Trailer for Luc Besson's Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec movie

source SlashFilm
The first full trailer for Luc Besson's Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec  has been embedded below thanks to Yahoo France via Slashfilm.

We've been following the progress of this movie as best as I can and I have to say this trailer is fantastic.The impressive looking trailer is based on the Jacques Tardi comicbooks which where and still are very popular in France, Belgium and other Benleux countries, so yes even the non hollywood movie market are recreating comicbooks for the big screen.

SYNOPSIS:(Source Twitchfilm)The year is 1912. Adèle Blanc-Sec, an intrepid young reporter, will go to any lengths to achieve her aims, including sailing to Egypt to tackle mummies of all shapes and sizes.

Meanwhile, in Paris, it's panic stations! A 136 million-year old pterodactyl egg on a shelf in the natural history museum has mysteriously hatched, and the bird subjects the city to a reign of terror from the skies. But nothing fazes Adèle Blanc-Sec, whose adventures reveal many more extraordinary surprises...
Set in the carefree world before World War I, Adèle Blanc-Sec's adventures see the brave young woman fearlessly battling crooks, corrupt politicians, demon worshipers and mad scientists. Legendary cartoonist Jacques Tardi's original stories perfectly recreate the intrigue, romance and excitement of one of the most tumultuous periods in history.
Adapted and directed by Luc Besson (Arthur and the Minimoys, The Fifth Element, The Professional), Adèle's exhilarating, funny and fabulous adventures will be one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2010

 If this movie is given half a chance it could do very well outside France but then again theres sadly too many people lazy to read subtitles so they would have to destroy the movie with a watered down hollywood OTT poor version.


The movie is due to be released in France on APRIL 14TH but if your in Brussels, Belgium on April 9th you can ctach it at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival

There's not much I can say about this movie STRAYED apart from its from Kazakhstan by director Akan Satayev his directoral debut.

The movie does look very interesting and I think looking at it I think all we see is not what it seems!

The following morning, the main character awakens alone, his wife and son having mysteriously disappeared. His preliminary searches bring the hero to a small lonely house, in which an old man and a young woman live. It seems that these strange tenants know about him and his family but try to hide their knowledge. For what reason?

Below is his latest offering and the second trailer for FOR LUNG (Fire Of Conscience) which will be out in Hong Kong on April 1st as for the rest of us no matter how good the movie is its more likely the movie will be out here in UK & Ireland on DVD from the usual stockists, unless there's a cinema near you that specialise's on Asia movies.

Trailer for Dysfunctional Family fun with ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

source QuietEarth

When you think about certain stars who where big names at one point making good movies as well as poor movies then suddenly they disappear off the face of the earth and suddenly years later you have your own blog and you post a trailer for ACCIDENTS HAPPEN and in it is Geena Davis. In the 1980's she was in alot of big movies including the jeff goldbloum remake of The Fly, Cutthroat Island, Thelma and Louise all Blockbuster movie of the time and she sort of disappeared of the face of the earth. Obivously she did alot of tv work including Commander in Chief and alot Ive never heard of probably because they where never shown in UK!

Accidents Happened first appeared at the 2009 Tribec Festival and hasnt been seen since and its a very dark comedy but also serious movie, a family torn apart by tragedy and only come together when accidents happen but not for support just to crack up and then go awol again. I ask one question how many people do you know have been electricuted whilst washing the dishes? watch the trailer!

Imdb synopsis:There are dysfunctional families... and then there are the Conways. After a family tragedy, 15-year-old Billy Conway has become the de facto glue between his bitter mom, distant brother, and stoic dad. But when Billy starts to act out, everything changes for him and his family

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. This roadside artifact proves to be a strange and surreal place with an unsettling mix of travelers, who force our couple to discover the secret hidden between them and ultimately, the horrifying reality of their current situation.

Watch The Oscar Winning Short LOGORAMA

Source TwitchFilm
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).

BRAINWASHED LOVE is co-written( with Alix Large)  and directed by Shawn Bannon and is about Edward an Los Angeles projectionist who meets Cillian at a halloween party and despite her reluctance he dates her. 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?

When I watch this I get the feeling I do like this movie but I can't tell why I like I just like it, hopefully soon I canwatch it and see why I like it, check out the trailer.
