We all love our movies dont we? Off course we do I wouldnt have created this blog and you guys wouldnt be here reading this post so we love when filmmakers create a fantastic movie. So after they create that great movie  we antcipate there next movie and hope that they suceed or at equal that sucess and this is the case for Chilean director Pablo Larain. A few years back he brought us the highly sucessful Tony Manero, the serial killer who was inspired by John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever character, so the pressure has been on him but after been selected for this years Venice Film Festival with POST MORTEM.
The movie is set in the backdrop of the 1973 Chilean political uprisings and revolves around Victor a middle aged man who helps out at the local Mortary documenting the bodies that come through there doors. As this is the 1970's Chile it was one certain Facist dictator General Pinochet who overthrew the government in power, sadly his biggest ally was another facist dictator Margaret Thatcher!
We can say Larrain has suceeded himself with this movie, check out the French trailer after the break...

The trailer for BATHORY the movie starring Anna Friel as Countess Elizabeth Bathory also better known as Countess Dracula has been released online .
For over the centuries Bathory has been known as one of Humanity's 'butchers' of people, tortured, mamed, go down of list of barbaric acts your sure to find Bathory had performed them on innocent people they even said she bathed in there blood . Though alot of her background seems to be myth as no history book has been found with evidence, possibly she butchered them all or the story of her just been a urban legend.
To Many Americans Anna Friel she's emembered for Pushing Daises but in UK she'll be remembered as Beth Jordache in British tv's soap Brookside in tvland's first onscreen lesbian kiss!!!
Bathory is directed by Juraj Jakubisko and also stars Vincent Regan, Karel Roden , Antony Byrne and will in UK cinemas from Friday 3rd December, trailer after the break....
