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

It's Been around for ages this movie and is due to be released in UK&Ireland on December 11th, here is the trailer for UNMADE BEDS.
Written and directed by Alexis Dos Santos and is a story about Axl and vera 2young foreigners living in London trying to rediscover there roots and of course romance. I dont know much about this movie but as I like to say its part of my journey to learn and enjoy indie cinema and it's always best to start your "film eduction" with your own countries indie movie scene and then progress into the other countries from around the world and enjoy.

Axl wants to find his long-lost father and rediscover his past. Vera just wants to forget hers as she tries to move on from heartbreak. Their stories come together in the melting-pot of 21st century London. - IMDB

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.

PAA - Trailer

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).

This is a rare story of a father - son relationship which will pull the people in through the doors to watch this or  at least to see Paa's monkey dance which I think will rival Ricky Gervais the Office Christmas dance, so do you really wanna see it? Oh yes you do!

Teaser Trailer for (Кандагар) Kanadahar

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.
