Filipino Prisoners Dance Their Way To The Big Screen
13 June 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
In 2007, a YouTube video featuring a horde of Filipino inmates who perform a well-choreographed version of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' music video became one of the year's biggest viral hits. It has scored more than 50 million views to date and has received extensive news coverage. Almost six years after that video, its incarcerated stars are making their big screen debut in Dance of the Steel Bars, a film loosely based on their proclivity for dance. Dance of the Steel Bars is actually a fictional movie about a wrongly imprisoned American and the bond he forms with a fellow inmate based around their shared love of dancing. I'm thinking it's somewhere between The Shawshank Redemption and Step Up. Director Cesar Apolinario shot the film at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, home of the dancing inmates. "This film talks about redemption, about brotherhood," he said. "I did not »

Image Conscious: A conversation with visual effects supervisor Everett Burrell
12 June 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with Primetime Emmy-winner Everett Burrell about his career, the visual effects industry and working for Look Effects...
Ray Harryhausen and Everett Burrell“Growing up my dad was a musician and my mom was artist,” recalls Everett Burrell who drew and painted as a child. “My little kids draw and paint now, and they’re only three and two. It’s in the blood.” A fascination with special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen (Clash of the Titans) expanded into a business venture with John Vulich (Lost Boys). “I was into creature effects and props when I was younger. I had a company called Optic Nerve Studios where I did zombies and creatures. I started playing with the computer in 1989 and I’ve loved it ever since. I loved the control and flexibility but I still respect effects. My heart is in the hands on stuff.” The interest in the »

Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1980′s
11 June 2013 6:34 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
As all lovers of crime, suspense thriller, war, western, horror and science fiction films know, creating a truly great cinematic villain is no easy task. When it happens, it’s virtually impossible to forget that character.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains of the 1980’s.
The criteria for this article is the same as my previous article Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970’s: the villains must be from live-action films-no animated features-and must pose some type of direct or indirect lethal threat. The villains can be either individuals or small groups that act as one unit.
The villains must be human or human in appearance, so no shape-shifting alien from John Carpenter’s amazing 1982 The Thing, no Aliens from James Cameron’s classic 1986 sequel and no Predator from John McTiernan’s beloved 1987 film of the same name.
Also, individuals that are the central protagonists/antiheroes »

Eric Roberts Joins The Human Centipede III: Final Sequence
29 May 2013 1:26 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Do we really need a third Human Centipede film? Thinking along those lines, did we even need the first one? Regardless of how deplorable the subject matter is for this franchise, someone somewhere must enjoy them. One of those people is probably Eric Roberts, who has just signed on to star in The Human Centipede III: Final Sequence.
Not a lot has been revealed about his role. On the film’s IMDb page his character name is listed as Governor. Whether or not that’s an actual Governor or a The Walking Dead-type narcissistic nickname remains to be seen. Three other additions joining Roberts are Tommy Lister, who made appearances in The Fifth Element and Friday; Robert Lasardo from Death Race and former porn star Bree Olson.
Chatter surrounding Roberts is directed at his occasional work in films that aren’t straight to video. He has appeared in The Dark Knight »

The Hangover Part III review: get pissed
23 May 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
It starts out with a joke stolen from The Shawshank Redemption, which runs directly into an action bit stolen from The Fugitive. Bizarrely, The Hangover Part III goes on to not steal again -- from Dude, Where’s My Car? -- the one clever conceit that made the franchise’s reputation, not to mention its name: there’s no hangover here, no mystery to be solved about the previous evening’s intoxicating adventures. It’s an odd choice for director Todd Phillips and his coscreenwriter, Craig Mazin (Identity Thief), as if they’d learned after the appalling Part II (which Mazin also cowrote) that they never should have made a sequel, so they decided that for Part III, which they also should not have made, they wouldn’t even bother to make a Hangover movie at all. Which must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Even though it’s like saying, »

The Hangover Part III review

Review Simon Brew 22 May 2013 - 06:13
The Wolf Pack returns for what's apparently the last outing. But does The Hangover Part III fix the problems of The Hangover Part II?
In their defence, at least they sort-of listened. The major criticism of the generally pretty terrible The Hangover Part II was that it was effectively a retread of the first film, just in a different location. The pieces of the puzzle were still pretty much the same, familiarity was at the core of what jokes it could muster, and the box office tills rang loudly.
For this third, and we're told final, outing writers Craig Mazin and Todd Phillips have come up with something else for The Wolfpack - Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and a bit of Justin Bartha - and they have a new mission as a result. No longer does the film start with a messed »

Oscars 2014: Predicting 10 Best Supporting Actor Nominees
21 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
For me, the Best Supporting Actor category is the most difficult category to predict this far out from the actual nominations. This is not atypical either as this category is annually, almost without fail, the toughest to foresee. The reasons for my particularly foggy clairvoyant skills on this specific matter are two-fold.
First, given the types of movies being made in this day and age, the abundance of choice supporting roles with potentially Oscar-worthy prospects is just ridiculous. They’re as plentiful as water in the ocean, and this plethora of promising performers, while a boon for fans of cinema, is a nightmare for an Oscar protagonist such as myself trying to pull off the illusion that I retain some unique insight into these awards that your regular laymen could never hope to attain.
This year’s crop of potential players makes this job an especially Herculean effort because they include so many recognizable names. »

13 Famous Movies You Had No Idea Were Based On Books
16 May 2013 7:52 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Euugh… books. Look at them, all glossy and printed. Now there’s a smug medium if I ever saw one. What are they, exactly? Flappy paper things with symbols inside them – is that supposed to be cool, books? Is it? Huh?
Year and years ago, it’s thought that humans used books for entertainment purposes. But why would you do that when it’s possible to sit down and stare and have a screen tell you a story without having to do any work? Still, a lot of movies are actually based on these book things, believe it or not. Presumably it’s something to do with the fact that books have to be relatively “good” to be published, and that – by the time an adaptation comes around – they’ve already got a built-in fanbase, ready to exploit.
We all know nowadays that The Shawshank Redemption was written by Stephen King »

Cara quickly discovers that Adam’s personalities are murder victims, and the more she finds out about him and his past, the closer she and her loved ones come to becoming murder victims themselves.
