Posted: 27 Sep 2012 07:30 PM PDT

Skyfall, Sam Mendes' forthcoming Bond flick, is opening a day early in IMAX theaters according to The Hollywood Reporter.While this won't be a "proper", shot-on-IMAX 15perf/70mm presentation, it'll still likely look pretty darned fine scaled up from the original digital master and projected on that giant screen.With the regular opening scheduled for November 9th, fans of IMAX upconverts can check out the screening on November 8th, 2012...

Fantastic Fest 2012 Review: RED DAWN is Young, Dumb and Full of Commies

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 07:00 PM PDT

Dan Bradley's directorial debut resurrects xenophobic fears that all Asians are scary Communists hell-bent on world domination (and the notion that they all look the same) in his lame duck remake to John Milius' 80s original. A victim of MGM filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Bradley's reworking of the Brat Pack-era action flick Red Dawn has been sitting unreleased for more than two years, during which time it has also undergone an extensive overhaul. When China's State-run media published on-set photos of the film, depicting a Chinese invasion of the USA, Red Dawn was branded a hostile attack on China, intent on spreading distrust of the world's richest nation among the American public. Instead of ignoring these ridiculous accusations, the film's producers leapt into action,...

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 05:00 PM PDT

Srini, a young successful architect, becomes horribly disfigured along one side of his face when he gets into a car accident. His girlfriend leaves him and Srini spirals into a state of self loathing. But one night he comes upon Ragini, a beautiful, yet mysterious woman, who sees past his physical scarring and they fall in love.

The novel was previously adapted to film back in...

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 04:30 PM PDT

You may not know his name, but Jeffrey Schwarz is probably one of the most interesting documentary filmmakers around these days. Schwarz and his company, Automat Films, are behind some of the most fun, entertaining, and engrossing documentaries of the last decade. Automat cut its teeth creating bonus material for DVD in the early 2000's, mainly with Schwarz in the director's chair. In fact, if you dare to peek at his IMDB page, he's got well over 100 titles to his credit. However, interspersed within those films are a few stand-alone features documentaries that are well worth seeking out.Now, the director of Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story, Vito, and Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon needs your help. Schwarz and company have embarked upon creating...

Festival Du Nouveau Cinema: Temps Ø Announces Lineup!

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 04:00 PM PDT

The Temps Ø lineup, part of the Festival Du Nouveau Cinema in Montreal, is always one to watch out for. It features a wide array of styles, disciplines and degrees of cinematic extremities. What immediately caught our eye was the opening event ANA. Described to as an "Intense live video performance (Live remix of AMER) by Ouananiche" it will have it's North-Amercan Premiere at the festival. The write-up on the Temps Ø website describes this as, "A dark, unpredictable and immersive half-hour, this hallucinogenic performance delves into the intimate relations between image and sound, spiralling down into the schizophrenic sensations, phantasmagoric desires and subliminal reminiscences of a disturbed woman."The rest of the films in the lineup are also impressive... Hosada Mamoru's WOLF CHILDREN (Canadian Premiere)...

Fantastic Fest 2012 Review: CRAVE Fails To Satisfy

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 03:30 PM PDT

Crave is the feature debut of Charles de Lauzirika, a man best (un)known for directing/producing DVD special features. So what, you say? Sew buttons on a dead hobo's suit! You know you love yourself some special features, and Charles is responsible for some quality content on many a quality disc. Hell, his Alien 3 featurettes might be better than the film itself. But does this qualify him to tell a more complex story? The story being that of a crime scene shutterbug named Aiden who becomes increasingly more detached from reality? A tragi-comic character study full of pitch black humor? An unlikely romance with moments of extreme discomfort? A story full of emotion and nuance and gray morality? Because that's the delicate balancing act this...

Look, sir, Dwarves. THE HOBBIT Poster Makes Its Debut

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 03:01 PM PDT

There's something mildly satisfying about seeing a heap of dwarves on a poster. It reminds me of that scene in E.T. where the titular character hides in a giant pile of stuffed animals.At any rate, the poster should certainly be eye catching when walking through your local theatre lobby, and will remind audiences well prepared for another dark entry to the tale of Middle Earth that there's a great deal of silliness and broad comedy we're to expect from these two, erm, three entries.The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens hits theatres on December 14, 2012...

Over The Top Teaser For Malaysian Horror PENANGGAL

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:30 PM PDT

Upcoming Malaysian horror effort Penanggal is big! It's terrifying! It's dramatic! And we know this because it's got MUSIC! But the thing is, once you get over the wildly over the top presentation the footage actually looks reasonably good as well. A naïve girl inadvertently inherits the penanggal curse from her guardian and wants desperately to be rid of it, until she starts tasting the power the penanggal accords to her, an otherwise ugly and simple girl with no chance at love or power in her life.For the uninitiated, the penanggal myth is a sort of Faustian trade off in which a young woman obtains beauty or power through the use of black magic but, in return, becomes cursed. There are many variants out there...

Review: HEADSHOT Injects New Blood Into a Noir-ish Thriller

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:00 PM PDT

Pen-ek Ratanaruang's Headshot is an antithetical thriller that easily morphs into a subdued, slate-grey crime noir. With a striking sense of ease and control, Ratanaruang steers his eighth feature through the paces of political, police and underworld manipulations, allowing it to nearly float to its uninhibited conclusion. Returning to the atmosphere of his 1999 film 6ixtynin9, Headshot looks down the short barrel of a pistol and displays a languid mood to a rich narrative that works just slightly outside of the box, albeit with ample bloodletting. Tul is a hitman, or as his boss prefers, an "expert assassin." The film opens with a mysterious man at a typewriter preparing information on a political target. Tul picks up the instructions, and, in the first of many...

Opening: LOOPER Sets the Time-Travel Bar High

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 01:01 PM PDT

Rian Johnson's highly-praised time-travel action picture Looper, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, opens across the world on Friday, September 28. Gordon-Levitt stars as a Mob assassin in the year 2044; Willis plays his future self. Our critical reactions have been extremely positive. First out of the gate, Jason Gorber provided his brief thoughts in advance of the film's debut as the opening night presentation of the Toronto International Film Festival: "Accessible to a general audience while still having moments that will warm any film geek's heart, this is the kind of genre film that elevates the form. With feigned effortlessness, the filmmakers have managed to mess around with a pile of tired tropes and clichés, coming out in the end with something that feels...

Mutant Samurai Warriors In Trailer For Steven Sheil's DEAD MINE

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 12:00 PM PDT

Director Steven Sheil created quite a stir with his debut feature Mum & Dad, a low budget affair that proved the UK based director could accomplish rather a lot with just a little. For his second effort Sheil packed up and headed to Indonesia for Dead Mine, an action-horror effort with an international cast that includes The Raid and Fast Six star Joe Taslim and Guilty Of Romance's Miki Mizuno. The project was backed locally by HBO Asia and with their release window coming up the network has released the first action packed trailer for the film. Are those samurai warriors the result of a World War II chemical weapons program? Why yes, yes they are....

"Yeonghwa: Korean Film Today" Review: Kim Kyung-mook's STATELESS THINGS

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 11:01 AM PDT

Kim Kyung-mook's astonishing, cleverly constructed, formally and thematically audacious Stateless Things is a major highlight of this year's edition of "Yeonghwa: Korean Film Today," screening at the Museum of Modern Art through September 30. This is a penetrating, provocative look at the marginalized and disenfranchised of Seoul, focusing in particular on two sets of groups outside the mainstream of society: illegal immigrants (especially North Korean refugees) and gays. Kim posits the idea that both these groups suffer equally as "stateless things," restless, homeless souls treated by others with power over them as objects and playthings, rather than human beings deserving of dignity. Stateless Things is divided into three sections, each with very distinct visual schemes. Kim's background as a documentarian is evident in the verité-like style...

Nic Cage To Lawyer Up With Richard Kelly

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 10:01 AM PDT

Nicolas Cage is at a point in his career where he could still pull out an Adaptation or Bad Lieutenant but seems far more likely to keep making a string of movies like Bangkok Dangerous, with the occasional Knowing thrown into the mix to keep him bankable. Cage will next team with Richard Kelly (of Donnie Darko, Southland Tales, and The Box) on a film based on a true life crime story that seems lifted from the pages of a Coen Brothers script. Cage will play First Amendment attorney Rodney A. Smolla; the story is based on his book "Deliberate Intent: A Lawyer Tells the True Story of Murder by the Book." Here's the lengthy synopsis from Amazon: Early in 1992, Lawrence Horn hired a contract killer to execute his...

Review: MY 3D SEX JOURNEY: DUE WEST Is Snappy, Sexy And Sketchy

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 09:06 AM PDT

Frankie (Justin Cheung) is a seriously horny teenager. Brought up in a strict middle class family, he turns to his "sex mentor" Jing (Gregory Wong), who initiates him in the world of smut and lurid behaviour. With the help of Jing, Frankie faces all sorts of embarrassing and hilarious moments, inextricably forcing him to study in the UK, which leads into his young adulthood and eventually a career back in Hong Kong.He gets into a pretty serious relationship with Zeta (Celia Kwok), who to say the least has intimacy issues of her own that do not fully satisfy Frankie.
