Keanu's Back In The Slick, Action-Packed Trailer For JOHN WICK!

Keanu's Back In The Slick, Action-Packed Trailer For JOHN WICK!

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 02:00 AM PDT

Someone has killed his dog! Bitches. Must. Pay. The Fantastic Fest Gala Screening of John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves, directed by stuntmen Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, is just around the corner. Production company Lionsgate dropped the first trailer today, in which everything blows up real good. It is a reunion of sorts. Stahelski and Leitch worked on The Matrix series with Reeves. This is their first foray into direction and the end result looks as polished as any Hollywood production can. Once the trailer kicks in there looks to be plenty of gunplay and opportunities for Reeves to display his action chops. I feel it is safe to assume that the story of John Wick, a former hitman who comes out of retirement when some thugs jack his ride...

Toronto 2014 Review: THE LOOK OF SILENCE Is A Film For The Ages

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:30 PM PDT

Since I saw it back at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act Of Killing has lived up to my early impression - that the work is truly one of the great films of all time, documentary or no, providing a startling insight into the banality of evil, the stories we tell one another to make sense of horror, and the way that history, film, and narrative can all collide in ways that are quite simply astonishing. The Look of Silence, a companion piece to the original, plays a very important role in expanding the canvas that Oppenheimer and his collaborators depicted in the first film. Part sequel, part prequel, this is in many ways a far more subtle film than...

These New Posters For Shankar And Vikram's AI Are Out Of This World

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:00 PM PDT

I've been waiting for Tamil blockbuster machine Shankar to impress me for several years, following the (critical) disappointment of Nanban. While Shankar's international star saw a little bit of light following the West's discovery of 2010 insane-athon Enthiran (Robot), he hasn't done anything worth noting outside of Tamil film since. It looks like that is about to change, and in a huge way.Shankar's latest project is a film titled I or Ai, depending on who you ask. The film stars Vikram, best known to Twitch readers as either the star of the chicken-suited superhero masterpiece, Kanthaswamy, or of the delirious-looking I Am Sam rip-off, Deiva Thirumagal. What you probably don't know is that Vikram is a ham of epic proportions and his performance as the...

Toronto 2014 Review: THE EDITOR is Eager to Please

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 04:30 PM PDT

The directors of The Editor, Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy, along with the rest of their cohorts from VHS-obsessed Winnipeg film collective Astron-6, must have been mighty pissed when they caught wind of Berberian Sound Studio. Peter Strickland's 2012 film was a comic meditation on 1970s Italian Giallos featuring a fragile British film editor trying to finish a film in Italy while he slowly loses his mind due to the culture shock and vulgar cinema imagery. The Editor, operating from a similar premise, features a suicidal film editor equally out of sync with the studio he works with, losing his mind due to everyone being murdered around him. This kind of co-incidence where two features of similar ideas in development at the same time happen...

CANTINFLAS Is Mexico's Submission For The Academy Awards, LA DICTADURA PERFECTA Goes For The Goya

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT

After the Mexican Academy of Film Arts and Sciences (AMACC) revealed which films were going to be considered for the 2015 Academy and Goya Awards, I said the "clear favorites" were the Cantinflas biopic and the political satire La Dictadura Perfecta. Yesterday it was announced that, indeed, Cantinflas is Mexico's submission for the Oscars, while La Dictadura Perfecta for the Spanish equivalent. I have seen Cantinflas already and since my review is coming on September 17, I will just say it would be a surprise if Mexico gets the Best Foreign Language Film nomination with this biopic. However, Cantinflas is already a commercial success in the United States, so the task is not impossible. Cantinflas is about to open in several Latin America countries: Mexico and Bolivia (September...

Z NATION Starts Tonight On SyFy And Space

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:30 AM PDT

Three years after a zombie outbreak, Lt. Mark Hammond is escorting Murphy from New York to a lab in California. They come across a commune run by former reservist Charles Garnett. Hammond recruits Garnett to take him to the next checkpoint where transportation is waiting to take them the rest of the way. From The Asylum, Z Nation follows a group of ordinary citizens who are tasked with transporting across the U.S the only known human to have been bitten and not succumb to a zombie plague, in hope of finding  a cure. Z Nation carries all the cheekiness of an Asylum production. There is some self awareness going on here. The show is not playing face cards here; but it is not low brow either. It...

The Many Faces Of James Gandolfini

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:00 AM PDT

This week sees the release of Michaël Roskam's The Drop, known once upon a time as Animal Rescue. However, it will in all probability also be known as "The Last Movie With James Gandolfini In It", as the late beloved actor (who died more than a year ago already - how time flies...), has an important supporting part in this film. James Gandolfini often played to his build: a terrifying, hulking brute of a man, with a face mean enough to hate. But he was also surprisingly effective when counter-cast as the sole voice of reason, or when showing a sudden spark of intelligence, of humanity. It's no accident that he was often given character arcs with elements of redemption in them, as he was...

Exclusive: THESE FINAL HOURS Poster Premiere Gets Apocalyptic

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT

Apocalyptic Australian thriller These Final Hours opens in select theaters in Canada on October 17 and will also be available across Canada on iTunes® and On-Demand the same day. To celebrate, we are pleased to premiere the gorgeous, yet still unsettling, Canadian poster. Our own Kwenton Bellette described the movie as "a firecracker of a production," noting further: It is exactly what it sounds like; an intense genre exercise respecting the best of its kind whilst being imbued with truly original and meaningful characters and implications. Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek) plays James, a strung-out, conflicted mess who aches to travel to his girlfriend's party and lose himself in drink, drugs and debauchery. Perth suburbia is transformed as machete wielding maniacs stalk areas blocked by makeshift...

Watch The Exclusive Teaser For Raucous Australian Zombie Film WYRMWOOD

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Though the Roache-Turner Brothers' Wyrmwood won't mark the first time that the undead have sauntered through Fantastic Fest we're willing to bet that this rowdy Australian effort will leave quite a mark when it arrives. Hugely stylish while adding a few new twists to the zombie mythos this thing is the epitome of a crowd movie, one that wants you to get up and cheer and gives plenty of reasons to do so. And as a bit of a wee demonstration we've got a first look at the film's first teaser - actually the opening sequence to the movie - to whet the appetite. Here's how I describe it in the Fantastic Fest program guide:"This morning I shot my wife and child with a nail...

L'Etrange 2014: Sono Sion Talks TOKYO TRIBE And All Things Etrange

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 06:30 AM PDT

This past Monday, L'Etrange Festival brought together Sono Sion and 500 hyped up fans for an absolutely electric screening of Tokyo Tribe. Though the French speaking audience learned at the last minute the print would only have English subtitles, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm or, from what I could tell, understanding of the film one bit. Chalk it up to Etrange's stellar audiences and Sono's madcap vision. The director stuck around for questions after the film, and then turned up again a few days later for a quick press conference that Twitch had the pleasure to attend. Below are some of the highlights.On his definition of "Etrange" and his most memorable festival moment That's a tough question, but with regards to "etrange" I think more about...

Fantastic Fest 2014: Behold The Gorgeous Poster For Lee Sang-woo's Uncompromising I AM TRASH

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT

The line-up for this year's Fantastic Fest is awash with festival faves and complete unknowns, including a bevy of World Premieres of films audiences will likely know next to nothing about. Chief among those is Lee Sang-woo's I Am Trash, a ferociously dark and twisted family drama that gives a whole new meaning to the term "dysfunctional". I Am Trash is the latest in a string of uncompromising micro-budgeted indie flicks to come out of South Korea from the incredibly prolific Lee - following works with titles as outrageous as My Mother Is A Whore and Father Is A Dog. Trust me, I Am Trash is absolutely worth checking out. Huge thanks to the incredibly gracious 2Mr Films for giving Twitch an exclusive first look at the brand spanking new poster for the film...
