We have the first trailer for an upcoming Aussie sci-fi flick called Terminus. It is the debut feature film of writer/director Marc Furmie, who cut his teeth in commercials and music videos. The film stars Jai Koutrae, Todd Lasance, Kendra Appleton and Bren Foster, and is set for release in 2015. Though it was filmed around Australia, the setting is a small American town. Terminus is the second feature film for Storm Vision Entertainment.

New York 2014 Review: GONE GIRL, Meticulously Crafted And Unabashedly Trashy

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 12:00 AM PDT

Gone Girl, David Fincher's latest, and New York Film Festival opener, based on the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn, begins with a close-up of its central married couple, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike). Nick is gently stroking Amy's hair, while in a voiceover, he speaks of "cracking her skull open" so he can know what she is thinking and be privy to all her secrets. This rather violent description of Nick's is one that neatly encapsulates the caustic view of marriage, and especially themes concerning the facets of themselves that intimate partners keep hidden from their significant others which resonate throughout Gone Girl. After we hear Nick say this, Amy, who up till then has had her head turned, suddenly looks...

Watch The Trailer For P.T. Anderson's INHERENT VICE

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 06:30 PM PDT

With just under a week before its bow at the New York Film Festival, Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's adaption of the Thomas Pynchon novel Inherent Vice. And it is glorious... gloriously colorful, weird and very, very funny.Joaquin Phoenix stars in this sun-soaked noir as Doc, who gets caught up in the disappearance of a billionaire. It's also the late 1960s so things are most certainly batshit crazy. Like... do you want to see a military clean-cut Josh Brolin bark orders in Japanese to a chef about pancake-os? Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short and Owen Wilson also appear, and they're also weird. And really, while Phoenix is the star, I have a sneaking suspicion his muttonchops are gonna steal...

Review: JIMI: ALL IS BY MY SIDE, A Momentously Audacious Musical Biopic

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Making a movie about a musician is bound to be extremely difficult when you don't have the permission of the family's estate. Why has there never been a definitive Elvis biopic -- or Kurt Cobain either, for that matter? Because what would be the point if you couldn't secure the rights to any of the music needed to tell these musical superheroes' origin stories? John Ridley tackles these questions head on with his Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side, which doesn't feature a single lick of original Jimi arrangements. The answer: a resounding "it doesn't matter." Jimi: All Is By My Side is a captivating tale of one of rock 'n' roll's most enigmatic men, told with beautiful and audacious style. Focusing...

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: THE STRANGER Delivers A Mixed Bag

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 08:01 AM PDT

Directed by Guillermo Amoedo and executive produced by Eli Roth and Nicolas Lopez (who collaborated on Aftershock, The Green Inferno, and next year's home invasion thriller Knock, Knock with Keanu Reeves), The Stranger is a vampire film that doesn't scream that it's a vampire film. In fact, it's very similar to the best parts of Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. Cristobal Tapia Montt stars as the titular brooding stranger Martin, who appears at the house of Monica (Alessandra Guerzoni), a mostly irate nurse, and her son Peter (Nicolas Duran), a nice young kid. Martin inquires as to the whereabouts of his ex-lover Ana, and upon being pointed to the cemetery, harbors a severe death wish after learning that Ana has died. Morose and still as a...

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: V/H/S VIRAL Catches On

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 07:00 AM PDT

V/H/S brought us stories from Ti West, Adam Wingard, Glen McQuaid, and Joe Swanberg, among others. V/H/S 2 gave us far superior films from Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto, Gregg Hale and Eduardo Sanchez, Jason Eisener, Simon Barrett, and Adam Wingard (again). For the third entry of the franchise, V/H/S Viral delivers another mixed bag, with entries from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead, Marcel Sarmiento, Nacho Vigalondo, Gregg Bishop, and Todd Lincoln, whose segment "Gorgeous Vortex" was cut from the film for mysterious reasons. The series' most challenging aspect remains its wrap-around segments, which serve to loosely link the stories together. For an anthology, one would assume that these would be among the strongest in the film; sadly, that's not the case. "Vicious Circles" features...
