I dont mind dance themed movies that have some sort of story behind other than dance, films like step up which are pure dance movies and tough they performers are very talented they dont just interest me especially when your bombarded on tv with programmes like Britian's got talent your bombarded every minute of theday. So FUNKYTOWN is a movie set in 1976 Montreal when punk and disco where the music to listen to but disco was the more popular mainstream choice when studio 54 inspired clubs ruled the roost along with sexual freedom. The movie is based around the Limelife Discotheque where if your into disco and you wanted to mingle with the celebs this was the place to go.
The movie is very dark, sexy and for adults as well those who love Saturday Night Fever as this seems to mold into a similar style movie and they do it well. The movie is in French and directed by Daniel Roby and stars
Patrick Huard, Paul Doucet, Raymond Bouchard, Sarah Mutch, Justin Chatwin, Geneviève Brouillette and François Létourneau.
Funkytown is set for a 2011 release, check the first teaser trailer after the break,...

For some time now, Threshold has been attempting to get filmmakers to pay licensing fees for the song. According to the new copyright infringement lawsuit, the producers have rejected doing so. According to Threshold's LA lawyer, Neville Johnson, the producers claimed that since the song was part of a real-life documentary, it was a "fair use" of the copyright.Since the documentary was picked up the marketing was good in the sense t was only spoon feeding you enough footae to make you go to check the movie out due to its cliffhangar, but if things go Threshold Media way the truth of this documentary (or will it be mockamentary) may now come out and actually could question what could you consider to be documentary and whats not.
But what if those were staged scenes - and filmmakers knowingly exploited a copyrighted song? Wouldn't the "fair use" defense crumble?

Anyone that knows me I love my zombie flicks and im not affraid to say Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead is one of my all time favs (up there with the original of course!). The movie & tv world seems to be dominated by vampire movies/series which now are getting a little bored but as i said cant beat something from the undead and with The Walking Dead doing the rounds on tv, its time to see some more flesheater on our screen.
DEADHEADS is from the mins of the Pierce brothers (Brett and Drew) and its a zombie buddy comedy movie which actually look really good and its a shame i wont probably see it unless the movie get some sort of release in uk (more likely dvd). People will say zombies ... boring!!! Think again with this one its different its a road movie which has two zombies during a zombie epidemic looking for lost love whilst been tracked by agents with different agenda than theres!!! Good to be different, zombie with some brain cells functioning.
