Faces In The Crowd
Stars: Milla Jovovich, Sarah Wayne Callies, Julian McMahon, Michael Shanks, Marianne Faithfull | Written and Directed by Julien Magnat
Giallo wannabe Faces in the Crowd stars Milla Jovovich – for once taking a break from either a) killing zombies and b) working with her husband – as Anna Marchant, a woman who witnesses a murder by the serial killer dubbed Tearjerker Jack. When Jack turns on Anna she manages to escape by falling off a bridge and banging her head – an injury which causes her to come down with a case of prosopagnosia, aka ”face-blindness.” Which means Anna cannot recognise her attacker, her husband, her friends, or anyone else for that matter, thanks to her new found inability to remember or identify faces…

Jurassic Park Trilogy Although I probably wouldn't personally buy it, the Jurassic Park Trilogy is undoubtedly today's big item and I will say Universal has put together a great package for those of you that really want it. The films look amazing, but most of all the sound is out of this world. Additionally there's a really good 2+ hour making of feature that spans all three discs with a lot of attention paid to the effects and advancement in visual effects Jurassic Park is responsible for. It serves as a great reminder how much of an effect this film had on the making of movies. Strangely you could credit (or blame) this film for the abundance of CGI in films nowadays.
Attack the Block If I were to recommend a new release in today's bunch I would point here.

An international trailer for an upcoming film called Faces in the Crowd starring Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil), Sarah Wayne Calles and Julian McMahon has just arrived and I'm sorry, but it's quite a laugh riot. Here's the plot: A horror-thriller centered on Anna Marchant (Jovovich), a woman living with "face-blindness" after surviving a serial killer's attack. As she lives with her condition, one in which facial features change each time she loses sight of them, the killer closes in. Along with the international trailer I also have a pre-production trailer that was shot for the film that is even funnier as it pretty much uses the "imagine you live in a world..." cliche over, and over, and over again to the score from The Dark Knight score. I've added both of them directly below. Give 'em a watch and try not to laugh or you may be the next person to wake up with.

Milla Jovovich’s horror/thriller “Faces in the Crowd” has a rather novel premise — a woman, the only witness to a serial killer’s crimes, gets knocked out and develops a condition where she can’t remember faces as soon as she looks away from you. Get it? She’s the only one who can identity the killer, but she can’t remember faces! Oh man, the irony. Too bad the trailer looks a tad generic in terms of thrills, chills, and all that good stuff. Unless we get a better quality trailer in the coming months, I’m thinking limited release and quick VOD dates, probably similar to what happened to Hilary Swank’s “The Resident”. Revolves around a young elementary school teacher named Anna Marchant (Milla Jovovich), who is attacked by a serial killer known only as Tearjerk Jack and survives, but is left to struggle with a...

Faces in the Crowd has a new official trailer, which shows more of actress Milla Jovovich and of serial killer Tearjerk Jack. In the clip, Milla as Anna Marchant suffers a fall which damages her brain. After recovery she experiences an impairment known as prosopagnosia.
This is a real life neurological deficit that affects the ventral stream of the temporal lobe. This is somewhat near the brain stem, or the lower portion of the brain. Usually, this impairment is caused by lesions in the brain suffered from a stroke, but it would not be hard to imagine a hard fall causing a hemorrage. Any blood on the brain then destroys any brain tissue. Thanks Psych' 337 (Human Perception).
Have a look at the clip below as Anna must face a serial killer. This is difficult for Anna when she is unable to recognize him!
