Daniel Bruhl's name became even more well known after last years Inglorious Basterds, before then more known for German/ Spanish movies. In the Basterd's he played  the charming but pyschotic Frederik Zoller but now we see him in a different light in EVA.
In this movie he plays Alex a cybernetic engineer who is asked to work on a robotic child and though we may not be used to seeing Bruhl in a part like this, this movie does look very good.You will see a little A.I resemblance with the robot child connection but overall this Spanish flick has a little more oompf than A.I as it looks evenly balanced from the actors, cgi even right down to the score, a good movie with a character story.
Read the synopsis and check out the trailer after the break...

The Year 2041.

Alex, a renowned cybernetic engineer returns to Santa Irene to carry out a very specific mission for the Robotic Faculty: the creation of a child robot. During the ten years he has been away from there, life has moved on for his brother David and for Lana, who after his departure, got her life back together.

By coincidence Alex's routine is altered in an unexpected way by Eva, who is Lana and David's amazing daughter. She is a very special, charismatic little girl. She and Alex have a special connection from the first time they meet.

They set out on a journey together, which will bring to them an revealing end.

EVA tells the story of a return, a reencounter and a loss.

I Had a really busy day working on The Peoples Movies blog and it was going on 1 am  so I decided not to post this but roll on a few hours we now have not just trailer one but trailer 2 for Jiabei Zhang's MIDNIGHT HEART/PULSE.

What's good and unique about this movie, it has a twist....its completely silent giving the whole movie a real errie feeling which is great as it's a horror! but roll on trailer two we have sound and its alot darker and twisted...better

Is this Hong Kong gone J-Horror? well slightly true as the production company have hired some japanese expertise. Don't know much on the movie apart from it's based in a hospital nd even the movies stars are not saying a word either which could suggest this is something bigger been created. It does have a few big names involved with Simon Yam and Frances Ng is it a major viral? Well whatever it is Midnight Heart is out in Hong Kong in September, trailers after the break....

This trailer is very powerful, dark, tense, suspenseful but most of all fantastic! The Looking Glass has been described as "dark fairytale weaving together magic, mystery and suspense which follows Paul on a dangerous journey to a strange nocturnal world peopled by exotic beauties, criminals, and grotesques."
directed by Colin Downey starring Patrick O'Donnell and Natalia Kostrzewa. with a dude in it who looks more scarier than Freddy Krueger!!!

Paul is a troubled young man living in a rural cottage with his pregnant girlfriend, Clare. While dealing with the sudden arrival of his sinister mother-in-law and coming to terms with his impending fatherhood, Paul constantly struggles to escape the traumas of his childhood.
