Noomi Rapace in Family Drama Svinalängorna (Beyond)

 source Quietearth
This weekend saw the UK/Irish release of The Girl Who Played With Fire was released and ever since the movies which all 3 have been made (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest out in UK November 26th) Noomi Rapace has become one of the most wanted actress for her protryal of Lisbeth Salander. Its expected Rapace will soon take the step into Hollywood but before then there's still the matter of a movie on the homefront with Svinalängorna (Beyond).
The movie is set in the 1970's about a young womans experiences growning up in a household riddled with abuse and alcoholism, Rapace plays Leena who is now settled with her own family with her christmas shattered by the news of her mother is dying which rolls back the dark memories and first time visit to her mom in her adult life.
There's a great cast of Swedish actors (including Tehila Blad who plays a young Leena, she also played a young Lisbeth as well)  and despite the over dramatic trailer this is actually a very powerful drama which shows why Noomi Rapace is in demand by hollywood. The only shock is none of the big festivals have picked this up especially whose in it but Im sure it will be picked up some festival, however the movie is due to be released in Sweden on November 12th, trailer after the break...

tiff 2010: No Sonic Screwdriver’s here,Offical Trailer For WOMB

 source ThePeoplesmovies
The Playlist have posted online the trailer for the Benedek Fliegauf‘s indie drama WOMB. The movie stars Eva Green, the new Doctor Who Matt Smith , Lesley Manville, Peter Wright and Hannah Murray.
Rebecca (Green) has waited 12 long years to be with her childhood sweetheart again but only to loose him to an accident but now she can bring him back from the dead. The movie isn’t about a woman who can practice voodoo but the controversial look at cloning  and in this case human cloning and the ethical issues the cloning is raised.
The movie has a  mostly British cast with an Germany/Hungary/France produced movie which has been well put together highlighting the acting abilities of the movies main characters, I’m not Matt Smith’s biggest fan on the Doctor who side of things but outside the tardisI actually dont mind him as a actor. The movie does have a gentle charm to it but you do get the sense underneath the dark undertones of the movies subject matter.
Womb has just got itself a US distributor Olive Films so do expect somelimited release of the movie as for UK or Ireland no word yet but the next time the movie will be on a big screen will be next months Toronto Film Festival.

Source TWITCH
There's something of a charming feel about this movie despite been set in a backdrop of an steel works, I love the music too that gives the movie a real European edge even eastern european or even Juenet feel as the movies characters seem eccentric but also very likeable. Below after the break is a lengthy promo reel for Chinese filmmaker Zhang Meng's A PIANO IN A FACTORY.When you look at the setting of this movie it could really be anywhere as the world's industry is in decline and towns globally once thriving industrial centre are nothing more than a crumbling ghost town.

Zhang Yimou maybe known to many as the director behind big budget movies such as Hero, The House Of Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower but you really the trueYimou when he creates more human, senusal compelling movies like THE LOVE OF THE HAWTHORN TREE.
This movie tells the story of young love during the cultural revolution of China between a young man & woman of different economic backgrounds beautifully shot, masterfully told by a fantastic filmmaker. This movie will go down well in China as it celebrates a important part of the country's history and the movie will be released in China on September 16th.

Despite been released by Filmmax this is Carballo's first delve into the English speaking movies and in USA this movie is called The Possession of Emma Evans but in 2011 when the movie is due to be released again another similar movie of Possession of David O'Reilly, so now the main name is Exorcismus.

She longs for independence and a life free of family ties and responsibilities and she is prepared to do anything to achieve it. But one day she will be forced to face up to the consequences of her actions.

Life seems to be carrying on as normal, until one day Emma starts experiencing frightening fits. Her parents are convinced that her problems are either medical or psychological, but when doctors´ tests are unable to draw any conclusions, the family is forced to look elsewhere for answers.

It all started off as a bit of fun, Emma never really believed it, but the truth is there is something dark and sinister within her, and it won't take long to surface.

TIFF 2010:Trailer For Koen Mortier's 22ND OF MAY

sourceTwitch
Koen Mortier made a name for himself with his debut movie EX-Drummer a movie about disabled guys creating a  rockband who hire a local writer to play drums and all there new drummer can do is manipulate them. The movie gots a massive cult following worldwide and rightly so and now the Belgium director is back with a more shattering  movie 22 MAI (may) which is due to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
The movie centre's arounda security guard called sam who is a guard at a small shopping mall that becomes a victim of a terrorist explosion, its a more somber affair than Mortier's previous movie and I really love the slow motion of the trailer as when life changing events happen they happen fast and reality doesn't sink in but if slow things down you start to get a feel of whats just happened! Check out the first trailer after the break...

... While everything around him is burning, Sam tries his best to help. He drags a woman outside against her will. She is screaming, struggling to get back inside to save her child. But Sam is already back on the scene, trying to rescue other victims, all of them just as helpless as he is. They are strewn over the floor, covered in blood, their clothes shredded to pieces, feeling utterly lost. As their cries turn into screams, Sam is overpowered by fear and panic. First there was the shock, then the realization of what happened. Without thinking, he starts to run, turning his back to the apocalyptic scene. He flees, running along the streets of a city that once felt as familiar as a friend, but now seems more like a dark monster ...

If Bill&Ted was mashed up with Beavis and Butthead, what would the final result be? You would get Terry and Deaner aka FUBAR II!!The Canadian Cult flick is back for another dose of heavy metal madness from its two douche bags Terry & Deaner who are no-brainers, more interested in drink beer listening to metal music, having trash eviction parties, driving cars down snowbanks, the more insane you think the more likely these guys.
Beer, beer,beer,beer,more beer,beer,girls,beer,beer, beer, beer, girls, beers,rock music,beer, beer, girls, and did I mention Beer?
Honestly I didnt know much about this apart from its a cult hit in north America and the movie is due to have its debut at Toronto Film Festival before its release in Canada cinematically on October 1st.
