahniuk's novel Rant, you'll be able to get all your earnest fan boying or bashing out in just one helluva breath.The news broke over at Lit Reactor, by Twitch's own Joshua Chaplinsky who acts as LT's managing editor.

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 01:00 PM PDT

Our friends down in Ithaca, New York have been busy preparing for their third annual festival. Today they announced the first wave of titles and there are a lot of festival favorites in the first wave. The Ithaca crowd will get to see Bradley King's Time Lapse, The Mo Brothers' Killers, and Adrian Garcia Bogliano's Late Phases among others. There will also be a retrospective program titled Witchcraft in Popular Imagination. Retrospective screenings include The Wicker Man (the good one) and The Exorcist. Of course it would not be the Ithaca Int'l Fantastic Film Festival without a terrific illustrated poster.

Review: THE MAN ON HER MIND Can't Imagine Rom-Com Success

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:02 PM PDT

In the world of "indie filmmaking," there are some pretty readily identifiable tiers. There is, of course, the Sony Pictures Classics level of indies - the kind of films with budgets reaching well into the millions, featuring recognizable stars and often boasting a theatrical art house run. Then there are the true indies, perhaps the "pure indies" - films made for virtually no money, and very little in the way of other resources, yet thrust into being by the enduring passion of their creators. Unfortunately, even when these films know their limits, the seams still end up very much showing. The Man on Her Mind is just such an effort. Filmmakers Alan Hruska (an experienced director) and Bruce Guthrie (not so much) were wise enough to contain...

Toronto 2014 Review: LEVIATHAN Takes A Gorgeous And Savage Look At Modern Russia

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT

A rundown fishing town on the coast of the Arctic Ocean is the rugged edge-of-the-world stage for Andrey Zvyagintsev's complex, but quite accessible, new film. There is a visual mastery of relating wide open natural spaces, with precise man-made interiors, present in all of his work, but taken to new heights here.Leviathan tells the tale of a man losing his land, losing his wife to his best friend, and losing his son to anger. It scales this Job-sian human tragedy up to savage some sacred-cows, the Russian institutions of community, the state and the orthodox church. That this is based on a true story is shocking (and utterly believable) in both the specifics and the universality. You certainly don't have to speak Russian to understand human...

L'Etrange 2014 Review: THE TRIBE, No Sound, But A Whole Lot Of Fury

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:01 AM PDT

Not one word of dialogue is spoken in director Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy's The Tribe, a stark Ukrainian drama that mixes gang thriller with boarding school intrigue, and pushes the maxim 'show don't tell' into brutal new extremes. The film presents a series of familiar conventions in a stunningly unfamiliar way, but ultimately leaves one feeling rather cold. While the lack of spoken-word sound is more than made up for in abundant fury, The Tribe, if not quite signifying nothing, never adds up to anything greater than the sum of its admittedly novel parts.The film's protagonist, insofar as it has one, is Sergey (Grigory Fesenko), a young deaf-mute newly enrolled in a rundown school catering to his disability. Though the film opens and closes on him, and...

Review: HONEYMOON, All Parts Scare

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:01 AM PDT

From Honeymoon's opening montage of our newlywed couple reminiscing about falling in love, you might think you are settling in for romantic drama about the challenges of starting a life together. You'd be wrong. While plenty of challenges await our young lovers at their lakeside getaway, they're not of a typical marriage quarrel nature. No, something is very wrong at this idyllic cabin in the woods. Is there something supernatural afoot, or is there a more logical explanation? While it wouldn't be right to reveal that information, it would be very wrong not to point out how impressive this debut feature from Leigh Janiak is. Honeymoon is a taut thriller that very quickly gets up to full speed - and once there, plunges the audience...

Review: AT THE DEVIL'S DOOR, Quiet Horror With A Touch Of The Creepy Crazy

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:01 AM PDT

A teenage girl in love with a teenage boy plays a cryptic game. A twenty-something woman goes about her rounds as a real estate agent in a depressed market, then visits her younger sister, a depressed artist. These three women play key roles in At the Devil's Door, a quiet horror film with a welcome touch of the creepy crazies. Writer/director Nicholas McCarthy, who made his directorial debut with The Pact, is still not interested in holding hands with the audience, as far as creating signposts to make it easy to follow the narrative initially. Whereas his earliest effort held little tension or suspense for me when I saw it in 2012, however, he paints with a larger palette in At the Devil's Door, with...

Opening: THE GREEN PRINCE Documents A Moral Quagmire

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 07:01 AM PDT

The documentary The Green Prince tells the story of a unique connection between two men. Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of one of the founders of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Arrested at the age of 17, he was placed under the protection of Shin Bet, the Israeli equivalent of the CIA or MI6. There he meets his handler, Gonen Ben Yitzchak, who eventually turns him into a critical informant for the Israelis. It wouldn't do justice to the film to detail the back-and-forths that take place after this initial encounter, for much of the pleasure from the work delves from the surprise. Suffice it to say, there has rarely been a work, documentary or no, that so thoroughly details both the inner machinations...

Nothing Is What It Seems In The Trailer For Post-WWII Thriller PHOENIX

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 06:30 AM PDT

For the past 14 years German director Christian Petzold has been steadily building up a reputation as a post-renuifciation master, subverting genre plots and tropes into fascinating and haunting meditations on modern (and the largely still fractured) Germany. But with 2012's Barbara, Petzold's most high profile film yet, he went back to the days of the iron curtain to conjure a story of empowerment, sacrifice and defiance. He now looks to be rocketing into the upper echelons of prestigious world cinema with his latest, a Post-WWII set work entitled Phoenix.Bowing at Toronto this past week, Petzold's seventh feature film (not counting some fine television work) sees his often muse Nina Hoss as a concentration camp survivor. Undergoing extensive facial surgery for the wounds she received...
