Trailer for Clay Liford'S EARTHLING

source QuietEarth 
Earthling  is a Sci-Fi story about a small group of people who woken up to the fact their lives have been one big great white lie. Due to a unknown amotspheric event  which has brought the truth to the surface that this small group of people are actually aliens who have been disguised as humans. The group must dace the fact should they try find what home really is or just simply live the rest of their lives as Humans.

The story for this movie is what attracts you to this movie which has been written and directed by Clay Liford. The music is fantastically hypnoticand visually wonderful to watch. You can see from the trailer the group have been living varied lifestyles some look like they want to go others want to stay. The music is hypnotic it gives you the impression of a nice squeeky clean living but deep down everything you see isnt as rosy as you think.

The movie will be one of the many movies been shown SWXW festival next month in Austin Texas.

Matt McCormick's SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS Trailer

source QuietEarth
We all have those days that are better than others, Ive not had many great days the past year, always start happy and end in tears. Below is the directoral debut for Matt McCormick with Some Days Are Better Than Others.
This is an strong indie drama about an "exploration, emptiness, human connection and abandonment while observing an interweaving web of awkward characters who maintain hope by inventing their own forms of communication and self-fulfillment." as described on QuietEarth. The trailer looks rather depressing but from the online commertary for the movie it's not really that dull, but a very character driven piece of work.
 The movie also stars exS;eater Kinney guitarist Carrie BrownsteinandShins singer James Mercer giving the film a nice extra indie touch. Sundance Festival has just finished and so everyone moves onto the next big one, well to me it would be Berlin but to some its SXSW festival  an major music, film and multimedia festival in Austin Texas, U.S.A and this movie will be part of the line up with Cyrus, McGruber, Lebanon and Kick-Ass.

Trailer for Thai-Action Drama IN THE SHADOW OF THE NAGA

source Twitchfilm
In Thailand they've caused a bit of an issue on ratings of films shown and made in there country especially alot of bad/negative comments. Like any new laws theres always loosers but there is also alot of winners and the trailer below NAK PROK (In The Shadow Of The Naga).
The movie is set in a Bhuddist Monastery which has been built over where alot of money or treasure was buired. In order to retrieve the loot 3 criminals must enter the monastery as monks. Thailand is an very passionate country about religion and Bhuddism especially and in this film there is scenes of violence against the monks as well as scenes of the criminals been ordained as monks and a few years ago this would have been a big no no and the movie would have been banned. You think about it anywhere where religion which is a big part of peoples lives or anything sensative which was protrayed violently would be cut big style or even banned.
The movie has been given a 20+ rating which is a bit of an weird rating but then again in some states in USA you have to be 21 to drink alcohol legally. I wonder if On Golden Pond was released would it get a 65+ rating???

here's the trailer in english subtitles:

source The Peoples Movies

Below is the first U.K trailer for HEARTLESS which has just been posted online Thanks to Lionsgate.

During 2009 especially summer period we heard alot about this Phillip Ridley movie especially from the director and the films main stars Jim Sturgess and Noel Clarke but never seen a trailer until now.
The movie is about a young man called Jamie who is born with a large heart shaped birthmark on his face. The birthmark effects Jamie pyshically as well as mentally and would do anything to get rid of it.He discovers that the gangs in the east part of London (where the film is based), many of its members are actually realife demons and he is tricked into doing a deal with the devil who grants him his wish and removes the marks. As usual do a deal with the devil there will always be setbacks.
As well Jim Sturgess & Noel Clarke, Eddie Marsan, Timothy Spall and Clémence Poésy also star. Heartless is going to get a very limited cinema release in U.K on May 21st for 3 days when on 24th it will be available on DVD. If you happen to be in Glasgow around 19th February you can catch it at the citys Film Festival (click here for deatils).
Its sad certain movies dont get the exposure they deserve with a decent run in the cinemas and only thanks to First Showing who were able to get the code that we can watch the trailer below as YAHOO UK dont seem to be bothered much about it.

Trailer for Irish post apocalyptic movie DITCHING

source QuietEarth

Below is the trailer for Northern Irish Arthouse drama called DITCHING. The movie is set in a post apocalyptic Northern Ireland where the Ulster is a dangerous fuedal and depopulated land, full of decaying towns with primative techonolgy. The people are confused and have also forgotten there troubled pasts and improvise ceremovies and games but still give no comfort to the world around them that makes them feel threatened but have no idea what awaits them at the end of the journey.
The movie was directed by an art collective from Belfast called Factotum and was their first venture into film making. Wasnt a high budget affair but still it is an noble first attempt and one Northern ireland 's independant cinema would be proud of.

Space Cadet time for ZONAD

#

source QuietEarth  

Greeting Earthlings I am Zonad and here is my trailer. Zonad is a comedy from Ireland from John Carney who also co wrote it with his Brother Keiran. The movie follows a "alien" from a planet far far away in a glaxay far far away who visits a small Irish community of Ballymoran. His visit coincides with a recent  sighting of a rare comet which makes the localfolks very gulliable to think he really is a alien rather than Liam a recent rehab escapee.

This does look funny but some Irish people maybe a little offended as it does tend to make the Irish look stupid. It is lighthearted and it has been created by an Irishman so no blame can go on non-irish people, though I can understand been scottish we can be prone to the odd pisstake from non-scottish people. They just like to "sterotype" and think all people from certain countries all talk, look the same, after a while you just have to take it on the chin!

Zonad will be out in Irish cinemas from March.

Trailer for Koji Wakamatsu's Kyatapirâ

source TwitchFilm
The Berlin Film Festival is only a few days away and amgry I never took the chance cover the festival via this blog (I may try). This is Europe's first major film festival of the year and usually one that many film distributors try tie up deals for there European audiences.
Below is the trailer for Kyatapirâ (Caterpillar) by Japanese director Koji Wakamatsu and the movie is based on a short story called "Imomushi" by author Rampo Edogawa. The story is about a soldier who returns home a mutli-amputee looking at TwitchFilm's post this movie does seem very faithfull to the original story. Director Wakamatsu has in the past been infamous for including his political stance in many of his movies, unfortunately I could n't say if true or what political stance he has, but looking at the trailer possibly very working class maybe even anti-war.

Tony Jaa's ONG BAK 3 teaser trailer

sources We Are Movie Geeks

I'd be honest and say I've never seen a Tony Jaa movie, so what Ong Bak 1 & 2 (which was just out a few months ago!) is about I couldnt tell you. What I do know about Tony he is one the leading actors in Martial Arts movies, he mixes styles creating his own unique brand.
Dont expect much plot or even talking to that matter, but thats not in a nasty way about the movie. The techinical ability of this guy is unbelievable and his fighting skills do all the talking. Watching the trailer below is like watching a music video but once again its not a criticism, its just Tony Jaa. As for what the plot is I dont actually know but if youve seen movie two it is a continuation of how things ended, as ive been told.

Movie three is out in Thailand this April, enjoy the trailer....
