Marina Antunes [Film Festival 02.06.12] drama

When you know little about a production and don't recognize any of the names involved, a trailer can be a huge selling point for would-be fans. Trailers are often deceptive, building up a movie that ends up a complete disappointment but in some instances, the trailers don't do enough to sell a project. That's most definitely the case with the trailer for Tim Sutton's ... [Continue reading]

Marina Antunes [Film Festival 02.06.12] drama

It never ceases to amaze me the excuses people come up with to explain perfectly explainable situations. Some are more ludicrous than others but nothing quite beats immaculate conception to explain pregnancy. Generally these stories are handled with a touch of comedy and the would-be mother is ridiculed for her crazy idea but Rebecca Thomas' debut (and Kickstarter pro... [Continue reading]

A woman wakes up one morning to find herself trapped behind an invisible wall with only a dog, a cat, and a cow. Based on the best selling novel by Marlen Haushofer which has been translated into 17 languages, the story seems to revolve around themes of emancipation and social criticism. All that side, we reported on this 3 years ago and have been eagerly awaiting it ... [Continue reading]

Set in a future, communist America, Patriot Act may look heavy on the green screen but it's also heavy on the style. And yes, the title is utterly horrendous. Written and directed by Wayne Slaten, the film has no release date. [Continue reading]

My intuition says there's something profound about this film beyond it's obvious statement about society. The first feature from Jan Speckenbach revolves around a father trying to find his daughter who vanished. He follows her and many other childrens trail across the country .. but the world has changed. About to have it's premier at Berlinale, the teaser just droppe... [Continue reading]

Ryan Reynolds proved he's got acting chops in Buried, a thrilling film that took place entirely in a coffin. Well, now it looks like Stephen Dorff wants in on some of those sweet accolades having hedged his bets on his own one-man show, the close quarters Brake. [Continue reading]

Filled with gratuitous bare male chests, Osombie full-fills a fantasy for many of us. No, not that one, I mean killing m*therf***ing bin laden again. We reported on this a couple of months so here's the description again: osama has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. Notice I didn't use the word "insurgent". Osombie is packed wit... [Continue reading]

If Wes Anderson had some balls he might have made a film like Funeral Kings, a coming-of-ager that looks to have equal parts bark and bite, comedy and drama. It also stars Kevin Corrigan as a guy who knows what pu**y feels like, so we're in. [Continue reading]

The term "empathy" comes to mind while going over the synopses which reads as combination of metaphorical hara-kiri and the rehabilitation of the soul via artificial intelligence. This Korean omnibus (initially set to include another story which got cancelled due to financing) comprises 3 stories, two of which reportedly have androids while the other is about a zombie...

It's easy to say that perseverance pays off but actually sticking with something until you've achieved your goal isn't nearly as easy and more often than not, it ends with disappointment. The team behind Comforting Skin were in that exact situation ten years ago when their first attempt at shooting the film fell apart days into filming. They were determined to see it ...

I initially passed this by as it's been reported all over today, but after seeing the pile of dead bodies in the trailer, I'm in. There's some hint of The Signal in here as a comet comes and people become disoriented and violent but bigger yet, the tentacles in the terrible poster and one short clip in the trailer hint at HP Lovecraft.

When Bob Doto reviewed Spork a few years ago, he coined the term "bitpunk" to explain the new ground being broken by J.B. Ghuman Jr.'s quirky tale of a girl with boy bits who finds her stride in the cruel high-school landscape by dancing her little heart out. I can certainly appreciate and even agree with the term Doto puts forth but I can't get behind the film in qui... [Continue reading]

There's a specific type of psychological thriller, the ones which include creepy mental institutions and unstable individuals but rarely do these turn out. It's almost as if "almost crazy" doesn't come across well on the screen. Dream House looked like it may get it right: a high pedigree cast including Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts and Elias Koteas and Jim ... [Continue reading]

There's no question that the world is full of people who seem, not just content, but downright determined, to be assholes. You've seen them. They act out in movie theatres just to be funny. They park their pick-up trucks in two spots because they're arrogant douchebags and they're totally happy to be. You hate these people. I hate these people. Bobcat Goldthwait wants...
