Oh, sure ... they're warm and supple and soft and alluring but don't make them angry. Bad things happen when you make them angry. Bad, violent, bloody things. We've written a great deal about Sundance hit short film Boob in the past and now here it is in all its ...

The big winner at this year's German Film Awards was Florian Gallenberger's "John Rabe" . The film, which tells the story of how a German industrialist saved 200.000 Chinese civilians during the Nanking massacres in 1937, got 4 of the statues (endearingly called the LOLAs) including ...

Is it fair to compare a young, second time film maker with one of cinema's all time greats? No, of course it's not. But if Thomas Ikimi's ultra low budget debut Limbo wasn't enough to convince you that he has aspersions towards making the same sort of high concept thrillers ...

Very sad news for Eurocult fans with word that iconic Spanish horror actor Paul Naschy has lost a long battle with cancer and died earlier today in Madrid. A prolific actor, writer, producer and director, Naschy was one of the most recognizable faces in all of European horror and ...

With this being my last shot at writing a Twitch-o-Meter in 2009 I've decided that rather than looking back - as I normally do with these things - I'm going to look forward. This column is dedicated to five young, up and coming film makers who I believe will make a big impact in 2010. ...

A press conference for Ding Sheng's period film Little Big Soldier was held yesterday and Jackie Chan was at hand to announced the launch of the Sina website with a new teaser trailer lurking within. It was the darkest of times in China, when ruthless warlords waged battles to ...

While I've never called myself a big fan of Ridley Scott's seminal sci-fi noir Blade Runner I can appreciate what it did in terms of look and design. I find the film itself rather boring and dragging which is strange because I usually am a sucker for a slow burner and meticulous pacing ...

There's usually a direct correlation between the health of a film industry and the amount of sequels it produces, at least when it comes to Chungmuro. Whereas you'd find the 60s littered with all sorts of franchises (from action to melodramas), all you could find in the 1990s of the ...

Thai action cinema has been pretty successful
ever since Ong-bak arrived on the scene. And even though they've
enjoyed considerable international commercial success so far they've
avoided swamping their audience with a bucket-load of inferior films.
Raging Phoenix is the latest in the ...

What's the matter kiddies? Were you too young back in 1981 to catch EVIL DEAD on actual screen? Or were you stuck in a town that never even gave the upstart indy horror classic a chance? Well it's time to rejoice with a resounding "Oh hell yes!" because those crazy mofos over at ...

I would like you to ask yourself two questions. First, if you are the director of the first slasher in Norway's history, a film that became a huge financial success and helped spark a surge of genre pictures out of the Nordic region, what do you do next? And second, what ...

Another movie produced by Timur Bekmambetov for Russian audience after Black Lightning is called Щастье that means Happiness (the word is spelled with mistake intentionally as one of hero's pupils write this way, instead of Щастье it should be Счастье, but both spellings sound the ...

A decidedly mundane suburban Britain plays host to the grim events recorded on 'Exhibit A' - a camcorder wielded by a young girl as her family falls apart under financial pressure. The concept of launching a film's narrative from purportedly 'found' footage is a well used device, but ...

By now we have all at least heard of the phenom that is Oren Peli's PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. Love it, hate it, it doesn't matter. Director Oren Peli has rocked the film world and movie goers with his little-film-that-could. So with all eyes on him, somehow Peli managed to shoot his follow ...

Be still my skeptical heart. After years of being disappointed first by the films that iconic Hong Kong director was announcing as his next projects and then being further disappointed by the fact that he never seemed to actually make anything it would now appear that the post- ...

That France's Luc Besson was able to keep his upcoming big budget adaptation of the popular Adele Blanc-Sec steam-punk comic series quiet as long as he did is nothing short of remarkable. This is a big director making a big film based on a big property and somehow he kept it out ...

Now a little over a month into production, the first artwork has just been released from Guillem Morales' Los Ojos De Julia . A Spanish production backed by Focus Features in what looks to be a similar arrangement to how Focus was involved with Park Chan-Wook's Thirst , this one has an ...
