New Trailer For Yu Gu's THE KIDNAP
A new trailer for Yu Gu's "loosely based true Story" THE KIDNAP Has an new trailer which you can check out after the break. If your like me and believe television in uk& ireland is dominated by pointless reality programmes including x-factor that pop culture has taken a dive so its good to see a movie like THE KIDNAP. The reason why is down to the movies a gangland thriller with a cautionary tale about the horrific price you can pay for the quest for fame has just opened in China, and theres a new trailer to take a gander at. Kidnap centres on two young women named Nana and Lin who aspire to become famous singers and sign deals with the same record company. Nana becomes an overnight superstar after sleeping with her boss. But Lin's career faces a crisis when she refuses to do the same and is kidnapped and terrorised by gangsters.

Trailer For Israeli Slasher RABIES (Kalevet)
When its comes to Israel and the film industry we automatically connect them with social-political/war movies or even character driven drama but we never associate the country with slasher movies. The notion is changing with RABIES a new slasher movie from film directors Navot Papushado and Aharon Keshales, the later been a former film critic (you wonder now hes making the movies will he understand the pressures of a modern flimmaker, plus was he highly critical of moviesif so does he have friends?). When I first noticed the movies title I was expecting something of a thriller where the virus errupts within a human population but not a slasher movie, i'm a little confused in where the movies title is to do with the movie, do they have a rabid animal on the loose or a rabid human? Check out trailer after the break....
The First Trailer for Kar Wai Wong's THE GRANDMASTERS (Yut doi jung si)
When you sometimes talk to so called 'movie fans' about world cinema I just love the reaction they give, its all the same, the yawning expression, not interested, why? "Its Boring " "why?, its in subtitles!". What they meant there lazy and will only watch it when its either dubbed or be destroyed by a mediocre hollywood remake. I admit for a few years I was like that but now ive opened my eyes and I see some wonderfull movies so diverse in styles, decents stories,etc...
Today I clocked the new teaser trailer for Wong Kar Wai's The Grandmasters and going by what we see in this teaser trailer its fuel for those foreign movie haters. Okay that maybe a tad niave as this movie isnt even out in its homeland China yet (February 2011 according to Imdb), so it is expected to be in its native language only. When a Wong Kar Wai movie is coming out you tend to take notice of it, but he seems to let himself down a bit with his heavy handing of lengthy post productions and endless reliance on orchastrated set pieces. If youlove calligraphy you like this trailer as its all in traditional style Chinese writing but dont expect any any looks at what the movie has to offer as theres none at the moment.
Like the source of this post I agree dont be surprise if this appears at Cannes!

IFC Films Release THE Trailer For THE OTHER WOMAN Starring Natalie Portman
IFC Films via Yahoo have released the offical trailer for THE OTHER WOMAN which is directed by Don Roos and stars Natalie Portman, Scott Cohen, Lisa Kudrow and Lauren Ambrose.
The story of this movie is about Emilia (Portman) a lawyers assistant who marries her boss (Cohen) away from jealous ex-wife (Kudrow), she becomes pregent but sadly tradegy strikes as their newborn baby dies. Trying to come to terms with and coping with the grief she finds it hard to connect with her new stepson William (Cahrlie Tahan) but things are made difficult with Williams mum constantly intefering.
2011 is going to some year for Natalie Portman after several years of poor movies it seems things are looking up with Black Swan only 3 weeks away (21 Jan) and a certain Oscar nomination. She also has No Strings Attached, Your Highness and of Course Thor to look forward to but in personal life she is now engaged to Black Swan fellow producer Benjamin Millepied whom she is also pregent with so this movie is a good insight into some of the tribulations of motherhood she could experience.
This movie was originally called ‘Love and Other Impossible Pursuits based on a Ayelet Waldman novel which originally premiered at Toronto Film Festival in 2009 but dissapeared of the movie radar but now it will be released next week on VOD before its February 4th 2011 American cinematic release, nothing yet on a UK release. Trailer & new poster after the break....

THE TAINT - Watch The Full Movie Here
As promised last night Ill post a link which will let you watch THE TAINT online for today only as a Christmas present from the movies director Drew and its below, so please enjoy, have a great day all!!!
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE TAINT MOVIE
"Never Outrun Whats In Your Blood" Trailer For
The movie is a independent thriller about 4 friends who set out on a motorcycle adventure weekend, clocking up miles in an attempt to outrun their age and urban lifestyles. After bartering with a local land owner for a place to set up camp, they spend the night reminiscing over their wasted youth. The following morning they spot an ominous looking caravan, and decide to investigate. Within minutes, an idiotic prank leads to a series of brutal events and a deadly race for survival. A modern plunge back into the worlds created by movies such as 'Deliverance' and 'Southern Comfort' but with a gritty British twang. Kidnap, murder and a hidden past are just some of the reasons these four adventurers should have stayed at home. An action thriller that will make you question who the villains really are. You cant outrun what's in your blood.The movie also stars Shane Sweeney, Tom Geoffrey and Alex Edwards and Dean S. Jagger and the movie will get a limited cinema release on January 13th before its released on dvd February 7th. Its just ironic Charley Boormans dad John (and himself appeared in it) was the director of Deliverence, just surpise Boorman's not been in more movies or at least tv dramas, thats life for you!
Watch The Trailer For New Uk Indie Thriller LOW
Film producer Jamie Tighe has sent me the trailer for his new British independent hostage drama/thriller LOW. The movie stars Amy Comper & David Keyes and its another fine example that you dont have to have major movie budget to make a good qaulity movie as this one was made on a shoestring. The movie doesnt have a distributor yet but Ive seen below plus hearing the reviews of the movie have been positive its just a matter of time it gets picked up.
"A lonely city girl finds herself taken hostage by disturbed outsider. Miles from home she must not only escape her captor, but also protect a dark and dangerous secret."

Watch Horror Short THE HOUSE
Source CoffeeBreaks
I stumbled onto this website by accident and found this nice little 8 minute short movie called THE HOUSE.My first impressions of the name it was some homage to the cheesy horror comedy 1986 movie which had Norm from Cheers in it oh no this does pay homage to the classic slasher flicks like texas chainsaw, even more recent wolf creek. very effective way the filmmaker have used one location to create a very creepy surrounding backed by the equally creepy soundtrack,enjoy

Intense Final Trailer For Miguel Angel Vivas' KIDNAPPED ( Secuestrados)
sourceTwitch
Miguel Angel Vivas Secuestrados aka KIDNAPPED gets its final intense trailer which in cuts could be the closest movie to censorship cuts to A Serbian Film but its not as grotesque though but still disturbing. Vivas wants you to everything not miss anything and its all shot in 12 parts, so no blinking. The movie looks very intense, disturbing piece that must be seen as a whole to appreciate what Vivas is trying to do.
Jaime, Marta and their daughter Isa have just moved into a luxurious new house. Marta begins to prepare the dinner and puts a bottle of champagne on ice to celebrate the move. As night falls, three hooded men violently force their way into the house. Panic ensues and soon the real violence will begin.

UK Trailer For RABBIT HOLE
Metrodome have today released the UK Trailer for RABBIT HOLE the emotional drama directed by John Cameron Mitchell . The movie has been sweeping up the early nominations even the odd awards from the early awards ceremonies and its been a while since we could say Nicole Kidman in a good movie as its her performance as a grieving mother which is attracting alot of award attention. Also the movies director Mitchell raised a few eyebrows with his Shortbus movie which delved into the sexual relationships of New Yorkers, even Hedwig and Angry Inch a transexual punk rocker who fell in love with a rock star who stole her songs (Mitchell himself played Hedwig!), We can say Rabbit Hole may have a wider appeal than his previous though you cant deny the talent this director has.
RABBIT HOLE is due out in February 4th,2011 also stars Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller, Sandra Oh and Jon Tenney, trailer & synopsis after the break....

One day, she notices a handsome hunk in the office building across the street from hers trying to catch her attention with paper signs. She immediately picks up a scrap of paper and doodles back. A quirky romance ensues as she starts communicating with him by paper signs every day.
On the day when she finally has the chance to meet him in flesh and blood, however, she discovers to her consternation that this so-called romance has been an embarrassing mix-up on her part. The love notes this guy, Sean, has been writing are only meant for a sexy vixen working at the office above hers. He is oblivious to her existence, let alone their blossoming romance.
Just when Yen is ready to crawl back to her lonesome shell, her fate changes again. She is accosted by a beggar called Kevin in the park and is captivated by the sad expression on his face. They start talking and, before they know it, have become the best of friends.

Trailer For Japanese Indie Movie "Sensei o Ryuuzan Saseru-kai"
sourceNipponCinema
The great thing about independent movies they dont have to conform to genrerics expected from a mainstream blockbuster, the styleoffilming, directing, use of scenery, right down to the music. Free to express your own artistic license do it your way and when it comes to Japanese movies there is always the cheesy j-pop song half way in.
Sensei o Ryuuzan Saseru-kai is different as its a indie movie it doesnt have the illusive jpop song but the name in English for this movie “‘make the teacher miscarriage’ club” some people may find a little disturbing and even more that this movie is based on a truelife story. Several years ago a group of 7th grader schoolgirls created this little club who harrassed a teacher by re-arranging the furniture and even going as far adding chemicals to the teachers food! The teacher was actually pregent but thankfully the chemicals used salt & alum didnt harm the teacher or the unborn child but soon as the story broke out the media had a field day with the story and you can read the article.
The movie has been directed by unknown filmmaker Eisuke Naito whose only previous work was a short movie called The Prince Of Milk which did apparently tour some of the worlds film festivals.
Exsistence is Futile enter the maze of Life In Trailer for EXIT
Source TWITCH
When you check out your usual sources for trailers for new movies and when that source hasn't got a clue what the hell are they watching it can make it a little more intriguing to check out. EXIT is an Austrailan movie which seems to study life and the many doors we open , the many doors we close and the towns and cities we live in are a massive maze, we dont know whats next or behind that door the meaning of existence.
The movie has a big arthouse feel to it, then it breaks into experimentalist obscurity really hard to pigeonhole the story. The movie has a big inspiration from David Lynch, Darren Aronofksy so whats behind your door?

Watch HITLER KAPUT, A Russian Comedy which has Jean Claude Van Damme in it (apparently!)
In the traditional words of Monty Python..."Now For Something Completely Different!" Well it is if your the mussels From Brussels Jean Claude Van Damme. If you thought JVD's career had already slipped down into shitcreek wellits becomeing a real silly laughing matter now as he's been casted into Russian slapstick comedy(in 3d) Ржевский против Наполеона (HILTER KAPUT)!
Formerly called Napoleon Kaput Van Damme is to play a French Soldier under Napoleon's command but there isnt a still or a clip yet to prove he's actually in it apart from a clip from MTV Russia (sorry english subs) annoucing he will be in it.
Either Jean Claude Van Damme has plenty money to waste or hes in a dire desperation needing the cash this is total rank and any hope of reconciling his career will go out the window even if he does appear in Expendables 2. There's more chance of Mel Gibson winning forgiveness than JVD making a decent movie ever again after this!!!
Trailer and MTV Russian clip after the break....
Icelandic Dark Comedy STORMLAND Has a Trailer
sourceTWITCH
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.

Power Rangers Are GO! PW Creator with Trailer For Indie Flick DARK METROPOLIS
Dark Metropolis from Indican Pictures on Vimeo.
sourceQuietEarth
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.
