There's something movies that the more dark the humour is the more I sadistically enjoy it, throw in a bit of obscurity Ill probably enjoy it even if I dont get the humour. Marteinn Thorsson's STORMLAND (Rokland) is one of those movies its based on a popular novel by Hallgrímur Helgason and is a story about a very bitter man from the northern part of the island. He is obbessed about the local viking legend, Nietzsche and the girl at the post office but when he looses his job at the school he takes out his anger online blogging about the locals, Of course there not happy and he ends up a social outcast.
The movie could easily be created by  Terry Gillam mixed in with some Big Lebowski totally crazy and they throw in a little animation which is fairly new for Icelandic filmmaking but not elesewhere. Check out the trailer above and the movie will be out January 14th in Iceland.

 Its just been released on DVD in USA/Canada DARK METROPLIS comes from the mind of Power Rangers creator Stewart St.John. The movie is set 300 years into the future when a race genetically created raised and abused by humans now finds they are the rulers, sont expect spandex multicoloured uniforms or big rubbery monster Dark Metropolis is like a cross between THX-1138 crossed with Dune and Dark City. Dystopian movies are usually quite miserable, bleak like 1984, Metropolis, etc.... but this does have those element but it also has a heavy dose of good old spiritual ethos thrown in "can I get a halleujah!!!"
Dark Metopolis stars Bailey Chase, Eric Scott Woods, Arthur Roberts and Ron Perlman.

Who said it was just Hollywood who could just create the big glossy blockbuster action flicks? No one did and if there somebody they never told Belgian filmmaker
Jérôme Salle. On 16th February, 2011 LARGO WINCH 2 will be released in Belgium a movie based on the popular graphic Novels created by Philippe Francq about a young man who inherits a massive empire after his adoptive father is murdered.
Is it me does this sound like Green Hornet mixed up with James Bond plus a few other movies im sure I can think off?!Im not saying this is a bad thing  well they do have a few leg openers in the form of some fantastic car chases and Sharon Stone (Cleese in south Africa and Kietel in SouthKorea, times must be hard here!).
Largo Winch comicbooks are really popular in the French speaking parts of the world but Forbidden Planet comicbooks do have in stock the english language version of the books!!!
LARGO WINCH 2: THE BURMA CONSPIRACY is out in Belgium on February 16th,2011 trailer after the break...
