UK Trailer For MAMMOTH starring Michelle Williams & Gael Garcia Bernal

Soda Pictures have sent me the new trailer for MAMMOTH starring Michelle Williams and Gael Garcia  Bernal which is getting a limited release in UK & Ireland next Friday 5th November.
Dysfunctional families seem to be one of the big movie topic especially in the independant/world cinema with Kids Are All Alright ( lesbien couple with kids trying to contact their biological father) and early next year Animal Kingdom about the youngest of a  known criminal family who doesnt want to be in the 'family business' and is pressurised to blag on his family to the cops.In Mammoth Leo(Bernal) is an owner of a booming gaming website and Ellen a emergency nurse  and they have a 8 year old daughter who seems to spend more time with the Fillipino maid (Marife Necesito) who works long and hard to send money home for her 2 sons. Leo heads to Thailand for business and what happens there sparks of a string of events that lead to consquences to all of them.
Mammoth is directed by acclaimed  Swedish director Lucas Moodysson ( A Hole In My Heart, Container). Apoligies to Soda Pictures for taking so long to post this. You can catch Mammoth at Odeon Convent Garden London and Screen Dublin

Part 3 of GASPAR NOE'S Of Making of Enter The Void

VBS.tv have sent me the third part (and final one) of the short documentary of the Making of Gaspar Noe's ENTER THE VOID. Vice went to Tokyo to try and find the notoriously secretive director while he was filming 'Enter the Void'. The resulting film sees how Gaspar was shooting a film in the sex clubs of Tokyo using the Japanese Yakuza mafia as his “locations managers”, hanging out with him in and asking him about his project. This film is an incredible insight into Gaspar and the location in which Enter the Void was filmed and the entertaining nature of the films should definitely keep your readers' attention.

Part 1& 2 can be found here

Old School Style chiller from Vassilis Katsikis in LURK

source Quietearth
You could say this is back to basic old school style chiller many others like myself call it a mindf**k, a pyschological thriller. LURK is directed by Greek filmmaker Vassilis Katsikis   who had a Greek box office hit in 2008 with the documentary CCTV. Now Lurk is his next venture and he has the dream of breaking into English speaking film industry and this has been filmed in his homeland but its all in English! Will this be a sucess in English speaking countries? Im affraid until he has well known faces be it the indie movie circuit this will be another miss.
As for the story of the movie its about a woman called anna (Tess Jackon-Spentzos ) whose home is invaded by a mysterious creature which turns her life upside down charming her first and eventually making her turn against her husband and eventually herself.
This trailer could make you go loopy lou trying to decipher what its all about!, trailer after the break....

LIFF 2010: THE TILMAN STORY Review

Trailer For Swedish Horror PSALM 21

source 24FPS
Swedish movie of lately have been big hits outside there native lands with the Millenimum Trilogy starring Noomi Rapace been te most notebale and like after any sucessfull movie you look to that countryfor a possible next hit.
Psalm 21 I wouldn't say will be a massive hit outside Sweden but its one of those movies which will give any sane adult a few brown trouser moments! The horror movie did the rounds of 2009 festivals to some positive reviews and November 5th its gets its cinematic release in Sweden.
This is a real creepy chiller flick which you know will have many satanic twisted moments when your lead actor is playing a priest, plenty of questions of faith thrown in as well. Its one of those movies you know you want to check it out but dont know why!

From Blade Runner to Guiness Adverts, now Arthouse Rutger Hauer in Fleur Boonman''s PORTABLE LIFE

source Quietearth
Rutger Hauer will be known to many as the pyschotic killer cyborg in Blade Runner then remembered for been the man in black in the popular Guiness tv adverts during the 1980's and now he's doing arthouse in Fluer Boonman's PORTABLE LIFE.
The movie is wonderfully shot and since the era I called my 're-education' in movies I do love watching these arthouse type movies many are fantastically weird others terrible and curiousity drives you to watch.

Portable life is been aimed for a February 1st 2011 release in Netherlands, trailer after the break...
