It's A Good, Old Fashioned STARE DOWN

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 02:30 PM PDT

Since we last heard from Australian YouTube prankster Michael Shanks, the young talent has been hired on to direct music videos for Guy Pearce - really, see one here - but happily his time spent singing movie stars has not kept the director of Time Trap and other oddities from continuing down his odd little path.And here's his latest micro-opus, an Old West showdown that knows full well the power of an intimidating stare. Check it out below....

Keshales And Papushado To Remake Johnnie To's VENGEANCE

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 02:00 PM PDT

The Big Bad Wolves boys are coming to Hollywood, word breaking today that Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado - the Israeli duo behind Rabies and Big Bad Wolves - have signed on to direct a remake of Johnnie To's Vengeance. And, honestly, if you're going to remake a Johnnie To film, this is a pretty good one to pick given that the story of a French chef with a past traveling to Hong Kong to exact revenge on the people responsible for the killing of his family has a fantastic premise and flashes of To's signature style while also being severely hampered by a poor central performance from French singer Johnny Hallyday in the lead role. There's room to improve here, basically, where if you...

Warsaw 2014 Review: DISCONCERTO, An Uninspired and Lengthy Sequel To A Charming Odd-Couple Comedy

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 12:00 PM PDT

Centering on the adventures of Japan's original odd couple, Omori Tatsushi's 2011 comedy-drama Tada's Do-It-All House proved to be a hit in its home country, winning the heart of Japanese audiences thanks to an imaginative story of Tada (Eita), the titular 'Mr. Do-it-all', who teams up with a former classmate Gyoten (Matsuda Ryuhei) in order to serve the people of a fictional district of Tokyo called Mahoro. It's also worth mentioning that the picture secured an impressive 4th place on Kinema Jumpo's (one of premiere Japanese film magazines) list of best local films of 2011.Regrettably, the sequel has little of the gently persuasive energy that permeates its predecessor. Disconcerto (literal title is definitely clearer: 'Rhapsody in front of Mahoro Station') is an almost perfect example...

Review: HOUSEBOUND Merrily Chops Its Way Through Horror-Movie Tropes

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 11:01 AM PDT

If looks could kill, Kylie would be on death row. In Gerard Johnstone's deadpan, diabolical, and haunted thriller Housebound, Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) is an angry, insolent young woman, full of piss and vinegar, so when she's convicted of a crime and sentenced to eight months of detention in the home of her mother, Miriam (Rima Te Wiata), it feels like life imprisonment to her. Kylie resists any impulse to act in a civil manner toward Miriam or her stepfather Graeme (Ross Harper), and is hostile in her court-ordered sessions with psychiatrist Dennis (Cameron Rhodes). Kylie's attitude hardens when she learns that Miriam has long felt that the family home is haunted, an idea that the young woman dismisses out of hand. Miriam, after all, chatters...

Busan 2014 Review: Peter Chan's DEAREST Devastates

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT

Based on multiple true story accounts of child abduction in mainland China, Peter Chan's latest film Dearest is definitely not an easy watch. It follows a divorced couple in Shenzhen, the father Tian Wenjun (comedic actor Huang Bo) and mother Lu Xiaojuan (Hao Lei) who have different days of custody over their son Tian Peng. The father works in a slummy district in a modest market stall while his ex-wife, now remarried is taken care of by her wealthy husband. One day Peng plays with the local children in the market. He is distracted by his mother's car and runs after her; he separates from the children and is suddenly and shockingly snatched by a faceless stranger. What follows is heartbreak after heartbreak as Tian...

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 09:30 AM PDT

When we last heard from Portuguese director Jeronimo Rocha it was on the heels of his scifi horror short film Dedalo, a project which initially grew out of a film festival ident spot and continues to grow with Rocha currently developing a feature film version. Is the same destined to happen for The Mansion?An animated short Rocha directed as a bumper for the Film4 Frightfest in London, The Mansion is now being expanded into a short titled Macabre which will, in turn, launch a mini series of three or four animated shorts to launch later this year. Something to look forward to? That'd be a big hell, yes if things turn out as well as this! Enter The Mansion below! And, what the hell ......

Review: THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA, Delightful For Children And Adults Alike

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT

Director Takahata Isao's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a 10th century Japanese folk story which, despite some minor changes and an added love interest, is followed faithfully here. An old bamboo cutter, Okina is walking in the woods when he comes across a shoot of bamboo that springs from the ground. Within the shoot is a tiny girl whom he takes home to his wife. Recognizing the girl as a gift from the gods, the childless couple agree to raise her as their own, at which point she morphs into a real baby, to the shock of the old man. The old woman, Ouna, takes this metamorphosis in her stride. She's also fairly relaxed about the amusing change to her own body that...

Review: CAMP X-RAY, Kristen Stewart Provides The Right Mix

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 08:01 AM PDT

I was busy processing the ending of Camp X-Ray, a film about a soldier relating to prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, when I saw the credit "Executive Produced by David Gordon Green." It's hard to say just what effect this great filmmaker had on Peter Sattler's film, but it did lead me to think a little harder about it than I might have otherwise. And I've concluded it just might be a very good film, almost a great one, if you buy one thing: its protagonist is an idiot. Now, this will be a bit spoilery, but you'll forgive me, as the ending of the film may either ruin it or make it something kind of great. Before we get to that, let me state unequivocally...
