Trailer for Sang-Soo's THE HOUSEMAID

The trailer for Director:Wagner de Assis NOSSO LAR

Source QuietEarth
I'll openly admit I dont follow a religion and when I was young I was brought up as a cathloic. To me after oil religion is the biggest culprit for the problem in todays society worldwide, I hate when people try and force religion down your throat and get told by rightwing nobodies that my religion is wrong we are better than you. I appreciate religion has its positives but people who want religion should find it own there own terms.
Nosso Lar is one person's vision of an area in the afterlife that spiritually you can go to after death. The story does follow one man doctor André Luiz on his journey from death to afterlife and his discovery of Nosso Lar which is an city. Been from Brazil it may have a catholic inspiration to it (Brazil is an predominately catholic country) so it may upset some of those right wing conservatives outthere. This does look fascinating  but religion is an  sensatitive issue and people will say "the afterlife isn't like this" how do you know, have you died? And its this issue that upset me when people critised Peter Jackson's vision in The Lovely Bones, with religious nuts coming out saying afterlife isnt like this. Whatever you think 20th Century fox like this so I'll expect a remake a few years down the line.
Just respect religion and embrace the knowledge that there is so many religions out there and every one has their own visions & views which will not be the same as yours and never criticise anything you dont like and not to expect criticism back.
The movie is directed by Wagner de Assis  and the film is based on the works of Xico Xavier with the movie coming out September 3rd in Brazil

When your last movie was about a upcoming student whom looses their memory and becomes a masked wrestler what would your next movie be? That is the quest Norihiro Koizumi must have asked himself.

When Gachi Boy came out a few years ago it became an instant hit in and around the international festival scene and Koizumi gained an reputation of creating movies completely different from what people may call 'normal'. Well for his new flick Flowers he has created an movie which is the absolute opposite from Gachi Boy with an drama which has elements of period in it with following 6 women  over 3 generations. There will be the trademarks of an Koizumi movie in it but what we can say is Norihiro Koizumi is one of the best character movie directors in Japan.

Here's the movies first teaser trailer:

teaser 2 for Blades of Blood (a.k.a Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds)

source Twitchfilm
Not that long ago I gave you the first trailer for Lee Jun-ik's Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds, well below is trailer 2 for the movie with its new shorter name Blades of Blood.
The new name of the movie is virtually a exact translation of original Korean name, I think it may have alot to do with the Western Market. If you did see this movie advertised you may aitomatically assume it's more a love story rather historical war drama.
Apart from the movies name you may automatically assume this is an rip-off of the classic Japanese Zaoitichi series due to the fact the movies main protaginist is blind, actually there's no connection the story comes from a Korean manga comicbook though I would count out some inspiration from the Japanese story.
Like'em or loathe'm the Asian movie industry know how to do an epic historical battle with great ease, check out the new extended teaser trailer (no.2).

This movie took 5 years to make and when it comes out on august 5th it will get a few tongues wagging as Petr Jakl (also starred in Aliens Vs Predators) promises to bring new controversial evidence which may shed light to things they believe Jiri Krajinek is hiding.

THE ROMANTIC - an Tim Burton/Edgar Allan Poe inspired animation

source QuietEarth
If Tim Burton met Edgar Allan Poe down a dark alley and decide to create a animation THE ROMANTIC would be there outcome. The movie is directed (and written) by Michael Heneghan and if you happening to be in Boston today or on Tuesday you can check out the world premier of this at the Boston Underground Film Festival.
 Read the Synopsis and check out the trailer below;

The curious citizens that inhabit the wondrous land of Vauxhull believe the universe to be governed by four gods. There’s Po, the flirtatious and free spirited Goddess of Love; Pik, the macabre Lord of Hate; and Pjorrc, the God of Time, who diabolically plots over the earth from his clockwork fortress on the moon.



Lastly, there is Obble-Dee-Puh Puh, the God of All Gods and Creator of All Things. The shrouded king who sits comfortably upon a throne of ascendancy, controlling the destinies of all living things. Men live their lives whilst the gods provide them with the means to make them extraordinary. And there is balance.


But within this mythological world of autumn landscapes and peculiar creatures, a heartbroken young Romantic swears a vicious oath to free the human race from the omnipotent control of the otherworldly gods. Blaming the divine forces for the loss of a past love, Romance embarks on a vengeful showdown with the Holy Host. Along the way he befriends Patience, a crackpot alcoholic who fulfills the role of mentor to Romance’s hero. Together the two traverse the lands, romancing women and hunting the divine.


But the Gods have their own agendas, and some are more willing to part with their lives than others. As the romance enfolds, a macramé of horri c causality materializes, tying the major players together in a net of family relationships and betrayal. Elsewhere, a monstrous religious zealot by the name of Fat Daddy manipulates the human race into following his royal son and their conservative manifesto entitled The Poetic End. As Romance and Patience’s journey continues, it becomes more and more evident that the world is changing and there are forces both human and divine that will stop at nothing to determine the shape that this new world will embrace.

Alice &the White Hair Short - Wyatt Dennys vision of the classic Lewis Carroll story

source QuietEarth
If you are like myself very dissappointed on the recent Tim Burton version of Alice In Wonderland maybe this will cheer you up, well for the adults. Wyatt Denny has created a independent short where The Mad Hatter and co have been replaced sex,drugs and Russian Roulette in Alice & The White Hair.
Alice is now a callgirl and walkouts of clubs with guys who look like something out of a marylin manson video, The tea party is now a crazy game of Russian Roulette!!! This is an stylish, contemporary modern twist to the classic Lewis Carroll story, come to think of it the original was a bit of a strange affair as well!!!
Visually this is good stuff plenty of eye candy plus full of up to date effects which dont overstate the movie but just blend in nicely. This movie is 15 minutes long and does suit the style of this adaptation, so enjoy!!!
