Review: DOCTOR WHO S8E05, TIME HEIST (Or, The Doctor Finds The Time To Rob A Bank)

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 03:10 AM PDT

On the surface, there's so much about "Time Heist" that should be loads of fun. Doctor Who and time travelling bank robbery shenanigans seems like such a perfect fit that it had me wondering if the show's taken on this concept before. Maybe it has and maybe it hasn't, but there's ultimately too much that's familiar in this uninspired episode. It's as if writers Stephen Thomson and Steven Moffat felt so pleased with themselves for coming up with the premise that they didn't bother to come up with a story to go with it.After its more serious episodes, Doctor Who always goes for something more lighthearted and throwaway. As long as its assured enough in both modes, it can continue to be the rare series that...

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: TOMBVILLE Plunges Into Nasty Nightmare Territory

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 03:30 PM PDT

A young boy is handed a gun by his mother. It is night, the boy's mother is panicked, and an armed man is about to invade their home. The anxieties quickly mount in Tombville, Nikolas Last's feature directorial debut, even as the action cuts to a battered and bruised man running down a road in the dead of night. He remembers that his name is David, but otherwise his memory is gone, even after a strange, brief encounter with another man, and yet another with an older man outfitted with instruments of torture. The atmosphere of dread is intensified by a disturbing sound design that leans heavily on rhythmic, metallic noises, as though a beating heart were scraping through softened iron. Just when it seems...

Watch Sentai Inspired Uruguayan Scifi Short Z!

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 03:00 PM PDT

Here's a little something unexpected from the halls of the Mercado Fantastico at Fantastic Fest: A scifi / action short film from Uruguay with La Casa Muda director Gustavo Hernandez as an executive producer and Local God writer Santiago Gonzalez stepping into the directors chair to showcase his love of Japanese sentai shows like Kamen Rider. Surprising combination of influences? Oh, yes, and the results are pretty fascinating. Designed both to showcase Gonzalez's directing skills and introduce what promises to be part of a sprawling cinematic universe, this is just the first part of what will hopefully grow to be something much, much larger. Take a look below....

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: WYRMWOOD, A Wild, Wild Apocalypse

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT

Wildly apocalyptic with dollops of silliness, Wyrmwood proves to be a splendidly gritty affair, a tale that feels like it's being told from the back of a jeep as it races away from doomsday on a very bumpy road in Australia. To start things off ... well, let's skip past that and get right into the two main story threads. The primary engine follows Barry (Jay Gallagher) and his family as a deadly outbreak comes home. He's awakened by a frantic phone call from his sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey), who was enjoying an informal photo session with two friends at home when one of them appears to get violently, unexplainably ill. Brooke wakes up Barry with a dire warning, and then the phone line goes...

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: WHISPERS BEHIND THE WALL, For Those Who Listen Closely

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 09:30 AM PDT

'Stand over by the window, it's better light. Good. Now why don't you take off your sweater? Good. Now why don't you take off your shirt?' Martin (Vincent Redetzki) is desperate, so he does what he's asked by Horn, the older janitor he's just met. As Whispers Behind the Wall (Die Frau hinter der Wan) begins, the younger man has been sleeping in his car while starting law school, unable to secure an apartment in Berlin, but Horn offers the possibility of his own place. Martin is ready to take anything, even a deplorably unkempt, sub-leased space that's been walled off from his new landlady's large apartment. As he cleans up his new accommodations, Martin realizes that he can hear, well, whispers and other conversations...

Pretty Packaging: Take A Look At This Shameless Edition Of THE WASHING MACHINE

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 08:07 AM PDT

(It's... The Case of the Yellow Case!) UK-based distributor Shameless is known for releasing films which tend to be known as "guilty pleasures", films with an above-decent amount of nudity and/or violence. And instead of hiding the sleaze-factor, Shameless often accentuates this in the packaging they use, which is rarely subtle. For example: in the past, they have used lenticular fronts on their releases, and moving the angle of the image a little would reveal a breast, a muzzle flash, an exploding head... Well, a few weeks ago they released a DVD of Ruggero Deodato's sleazy 1993 thriller Mortal Vortex aka. The Washing Machine, in which a woman discovers a corpse in her washing machine. And Shameless did something special. They got Graham Humphries (who...
