Alice &the White Hair Short - Wyatt Dennys vision of the classic Lewis Carroll story

source QuietEarth
If you are like myself very dissappointed on the recent Tim Burton version of Alice In Wonderland maybe this will cheer you up, well for the adults. Wyatt Denny has created a independent short where The Mad Hatter and co have been replaced sex,drugs and Russian Roulette in Alice & The White Hair.
Alice is now a callgirl and walkouts of clubs with guys who look like something out of a marylin manson video, The tea party is now a crazy game of Russian Roulette!!! This is an stylish, contemporary modern twist to the classic Lewis Carroll story, come to think of it the original was a bit of a strange affair as well!!!
Visually this is good stuff plenty of eye candy plus full of up to date effects which dont overstate the movie but just blend in nicely. This movie is 15 minutes long and does suit the style of this adaptation, so enjoy!!!

Trailer for Australian Noir THE SQUARE

Source TwitchFilm
Australian Cinema has always had a decent reception in UK over the past decade or two. If you switch on UK television you'll find 1 in 3 soaps are Australian and more recently on Scottish television we've had Underbelly a violentish crime drama. But when it comes to America it's not as great though that could change with THE SQUARE.
The Square is an stylish crime drama about Raymond a man tangled up in a love affair with Carla, a beautiful but troubled woman. She tests Raymond's moral limits when she brings him the cash earnings from her husbands latest crime dealings. They have once chance to go it alone, take the money and run...
The movie has been directed by stunt man Nash Edgerton, brother of Joel who is in the soon to be released awesome Animal Kingdom as well playing the Kurt Russell role in THE THING prequel.
This movie played at last years London Australian Film festival but there's been no theatrical release (or maybe we blinked and missed it), but American movie fans can see the movie on a limited release on April 9th with a possibly full release in May. Canadian movie fans will see a theatrical release on April 16th.

Trailer for Brazillian sci-fi Short ANALOG

ANALOG trailer from Ebbëto on Vimeo.

Above is the trailer for sci-fi short ANALOG created by Brazilian director Ebbeto.

The short movie is the second movie from this director and the short is currently doing the rounds at the film festivals and is getting some fantastic feedback. The movie can only be described visually as a minimalistic metropolis meets 1984 with a bit of Tron thrown in for good measure.

Analog is a film that  tells the tale of a machine travelling in deep-space which has as a primary function the preservation of a living organism: a man. Strange events with biblical analogies begin, disturbing the machine and making it rethink it's priorities.

I have a funny feeling it played Glasgow Film Festival last month and if it did ill go crazy, this just looks stunning. I tried to see if the full short was online but my search was unsucessfull.
