Above is the trailer for Spanish Juega Conmigo (Play With Me) directed by Jorge Jaramillo and Luis Fernando Mora. There's not alot of information on this movie apart from the little info Dread Central (who also struggled) could get. This creepy indie flick is about an very disturbed killer who has an mentality of an child, though its not alot sometimes litttle tidbits can just be as good as getting everything on a plate at once, it keeps the curiousity going.
I have no idea of when this movie will be out but I'll assume it will be sometime 2010 and if we're to go by the horror/thriller movies from Spain thats gone by Im sure this one will be a cracker!

Swiss Sci-fi movie CARGO will be getting its American Premiere at the festival either 17th or 18th March in the festivals "Spotlights Premieres" which means you will watch it in the cinema's biggest screen.
According to Quiet Earth this movie deserves the big screen treatment and looking at the trailer I have to agree.

During its daily control gears through the ghostly empty ship, Laura has more and more the feeling to not to be alone on board. A reconnaissance mission in the dark and icy freight room ends in a fiasco. The remainder of the garrison is woke. A Katz- and mouse game begins, in which is nothing so, how it appears.

The Exploding Girl Trailer
Below is the trailer for Bradley Rust Gray's THE EXPLODING GIRL, a coming of age tale of Ivy a young girl who suffers from Epilepsy but is struggling to have feelings for her boyfriend. To make matters worse her friend Al decides to crash and stay with her.
The trailer is wonderfully shot and protrays the worries of life as an young adult and during last summers festivals it did get positive reviews from all who seen it. I dont know if they'll be an UK/Irish release via the independent cinemas but there will be a limited release in USA from March 12th.
Is this Poland's version of Eternal Sunshine?? WJONA POLSKO-RUSKA trailers
The source of this trailer describes this movie WJONA POLSKO-RUSKA (Snow White and The Russian Red) as Poland's version of Eternal Sunshine of The Mind, Im unsure. First impressions from the poster I think more like an Trainspotting esque movie but as they say never judge a book by its cover, so you have to say the basis of the story is where the Eternal Sunshine links come from.
This movie tells the story of Silny a hardline nationalist who is anti semtic, racist and a homophobe whose girlfriend leaves him but he soon meets up with satanist Angela. the duo hang around drug dependant nobodies in a environment which can only be described as nihilistic.
The movies story comes from 18 year old writer
Dorota Maslowska who has caused a big stir with his novel simply due to the content and the movies leading character's stance of life. Anyway watch the trailers and you can decide for yourselfs.

Benjamin Heisenberg’s DER RAUBER Trailer
DER RAUBER (The Robber) is the second full length feature from new German director Benjamin Heisenberg and stars Andreas Lust as Johannes Rattenberger in a true story of an Athelete who became obbessed with robbing banks as a "hobby".
Even during robberies he still thinks like an athelete by measuring his heart rate, stamina and efficiency. Even hidding his passion from his girlfriend he needs to get his regular fix of heists but he has no goal and like an athlete he must always be alert and on the go.
Like our source QuietEarth I dont know much about the story of Rettenberger apart from the movie is based on a Martin Prinz novel about the athlete who was knicked named "Pump Gun Ronnie". The movie is part of the Berlin International festival which is currently happening in the city at the moment.
The movie is actually an Austrian movie and according to Imdb the movie is due to be released in Austria sometime this month so it may already be out, anyway check out the trailer below:
Trailer for British Indie post apoclayptic thriller THE LAST SEVEN
source HeyUGuys
Above is the teaser trailer for British Indie thriller THE LAST SEVEN which stars Tamer Hassan, Simon Phillips, Daisy Head, Sebastian Street, Rita Ramnani, John Mawson, Ronan Vibert and Danny Dyer. .
The movie is set in London after an cataclysmic event leaves only seven people left in the world (just all happen to be in London!). No one has a clue what happened and as they try to come to terms of the event they dont realise that there's something nasty tracking them!!
Right away you can see films like I Am Legend and 28 days later have inspired this movie and the teaser does what it does does n't give you much away. The only quarrel I have with this, is there isnt any household names with Tamer Hassan and Danny "F*****g" Dyer not really crowd pullers, but it does look ok just just wondering how good it'll do? Possibly would do better as a TV mini/ one off drama?
The movie is the directoral debut from Imran Naqvi and I dont have a release date but Ill think it'll be very soon in UK as its advertising as winter 2010 and will probably come out as a limited release.

Classy Crime-Noir POUTA (Walking Too Fast)
source TwitchFilm
Nothing better than a old style crime drama set behind the former iron curtain, full of conspiracies, backstabbers and 'missing' persons. I have a friend who now lives in Scotland and was in Slovakia (then part of Czech Republic) and she would tell me about how bad it was and even simple things we take for granted it would have been a miracle then, so a crime genre during the cold war is perfect setting.
POUTA (Walking Too Fast) is the latest movie from Czech director Radim Spacek which is based in 1982 Czechoslovakia when the country was ruled by a totalitarian regime and Anton is an secret Police member. Bored of life, bored, uneasy of the current regime at time seen as pyschopathic he breaks the rules he has followed for many years by not as civic or political statement but a rebellious statement of boredom. Anton is also fascinated with a girl called Klara not through love but for a chanel of escape but his passion sees him up against the people he works for and works against
POUTA is out now in Czech Republic.

The Dutch have a bad case of Ghosts in Zwart Water
source TwitchFilm
and sees a family movie into an old b ig house which in its attic has an ghost which is attracted to the young daughter of the family and preys on her. Ok this isnt an original story the ghost thing has been done a million times but what splits good movies from bad is how they execute the story, we expect certain things with a supernatural story but the way you present it is got to be unique.
This is the first trailer for the movie and it does build up the mood and tension of the movie and even throws in a few disturbing images to start off those brown trouser moments. Zwart Water will be out on national release in Holland from March 11th.
A Single Man Review
Here's a review I posted on my other blog ThePeoples Movies From Travis at The Movie Encyclopedia for this review. He has done several reviews for the blog and I appreciate his contribution, As Single Man comes under the label of Independent Movie I can post on CineHouse as well. Please do check out his blog and to get there read his review and then click on the review source link.

A SINGLE MAN
by Travis, The Movie EncyclopediaHello I am the movie encyclopedia and if no one else will see it, I will.
Tom Ford is a name that most women know by heart. Guys scratch there heads and gays rejoice in one of their idols. Tom Ford has been a very influential stylist and designer for a long time but everyone has to evolve. So evolve Ford did but instead of doing a runway show on Lifetime or Bravo he decided to make a movie based on an under appreciated Christopher Isherwood novel called a Single Man.
A Single Man is the story of George. It's November 30, 1962 and its the day he says he is going to commit suicide. He is a British professor who is struggling after his partner died suddenly 8 months ago. George is fixated on the past and thinks his future is an empty void. He plans on meeting with his best friend Charley for dinner buts gets sidetracked by a Spanish prostitute and a young student who becomes fixated with George.
If this film looks like Mad Men then don't be surprised when I tell you it was made with the same phenomenal production team behind it. Tom Ford financed the movie himself and hired the best people he could to help him out. It shows in everything in the film. Everything LOOKS authentic and time appropriate. Everything feels like the 60s and it adds a lot to the film. Colin Firth's George is brilliant. While Firth isn't exactly on my radar as a great actor (I did like him in Bridget Jone's Diary though) this almost totally changed my mind. His performance is deep, thoughtful and he really pulls you in with his performance. Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode add a lot to this movie as well. While both their parts are a bit smaller they do mean a lot to the plot and add some serious depth.
This film is one that is really style AND substance. It mixes all of it together to create a deep, well acted masterpiece. I recommend this to anyone who likes a little flair with their film.
MY VERDICT: OWN IT
MOVIE RATING: 4 out of 5

Stellan Skarsgård stars as a "Gentle Man" in En ganske snill mann
Alot of people may not recognise who Stellan Skarsgard is, some of you may recognise him but may not remember what he was in. You may know him as Bootstrap Bill from Pirates of Carribbean (Wil Turner aka Orlando Bloom's screen dad) or even again as Bill from Mama Mia... aagh that guy!!!
Well he is an established actor and does alot of movies in Hollywood as well as his native tongue (well scandanavian) and here's the first trailer for his latest En ganske snill mann (A Somewhat Gentle man). The movie sees him play Ulrik a man whose just out of jail after doing 12 years for killing his wife and now out he considers either trying to reconcile with his family or go after the people who stitched him up.
Reading the synopsis from IMDB he's not a gentle man and this comedy Ill expect to have a bit of violence in it as it could be either a revenge movie or simply a reconcilation flick which could bring a few metal wounds.
The movie has been directed by
Hans Petter Moland who has been regarded as the "Ridley Scott of Norway" though not as prolific and definitely still unknown on the international circuit though with Stellan Skarsgard (soon to be father of Thor in Kenneth Brannagh's THOR) in the movie that could all change.
Movie out in Norway on March 19th
