10 Opening Credit Sequences That Were Better Than The Films That Followed
8 May 2013 12:03 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Forget the poster, the trailer and the two-minute teaser; our first impression of a film arrives in the opening sequence. We should be hooked as soon as the studio logo begins to fade away. Any two-bit flick can simply roll out the cast list and hope we stick around to see them all, but it takes something truly spectacular to grab our attention from the get-go. For example, the use of crawl text did wonders for a little-known Seventies space opera; and now it’s the quickest way to parody one of the most famous and successful films of all time.
Of course, there are thousands of films whose opening sequences are as fine as their feature (Run Lola Run, Delicatessen and Enter the Void to name but three) but this article aims to shine a torch onto those where the disparity between the first five minutes and the remaining »

John Hyams: Direct to Video Auteur
28 April 2013 7:58 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Direct to video films have long been a ghetto where low rent productions and long forgotten c-list stars were forced to reside. Recently however a shift in momentum has begun to occur and something strange is happening, some of these films are actually quite good. Now don’t confuse direct to video films with the video on demand platform that is quickly becoming the go to distribution model for indie films. Direct to video productions do not have star-studded casts (at least in a ‘mainstream’ sense) nor do they much fanfare surrounding them. What they do have is freedom.
Director John Hyams quickly understood the freedom and malleability that direct to video presents and has gone about creating some incredibly interesting genre fare. Hyams first two feature length films, Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Dragon Eyes, displayed an acute understanding of the action genre. Both films showcased his talent for utilizing space, »

Film Review: Bikini Girls with Machine Guns in Mesmerizing ‘Spring Breakers’
21 March 2013 8:57 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Already hailed as this generation’s “Fight Club,” Harmony Korine’s “Spring Breakers” is a mesmerizing piece of satire, a journey into the dark side of teenage excess. And what’s a better symbol of excess than the ritual of spring break? But lest you think this is like MTV’s watered-down version of pop bands and bikini girls, Korine has something much more intense in store for you. With a pumping, brilliant score by Cliff Martinez (“Drive”) and Skrillex, an outstanding supporting performance from James Franco, and some of the most ridiculous behavior you’ll see on screen all year, “Spring Breakers” is thoroughly entertaining and kinda brilliant.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
“Spring Breakers” lets viewers know what they’re in for immediately. There’s no warm-up as pounding dubstep music screams from the speakers (make sure your theater of choice plays it Loud) and Korine, with perfect cinematography from the »

Exclusive Maniac Poster
6 February 2013 11:01 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
There are many sides to Elijah Wood's acting career. One is the Frodo in Lord Of The Rings side, another the Kevin in Sin City side. As you can probably tell from this exclusive poster below, Maniac is definitely in the latter category.Directed by P2 and Wrong Turn At Tahoe's Franck Khalfoun, it's a remake of the 1980 film of the same name, with Wood playing Frank Zito, a disturbed young man who becomes a ruthless serial killer until, that is, he meets Anna (Nora Arnezeder), and falls in a very strange form of love.The annoying thing about Frank's love is that it reveals itself in a rather disturbing and rather bloody way. Think... scalping, basically, and you're 100% there.To get a better look at the film, check out the very gory red band trailer below. As for the poster, designed by Sam Ashby, that's a much less red affair, »
Ray Winstone stars in Nick Cave 'Jubilee Street' video - watch
5 February 2013 4:24 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Ray Winstone stars in the new music video for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' 'Jubilee Street'.
The film was directed by John Hillcoat, who helmed 2005's The Proposition from Cave's script, which also starred Winstone.
"It was a real pleasure hanging around the set and watching Ray do his thing," Cave said.
"He is a master. What a great actor. And of course, working with my friend and collaborator John Hillcoat is always a blast."
The track is the second to be released from Push The Sky Away, the band's 15th studio album, which is available via Bad Seed Ltd from February 18.
The video was shot on location in London's East End last December.
Hillcoat also directed last year's Lawless, which was written by Cave.

The Theatre Bizarre 2: Grand Guignol Promo Art
4 February 2013 1:46 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
After the success of last year's French horror anthology The Theatre Bizarre, the sequel The Theatre Bizarre 2: Grand Guignol is moving forward at Severin. Although no plot details have surfaced, Olivier Abbou, Xavier Gens (The Divide), Lucile Hadzihalilovic (Enter the Void), Pascal Laugier (Martyrs), Talal Selhami, Julien Maury (Inside), and Alexandre Bustillo (Livid) have been confirmed as directors. The studio has unveiled early promo art for this horror sequel, which you can take a look at below, along with a statement from Severin. Production is scheduled to begin later this year.
"After the critical success of the first Theatre Bizarre anthology, it felt only natural to follow up with another serving of more over-the-top, brutal, visionary, envelope-pushing tales. And this time, carte blanche was given to the creme de la creme of French directors, who were all very happy to take Grand Guignol back to its original birthplace."

Blu-ray Review: Disingenuous ‘Won’t Back Down’ Oversimplifies Vital Issues
24 January 2013 7:36 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – If a film were meant to be judged purely on the basis of its final shot, then Daniel Barnz’s “Won’t Back Down” would be an unqualified success. The image of a little girl finally learning to pronounce the word “hope” could’ve easily been a cheesy contrivance straight out of a Feldco commercial. Even on paper, the shot sounds downright silly.
The fact that it works so well is a testament to the strength of Roman Osin’s cinematography (which visually brings the picture full circle), the tender performance by Emily Alyn Lind (of “Enter the Void” fame) and editor Kristina Boden’s impeccably timed cut to black. Indeed, the shot is a small triumph, but it is regrettably preceded by a great many other shots that don’t work at all.
Blu-ray Rating: 2.0/5.0
This picture was a critical and financial flop that likely was further damaged »

The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman – first look review
23 January 2013 9:14 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Shia Labeouf and Evan Rachel Wood play star-crossed lovers in this dodgy dystopian caper, which premiered at Sundance 2013
A very unnecessary quasi-supernatural romantic drama, this is the story of Charlie, an unhinged Chicagoan whose mother dies, then returns in spirit to tell him to go to Bucharest. On the plane, he meets a Romanian musician, who dies in his seat, resurrects, and tells him to take a gift to his daughter. Charlie finds the girl, Gabi, and duly falls in love with her. Although Gabi seems to reciprocate his affections, she is married to a violent psychopath, Nigel, which leads our twitchy hero on a dark journey into the Romanian underworld.
The fatal flaw here lies in the implausibility of the central love story. There's little chemistry between the principal actors, Shia Labeouf and Evan Rachel Wood, and it feels as if the makeup and hair departments have conspired to »
Controlled Chaos: An Interview with John Hyams
23 January 2013 6:18 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Despite my lifelong affinity for the action genre, I'd never encountered the Universal Soldier franchise. Somewhere in the back of my head I knew of its reputation as a Terminator rip-off, but it wasn't until I read Vern's “Action Movies Don't Have to Suck” piece for the Village Voice that I was intrigued enough to seek out John Hyams'& Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Day of Reckoning. Hyams' elegant staging and disarming sincerity offer a refreshing alternative to the action adventure comic book slop dished out to teenagers and poked at by indifferent adult audiences that an entire generation of studio execs have chosen to ignore. Despite their relatively tiny budgets, Hyams' Universal Soldier movies, along with his other fictional feature, Dragon Eyes, are exquisite examples of digital cinema and personal storytelling. Rightfully, these movies should be dime store thrill rides, and in the best possible sense they are. They're also equal parts melodrama, »

Phoenix has announced its follow-up to 2009’s excellent Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which will be titled Bankrupt. The band’s announcement (via image) on its Facebook page also includes an epilepsy warning—and for good reason. The post links to the band’s website, currently featuring a video of the words “Phoenix Bankrupt” backed by Enter The Void-level intense flashing lights and accompanied by what might be music from the record. Don't say they didn't warn you. [via Pitchfork] »

Cool Videos: Enter the Void's Gasper Noé directs a video for Nick Cave
4 January 2013 1:54 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Kind of a bad ass team up. Enter the Void's Gasper Noé was hired to direct the video for Nick Cave's "We No Who U R". However, the outcome seems a little underwhelming. It's basically Cave's shadow walking around in the woods for 4 minutes, which actually would have been better for this song. Regardless, I think Cave is pretty f*cking fantastic. Not only are his own projects amazing, but he is a fantastic writer whether it's for film (The Proposition, Lawless), novels, or scores »

Watch: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' 'We No Who U R' gets a video by Gaspar Noe
4 January 2013 1:34 PM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
With a title like "We No Who U R," Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds insinuate there's a character who's trying to exercise some anonymity. The new music video for the track by director/writer/producer Gaspar Noe reveals that some people are impossible to know. Watch as the shadow-man makes his way through brush and forest, making you as much a ghost as he. Noe, if unfamiliar, is the man behind features like 2009's "Enter the Void" and 2002's "Irreversible." "We No Who U R" is off of Cave and his Seeds' "Push the Sky Away" out on Feb. 19. »
