GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE: SASHA GREY INTERVIEW


 Friday 4th December sees the release of GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE in  UK & Ireleand. Directed by Ocean's 11/12/13 & Informant director Steven Soderbergh it is probably the director's most low budget independent movie to date. Despite been in the more mid-higher term for low budget movie it is following the recent trend of movies with little or no income and been sucessful (but not as successful as Paranormal Activity) or at least good box office sales, a sign of a movie been created with the right man/woman in the director's seat.
The main star of the movie is Sasha Grey an ex-porn star who has trekked over the San Fernando Valley into the glitz and glamour of a mainstream hollywood, which with evidence of the movie she has done quite successfully. Sasha Grey plays a high class Manhattan call girl offering a "Girlfriend experience" to her clients and this movie a slow and deep account of call girl's life though this may not appeal to all .
Screenrush recently caught up with Sasha and had a chat about her new movie and her transition from porn to mainstream acting as well as acting for Steven Soderbergh;

Synopsis:
Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a high-priced $2,000-an-hour call girl in Manhattan, offering a 'girlfriend experience': she'll dress with the client in mind, go to dinner and a movie, listen attentively to talk about work and finances, and she'll provide sex. It's October, 2008: a presidential election nears and the economy is in free fall. She has a boyfriend, Chris (Chris Santos), who's a personal trainer. We are shown five non-consecutive days in Chelsea's life. She's working on her Web page, talking to image consultants, and being interviewed by a reporter. She asks clients when their birthdays are and uses that for an astrological prediction. She's drawn to a new client, a writer from L.A. Should she break her rules for him? What if it risks her relationship with Chris? Should she invest in gold? - IMDB

ne teaser trailer for Jackie Chan's Little Big Soldier


When Jackie Chan followed the yellow brick road to hollywood stardom, his early movies showed good promise and a possible good future ahead. But as his name stayed at the top his choice of movies just sliiped down that slippery slope into total embarrassment. So when a actor who made his name in his nativeland and still has alot of respect and interest in his  or her's country's movie industry they get respect from me and Jackie Chan is one of those actors.

I always have the moto "never forget your roots", it doesnt matter how much you hate or loathe the place you always end up back there one day. In July I visited China for the first time to see my girlfriend and Jackie appeared in many tv advert mostly promoting tea, he was also on  at the cinemas aswell.

So below is the first trailer for his new movie LITTLE BIG SOLDIER which he produced and was directed by new director Shen Ding. The movie is about an old soldier who kidnaps a young army general of a enemy of the state in order to claim his reward as usual you will get the full Jackie Chan old style treatment here, its so good to talk about one of his movies in a serious way rather than it been childish.

the movie will be out in Hong Kong & Malayasia 11 February 2010.

Contact High trailer


I thought I would never here about the day when I would include evil taxi driver, hotdogs and pyschadellic mushrooms in the same sentence well I have and CONTACT HIGH is the reason I had to.

The movie is written and directed by Austrian  Michael Glawogger and this movie is up there with other classic crazy movies that have been made over the years.When I watch the trailer it feels like Fear In Loathing in Las Vegas crossed with The Big Lebowski  crazy stuff. Tell us what you think, watch trailer below...

A comedy of absurd situations and misunderstandings. Hans and Max would like to corner the local hot dog market, whereas Harry would prefer to be pampered by his muscular auto mechanics. But a bag with mysterious contents interrupts everyone's plans, and the group of improbable thieves and gangsters suddenly find themselves in Poland's Drogomysl.- imdb

ONE LAST SUNSET - Trailer

Below is the teaser trailer for the indie horror zombie flick from Kevin Richmond ONE LAST SUNSET. The movie is about 2 sisters find themselves as the only survivors ofan apocalyptic viral outbreak that turns people to flesh-eating monsters. What I like about this trailer (which actually doesnt give much away) is the sound and the montage esque trailer, it gave me a feel of isloation, loneliness and the sense of something truely evil getting closer to you.
If your look for a zombie movie with a slight difference this coul be it

THE DESCENT 2 Exclusive Clip


December 2nd see's the Descent Part 2,the  sequel to the cult British Horror movie from 1995.
Movie one I recently just watched on Film Four and it was a cast of unknown and I have to say Ive not really been a massive of an of British movies recently as the majority of them havent been great but I was impressed. The movie didn't have spectacular success but it did enough to gain a loyal hardcore base of fans as well as impress (and surprise) many movie critics.
Below is an exclusive clip of the movie which is out December 2nd in UK and Ireland and 2010 in the USA. The Descent 2 follows Sarah Carter is suffered a traumatic time in movie 1 seeing her husband and family been killed in a freak car accident  and goes on a all girl caving trip which goes horrifically wrong.  Recovering from the pyschological scars of the trip in a hospital Sarah must go with a rescue team back into the cave and face the horror again, with a few twists thrown in for good measure!

Police, Adjective Trailer


I'll be honest, I would nt have considered looking at Romania for a movie. usually for a indie or foreign movie we have assumption of looking at France, Spain, Italy or Germany or maybe parts of asia,but the trailer for Police Adjective has been posted online.
The movie has been directed and written by Corneliu Porumboiu and is a comedy crime drama about a police officer undercover  who refuses to arrest a young man who sells drugs to his friends. When it comes to comedy, there is certain comedy styles that have a world appeal and others have a appeal that may appeal to a limited audience or countries and I would label this movie under this. It is a dry but quirky comedy which does look like it has alot of smart lines you have to listen for to appreciate the scene.
Even if you dont get the comedy it would be worthwhile to check this movie out  to the number of credits, awards and nominations the movie has picked up during 2009's festival season. 2 awards at Cannes (where it debuted) and a oscar nomination for best foreign movie.
I have no word of an British or Irish release date but on 23 rd december IFC Films will be releasing the movie in a limited cinema release and on VOD (Video on Demand) for USA/Canada.

MAMA GOGO TRAILER




Here is the trailer for Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's new movie Mama Gogo. 

Mamma Gógó is about Gógó, an elderly lady, who is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and her son's and family's reaction to her illness. While Gógó is continuously getting herself into trouble, of the kind only a person with Alzheimer can, the son, the director is struggling with financial troubles after his film Children of Nature has flopped in the cinema. As Gógó's disease progresses her family decides that it is best for her to move to a nursing home. Gógó and her deceased husband, who appears on the scene, are not happy with that decision. The director is dependent on others when it comes to his finances and when Gógó settles into the nursing home he decides to sell his mother's apartment and valuable artwork but the profits of the sale help him to get by. -IMDB 
  Friðriksson seems to headed back to the roots that won him a oscar nomination a while back and I would say the movie itself is based on his own life and how he got that oscar nom. Its amazing what foreigners and a little gold man can do to get you recognition in your own country. If the nod never arrived Icelandics wouldn't have taken notice of his work

Animated Short: Walter Beckett is PIGEON IMPOSSIBLE







You mask yourself is this Tom Cruise's new Mission Impossible movie gone animation? No, this is the animated short of Pigeon Impossible directed by Lucas Martell .
The full short created in CG and now released in its full length in Hi-Def thanks to Youtube. The short like everything these days done the festival circuit and went down very well where ever it was played and I think sometimes instead of the adverts (still include the trailers), little shorts like this be it animated or not would be ideal to be shown in previews before the main movie comes on. This would be great as it would give these talented directors a chance to show their pride and joy to a wider audience though reality cinema's wont budge as they would loose alot of business by leaving out the adverts.
Enjoy the short and why not click on the link to the movies offical website and look at loads of pictures and a behind the scenes diary of the movie as well.

turns up at Daniels home. Suddenly Sonia splits with Daniel and fingers pointat Sonia as if the man's arrival was a ploy of hers but long after she's gone the man still harrasses Daniel. Questions are now asked who this man is and why he's really here?

La Bella Gente (The Beautiful People)

Here is the first trailer for La Bella Gente or Beautiful People directed by Ivano De Matteo. The movie centers around a couple who pick up a young Ukrainian Prostitute on the side of the road and they take the girl home and try and try to re-habilitate her. Things go pearshaped whe the couples son arrives home and he becomes fatuiated with her. Things look like its going to be a big happy ending but looking deep into the movie its more a question of lifes morality and trying to do good and the price they pay in trying.
This is De Matteo's debut movie and like many good new movies its doing its rounds in the festivals network. The trailer howver doesnt give much of the story away, anyway enjoy....

Jessica Hausner's Lourdes trailer


One great thing I like about Film Festivals is the fact there is many movies that make the premiere and sometimes only appearance in that particular country. Lourdes seems to be one of those movies that seems to float around the world's main festivals and rarely see's a film run in a cinema apart from the movies origin.

Lourdes is a low key drama with some comedy moments about Christine (Sylvie Testud) a wheelchair bound woman  who goes to Lourdes, France on a pilgramage. She's not really looking for a cure but more company and friendship to cure her of her isolation.

Some people may find the movie hard to understand due to the deepness and special bond Lourdes has for many people worldwide but director/wroter Jessica Hausner
does seem to find the right balancefor the movie by not overstepping the mark, just have to look at the accolades the movie has picked up in the festivals.

ISLAND OF VAMPIRES (HIGANJIMA) Trailer






Oh we love our manga comics and Animes at Cinehouse UK and I was chuffed to see this one popped online, the trailer for Higanjima (Island of Vampires).
This movie is an adaptation of the popular Japanese comic book of the same name which centres around a student Saki who goes searching for his brother who has mysteriously dissappeared and her search leads to the mysterios island of Higanjima with a village populated with vampires.
When you watch the trailer you've got to laugh at some of the makeup but it does make up with the scary(ish) vampires but awesome trailer. Manga is pure fantasy with a lots of over the tops items in it, but that makes me want to see more and more and did I say more?
Warner Bros is releasing this in Japan, Hands up if this does really well in its native country will we see it he? or at least a bad waterdown Hollywood (F)muckup?? My arm is getting sore, watch the trailer.......


Higanjima is an eerie island occupied by vampires, from where none has ever come back alive. When teenager Akira hears that his missing brother has been seen in the island, he decides to investigate with several friends - IMDB.

Woke Trailer

When people complain about little things in life they cant have, why not think for a minute at those who cant have those little things you moan about or even cant enjoy them properly. Narcolepsy is one thing you dont want, its a condition you never know when you can fall asleep, In WOKE Scoot our lead male character has this condition.

Woke is a story about Scot (Chris Gaede) a narcolepic man and a Nora (Caroline Macey) a woman sent to to take Scott to his childhood home and during the adventure they have getting there the couples relationship blossoms and becomes romantic. This is a simple but beautiful little looking movie which is simple with a twist of mystery and oddness thrown in for good measure

Shake Hands With A Devil Trailer



After nearly 3 years on hold Shake Hands With The Devil will finally get an American release in 2010 and here's the trailer thanks to Firstshowing.
It was a way back in 2007 when this movie first came out at the Toronto Film Festival which followed with a cinema release in Canada itself, but thanks to Regent Releasing its getting a American release (no info on a British/Irish release yet). Movie Stars French-Canadian star Roy Dupuis (Jean-Paul Mercier in Mersine:Killer Instinct) as Général Roméo Dallaire whom the movie is based on, his autobiography of his time in Rawanda during the country's genocide killing in 1994. The movie also has Deborah Kara Unger (Silent Hill, Crash) as Emma a journalist who records General Dallaire's phlight in Rawanda. If you are old enough or can remember 1994 no matter what part of the world who come from it was a tragic and disturbing event which shouldn't have happened simply due to the west arrogance not to get involved more.
This movies story is one people should know about and like any world conflict should learn about it and make sure nothing like this should happen again. The movie has got stunning cinematography and 2 very good actors, so the movie should be checked out.
Shake Hands With The Devil is dorected by Roger Spottiswoode
(Under Fire, Tomorrow Never Dies, Turner & Hooch, The 6th Day) and written for the Big screen by Michael Donovan .
Synopsis IMDB -
Canadian Lt. General Romeo Dallaire was the military commander of the UN mission in Rwanda and this movie is personal and, all too true, story of his time there during the genocide of 1994. It is not quite as moving as the earlier Hotel Rwanda and is less geared to drama and emotional manipulation, but it is still grim and upsetting. The direction is slightly surreal and the acting is quite good, though I found Dupuis to be just a little too wooden (just a little over that line between stoic and wooden) in the lead role. It suffers a little from being virtually a one man show, with Dupuis lead character being the focus of virtually every scene but there is no denying the power and importance of this film.

Romeo Dallaire is a very brave, and equally honest, man and that is really what makes this film work. He is not afraid to show his human emotions and frailties, and this makes his courageous effort to save lives during The Rwandan genocide, at no small personal risk, all that more impressive. This film carefully documents the beginnings of the atrocity and fearlessly lays blame. Dallaires helplessness is enveloping and we feel his frustration in the face of ever-increasing shortages of men and equipment.

Digg!

Welcome to the world of PAA, The Story of a 13 year old boy who has rare condition the accelerates his ageing and he looks at least in late 60's. Paa is played by Bollywood superstar Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan plays Paa's Father Auro.
When you read the synopsis, look at the offical movie website  or just simply watch the trailer below the story of this movie is enough to bring a tear to your eye and have Hollywood knocking on the door of the movie's workaholic director R. Balki "Give us that movie!!" (and probably destroy the goodness of the movie).

Teaser Trailer for (Кандагар) Kanadahar



Digg!



Russia these days seems to be making a name for itself with big budget sci-fi/fantasy/horror blockbusters such as Nightwatch and Daywatch. Its also nice to see that they can make real drama movies as well and here is a teaser trailer for on of them, Kandahar (Кандагар).

Based on a true story about seven Russian pilots (only five in the movie) who in 1985 had their plane hijacked by the Taliban in Afghanistan. There captors imprisoned the men for over a year and subjected them to torture,brutality, starvation and even attempts to convert the pilots to Islam. Somehow the pilots where able to neutralize the Taliban captors and escaped on there aircraft.

To make the movie as authentic and true to the story the filmmakers invited Vladimir Sharpatov, the captain of the crew, and used his diares and memories in the movie.

Director of Kandahar is Andrey Kavun, with Vladimir Mashkov, who stars in this movie. Kandahar opens in Russian Cinemas on 4th February, 2010.

Ulrich Tukur Interview: Michael Haneke's A White Ribbon


Friday saw the release of Michael Haneke's movie A White Ribbon (Das weisse Band - Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte). This is a movie about strange events happen in a small village in the north of Germany during the years just before World War I, which seem to be ritual punishment. The abused and suppressed children of the villagers seem to be at the heart of this mystery.
The movie touches very sensitive subject of child abuse which may not appeal to everyone but we cannot hide from the fact that sadly abuse to children still happens all around the world. If you include abuse in a movie or a book it has to be handled in a way to alert the reader/or viewer such things happen but dont do it in a way to disgust.
Ulrich Tukur is a star of the movie and Screenrush recently caught up with the actor on a promotional tour for the movie and here's the interview:

Monster frolics in the air with ALTITUDE


We all love our monster flicks, oh yes! so lets picture a group of young adults, who go up in a small general aviation plane and for a little flight. They ecounter some dark storm clouds but what they dont realise is there's nice nasty monster lurking in those clouds, like a giant flying octopus. If you look very closely at the end of the trailer you get a quick glimpse of the nasty pant-filling beast, oh boy it's big one!!!

Altitude is an indie horror flick directed by Kaare Andrews who has done a load of shorts recently, this movie doesnt really have any known actors in it so I think this maybe a straight to DVD in UK & Ireland sometime in 2010.

Thanks to Firstshowing for the trailer.

Fever Night Trailer - Mighty Boosh Satanic style ?















When its comes weird and wonderful and very experimental everyone at Cinehouse goes crazy with excite of seeing something very different and Fever Night is most certainly different. Think very low budget Mind F**k on a acid trip and as one comment said at QuietEarth "It's like a Satanic Mighty Boosh" now that would be very exciting to see!!! Watch the trailer and tell us what you think:
QuietEarth | Offical Website

Synopsis:

Terry loves Elliot. Warren loves Terry and Elliot. Elliot loves Elliot. He used to love Terry. And when Warren decides to invite Elliot along on Terry’s Satanic ritual outing, all hell breaks loose.

Now they’re lost. Terry’s unconcious. Their car won’t start. So, when Elliot and Warren see an omnipotent light, they gotta get there - but Terry must have been dragged off or something, so they have to go find her and bring her dead ass back to the goddamn car ‘cause the light’s too far to carry her.

Along the way, they encounter the frightful and ghoulish reckonings of their night’s work: Terry is neither dead nor alive, crows seem to be exploding without the aid of Alka-Seltzer, and Satan might be on hard drugs.

Can Elliot and Warren trudge the bowels of Hell to the Light of Salvation, or will they succumb to their most Satanic desires?  - From Offical Website

GOD LAND Teaser Trailer


Queit Earth have today posted this gorgeous minimal teaser trailer for GOD LAND. 
This movie has been written and directed by Aspen Michael Taylor and his movie suggests that its set in possibly a "heavenly land" and watching the trailer it does sort of back it up. Though reading the synopsis from IDMB (see below) it looks more of  a tale od survival of 2 brothers during a post disaster struggling with no food, shelter just sheer emptiness for company.
The movie is in post production and Quiet Earth asre hoping to have a full trailer very soon.

The effects of a devastating storm have left two young brothers, 16 year old Abel and five year old Noah, stranded where they are forced to wander a beautiful wasteland.

This is an excellent sci-fi short which was posted online by the good people at QUIETEARTH.

This short movie hails from Montevideo in Uruguay and comes from FX /commerical director Fede Alvarez and I agree with Quietearth this is one hell of a cool short sci fi movie.

Think big mechanical warrior robots (or meccha as they like to be called in Japan), foggy surroundings and in the backdrop the cool God Speed My Black Emperor music playing  as in ala 28 days later music, enjoy!

LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME Trailer


Remember the days when you begged your mum to let you stay up a hour later than you usually do or when it was essential you got home to see your favourite tv programme or even when you dad let you get a sip of his beer? Those where the best times of your childhood.
So what if your friend the girl (or boy) who was your best friend when you where young was to return for your high school 10 year reunion and you reunite once again? LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME sees childhood friends Todd and Allison meet once again and as their friendship reunites with old times it develops into a romance. During their time they must ask if their romance can go to next level, do they have a future and where to have that future.
Below is the trailer for the movie and Im glad the trailer does show that romance doesn't always have that fairytale type ending or momments, life is cruel and boy dont we know it. Looking at the trailer this does have a little twist. mmmm?

It's never too late to relive your childhood, at least that's what two former childhood friends set out to do after they reunite at their ten year high school reunion. Todd (the boy that stayed) and Allison (the girl that left) are struggling with the harsh realities of adulthood and a return to their youth seems like the perfect escape. Unfortunately, it's really about time they grow up. Or is it? Allison's old childhood home is for rent. (- IMDB)

Killer Inside Me Promo Trailer


This is the promo trailer for KILLER INSIDE ME an adaptation of the classic pulp fiction novel of the same name by Jim Thomson.
The movie is directed by Michael Winterbottom and stars Casey Affleck as the charming, unassuming small town sheriff's deputy Lou Ford. who has a lot of problems with women (Jessica Alba , Kate Hudson ). It's also problems with law enforcement and a ever increasing pile of murder victims in his area, it was just the matter of time this sadistic, killing pyschopath would run out of alibi's and suspicion will point in his direction.
The trailer is 6 minutes long and I have to warn you, its a big SPOILER! It is a beautifully shot movie, very sleek and chiq and also shows the strength's of Casey Afflecks acting ability. The movie also stars; Simon Baker, (The Mentalist), Elias Kosteas, Bill Pullman and  Ned Beatty . THE KILLER INSIDE ME  will be in Cinema's 2010.

Kill Daddy Tonight (Das Vaterspiel) Trailer







I always like to say in certain circumstances "It's Good to be different" and stay away from the normality or generic stylings and you can say Michael Glawogger likes to be different and his latest movie Kill Daddy Tonight is certainly different.
This is a stylish black comedy that looks at the generation gap that is effecting many countries and this movie is only a few weeks away from general release in German cinema's... November 26th.

"The story and fate of three families: A Jewish family destroyed by the massacres of the Nazis in Lithuania; the family of the culprit, who flew to America and keeps grotesque family cohesion; the family of Ratz, a social democratic family, dissolving itself miserably in today's Vienna. The condemnation of the last century bundled in these three families showing clearly that one could never escape from its own past."

Phasma Ex Machina



Anyone who knows me, knows that I love anything to do with ghosts and the afterlife/supernatural. I found this interesting trailer for a  American  indie ghost/supernatural  story Phasma Ex Machina on TwitchFilm.

Written and directed by Matt Osterman and is a story about a man who is an engineer who creates a machine that the living world with the spiritworld with some unearthy results. I really like the look of this movie, with it been a independent movie it actually gives it a more darker creepier edge to it, more realism than say if it been a major hollywood production. Its always great to see a popular genre taking a fresh approach not full of cheesy over the top hollywood theatrics, at times you dont actually feel you are watching a sci-fi/supernatural movie.

The movie is nearing completion and below you will find the trailer and the stylish opening credits.



"What would you do to bring someone back? How far would you go? Phasma Ex Machina explores the grey area between life and death and how science may be the bridge between the two. A young man named Cody, tasked with raising his younger brother James after the death of their parents, plunges himself into the murky science of the supernatural. Ignoring his responsibilities as a caretaker, Cody invents a machine he intends to be a conduit to the other side. In his pursuit to build the device he befriends an affable electrical engineer named Tom who has his own tale of love and loss. Cody eventually reaches an unintended level of success that not only threatens his safety, but also the well-being of James and Tom. He quickly learns that the supernatural isn’t all that super and human nature can even be worse.
Phasma Ex Machina is a testament to what can be accomplished with a great idea, smart production priorities, and talented individuals all working toward one common goal."
