The Myth of the American Sleepover - Official Trailer from Strike Anywhere on Vimeo.

source QuietEarth
This another movie been shown at the SXSW Festival, its the thing I love about these festivals its a chance to think outside the box, that been hollywood cinema and actually whatch some of the movies from the independant or even international movie scene.There is so many diverse great movies, shorts documentaries been shown and if you are having withdrawl symtoms of not watchinging a mainstream movie dont despair they always a few in the festival as well.
As I said the trailer above is for the movie THE MYTH ABOUT THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVER a movie created and written by David Robert Mitchell which is an coming of age movie and it is a hard time to be a tee. This movie follows 4 teens looking for love, adventure and that iconic teenage experience in the last night of summer, and even though Im not American I agree with QuietEarth its full of Kitcshy cliques of heading to a town centre and a centre all the teens want to be at. The confusing thing is, is this a drama or is it a real life drama? If they made a film on the teens in my town it wont be the town centre by the local police station or nearby shop selling alcohol and to be in the movie your fashion style has to be deerstalker hat, football shirt, shellsuit/tracksuit, white sports socks and dont forget the woolen gloves even in the summer.

A while back we gave you the teaser trailer for Earthling a indie sci-fi written and directed by Clay Liford, now the movie is getting shown at next weeks SXSW festival in Austin Texas and just learnt from Quiet Earth the movie will also get played at Sci-Fi London festival  as well!!!
Below is full trailer and there is a few known faces in this flick like Peter Greene(Pulp Fiction) Rebecca Spence (Public Enemies) and William Katt (Carrie).The story about the  aftermath of  an  mysterious atmospheric event, a small group of people wake up to realize that their entire lives have been a lie. They are in fact aliens disguised as humans. Now they have to make a choice. Live amongst men, or try to find a way back home. In the trailer you do get a little more of the story learning that a small spikey pod is causing an alarm with the 'earthlings' suggests this pod is the cause of all the trouble and it is good that a sci-fi movie can be made without the need to have obscure looking aliens but a more humanist look to it.

Well you've either got suffer it or embrace it, thats what Barry Munday the indie comedy starring Patrick Wilson as the movies  main protagonist who wakes up in the hopsital to find the old crown jewels have been removed!!!! Thinks just get worse for Barry when he learns that one of the many women he slept with is filing a paternity lawsuit  but he cant remember having sex with.Finally Barry realises its his last chance to be a daddy  so he reaches out and embraces parenthood as well the many bumps along the road as well.


The movie is an directoral debut for Chris D'Arienzo  Barry Munday believe it or not is a very heart warming comedy  which actually proves that loosing the jewels actually does make him out to be a better person. The movie does have its fairshare of oddball characters and naughty innuendos, just check out the poster!!!

SXSW Festival is fast creeping up and still everyday we get new trailers for the movies playing at the fest in Austin, Texas. Today we have the indie drama LEBANON PA, a movie written and directed by Ben Hickernell a well crafted little movie about a man called Will who heads to Lebanon PA from Philadelphia to bury his recently deceased father. During his time there he forms a unlikely friendship with his 17 year old pregent cousin CJ, as will becomes more interested in CJ married teacher  and confronts her conflicted father both find it a struggle to find their own paths in life.
In this movie it show how divided America really is through the eyes of one family and if theres any way they can sweep away there differences and meet in the middle. What I love is the name of the movie Lebanon and with the festival been played in the deep south of  USA Im sure the movie title will go down well in some quarters!!!

Lena Dunham's TINY FURNITURE Trailer

 source QuietEarth

I can sort of relate with Aura the main protaginist in TINY FURNITURE, just finished college/university got a degree you return home hopefully start a newlife . Things aren't going great at home with your artist mum & teenage sister but most off all no job abd no friends. I went down to england to manchester to university get a degree then when things were over I went home, no job,  and who where my friends had there own lives things moved on, bored and getting on everyones nerves.
Tiny Furniture is written, directed and stars Lena Dunham plays Aura and the film starts at a critical stage of her life stuck  no direction and very unhappy. Believe it or not her on screen mum and sister are her realife family so you can say this is a "real-life" tragic-comedy drama. What I do like about this is it publicises our lives seemed by ruled by the social networks of youtube, facebook, twitter, then again this blog wouldn't exsist!
The reason for the SXSW logo is that I could find a photo for this movie and the movie is been played at the festival which takes place in Austin, texas USA starting on March 12th.
