Spreading the News On Strange Little Films From Around the World.

To all my fellow critics out there, and anyone who’s felt the need to prop this film up – come on people, is this movie really that great?? I have to admit, having finally gotten a chance to see this year-end cinematic critical darling; I’m a little bewildered. Where most see brilliance, I see the wrong kind of artifice, and feel ambivalence. But I’ll get back to that. For starters, I’ll toss out some other semi-random thoughts that the experience of “Revolutionary Road” inspired…

When one considers the ideological chasm between the messages of most children’s films (Believe in Yourself!) and a lot of the highly touted films directed at adults (life is empty and hopeless), it gives one pause. Which is it? Yes, life can suck, and Believing in Yourself above all else is most likely a road to certain disappointment, if not worse. So are we lying to our kids? To some extent, probably. But on the flip side, how many times do we need to hear that it’s all for nothing? Wayne Coyne of the band the Flaming Lips, when commenting on his recent film “Christmas on Mars”, basically said that life is ultimat

BSG: Face of the Enemy Webisode 9 and Twitch appears on the Season 4.0 DVD!Yesterday

We’re one episode away from the conclusion of this round of BSG webisodes, Face of the Enemy. Two remain aboard the lost Raptor. But on to bigger and better things when it comes to Twitch and BSG!

Season 4.5 is just days away. Season 4.0 came out on Tuesday and if you’ve made your way through the extras on disc three, through David Eick’s Video Blogs, we’re pretty sure you’re going to see the first Twitch writer to ever appear on a DVD extra feature. Unfortunately for you guys and gals it’s me! I wasn’t up to putting this in the player but our lord and master insisted. You’ve seen our tag and quotes on DVD covers but hell yeah, we’ve got our name on screen now. I’m just sorry it’s my mug you gotta see this first time. Personally, I think it needed more Grace Park.

Hardcore fans who have watched these blogs previously have seen this footage that was taken when I was back in Vancouver for the SciFi Digital Media Press Tour. But here I am in all my digital glory after the jump. Onwards and upwards from here boys and girls.

Ip Man 2 Is A GoYesterday

I’m not sure if this is a good idea at all, but it seems the sequel to Ip Man, Donnie Yen’s new superb martial arts biopic, has been greenlighted.

Ip Man is one of the best martial arts films to come out in a long time, and it stands nicely as a single biopic that needs no continuation. But it’s making so much money that I guess Mandarin Films can’t help but push for a sequel. According to Variety’s report, the sequel also seems like a rush job, with production scheduled for June. But seeing as how the partnership of Donnie Yen, Wilson Yip and Sammo Hung has been incredibly fruitful, there’s definitely hope that the sequel will be as good, if not better.

Antonio Tublén And Alexander Brøndsted Invite You To Be ORIGINALYesterday

And the explosion of young Nordic talent continues - and continues to impress - with Original, the debut feature from film making duo Antonio Tublén And Alexander Brøndsted. We’ve long held the position that Anders Thomas Jensen unofficial position of ‘Lost Nordic Coen Brother’ but it looks like he’s about to have some competition for that title ...

Henry tries hard to blend in. Most of his life, he has been acting the human chameleon, which has turned him into a pale reflection of other people’s expectations. One day, after having brutally failed and crashed straight into reality, Henry’s best friend Jon talks him into opening a restaurant with him in Spain. Goodbye rain and depression, hello tapas and sangria! Before leaving, though, Henry needs to fix a few things: kidnap his mother from a mental institution, find love in a king-size bed in IKEA, and uncover the truth about his best friend. But nothing turns out as expected, and Henry is caught up in a maelstrom of strange events. Could it be so that he is an original rather than invisible?

The full trailer and an extended scene for this have tu

You’d Best Behave Yourself Or Kevin Sorbo Will Hit You With A Goat.Yesterday

[We’ve been promised a look at the evil sorceress and some new characters soon along with something major over the weekend but in the meantime the gallery has been updated with a further quartet of stills from Sorbo, Ordway et al.]

Just a couple days ago we were fortunate enough to share the first few character shots from Albert Pyun’s long-in-the-works sequel to classic 80’s fantasy flick The Sword And The Sorcerer, the new film being titled Tales Of An Ancient Empire. Those first shots were taken from rehearsals and were shared purely to give fans a look at the characters and feel of the world but now we’ve got the real thing: a trio of production stills taken from the second day of principal photography. No sign of Christopher Lambert yet but we do have some very good looks at lead actress Melissa Ordway as Tanis and Kevin Sorbo as Aedan, threatening someone with a big hunk of meat. Suddenly I’m hungry.
