Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.07.14] Canada thriller

We don't usually post featurettes for films but I feel so strongly about the power of Denis Villeneuve's Enemy (review) that I'll seize any opportunity to plug the movie, especially an opportunity like this one in which the director, cinematographer and actors divulge what they interpret the movie to be about.

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.07.14] Republic of Korea post apocalyptic scifi action

At this point, it seems like either a miracle or a dream that Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer is actually opening theatrically. There have been nothing but problems with the movie's release since we learned that The Weinstein Company had plans to cut and edit Joon-ho's movie and for a while there, it looked unlikely we'd be able to see the movie in any form never mind as J...

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.07.14] United Kingdom comedy drama

It's odd how things come together. A while back there was news that Michael Fassbender was in a new black comedy where he plays the titular Frank, a musician who wears a head he never takes off. It seemed weird but it's a movie; strangeness is somewhat expected. So imagine my surprise while watching Filth (which, by the way, is very good) to come across the same head ...

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.06.14] Ireland (Republic of) horror

One of the movies I've been looking forward to since first hearing about it last year is Ivan Kavanagh's The Canal. The psychological thriller stars Rupert Evans as David, a cinema archivist who lives with his wife and their five year old son Billy. [Continue reading]

A katana, a guy in a dress, a wolf... I really don't know what the hell is going on in Till Kleinert's Der Samurai but I'm definitely interested in finding out more. [Continue reading]

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.06.14] horror

A group of friends travel to Panama to reconnect and relax when they meet a local who offers to show them the real Panama. The set-up sounds a whole lot like Aftershock but I'm hoping that director Alastair Orr can deliver a more interesting, and frankly better made, tale of vacations gone wrong. [Continue reading]

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.05.14] United Kingdom apocalyptic

It's not the first time we've seen a really well made public service announcement but it has been a while since one of note has emerged. Though this newly created PSA for Save the Children was designed to raise awareness and funding for Syrian children suffering from the fallout of war, it plays like a really effective apocalyptic short.

The honeymoon. A time of celebration and happiness that is either full of relaxation or sight seeing. For Bea and Paul, honeymoon means spending time alone in a cabin, enjoying a few weeks of peace and quiet before starting their life together. Except when things stop being relaxing.

A musical horror comedy? No, it's not a joke. Stage Fright is a real movie with a plot and stars and kids and killers and music. [Continue reading (1 comment)]



Marina Antunes [Celluloid 03.05.14] horror

The first trailer for Mike Flanagan's Midnight Madness selected Oculus didn't do much to sell me on the movie. I was hopeful the trailer would provide some suggestion as to whether I might find it interesting or simply another forgettable entry into the very busy horror movie release schedule but it didn't do much to convince me either way (that, in and of itself, is ...

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 02.27.14] United Kingdom scifi

An interesting new project is brewing in the UK care of writer/director Mark Aston and Joyrider Films. The short film, titled Pathfinders, sounds (and looks) like a great new entry into the alien invasion canon - or more accurately, the aliens trying to save humanity from itself playbook.

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 02.25.14] Thailand action adventure

I may not have been a big fan of The Protector (I simply couldn't figure out what was going on with the elephant), but the sheer awesomeness of Tony Jaa makes pretty much anything worth seeing. Now Jaa and director Prachya Pinkaew are re-teaming for The Protector 2 and from the looks of it, there are no elephants in this story. [Continue reading (3 comments)]

Breakdown, which stars British Actor Craig Fairbrass (Rise of the Footsoldier), is about as a professional contract killer who is compromised by visions of his violent past. It is currently being shot on location in and around London and Essex.

"Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington stars as Milo, a gladiator with a sad past that includes him watching his entire tribe be butchered by the Romans in Britannia. He's since slaved it out in the arena of the outlying Roman territory before being discovered and sent to Pompeii to entertain the masses. When nearly at the City, he has a chance encounter with Lady Cassi... [Continue reading]

Spanish director Manuel Carballo's English language debut takes place in the modern day but in an alternate reality some three decades after the first zombie outbreak. It's not explained how the first outbreak occurred or where and how it started only that it happened and millions died. Since then, the government has been working to synthesize a vaccine to keep the in... [Continue reading (7 comments)]

Padilha's RoboCop evenly splits its time between the social issues around the idea of what it means to have robots guarding humanity and Alex Murphy's personal struggle as he shifts from human to hybrid. Considering Padilha's previous works, this marriage of message and personal story doesn't come as a surprise. First time screenwriter Joshua Zetumer uses Murphy as a ... [Continue reading]

agentorange [Celluloid 02.12.14] horror thriller mystery

Billed as a "reverse ghost story," the hook of Haunter isn't so much a twist as a great conceptual idea to give us a fresh take on the haunted house genre; one where the story is told from the point of view of a teenage spirit (here, played by Abigail Breslin). When we are introduced to her, she is stuck in a mundane world where everyday plays out in the same routine,... [Continue reading (1 comment)]

Whether or not you watched or cared for The Purge, last year's attempt at horror with a social message, grossed enough money to fund a couple of spinoffs and so here we are, almost exactly a year later with the first look at The Purge: Anarchy. [Continue reading (8 comments)]

We've already seen one trailer for Wally Pfister's sci-fi thriller Transcendence starring Johnny Depp as a brilliant scientists who becomes a Skynet-like intelligence who begins to take over the world. A new trailer has just emerged for the movie which opens in a few months and this one recycles some of the footage from the first while also offering up a new angle of ...

Brick Mansions, the English language remake of Europa Corp.'s successful District 13 series is also the last film that Paul Walker completed before his tragic passing. A little ham-fisted, but in that exploitation way that we all love, Brick Mansions looks like it could be a blast for people not farmilliar with the original series. [Continue reading (2 comments)]

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 02.11.14] United Kingdom comedy thriller

If you caught the early trailer for Richard Ayoade's doppelganger comedy The Double, you likely remember that trailer didn't look particularly funny. With the movie due for North American release in May, there's a new trailer kicking around but it looks like even less of a comedy now than it did before. This trailer plays it seriously. Very, very seriously; a little h... [Continue reading]

We've been eagerly anticipating the release of Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin starring Scarlett Johansson as a man eating alien. Each new trailer has suggested Glazer's follow-up to Birth is a mind bending bit of Kubrick inspired sci-fi and this, the latest and likely final trailer before the movie's release, further cements the notion.

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 02.07.14] comedy

José Padilha's new take on RoboCop, starring (the soon to be household name) Joel Kinnaman as the titular character, is due out next Friday but there hasn't been much buzz about the movie. That said, a few reactions have been emerging online and they all suggest that while Padilha's movie isn't as violent as Paul Verhoeven's original, it's a pretty great new in...

"The After" begins at the moment of the apocalypse. By apparent circumstance, a group of eight strangers are thrown together when the power goes out in a building and thinking they're the only ones affected, they try to break out of an underground parkade. Two make it out only to discover that there's far more wrong with the world than just a simple power outage. [Continue reading (13 comments)]

After The Dark (formerly The Philosophers) takes this idea to its most literal conclusion: literally having philosophy students debate the pros and cons of tough apocalyptic decision making; the big question of the day being "who do we let into the bunker?" And before I go any further, know that these conversations happen all the time in philosophy classes around the ... [Continue reading (1 comment)]
