Trailer & Video Inteview For RESTREPO

source Screenrush
This weekend in UK, Dogwoof released the tense wartorn documentary RESTREPO.
The movie has been described as The  Real Hurt Locker with more tension & emotion, going into a war seeing  things from a different angle , trying to get a little more respect for the soldiers as the the movie also shows the postwar effect on soldier as well. But what the movie does do you come out with no respect for the politicans who sent the soldiers into this unjust war, hiding behind an excuse for making the war just when we know that its a curtain for the real reason.
Our good friends at Screenrush caught up with the movies director Tim Hetherington asking him about the pressures in creating a documentary in a warzone, Ive also included the trailer for the movie as well, as I dodnt post it previously.
Check out the video interview and Trailer after the break...

source Twitch
A new final trailer for Jose Padilha's ELITE SQUAD 2 (Tropa de Elite 2 ) went online the weekend the movie was released cinematically in Brazil.
The movie has had its fair share of critics who've tried to prevent the movie been released but those critics arent film ones but the police whom this film is about and the corruption within the force. To really piss off the police thousands of bootleg copies where made and sold on the streets and thats what i call a vote of confidence from the people!
Whatever the police where goint to do in attempt to stop the movie it wasnt going to suceed as people power won at the end of the day and Padilha has the critics backing with Berlin film fest awarding the movie an accolade!The actual movie does look good with a mixed bag of action as well as drama, trailer after the break...

Trailer For FOODLAND

sourceQuietEarth
FOODLAND is a tale of supermarkets, life spiraling out of control as well as show how pathetically stupid staff can be. Quietearth describe the movie as  "a cross between a coming of ager, a small town heist film and Kids in the Hall. Which is to say it looks distinctly Canadian." Well Im not Canadian so what there sense of humour is I couldnt tell you, best thing to do is check out the trailer!

Foodland follows a naïve grocery clerk, Trevor, as his life spirals out of control when he inadvertently helps his inept manger, Ian, rob the store. When the money is lifted off Trevor and Ian, they enlist the help of Glen, a slimy, incompetent detective, to retrieve the stolen cash. But events soon go awry and Trevor must now determine friend from foe, and get the cash back before it’s too late.

This should have been posted last week but I never received it via email but thanks to TrailerAddict here’s the UK Trailer for THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS NEST the concluding movie of the exciting Millenium Trilogy created by the Late Swedish Author Steig Larrson.

It may have not have been the best movie to start with as its a slow burner but it was still intense and exciting and like many movie trilogies its simply setting the movie up for its big finale.I do hope to check the 1st movie out before next month when the final movie arrives on November 26th.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest was directed by Daniel Afredson and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Lena Endre, Sofia Ledarp, Jacob Ericksson, Georgi Staykov and Annika Hallin.

RAINDANCE 2010: THE LAKE EFFECT Trailer

Since the start of my two movie blogs Ive discovered a rich tapestry of fantastic independent , world cinematic movies, discovering there is life outside mainstream cinema and personally at times I prefer it to the big boys. One Film festival which kicked off tonight in London is the Raindance Fillmfest and what I love about this festival is they showcase the great indie movies in and around the UK as well as the world, the give new talent a platform to showcase themselves and they do also give the ordinary person from the street a chance to enjoy some alternative movies too.
One movie which will have its world premiere will be THE LAKE EFFECT, a new movie Coming off its win at the Moondance Film Festival in Colorado, The Lake Effect has a stellar cast including Kay Panabaker (Fame), Ross Partridge (Baghead) and UK-native Tara Summers (Factory Girl). Part of the new crop of DIY filmmakers, director Tara Miele was eight months pregnant while shooting The Lake Effect, a film about parenthood.
Below is the trailer for the movie which will kick off on October 5th and 6th at Apollo cinema London. Also below is some new images as well the movies offical press release too.A big thanks to Jennifer Westin one of the movies Producers who sent me the email containing the info in this post.

Trailer For Icelandic Movie JITTERS (Oroi)

source QuietEarth
Icelandic Teenagers living it large in Manchester with JITTERS (Oroi), not much happens in the trailer which can be seen as a good thing as theres too many movies who have trailers who spoil everything! Sad that the movie looks at teenagers evaluting life, depression, you may cringe but too many people take there lives and this movie sort looks at the devasting effect a suicide has on friends & family.

On a trip to England, Gabriel meets Marcus, a free thinking, rebellious teenager. After returning home, it becomes clear to his family and friends that Gabriel has changed.



A series of unfortunate events causes Gabriel's best friend Stella to take her own life. Devastated by Stella's death, Gabriel falls into a black hole of despair and begins to reevaluate his life, which ultimately forces him to reveal his agonizing secret.

Theatrical Trailer For Award Winning Documentary MARWENCOL

Thanks to everyone keeping the faith with the blog as well the Peoples Movies, its been a hard time for all, I'm doing my best with a new job and now very limited time to post and been let down by several people who offered to help out and basically stabbed me in the back.
 There is however one person true to his word and helped me out thats Cinehouse supporter Pierre who alerted me to this, the theatrical trailer for MARWENCOL. This is a documentary is about Mark Hogancamp a man who was brutally assulted and beaten to a pulp left for dead leaving Mark with Brain damage and massive loss of memory. The documentary catalogues Mark's fascinatiing unusal road to recovery by creating 1:16 scale fictional town of Marwencol set in WW2 all created in his backyard and watching the movie you can see he has become consumed in the whole town.
The movie is also further evidence that people's road to recovery from a pyshical injury & psychological scars are different and the so called 'convental' way isn't always the answer.Marwencol is a captivating movie which you deeply connect with Mark and you do have the feeling you are on that road to recovery with him, its sad but deeply uplifting.
The movie has won numerous awards including SXSW, Cleveland, Seattle and Comic-Con Best Documentary Awards, so if thats not proof to check this out  well enough said. IFC Films will release the movie in USA on October 8th but no word on the British release, hopefully cinematically but more likely to be direct to DVD, trailer after the break....
