Trailer for WAKE

source TwitchFilm
Wake is an new pyschological  horror/thriller from the director Chad Feehan whom a few years ago brought us All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. The movie had its world premiere in Austin,Texas at the SXSW Festival and has been getting alot of attention from the Horror Fraternity.

This Shinning inspired movie stars Josh Stewart (The Ghost Whisperer), Jamie Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) as the movies leads, Pyschological, dark, twisted are a few words to describe this movie, a movie as it doesnt really sit nicely in one genre but taking it does dissect a persons morality.

I think we will be hearing a bit more from this movie in the near future, check out the trailer below:

IMBD synopsis:Driving to a wedding in Los Angeles through the Mojave Desert, Paul and Adrienne pull off the highway and into Roy's Motel and Cafe.

Well if you watched the Oscars last week you would have seen the Animation Short LOGORAMA , won the Oscar award for best animated short.

Created by François Alaux and Hervé de Crécy the story follows the police chasing an armed criminal through a Los Angeles created out of animated Coperate Logos. Reading and listening to the aftermath of the duo winning the oscar it was a bit of an shock for some, but living outside USA we seem to see and here about movies, shorts for the first time on the awards night or post awards night so at times it doesn't seem much a fuss. As for who some wanted or expected to win I dont really know.

So below is the winning animation in full, so what do you think was it worthy of its oscar or is some of this talk just talk? post your views below.

Vahalla Rising: Mads Mikklesen interview

source Screenrush

When it comes to epic movies and ones of historical/mythical content we only seem to cover those of Christian relevence but never any of pre-christian socities. Vahalla Rising  is an movie created by Bronson  director Nicolas Winding Refn  and stars Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Clash Of The Titans) as One Eye a mute warrior held captive by Norse Viking warriors and he escapes slaying his captors and he goes on a quest to find his trueself.
This movie is set in Viking times and was created with virtually no money usung visually stunning scenery and strong story writing as it basis. The movie is slow but also very deep and times brutal when the action kicks in. Screenrush recently caught up with Mads and had a chat about getting down and dirty in his upcoming viking epic.

The release date is not 100% confirmed but I believe Vahalla Rising will get a limited UK/Irish release this Friday (19th).

There 'romance' has a backdrop of bicyles, parties and mad crazy friends but the question they ask themselves can their relationship work? With their lives been pulled in different directions?

The trailer for Portugese movie EMBARGO

source TwitchFilm

If you love all thing absurd dark and damn right obscure ala Coen Brothers you should check out the trailer below for Portugese Movie EMBARGO.
The black comedy was directed by António Ferreira  and is about a hot dog salesman with an invention thats going to revolutionize the shoe industry but he has one one problem he's stuck in his car and cant get out. The Coens would love this script  but if this movie does well in its native Portugal dont be surprised if Hollywood comes knocking on the door and buys the rights to it.

enjoy the trailer which is after the offical synopsis.

Nuno is a man working at a hotdog stand, who also invented a machine which promises to revolutionize the shoe industry- a foot scanner. In the middle of a gasoline embargo and finding himself in a strange predicament, Nuno tries desparately to sell his machine, obsessing for the success that would help him get the things he wants out of life. When Nuno is mysteriously confined to his car, he misses the once in a lifetime chance to finally produce his invention, finding his life suddenly embargoed.

EMBARGO (TRAILER) - a film by António Ferreira - based upon the homonymous story by José Saramago from Zed Filmes on Vimeo.

Trailer for Dutch Drama GREAT KILLS ROAD

source QuietEarth

Great Kills Road  tells the story of a mans journey to find his ex-wife and his metally handicapped son. He must go to New York City to search for her  and the film shows an foreigner trying to cope with the sheer scale of New York metropolis and this I can relate to. Coming from Scotland the largest city in my country is Glasgow (1.5 million) and I have worked and travelled many times overseas and last summer I travelled to China to Guangzhou a medium sized city for the country and it was 12.5 million, 3 times biger in the whole population of Scotland!!! Its even daunting at times even going to London (which I have to go to in 2 weeks), its the small fish in a big pond!
Great Kills Road is an intimate Family drama and at times feels like a documentary but the trailer below does show that but eventually the trailer does shift gears into a intriguing piece of work. The movie has been a big popular movie when it networked the Dutch Film festivals receiving very positive views, like the source of this post I have tried to get more information on the movie but have been unable to.
Great Kills Road is directed by Tjebbo Penning, check out the trailer below:

Fantastic trailer for Argentinian Thriller Cano Dorado

source TwitchFilm
Argentina are a country reknowned for creating many crime thriller movies by the dozen, its like the countries filmakers where born to make these movies and below is an exceptional movie called Cano Dorado (The Golden Gun).
Many Argentian thrillers seem to be very slow paced, stylish ala arthouse but Cano Dorado  directed by Eduardo Pinto is very much different, raw in your face and full of energy very refreshing for the country's movie industry and I would have no quarrels of watching this, great stuff.

Here's the movie's synopsis which was posted on TwitchFilm:

This is the story of Panceta, a young laborer from one of the poorer suburbs in Greater Buenos Aires. He lives with his mother, a widow, who greatly misses her husband, as does Panceta his father. Panceta's life is focused on his work: he's taken over his fathers forge, as well as working at a pipe factory. But his ambitions to make money have made him turn to manufacturing home-made guns and selling them in the outlying districts. Inexperienced and unaware of the danger, he is challenged by the local mafia.



One night when delivering his guns he meets Clara, a young girl working at the local community hall. They fall in love and decide to run away, going off in a freeing boat trip along the river. A man in love becomes an easy prey for his enemies, especially for Tacom, a powerful local mafia boss.


What had begun as a game turns grey and ever darker - the consequences are tragic and tormenting.
