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.

Charlotte Gainsbourg is a sucker for crazy releationships - Persécution trailer

Charlotte Gainsbourg fair picks the movies that have that crazy mucked up relationships as recently seen in Lars Von Trier's Antichrist and now she is in the thick of it in Persecution.
This movie is the latest offering from French director Patrice Chéreau who is known for his 1990's movie La reine Margot (Queen Margot) which which shown him in the limelight despite the inaccuracies in the history/facts of the movie.  

Charlotte Gainsbourg plays a woman called Sonia in a love/hate relationship with Daniel played by Romain Duris and out of the blue a mysterious man (Jean-Hugues Anglade)
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?
Watch the trailer below and you'll see it's not going to be about a failed relationship but more a dangerous and mysterious game.The movie was shown last month at the London Film Festival but I dont have info of an release in the indie/arthouse cinemas in Uk or Ireland, though December 9th it will get a cinematical release in France.

The solitary Daniel and Sonia share an uneasy love/hate relationship. Daniel's life is disrupted by the appearance of a stranger that proceeds to insinuate himself in his life. The man's persistence takes its toll on Daniel and Sonia, leaving Daniel alone with nagging questions of "Why?"- IMDB

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.
