There's a few actors out there in movieland who may have a few years ago appeared in one or two good movies then disappeared of the face of the earth and suddenly there appearing in every tom dick or harry, Stellan Skarsgaard is one of those actors however he does choose better 'qaulity parts'.

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....
