DVD Talk Interview: Breck Eisner

www.dvdtalk.com — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:09:03 UTC

The Crazies isn't like any other standard horror remake, it's actually not just good, but very good. In fact, it may very well be better than the original. Director Breck Eisner has expanded upon George A. Romero's original film and has turned in a worth while remake. This is an extremely well crafted,...

Quint is disturbed (in a good way) by Australian horror flick THE LOVED ONES at SXSW!

Quint — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 09:35:09 UTC

Quint is disturbed (in a good way) by Australian horror flick THE LOVED ONES at SXSW! Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. There's a bit of an Australian invasion going on at the moment. One of my favorites from SXSW last year was THE SQUARE by Nash Edgerton and two...

Louis Leterrier Confirms He's Officially In The Running To Assemble THE AVENGERS!

mrbeaks — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:11:13 UTC

I just finished an interview with CLASH OF THE TITANS director Louis Leterrier, and, wouldn't you know it, the topic of him directing THE AVENGERS came up! Now, Leterrier has lobbied in the past for the gig, but I'm pretty sure today is the first time he's revealed that he is on Marvel Studios' official...

Best of Penn Says: Religion

www.dvdtalk.com — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:06:12 UTC

When discussing a movie, or in this case a series of shortvideos that originally 'aired' on the web, about religion I think it'simportant to know where the reviewer stands on the subject going intothereview. So I'll confess that I'm anatheist, and that I'm a fan of Penn & Teller. I'llsidestep the...

Landon Palmer — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:39:58 UTC

On Sunday I sat down with the directors and subjects of the SXSW in-competition documentary Pelada, about one couple's journey around the world examining the regional differences and similarities in soccer pickup games across the globe. I know nothing about soccer and little about other sports, yet I...

Brit indy horror SALVAGE: Review

www.24framespersecond.net — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 09:15:19 UTC

Director: Lawrence Gough. Review: Adam Wing. If I was to tell you that Salvage is written by Hollyoaks scribe Colin O'Donnell, taking place on and around the set of Brookside Close in Liverpool, you'd be forgiven for moving onto the next article, forgiven but ultimately foolish. Salvage is the debut...

SXSW Review: Winter's Bone

Landon Palmer — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:54:13 UTC

One can see why the people of Sundance loved Winter's Bone enough to give it the Grand Jury Prize and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. Upon initial appearance it's exactly the type of independent film beloved at the festival in Utah that later goes unnoticed by the rest of the world. It seems that...

Warner Bros. Pictures has released two film clips for the upcoming action-adventure remake, "Clash Of The Titans" starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Gemma Arterton. In "Clash of the Titans," the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the...

John Campea (john@themovieblog.com) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:54:00 UTC

Earlier in the week, we had a video of the behind-the-scenes sneak peek of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" from the "New Moon" DVD. Now that the DVD and Blu-ray are officially out, the first scene from "Eclipse" has leaked online!

SXSW Interview: Greenlit Director Miranda Bailey

Brian C. Gibson — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 06:29:13 UTC

Director Miranda Bailey is a producer, and was told that her filmmakers wanted to make their film a "green production." Since Bailey is not in the business to lose money, she wanted to know if doing so would be any cheaper or easier. I don't think many businesses would want to operate with higher expenses...

SXSW Review: Higanjima

Brian Salisbury — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:31:08 UTC

Thanks to the Fantastic Fest at Midnight slate of films at this year's SxSW, greatest idea the festival has ever had by the way, I was able to see a Japanese vampire film called Higanjima. Would it be another title from the far east that struck my fancy, or would this vampire film just plain suck? Rimshots...

Caprica: Ghosts in the Machine

Amber Humphrey — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:37:19 UTC

Synopsis: In the latest installment of "Not Without My Virtual Daughter," Joseph journeys deeper into New Cap City and winds up in a nightclub run by a riddling cross dresser who's seen Tamara and believes that she might be the key to unlocking the game. Meanwhile, Daniel, almost positive that Zoe's...

SXSW Review: Greenlit

Neil Miller — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:10:08 UTC

As I've mentioned time and time again (and time again, mind you) in reviews of documentaries, there's a certain "lightning in a bottle" element to creating a cinematic experience out of a real life situation. It is impossible to manufacture a story where no story exists, and even more difficult to craft...

Chris Evans Offered Captain America Role

Neil Miller — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:46:24 UTC

As any comic book shop loitering chubby guy with a beard could tell you, Captain America is the top of the food chain in the Marvel Universe. Not in popularity, per se. That honor would probably go to Spider-Man. But in the patriarchal world of Marvel's heroes, Captain America is the leader. A nature-born,...

SXSW Review: Pelada

Landon Palmer — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:53:18 UTC

Leave it to non-fiction filmmaking to engross me in the story of a sports-related subject I previously knew and cared little about. That's exactly what the soccer documentary Pelada does, immersing me in a fascinating human story and being a damned impressive sports documentary at the same time.

SXSW Interview: Duvall, Murray, Spacek, and the Filmmakers of 'Get Low'

Landon Palmer — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 06:56:57 UTC

Wednesday afternoon I sat down with director Aaron Schneider, producer Dean Zanuck, and stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, and Sissy Spacek to discuss Get Low, in which Duvall plays Felix Bush, a curmudgeonly old man who plans his own funeral party while still alive in 1930s Tennessee. We sat down for...
