It's not just the American's who remake movies left right and centre, The Asian market has its fair share of remakes some obscures other you expect but at no time would I see a Coen Brother's movie been remade but one has. That movie is Blood Simple and below is the American Trailer for A WOMAN, A GUN AND A NOODLESHOP.
The movie has been remade by House of The Flying Daggers/Hero director
Yimou Zhang and typically Chinese they concentrate more on the humour factor rather the drama  and guess what American fans can catch this movie as it goes on a limited release on September 3rd as for UK &Ireland there is no word, more likely direct to DVD.

If you are a lover of movies or a student of film studies if you were to study one movie to learn about film making especially how to creat a dystopian sci-fi , you should look no further than METROPOLIS.

The silent movie masterpiece was created by Fritz Lang in 1927 and a few years back, 25 minutes footage previously thought was lost was found and now the restoration of the complete movie is ready to be admired once again on our big screens. During September as well October special screeenings/educational screenings will take place all around UK & Ireland  and you can find the full list of screenings on the specially made website .
Just think if it wasnt for movies like this movies like Blade Runner and probably the whole science fiction movie genre wouldn't have been created, Metropolis is a true cinematic piece of history, trailer after the break....

I spotted this one on Friday at 24FPS but I was unable to post the trailer as it didnt have a code to let me post it here but now Twitch have and you can check the teaser for MR ZOMBIE after the break.
This is a directoral debut from South Korean Lee Soo-seong its a new spin on the zombie sub-genre and this is a comedy with a slight difference Mr Zombie isn't trying to us mere mortals, no he's trying to save the dead souls that crave our flesh, crazy stuff but it does look good wholesome low budget fun....


Young-cheol loses his job and moves to a quiet town and works at a chicken restaurant. Near broke all he ever gets in the mail are reminders for unpaid bills. His wife tells him to send money, his daughter is embarrassed of her father, but when he thinks of his daughter in a wedding dress, he can't help but smile. A regular guest at his restaurant is a young man who is jobless. He always eats on credit. One day, his mom gets mad at him for not having a job and he bites her on the arm. After this, everyone in town starts to act very strangely. Young-cheol gets bitten and soon discovers the he, like much of the townsfolk have become Zombies. If finding out you're now a fully paid up member of the living dead isn't bad enough news, the loan shark he owes money too kidnaps his wife and daughter and threaten their lives if he doesn't pay up. For hurting his family, he prepares to fight against them. What kind of things will an undead, unkillable, man do...to save his wife and child?

Ukrainian Mayhem in YAKUZA'S GIRL(Doch Yakudzy).

No comments:
source TWITCH
We do like our oddball movies at Cinehouse HQ and Yakuza's Girl (Doch yakudzy) is certainly one of them. This movie is an combine Ukrainian/Japanese made movie which  pairs the director of Mongol Sergey Bodrov with the Mutant Girls Squad director/actor Tak Sakaguchi.

The movie can only be described as a gangster/yakuza comedy where the daughter of a yakuza goes missing and for some weird reason she ends up in Ukraine (possibly Russia)!!!

I dont really know much more than that, so check out the trailer after the break...

Trailer For The Collective Consciousness With...... 0000

No comments:
source Twitch
Unusal but different is how I would describe this indie sci-fi project. 0000 is the movie of director Eddie Alcazar and it's a project himself and his team has been working on for the last few years, get a concept work on it until things gel and become right.
Below( after the break) is some test footage  and it does look very impressive, bleak, dystopian most of all very unique and its helped it shot on a 16mm camera. The principal photography will start shortly in October, I just feel frustrated that alot of these movies which look so good Ill never see here in UK for reviewing or viewing purposes (unless some good soul would post screening copies)


The mind of one man will galvanize a global revolution. His technology will birth a new era of human existence and social connection, but this great gift is rooted in dark tragedy. If he is to survive, he will need the help of many, and if we are to survive, our awareness must grow.

First Look At The Pang Brother's CHILD'S EYE (3D)

source Filmsmash
The Pang Brothers are at it again with there third movie of their Eye Franchise with THE CHILD'S EYE (3D).
The brother's had a hit with the first movie and it was that sucessfull we even had a Hollywood remake with Jessica Alba in the lead role but for movie 2 they couldn't keep the momentum going. You could say they are asian horror's version of M.Night Shyalamalan great first movie and very hit or miss with the projects the coame after it it (solo as well as together).
14th October the third installment will be out and could this be the movie to push them back up the ladder or will it be their The Last Airbender? Apart from having a poor sequel the movie has something  it against it already....Its in 3D!!!

The Child’s Eye 3D stars Elanne Kwong, Rainie Yang, Shawn Yue, and Ka Tung Lam.


Stranded in Thailand by the political uprising and airport closure, Rainie and her friends were unable to return home. Unwillingly, they stayed in an aged and shabby hotel.
Among them was Rainie’s almost-breakup boyfriend, Lok; Ling and her brother Rex, and Ciwi and her beloved boyfriend, Hei.
From the moment they checked in the hotel… they came across three weird children and a puppy, and strange things happened once after another………
