Musical Terrorism For Our Ears - Trailer For SOUND OF NOISE

1 comment:
Source TWITCH
"The Hills Are Alive With Sound Music...dahhhhhh!!!" when you think of music in movies Julie Andrews in the sound of music is a movie that comes to mind, but what if that movie isnt a musical but its musical based? You might be saying "wtf!?"
So what if you mixed up the London west end musical of Stomp with terrorists and a heist movie and what do we get?.....SOUND OF NOISE
When your going to hold up a bank for ransom do what stomp do use whatever is around you as a musical instrument and given your hostages a little musical rendition to ease the pain of the robbery rob the bank but no uncores. These criminals turn the whole city there in into one big musical can you imagine if Jacques Mesrine  when he used to rob to banks next door to each other belting out a French musical classic?!
Sound of Noise has been getting its plaudits since its first screening at Cannes and his swept the awards in its genre when it done its journey around this years festival circuit. The movie is very different and gives a new fresh look at heist movies and when you watch it first you do get an impression its a musical viral but obiviously its not and if its winning the awards its a movie you may want to check out when it'll hopefully make a stop at arthouse/indie cinema near you.
Sound Of Noise is due to be released in Sweden on December 25th, check out the synopsis & trailer after the break...

Mel Gibson may not be the man of the moment due to his much publicised private life but his old movies attracting a lot of attention and one has been remade in asia. You maybe looking at his movie cv thinking it must be Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Patriot or even Signs, nope! His foray into romcom in 2000 with Helen Hunt with WHAT WOMAN WANT!!!
Yes folks yes Mel Gibson's romcom has been remade in China with Chinese megastar Andy Lau reprising Gibson's role and Gon Li in Helen Hunt's part. Asia is going through a phase of remaking Hollywood movies with a Japanese version of Ghost already been made and a few others on the cards as well. The whole thing with these Hollywood  remakes is all down to a recent deal  which see several big named movies getting a asian makeover but I dont blame the asian film market for trying as hollywood has been for years destroying many fantastic asian/world  cinema movies with mediocre version.

So above is the first trailer and the movie will be released in China on February 14th, 2011.

Fred Wang (Andy Lau) is the top gun of the leading ad agency has his mind fixed on promotion to creative director. When the post was given to a new colleague Ellen, Fred is given an assignment to prove himself - pitch for a women's hygiene product. While brainstorming Fred met with an accident at home. He wakes up to discover his new gift - the ability to hear women's thoughts. The chauvinist suddenly becomes the expert on women psychology.

If it wasnt for the internet I wouldn't be here! Its a wonderful play you be educated with, entertained with but theres the darkside of the internet that makes you wish the thing was never invented. Barbara Wong shows us a way to abuse with her new movie THE BREAK UP CLUB.
The movie is about Joe a young guy who is devasted his girlfriend Flora has split up with him and Joe decides to join 'The Break up Club' to get over his heartache. By joining the club they say he'll be able to get back with Flora if he can break up another couple and his friend is who he braks up and Flora is back with him, then she breaks up again, comes back and off again. Its one hell of a emotional rollercoaster for Joe and whilst he does this he talks to a director (wong playing herself) about the club!
Despite the movie playing a little like a documentary it is actually a drama with some comedy and of course romance thrown in too! The movie was released in Hong Kong back in June so now its doing the rounds of the film festivals and the next port of call for the movie is Toronto in September, trailer after the break...

Have you just been dumped? What if there was a website that could get your loved one back? There is ! It is called BreakUpClub.asia.

Zhang Yimou maybe known to many as the director behind big budget movies such as Hero, The House Of Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower but you really the trueYimou when he creates more human, senusal compelling movies like THE LOVE OF THE HAWTHORN TREE.
This movie tells the story of young love during the cultural revolution of China between a young man & woman of different economic backgrounds beautifully shot, masterfully told by a fantastic filmmaker. This movie will go down well in China as it celebrates a important part of the country's history and the movie will be released in China on September 16th.

Are you one of those people who just cant get a date to have a lovelife?Cyrano Dating Agency maybe the ones to help you! This is new movie from South Korea  about  the agency that  helps the clients but they move together working on secret missions. with their goal to work in the background and until now they've had 100% sucess until they meet Min-yeong.
He is mr unpredictable, got the qaulities but just bad at the dating but he has one lady in his sights Hee-joong, very loveable person  but when the agency sees Min-Yeong's profile panic stations trigger, can this be another sucessfull job for the agency?
It sound abosuletly crazy and if Hollywood attempted this movie it would just be so generic another Hitch probably, only the Asians can get away with making obsure movies sucessfully.

Trailer for Derek Kwok's FROZEN (Wai nei chung ching )

No comments:
Source FILMSMASH
First time I noticed the title of this movie I was expecting it was a Chinese remake of the Adam Green movie of the same which comes out in uk on October 1st, but this is completely different.
Derek Kwok's Frozen or Wai Nei Chung Ching is about a woman Cyronically frozen in 1989 to waken up 20 years later to find out her then newborn is older than her! We've seen many movies likes of Freaky Friday where kids swap bodies with children, but I cant recall a movie like this where the kid is now older than the parent though has been the odd time travelling classic movie such as Back To The Future where Marty meets his mum.
The movie does sound very interesting and does have the charm you expect from a chinese/hong kong movie intwined with some fantasy, I didnt expect to see those big hairstyles again (I was 14 in 1989 remember them well!!!)
Frozen is out in Hong Kong on September 2nd, trailer after the break....
