'The Call' - engages, keeps you hooked (Ians Movie Review)
5 April 2013 11:59 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Film: "The Call"; Cast: Halle Berry, Morris Chestnut, Michael Elkund, David Otunga, Abigail Breslin and Evie Thompson; Director: Brad Anderson; Rating: ***
An engrossing suspense thriller, "The Call" is an interesting slice of life of a '911' call operator. This astutely written script by Richard D'Ovidio follows the template of "Cellular" and "Phone Booth", where the life-line of the film is the telephone call.
The film focuses on how these emergency call operators at times go beyond the call of duty.
Jordan Turner (Halle Berry), the daughter of an ex-policeman works at the Los Angeles Emergency Call Center, which is also known as the Hive.
The film takes you directly into the Hive where, against the backdrop. »

Indie Spotlight

We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting the recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes details on a comic anthology series featuring Alice Cooper, UK premiere details for Big Ass Spider!, information on the Karen Black fund, and much more:
Details on the Karen Black Fund: “Karen has been waging a battle for over two years with cancer. She has not talked about this publicly because she was hoping it would be cured and she could call herself a cancer survivor. Karen was diagnosed with ampullary cancer in November of 2010. After suffering through nausea, fainting and losing over thirty pounds, she was finally declared Ned – No Evidence of Disease in July. But by December 2011 a small tumor developed and another surgery was in order, which left her completely bed-ridden. Her cancer seemed conquered though. By spring 2012 she was doing a lot better »

Forest Whitaker is Now Trying to Get Richard Pryor Biopic Moving
29 March 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
For years and years, various directors and actors have been trying to get a biopic following iconic stand-up comedian and actor Richard Pryor, but none have stuck. From names like Martin Scorsese and Damon Wayans (who were trying before Pryor passed away in 2005) to Bill Condon and Marlon Wayans' most recent attempt before The Twilight Saga lured the director away, there have been plenty of iterations. Comedians like Eddie Murphy (who has an amazing Pryor impression) and Chris Rock were once linked to the project, but to no avail. Now Forest Whitaker is behind the most recent effort, but not as the star. Whitaker is instead teaming with Jennifer Pryor, the late comedian's wife, to produce the film by way of the Phone Booth actor's Significant Productions banner. Whitaker will oversee development of a new script with input from Pryor's widow, and maybe this time it will actually work. »

5 Reasons Why George Clooney Could Have Been The Best Batman
25 March 2013 4:16 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Who’s the best Batman? People go back and forth on this one. A lot of people say Christian Bale, others Michael Keaton, and even some argue Adam West was the only live-action Batman worth watching.
However, everyone–and for good reason–forgets George Clooney’s performance as Batman. Everyone agrees that Batman and Robin was the black sheep of the Batman film series. However, really think about the criticisms made against it. Ice puns. Whiny Robin. Bat Nipples. Everyone agrees that 80% of the cast was terrible, but there are two things that I have yet to hear brought up in discussion of the film’s faults. Everyone ignores Michael Gough’s Alfred and George Clooney’s Batman.
They were the silver lining on the most disappointing film of all time.
However, I will go one step further. Not only was George Clooney the best part of Batman and Robin, »

Knock Out was an original story - Mani Shankar
22 March 2013 3:17 AM, PDT | BollywoodHungama | See recent BollywoodHungama news »
The Sanjay Dutt starrer Knock Out which was locked in a copyright battle with 20th Century Fox has suffered a serious blow with the High Court ruling in favour of 20th Century Fox, thereby putting Mani Shankar into a position of deep embarrassment at a time when he has just completed a very successful stint with Gujarat's chief minister Narendra Modi in using the holograph 3D technique to project Modi's life-like image on stage in several cities of Gujarat simultaneously during the recent election campaigning. So impressed is Narendra Modi by Mani Shankar's technological panache that the Gujarat Cm tweeted, "Gujarat Election Campaign 2012 becomes even more memorable with the 3D interaction creating a Guinness World Record." Says Mani Shankar, "In truth those were the most challenging 14 days of my life with a 1200-men team spread over 53 locations. Over 100 checklists had to be got right in each location, a fresh crisis every hour, »

FEARnet Movie Review: 'The Call'
18 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
We, the astute genre fans, already know that Brad Anderson can do horror (Session 9), psychological thrillers (The Machinist), and ice-cold train-related chillers (Transsiberian), but how well would the filmmaker fare as a simple "hired gun" for a big star and a gimmicky screenplay? If the new kidnapping thriller The Call is any indication, he'd do a rather fine job of minimizing the cliches, focusing on the cleverest moments, and delivering a simple suspense flick that might be obvious and entirely predictable -- but is still quite a bit of fun all the same. In the hands of a lazier or less talented filmmaker, The Call could hit the screen feeling like a dreary pilot episode of a very uninteresting TV series.
Fortunately for all involved, Anderson manages to bring a lot of class and energy to the material.
Halle Berry plays a 911 operator who "loses" a caller during a horrific break-in. »

Review: 'The Call' Dials Up A Shallow Thriller
14 March 2013 12:25 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In countless films about emergencies, crimes and police work, the 911 dispatcher is but a bit player, an anonymous, robotic voice briefly heard on the other end of a breathless call made by our movie's main players.
But in "The Call," the 911 operator gets a starring role. It would seem to be long overdue, since Halle Berry is apparently among their ranks.
She's a highly professional emergency operator in Los Angeles, where the trauma of a first kidnapping case has forced her to hang up the headset. But, having shifted to a trainer position, she's lured back for a second kidnapping call when a rookie dispatcher can't handle the frightened pleas from a teenager trapped in a car's trunk (Abigail Breslin).
Director Brad Anderson (who has a few sturdy thrillers to his credit: "Transsiberian," "The Machinist"), working from the simple, high-concept screenplay by Richard D'Ovidio, ably cuts between Berry's increasingly emotionally-attached »

The 5 Worst Phone Calls in Movie History
14 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Halle Berry's new thriller "The Call" has a pretty simple premise: a gal is kidnapped but manages to make a 911 call that is answered by Berry's emergency operator. And then, you know, all hell breaks loose.
Sounds pretty harrowing, right? But when it comes to frightening, dangerous and downright creepy phone calls, Hollywood history is filled with examples even more extreme. So in honor of Berry and "The Call," we thought this would be a perfect time to look at the 5 Worst Phone Calls in Movie History.
5. 'When a Stranger Calls' (1979)
You probably don't remember the 2006 remake because, well, why would you? But the 1979 original remains a terrifying classic thanks in large part to the phone call in the opening scene. Babysitter Jill Johnson (Carol Kane) is relaxing after putting the kids to bed when she gets a creepy, threatening phone call. She contacts the police and »

A Preview of Kevin Tong’s ‘Sights Unseen’ Phone Booth Gallery Show
9 March 2013 6:45 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There is something very special about Kevin Tong's new solo art show, “Sights Unseen,” which opens tonight (March 9th) at the Phone Booth Gallery in Long Beach, CA. Tong has been very tight-lipped about revealing any information about it and I was completely surprised walking through the doors. It was not at all what I was expecting, in the best way possible. In Kevin's own words, “It isn't so much a show as it is more of an installation”. I am not allowed to say much, as Kevin wants it to be a surprise for everyone who attends the opening, but I will say, you should definitely attend if you are able. With over a hundred available pieces for sale, including a gorgeous new 8 color screen print, it was all almost too much to take in for the few hours I was there. Every time I looked again, I found something I'd missed before. »

Tom Hardy to Lead Real-Time 'Locke' from 'Eastern Promises' Writer
7 February 2013 11:47 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 movie Rope was one of the first major films to be shot in real time, and since then a ton of films have used the same tactic: High Noon, 12 Angry Men, Nick of Time, Phone Booth, Before Sunset, Crank, and 88 Minutes, just to name a few. Kiefer Sutherland's Fox TV series "24" popularized the style for modern audiences, and now Inception and The Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy is looking to reclaim it for the film world. ScreenDaily reports that Hardy will star in a new real-time thriller called Locke, which will be written and directed by Eastern Promises screenwriter Steven Knight. More below! Hardy will play Ivan Locke, a man with a perfect family, his dream job, and the crowning achievement of his career within his grasp.
