Alot of things in movieworld get typecast be it certain actors or the movie and its origin, so when we talk about Spain these days it tends to be gripping horror/thrillers.When it's the Horror genre there's a little checklist: Does it have director/producers from The Orphanage or Pan's Labyrinth? is it a Horror? is it a Thriller? or cant you tell? if you tick all the boxes on this checklist, it's Spanish! But nowdays the Spanish movies are very confusing when you cant tell which genre the movie should fall under, but what should be more import is the movie any good?
Verbo ticks all the box of the checklist with Eduardo Chapero-Jackson who wrote and directed the movie which does look quite good despite his fetish for lightsticks! The soundtrack and visual effects do build this movie up to be a epic intense film.
Teaser Trailer after the break....

INSOMNIA Director Returns with Heist Movie NOKAS
Source Gordon The Whale
About 8 years ago a little unknown Christopher Nolan remade Insomnia which was based on a 1997 Norweigan movie also called Insomnia by a director called Erik Skjoldbjærg (who did get acknowledge in the remake).Skjoldbaerg hasn't dont much on the big screen for about 5 years and he return with an impressive looking Heist movie called NOKAS
The movie is very and violent but at the same time you get the feeling that the criminals in mind are slightly glorified in the way the criminals in Ocean's franchise, the inspiration is varied especially a big influence from Japanese movies like Rashomon (which is on a limited cinematical release in UK at the moment). This just looks good and would love to review this, highly unlikely I'll see it, but if you do send us a review and share it with us here at Cinehouse!
Nokas will be out October 1st in Norway, trailer after the break...

O.T.T Mutant Mayhem with Trailer to Benny Chan's CITY UNDER SEIGE
source Wildgrounds
When I think of Hong Kong Movies I think of good old fashioned crime/gangster thrillers like HardBoiled (John Woo) but I would never think I would see Hollywood style big action flicks with mutants that look like there in joke sumo sponge suits or if you pull at their arms & legs they'll be a stretch Armstrong. Well Benny Chan has went old school back to the 1980's eploitation style movie with his new 70million Yuan blockbuster CITY UNDER SIEGE.
This movie does look like something out of a Spiderman or X-Men comic book and I beleive they where Chan's inspiration for the movie which can be described as over the top mutant action flick. They dont want to rule the world these mutants they just want to rob a bank and scary the living crap out of Hong Kong city whilst they do it!
I have to say this looks cheesy but fun! starring Aaron Kwok, Wu Jing, Colin Chou and Shu Qi the movie is scheduled for release in Hong Kong/China on August 6th, trailer after the break...

source TwitchFilm
I really wanted to see this whilst it was shown at Edinburgh Film Festival but due to my adventures working in Greece and returning home when it was too late has angered me but the movie did only receive 'ok' reviews.
The movie in question is German Black Comedy SNOWMAN'S LAND directed by Tomasz Thomson in a movie style described as Coen Brother's style dark, unrelenting and vicously funny.
You can check the trailer after the break, sorry there's no subtitles but the movie does look good and if you love Coen Brother satire you will relate easy with this movie...

Happy 4th July! Here's the trailer for MENTENG KID a.k.a Little Obama
Well July 1st was Canada day and today is independence day in USA, well here in uk we dont really have dadys like that. The last few years have been hetic in American/world politics and when Barack Obama became president to many he was a revelation move on a year or two people question if he was the right but personally not the president the American economy was alot worse off than thought, a bit like the British one (but we were daft to vote in a right wing government that doesn't know the difference between there arse & elbow!.
So lets role back the years a young Obama is living in Indonesia with his parents and LITTLE OBAMA (Obama Anak Menteng) is a new movie which was released this weekend in Indonesia. It is based on an adaptation of Damian Dematra's fictionalized book which young Barack may have done whilts he lived in the country, nothing offical but still makes for a decent movie!
Cult Chilean Director Nicholas Lopez tells us ...F*CK MY LIFE, new trailer
source Twitch
Cult Chilean Film director Nicholas Lopez is feeling very nostalgic, romantic and basically drunk with his new flick QUE PENA TU VIDA (Fuck My Life).
This romantic comedy is the one for the 'Facebook Generation', the generationof young people where everything that happens in your life has to be told online via Facebook or txt, they control your life, I can relate to this with previous job I had to work with younger people (early 20's) and everything they did was facebook this, facebook that. In this movie the guy of the movie life seems to rotate getting laid even though he's unemployed and getting what he wants its good old Facebook! But his previous girlfriends/lovers are all over his page! He even had one lover thought she would be pregent as she stood on a used condom!
After the break you can watch the english subtitled trailer and as for the target audience Lopez want's well this movie will be a preview shown before the new upcoming Twilight movie in Chile! enough said!!!
