The logos are coming to kill you in this bizarre trailer for Branded
1 June 2012 11:18 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
I have been contemplating how to write up the trailer for Branded since yesterday and figured, f#*k it, I will let the Schmoes have at it. Before you watch the trailer, know that this is a Russian produced movie and filmed with an English speaking cast. Branded stars Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor, Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Max Von Sydow. Here is the trailer. Still with me? The closest description I could come up with for this trailer is They Live crossed »

Shout! Factory Shows Even More Love to Horror Fans With the Announcement of Scream Factory
1 June 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There are a handful of kick-ass specialty labels out there who make a habit of bringing beloved genre classics (and sometimes not-so-classic classics) back to life on Blu-ray and DVD with releases that show real TLC for the films and the fans. Arrow Video, Blue Underground and Synapse are a few of the best, but one that ranks just as high on the list is Shout! Factory. Their mainstay has been older TV shows, but they also offer the Roger Corman Cult Classics line as well as a brand new co-venture with South Korea’s Cj Entertainment. They’ve just announced a new line called Scream Factory that will focus on releasing Blu-rays/DVDs of horror films and thrillers from the 1980′s. The debut releases due this September include Halloween II and Halloween III: Season of the Witch, both loaded with extras. As exciting as these will be the best news (for me at least) can be »

Branded Trailer Arrives
30 May 2012 2:34 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It was a little over a year ago that we first reported on Let Me In director Matt Reeves becoming attached to a remake of Ray Nelson’s paranoia-fuelled sci-fi short story Eight O’Clock In The Morning, which provided the source material for John Carpenter’s cult aliens-among-us thriller They Live. While not much appears to have happened with Reeves’ film yet, someone has beaten him to it – in spirit, if not actual origin – as the trailer for Branded demonstrates. Check it out below.Branded, written and directed by Jamie Bradshaw and Alexander Doulerain, posits a near-future dystopia where corporate brands have well and truly taken over (next Tuesday, then?) The populace is peppered with messages chock full of subliminal signals.Among those helping to pour the content into our willing consumer brains is ad executive Misha Galkin (Ed Stoppard).

Cannes 2012: Press Preview Report – The Grandmasters, Only God Forgives and Spring Breakers
28 May 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Despite being mysteriously listed in the Cannes schedule as simply ‘séance spéciale’, word quickly spread online and at Cannes that the festival had organised a special preview of exclusive footage to be shown to the press attending.
Described on the night by master of ceremonies Thierry Fremaux as an experiment (this was gleamed from the small amounts of French that I was able to understand) the event was a one off screening of trailers, teasers, clips and footage of upcoming films. These included a number of trailers that I won’t go into detail about here as they were all trailers already available online, such as Frankenweenie, Chimpanzee and The Brave but there were also a few exclusives too.
All the clips that played in the presentation had played in the preceding week in the market, in screenings that the press were denied access too. In fact, I had made »

Do The Wacky: Five Great TV Crushes
26 May 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The ‘will they won’t they?’ story is one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep audiences glued to the screen. From Sam and Diane to Ross and Rachel, an effective TV relationship can go on and off again until long after the viewers are sick of it. The TV crush covers a wide spectrum of events: tantrums, fireworks lingering looks, and pent up secrets to name a few.
Indeed, the addition of at least one love story is now almost mandatory in a long-running TV show, and while it can be clumsily handled and completely unbelievable, it can also add a solid emotional core and another layer to the characters in question
Here’s five of television’s greatest ever crushes…
Helga & Arnold
Hey Arnold! (1996 – 2004)
It’s not the most mature crush, nor the most stable, but few (if any) unrequited love stories make such great use »

On the Road | Review - Cannes 2012

Director: Walter Salles Writers: Jose Rivera (screenplay), Jack Kerouac (book) Starring: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge, Elisabeth Moss, Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) -- protagonists of Jack Kerouac’s acclaimed novel -- hit the road. They travel across America from the east to west coast, back and forth. They live now and here, protest against the system, kindle their emotions and indulge in a hypnotic, sensual and narcotic journey. Before my first trip to Paris, everyone told me over and over again that I would be disappointed; that the city has nothing in common with the portraits by the painters from Montparnasse, nor is it as poetic as in the bizarre novels written by Henry Miller. Maybe it was true; however, my vision of Paris was so enormously strong that when I eventually got there, I saw »

Top 10: Aliens on Earth movies
23 May 2012 12:27 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
With Men in Black 3 hitting UK cinemas this week we thought we’d take a look back through cinematic history at some other movies featuring other-worldy beings here on planet earth and compile a Top 10 of the very best.
1) E.T. (1982)
The grand-daddy of aliens on Earth movies, Steven Spielberg’s E.T. is a classic example of the space alien movie in which a meek and alienated little boy finds a stranded extraterrestrial and has to find the courage to defy the authorities to help the alien return to its home planet.
2) They Live (1988)
If E.T. is an example of a good alien-human meeting then John Carpenter’s They Live is the exact opposite as a drifter, played by wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, discovers a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the fact that aliens have taken over Earth.
3) The Blob (1988)
1988 was a good year for alien invasion movies, »

Ten Ways To Survive An Alien Invasion
23 May 2012 6:48 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Barely a year goes by that our cinema screens aren’t attacked by some cheeky alien menace. And this year is no exception, as the long-awaited Men In Black 3 is set to hit the multiplexes later this week. This time around, Agent J (Will Smith) travels back to the 1960s to tackle a particularly nasty alien thingy.
As we await the movie, now is a good time to reflect on some of the past alien attacks on this planet we call Earth. And in preparation for the latest extra-terrestrial assault, we could take a few pointers on just how to survive the next alien invasion…

The Hard Sell: BT

'It'll be that smile that keeps Simon warm through the student holidays when he's alone, smelling Anna's pillow'
It's over. Adam and Jane – the BT couple who lived out their ups, their downs and their amazing phone and internet service from BT in six years of adverts – are no longer on our TVs. But their son Joe has moved out to university, and is now caught up in an increasingly dark love triangle between himself and flatmates Simon and Anna. They live in a clean and spacious student flat. No one is eating beans from the tin or ironing their clothes using hair straighteners, and Anna makes a cup of tea without smelling the mug first. Something's not right.
When Anna reveals she's "a Duran Duran fan" (because every 19-year-old girl can't get enough of your mum's favourite band) Simon pitches in: he's really into Duran Duran too. He's not, »

Broken
18 May 2012 9:32 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Rufus Norris's drama of dysfunction and pain is often strained and self-conscious, but newcomer Eloise Laurence is a real find
There are some good ideas, strong moments and a blue-chip cast in Broken, the feature-film debut from award-winning theatre and opera director Rufus Norris. But they somehow don't come together successfully in this drama of dysfunction and pain, which too often looks strained, desperately self-conscious and replete with unconvincing and unearned emotional crises.
The star is newcomer Eloise Laurence, playing an artless, intelligent and likable 11-year-old girl called Skunk. She is the movie's real find, a natural screen performer. Skunk is the daughter of Archie (Tim Roth), whose wife has left him. He is developing feelings for his child minder, Kasia (Zana Marjanovic), whose boyfriend Mike (Cillian Murphy) is one of Skunk's teachers. They live in a suburban close which is turning into an emotional minefield because of the resident problem family. »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to John Carpenter
17 May 2012 11:16 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"I met him…15 years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes...the devil's eyes."
"I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply ... evil." –Dr. Sam Loomis (Halloween, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill)
There is an upper echelon of horror directors that fans of the genre hold in a sacred reverence. Rightfully at the top of the list are the filmmakers who created the most iconic and memorable of our favorite films. One could argue that just the fact that John Carpenter created Halloween would put him into »

20th Century Fox Takes Wool
17 May 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
20th Century Fox has plans to adapt Hugh Howey's popular Wool series into a feature film, Deadline reports. Originally published an ebook series, the first novel is officially described as follows: They live beneath the earth in a prison of their own making. There is a view of the outside world, a spoiled and rotten world, their forefathers left behind. But this view fades over time, ruined by the toxic airs that kill any who brave them. So they leave it to the criminals, those who break the rules, and who are sent to cleaning. Why do they do it, these people condemned to death? Sheriff Holston has always wondered. Now he is about to find out. Ridley and Tony Scott.s Scott Free Productions is set to develop the property alongside Garrett Basch and Steve Zaillian of »
Julie Delpy: 'Hollwood hates me'
14 May 2012 3:08 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
She's been fired by every acting agency in town, refused an invite to Vanity Fair's Oscars bash, even pimps wouldn't fund her films … so how is Julie Delpy still making movies?
Julie Delpy wrote 2 Days In New York because it struck her, looking around, that most Hollywood romcoms were hilariously awful in their depictions of women her age. That is, women in their late 30s and early 40s. The Anistons and Barrymores who, on screen at least, are still "having the problems of a 25-year-old. Like, should I date him, should I not date him? Should I have sex with him but tell him I don't like him? Ok. I mean, I have friends who are still single, but even they don't ask themselves those kind of questions. They've evolved into something else."
Delpy is 42. She has a three-year-old son with her boyfriend, Marc Streitenfeld, a composer. They live in La, »
