British Independent Film Awards 2009 Winners Announced
Last Night Was the 12th Annual British Independent Film Awards held at the Brewery in London. We all know that the majority of the film award events are basically crap and predictable and has more rigged winners than the whole correlone family, enough to make the Godfather very jealous. Politics within the hollywoods elite is rife and even 12 months before the next awards they know whos is going to win.
If you where to pick out an honest, trusting awards ceremony you cant go wrong in the independent movie scene and the BIFA's are one those honest ceremonies. Yes I'm goin to be patriotic here and say why, the awards this ceremony give out are to the people & movies that deserve the credit and not to the movies that get the credit for filling up some fat cat's pockets full of money. There British and they support the independent movie scene and no matter where you live you should always support locally/nationally first and then internationally.
Below is a link which will take you to the report I created at THE PEOPLES MOVIES Blog on last nights awards. You will find who won what as well as a few video interviews from some of the winners.

Whats Up Lovely? Trailer
source QuietEarth
Below is the new trailer for indie drama WHAT'S UP LOVELY By Gary King.
Actress Jean Dees plays Luci a pretty girl who has just lost her job and simply cant sleep at nights and embarks on many journeys around the sprawling metroplis of New York at Night. Many of her encounters are very strange and wierd and in one unforgettable night she confronts her fears and desires as she struggles to make her way back home.
I can relate at points with the character Luci as I went through a 18 month spell with no work, very depressing and unable to do nothing for so long can open you up to a journey to discovery as you try to realign your desires and aims in life.
I dont Know much about Gary King but reading the post by Quiet Earth he is an director to keep an eye open for. This trailer shows this movie to be a simple story of life and its pressures, but What's Up Lovely does look a enticing movie to watch.

Watch: UK Zombie short PLAGUE
source QuietEarth -----I wonder all those years ago when George C Romero gave birth to a horror movie genre of zombie flicks I wonder if he ever realised 40 plus years on how popular the genre still is? Year after year we get a movie inspired the great mans original work, some are good others are just plain crap, I have to admit I am a sucker for zombie flicks, Dawn of the dead is in my favourites list (both versions).Below we have a wonderful little treat for all zombie and horror maniacs outthtere, thanks to Matt Simpson below is his zombie short PLAGUE . Last 17 minutes and was selected and shown at many film festivals worldwide including NYC's Horror Film Festival it was simply sleceted due to Matt's vision for the movie. Matt wanted the zombie flick to venture away from the usual zombie movies using someone outside of society and taking in a issue thats high on many country's agendas, immigration. The movies main character is an Latvian man Vilhelm who is an illegal immigrant as well as a gunrunner who heads to London for a new life, but when he arrive in the big smoke the dead have risen and consuming the living. But can he escape?
Whatever country you may come from you should always support homegrown talent as well as talent elsewhere and Matt Simpson is an talent that get's the full backing of everyone at Cinehouse/The Peoples Movie's Blogs!

十月圍城 - Bodyguards and Assassins extended trailer
Ive seen a number of different version of trailers for this movie and havent bothered posting it but I decided what the heck, why not! apparantely the first trailer was to set the mood for the film with the next one sets up the movies story, little unsure what the third one is but this one like what Twitchfilm says proves Hing Kong action movies is alive and well and back up with with a fantastic replica Old 1900's Hong Kong set sets this movie up to be a big monster of a movie!
The movie is all about the bodygaurds of Dr.Sun Yat-Sen (regarded as the father of modern Chinese communism) during 1905 who attempt to protect him from the onslaught of assassins. Director Teddy Chan has brought together of virtually everyone in who's who of Chinese cinema: Nicholas Tse, Simon Yam, Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Leon Lai to Donnie Yen, Eric Tsang, Fan Bingbing, Hu Jun, to name a few...
The movie will be released in Hong Kong in a few weeks on December 18th and the movie has been bought for the Britsh, Canadian, Koren and Middle East cinema but there's no release date yet.....
