Impressive Trailer For BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW

Source HeyUguys
I spotted this a few days ago and quickly had a glance at it and believed it was only a cool looking music video but its actually a cool teaser trailer for a movie called BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW by Panos Cosmatos. The movie is set in 1983 and is inspired by the emotional backdrop of the Ronald Reagan era and childhood memories of midnight movies and saturday morning cartoons.
Visually this is stunning and the synth soundtrack by Black Mountain's Jeremy Schmidt gives the movie that haunting intriguing amotspheric feel. Been a kid of the 1980's in UK I can relate to the visual & audio stylings of the movie and with many of todays youngsters also inspired by sound and fashion of the generation maybe Beyond The Black Rainbow you may find entertaining.
Beyond the Black Rainbow is due to be premiered at the Whistler Film Festival canada Friday december 3rd, check out the synopsis & trailer after the break....

Musical Terrorism For Our Ears - Trailer For SOUND OF NOISE

Source TWITCH
"The Hills Are Alive With Sound Music...dahhhhhh!!!" when you think of music in movies Julie Andrews in the sound of music is a movie that comes to mind, but what if that movie isnt a musical but its musical based? You might be saying "wtf!?"
So what if you mixed up the London west end musical of Stomp with terrorists and a heist movie and what do we get?.....SOUND OF NOISE
When your going to hold up a bank for ransom do what stomp do use whatever is around you as a musical instrument and given your hostages a little musical rendition to ease the pain of the robbery rob the bank but no uncores. These criminals turn the whole city there in into one big musical can you imagine if Jacques Mesrine  when he used to rob to banks next door to each other belting out a French musical classic?!
Sound of Noise has been getting its plaudits since its first screening at Cannes and his swept the awards in its genre when it done its journey around this years festival circuit. The movie is very different and gives a new fresh look at heist movies and when you watch it first you do get an impression its a musical viral but obiviously its not and if its winning the awards its a movie you may want to check out when it'll hopefully make a stop at arthouse/indie cinema near you.
Sound Of Noise is due to be released in Sweden on December 25th, check out the synopsis & trailer after the break...

Mel Gibson may not be the man of the moment due to his much publicised private life but his old movies attracting a lot of attention and one has been remade in asia. You maybe looking at his movie cv thinking it must be Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Patriot or even Signs, nope! His foray into romcom in 2000 with Helen Hunt with WHAT WOMAN WANT!!!

Asia is going through a phase of remaking Hollywood movies with a Japanese version of Ghost already been made and a few others on the cards as well. The whole thing with these Hollywood  remakes is all down to a recent deal  which see several big named movies getting a asian makeover but I dont blame the asian film market for trying as hollywood has been for years destroying many fantastic asian/world  cinema movies with mediocre version.

So above is the first trailer and the movie will be released in China on February 14th, 2011.

Fred Wang (Andy Lau) is the top gun of the leading ad agency has his mind fixed on promotion to creative director.

Trailer For Indie Drama I LIKE YOU

source TWITCH
What is now regarded as a indie film compared to a few years ago has drastically changed. Independent movies was the perfect platform for inspiring actors to get there first break in but now what is regarded as independent now days is different, your moviecan now have some of the top earners on the cast list whilst many unknowns loosing a chance to shine. So when a movie like Jamie Heinrich's  I LIKE YOU appears its a breath of fresh air to watch something thats been created in the true spirit of independent movie.
I Like You shows stylings of a Gus Van Sant movie and despite a few possible reworkings on sound this trailer actually looks really good. I love independent movies, its hard to say why its just one of those things you love.

Trailer For the uncensored SEX AND ZEN 3D!!!

Source Twitch
All around the world it seems film studios want to deceive us of our hard earned cash by creating more and more movies as 3d movies, 99% are just poor with about 1% good/ promising. At first there would only be an exclusive number of movies be released in 3d but now its anything and I mean anything, even sex films!!!
The latest edition to the endless list is the new reworking of the classic Chinese movie SEX AND ZEN now named 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Stephen Siu  the producer behind the original is also behind the new version with some sexy Japanese buxoms  Saori Hara and Reiko Suho leading the line for the female cast. The production does look ofdecent qaulity with some fun comedy  to give the movie a professional feel with a big remencisent to old 1970's sexploitation Japanese movies rather than cheap shoddy efforts.
If your a connisouer of Japanese adult movies (cough, cough) the movies have the genetailla pixelated but fear not here boys and girls its uncesenored! Enjoy!!

I really love Japan for many reason. The people are probably one of the most diverse societies in the world but also can be one of the most conservative. Kentaro Otani’s Runway Beat is based on a mobile phone story and only Japan could create a feature movie out of that story and taking an unusal subject and making it very accessible is what Japan is really good at and the movie is about Biito “Beat” Mizorogi(Koji Seto), a transfer student with a “genius” fashion sense gets together with some fellow classmates to create the schools fashion show which is part of the annual festival

He aint no Sinatra or Clooney, Trailer for unfunny OTTO'S ELEVEN

Source Twitch
When it comes to foreign comedies (non-english) there's very little that I actually laugh at and im sure our counterparts may say the same about english speaking comedy. OTTO'S ELEVEN which is an unfunny parody of Ocean's Eleven movie which to put it the way my work collegue would say ala west of scotland style "reeks of pish", so whos otto?
Otto is Otto Waalkes the creator and main star of this movie and he is one of those comedians who isnt funny no matter how hard he tries he's just shit at comedy as well you wont to punch his annoying face. But the real confusing thing is sometimes that unfunny person seems to be a leading celeb/comedian in his/hers homeland!!!
Otto's Eleven will be out in Germany on December 2nd in Germany, Do any German movie fans find Otto funny? let us know!

Demented Horror Trash in Trailers & clip For THE TAINT

source Twitch
If you love Troma and even early Peter Jackson movie style you'll get your kicks out of Drew Bolduc’s THE TAINT. This is not one for those who get easily offended, PC Brigrade, or anyone who hates 'cock explosions' (read the synopsis!).
This is b-movie madness and if it gets the right exposure could be added to those cult b-movie status a little like trauma has done in the past.
Below after the break is The Teaser & Full Trailer  from THE TAINT, just dont show these to Mary Whitehouse brigrade, you've been warned!!!

The water is tainted. THE TAINT poisons the minds of men. It turns them into raging misogynists: monsters who want nothing more than to KILL WOMEN. When society is transformed into a land of sadistic violence and horrible brutality, it is up to Phil OʼGinny and his female friend, Misandra, to combat the horrible evil that is "THE TAINT".



THE TAINT is an intellectual experience. It is a violent and misogynistic film about violence, misogyny, and entertainment. It features sadistic violence, gratuitous sexual content, and scenes of spellbinding dramatic interest. It also contains more cock explosions than any other movie ever.

Trailer For DIE Starring Elias Kosteas

source QuietEarth
I have a big appreciation for Canadian Actor Elias Kosteas he is fantastic in Matt Reeves Let Me In, I beleive hes very under rated and in DIE he will get the lead role.
The movie is the directoral debut for acton Dominic James ,  Emily Hampshire, John Pyper-Ferguson and Caterina Murino. The movies story plays of a pyschotic mysterious man who rolls a die or dice but the victims all wake up in a prison cell and must perform 'the trials' or face the fate of the dice but is there a connection between the victims? As the story unfolds the truth starts to appear.
My first impression reading the synopsis, its another twist on the Saw but more like the cube , exam meets 13 Tzameti, The idea of the movie isnt really original but hopefully they'll be able to create a new fresh approach to the idea and hopefully give this movie some sort of theatrical release and maybe this is what fans of franchise like Saw may dig, but a movie with a bit more itteligence than saw.

check out the trailer after the break.....

Six people, each of them is on the road to self-destruction. They wake up in cells in a surreal facility, without knowing how they got there or why. Are they in denial? Are they crazy? What happened? As they try to figure things out, a mysterious man forces the six abductees to participate in a disturbing experiment called the Trials. During the experiment, the unwilling participants will come to face disturbing truths about themselves and decide each others' fate in a game of dice. As the storyline unfolds, we discover that something greater connects them all.

Trailer For Swedish Zombie Flick ZON261

sourceQuietEarth
last Friday night saw the antcipated Frank Darrabont's The Walking Dead Zombie TV Show hit British television, its talk of the town within the media, its made zombies cool again (well according to the press, its always good in my books). So now I do expect a faster influx of copycat movies or tv shows just like any big movie that has such an impact on the viewing public and of course you'll get the good stuff, some okay stuff the rest just plain crap.

ZON261 is a Swedishpost- apoclayptic zombie thriller which does look like a mixture of 28 days later, The Horde and even Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead, what I get concerned about is the length of the trailers. For me a teaser trailer is anything upto to 1 minute and a actual full trailer is at least 90 seconds upwards usally 2 minutes long but when a trailer is 5 or 6 minutes long to me thats a spoiler, this trailer is nearly 6 minutes

.Scottish actor/ director (who is also the patron of my towns film society Paisley) is proud of his routes and when it comes to creating movies about his background he is one of the best, I may not agree with him politically but as in creating a part of Scottish life he is one of the best.Even though this movie is based in Scotland and Glasgow in 1970′s gang culture is the same anywhere in the world but sadly in some areas its worse than others. As for Scotland it still exists but sadly its more religous related than what area of a town you come from these days.

Teaser Trailer For UK Indie Horror GUINEA PIGS

One thing I used to remember about University life in Salford Near Manchester was the amount of ways a student could earn a few extra bucks without actually going for a part time job. The amount of research companies usually medical that offered the students x amount of money for getting involved in a few hours to days research which could be anything from testing stuff right upto sperm donors. In the past few years we have seen the rise of these medical researching going wrong and the volunteers or ‘guinea pigs’ either having bad reactions or even worse death, the catch for these companies they make you sign a disclaimer.

so what if your one of 8 volunteers that sign up for a drug research and things go wrong? If they do check out this snazzy little teaser trailer for GUINEA PIGS a new indie British Horror which was sent to me today by our good friends at Vertigo Films. I really do like the look of this its like a mash up of Paranormal Activity, possibly even 28 Days Later too, seeing the movie possibly through cctv cameras and we dont see alot but hints this will be bit on the crazy side working on the psychological factor.

Guinea Pigs is directed by Ian Clark and stars Alex Reid, Chris Larkin, Steve Evets, Jack Doolan, Amit Shah ,Aneurin Barnard and if your a student desperete for money maybe watching this maybe make you think twice about going for the ‘easy money’ with medical research. No offical synopsis or release date but we do know the movies set for a 2011 release.

Studio Ghibli To Announce New Project Mid- December

source Collider
 Koji Hoshino the president of the legendary Japanese Animation company Studio Ghibli confirmed at the International Rome Film Festival that they'll announce there new project in New York on December 15th.
This is fantastic news as rumours that the iconic company may have to cut the studio staff down to a minimum which would mean the end of great animation but now the rumours would start on what that next project could be. One of those rumours is that possible movie could be a sequel to Porco Rosso or the other talk was it could be a project by the godfather of Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki.
1992 was when Porco Rosso was released and the possible project could be named Porco Rosso: The Last Sortie  with the movies protaginist flyinging into the Spanish Civil war and if this is to be the project it would be the studio's first ever sequel. As Ghibli was my introduction into the fantastic world of Japanese Anime I have followed the studio religiously  and like the source of this post I agree that this may not be the new project they'll annouce next month as Hoshino didnt seem to be very serious about the project as well this new one even going into development!

“If next two films succeed and Suzuki-san lets me make it (Porco)…It cannot be helped because it’s a hobby of the old man, I’m happy. It’s my hobby.”  -  as quoted in  Nausicaa.net, and looking at that quote it looks like that was referring to The Borrower Arrietty and  Isao Takahata's Tale of The Bamboo Cutter which is been directed at this moment. After Ponyo Miyazaki did say he planned to release another 2 movies and though Porco Rosso was a good movie it isnt one of the studio's best movies and hopefully Porco Rosso 2 wont be his next project but a “tragic story about a boy” which the vetren animator has always desired to make.

The whole look of the movie I get that 28 Days Later feel rather than dawn of the dead and the Godspeed! My Black Emperor style music really helps the movie too.

Teaser Trailer For HIGH KICK GIRL (Hai kikku gâru!)

I got a little confused on exactly when this was made and speaking to a few friends who follow Japanese Movies/Culture passionitely they told this wasn't out yet and there right. HIGH KICK GIRL (Hai kikku gâru!) stars Rina Takeda  and as far as if this is a reboot or sequel, its hard to telll as there little info on the movie apart from “A girl’s revenge, born in Yokohama”, and the story revolves around a black belt which once belonged to a legendary karate master named Soujirou Kurenai and has since been passed down through generations of his family. 200 years later, a battle over the belt begins in Yokohama.
One thing we can see, she maybe a schoolgirl but you dont mess around with her or she'll kick your ass!!!

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....

LIFF 2010: THE TILMAN STORY Review

Trailer For Swedish Horror PSALM 21

source 24FPS
Swedish movie of lately have been big hits outside there native lands with the Millenimum Trilogy starring Noomi Rapace been te most notebale and like after any sucessfull movie you look to that countryfor a possible next hit.
Psalm 21 I wouldn't say will be a massive hit outside Sweden but its one of those movies which will give any sane adult a few brown trouser moments! The horror movie did the rounds of 2009 festivals to some positive reviews and November 5th its gets its cinematic release in Sweden.
This is a real creepy chiller flick which you know will have many satanic twisted moments when your lead actor is playing a priest, plenty of questions of faith thrown in as well. Its one of those movies you know you want to check it out but dont know why!

From Blade Runner to Guiness Adverts, now Arthouse Rutger Hauer in Fleur Boonman''s PORTABLE LIFE

source Quietearth
Rutger Hauer will be known to many as the pyschotic killer cyborg in Blade Runner then remembered for been the man in black in the popular Guiness tv adverts during the 1980's and now he's doing arthouse in Fluer Boonman's PORTABLE LIFE.
The movie is wonderfully shot and since the era I called my 're-education' in movies I do love watching these arthouse type movies many are fantastically weird others terrible and curiousity drives you to watch.

Portable life is been aimed for a February 1st 2011 release in Netherlands, trailer after the break...

The End of The World is near in Trailer for German movie - Die kommenden Tage

source QuietEarth
I've been really desperete to get this blog up and running as regular again but with new job Ive been unable to do so but hopefully soon I can and lets kick off Sunday with this beauty Die kommenden Tage (The Days To Come).
At first I thought this was going to be another generic drama but as the trailer progressed it started to get alot better and when a very well known face to movie audiences in uk & north America appears Daniel Bruhl (though hes not a the main star in this) you have to take notice.
The Days to come is an family drama set in what looks like the collapse of the world and as the REM song goes "Its the end of the world ...as we know it!". this movie is perfect example of dont judge a book by its cover.
Die Kommenden Tage will be out in Germany on November 4th, stars Bernadette Heerwagen, Johanna Wokalek, August Diehl.

Trailer & Video Inteview For RESTREPO

source Screenrush
This weekend in UK, Dogwoof released the tense wartorn documentary RESTREPO.
The movie has been described as The  Real Hurt Locker with more tension & emotion, going into a war seeing  things from a different angle , trying to get a little more respect for the soldiers as the the movie also shows the postwar effect on soldier as well. But what the movie does do you come out with no respect for the politicans who sent the soldiers into this unjust war, hiding behind an excuse for making the war just when we know that its a curtain for the real reason.
Our good friends at Screenrush caught up with the movies director Tim Hetherington asking him about the pressures in creating a documentary in a warzone, Ive also included the trailer for the movie as well, as I dodnt post it previously.
Check out the video interview and Trailer after the break...

Final New Trailer Jose Padilha's ELITE SQUAD 2

source Twitch
A new final trailer for Jose Padilha's ELITE SQUAD 2 (Tropa de Elite 2 ) went online the weekend the movie was released cinematically in Brazil.
The movie has had its fair share of critics who've tried to prevent the movie been released but those critics arent film ones but the police whom this film is about and the corruption within the force. To really piss off the police thousands of bootleg copies where made and sold on the streets and thats what i call a vote of confidence from the people!
Whatever the police where goint to do in attempt to stop the movie it wasnt going to suceed as people power won at the end of the day and Padilha has the critics backing with Berlin film fest awarding the movie an accolade!The actual movie does look good with a mixed bag of action as well as drama, trailer after the break...
