When I first saw The Hunger Games trailer, I thought to myself, "I should probably read those books." So I did. On second viewing, the trailer comes off as incredibly faithful. The source material is pretty good to start with, and the premise is simple but compelling. As with many adaptations, it's in the execution. The Hunger Games aims to execute well. While I feel the first book will make

Never have I seen-- and enjoyed-- so much footage from a movie so far off. Peter Jackson and crew have certainly been busy, each scene impeccably composed, shot, and colored. The results look as beautiful as ever, it would be hard to expect less from the teams involved in front of the camera and behind. Here are some of my favorite shots from the trailer, each and eyeful in every way. Holding in

Two shows set out to evoke the verve of 1960's America, feverishly digging into nostalgia for those who remember and sparking fantasy for those who cannot. One spilling out of its corset, espousing the lavish nightlife and mystique of the era's most favored fetish. The other neatly tucked into uniform, bright and airy with the promise of the world before it. A comparison not unlike Batman and

Wow, where did the time go?! Two days from 2011 and I find the site to be a an empty hall filled with the ghostly echoes of months old posts. It certainly was not for want of trying, but maintaining a blog--particularly a blog about films--is daunting work. That word is emphasized on purpose. I have countless articles bookmarked and/or saved on my RSS reader that were meant to be subject matter

Well, looky here. A casual check of what's new at Apple Trailers reveals that Rogue Pictures picked up The Warrior's Way and released a new trailer. Actually, this is the first true trailer for the film as the footage from the previous post about this film was actually a promo reel used at film markets. What's important to note here is the apparent change of tone of the film, at least from the

The Coens are doing it again. Such an excellent teaser to what is sure to be a film that could bring back the Western. I'm certainly all for that. The fact that this is a new adaptation of the Charles Portis novel certainly has not prevented the Coens from reminding us of the iconic imagery from the John Wayne film (above photograph). View the effective teaser at Apple here.

Clint Eastwood brings humanity and depth to the theme of psychics and the paranormal so often misused as a horror genre when it could be much more. Using eerily familiar disasters as lynch pins, this film seems to be delving into the human need to understand tragedy, to touch "the paranormal" as a way of making sense of and deal with our mortality. Outstanding cast and the usual, understated

This is my new favorite series of the summer season. Yes, that is Odagiri Joe and Kuriyama Chiaki (aka Go Go Yubari) playing detectives in what I can only describe as the Japanese version of Twin Peaks. Created and directed by Satoshi Miki, a veteran stage producer who has created unique TV series often with Odagiri Joe in the lead, he is also an accomplished film director of comically poignant

Inception at its core is a heist movie and in this it follows procedure dutifully. There's the hardened veteran, his right hand man, an estranged love with unclear loyalties, the crew of assembled regulars, the wild card, and of course the inductee. Delve deeper into the formula and even more archetypes and familiar plot points appear. The only real originality in this ensemble is "the score" and

Leave it to Gore Verbinski to create a CG animated film that, at least to these eyes, finally rivals what the folks at Pixar are doing. As you watch this trailer, the fact that it is CG immediately fades behind the efficacy of its irreverant mood, skillfully dressed in sub-genre trappings that puts the sharp comedic wit front-and-center. This is not selling the CG. And is barely selling Depp's

Another fine example at some of the impressive genre filmmaking coming out of Russia. There is a unique skill at mixing fantasy elements with contemporary settings on display here that it would not be so much exaggeration to say that at this moment, Russia are the masters of this type of genre film...perhaps carving out a new sub-genre as they progress.

Wow, the first entry of June and it's almost the end of the month! Apologies for the lack of updates, but time has been a commodity in short supply recently. However, I had to post this very cool opening title sequence for the recent film Gallants which is a throwback to classic Shaw Brothers film, starring some of the studio's most well-known stars, and giving us fans of old school Hong Kong

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Apichatpong Weerasethakul (SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY, TROPICAL MALADY and BLISSFULLY YOURS) is the first Thai film to take home the top prize at Cannes.

Apologies for making March an unintended "Tron" month, but the final entry for the month just had to go to this expertly recut trailer for the original Tron using today's marketing sensibilities ala my previous post. When you watch this and compare it to the trailer for the Tron Legacy, you start getting a very real sense of what the sequel is lacking...at least in terms about what it is about,

There is a new trailer for the film which calls itself Tron Legacy. I say "the film which calls itself Tron Legacy" because if the word "Tron" were not part of the title, one may certainly not think it had anything to do with the classic film from the 80s set in the world within circuitry and microchips. Though the trailer is rather vague about the story, intentionally so as this is just a

Bay Rong is the second film by Vietnamese-American director Johnny Nguyen in which he takes the concept similar to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and exploits it as it should have been in the Hollywood version. This is a high energy martial arts crime thriller pitting two ex-cons and would-be lovers against the gangs that had put them in prison. Nguyen's previous film, The Rebel, has also been highly

I'll be upfront, despite misgivings, the above trailer sells a solid-looking film. Certainly another film in the long line of remakes that are being manufactured by the Hollywood machine, but one that at least does not repeat the original version's cues verbatim. The transfer of the setting makes sense with regard to making this about Chinese martial arts rather than Japanese, thus

Here is an interesting experiment by a rather industrious individuals in response to the increasing amount of remakes/reboots Hollywood is producing: recut the trailer of the original Clash of the Titans and The Wolf Man using today's marketing aesthetics.

Here's one of those interesting projects that seems to be flying under the radar, despite what appears to be solid potential behind the scenes. Once called Laundry Warrior, the film now known as The Warrior's Way is an ambitious melding of East and West, literally. The film revolves around "a swordsman from the Far East who flees from his past to the American badlands where he meets the town

Martial arts films have in the last couple of decades been largely dominated by Chinese style martial arts, namely some form of Kung Fu, either in theme, content, or just action choreography. As I have written before, Kung Fu photographs well, especially the very dramatic kicks and aerials that can be performed. It captures the audiences imagination, and delivers easy to comprehend impacts.

This is one of those films that stayed under the radar for almost its entire production and release. News of a Hong Kong remake of the classic Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion starring the incomparable Kaji Meiko (the original Princess Snowblade on which Lucy Liu's Oren Oshii is modeled) leaked onto the internet quite a few years ago.

If a director of unheradled success takes a nearly a decade off before his next offering, that offering has little choice than to be Avatar. Spectacle, epic, love story, parable, technological achievement, Avatar is all these things with not an apology in sight.

The first post of 2010 brings some potentially exciting news. For anyone who grew up on animations of the late 70s and 80s, one should have memories of a series called Star Blazers, the Americanized version of a Japanese anime series "Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato)." It was one of my first exposures to Japanese anime and I still have clear memories of the impact it had on me

Jackie Chan, to most of us, needs no introduction. He has been a fixture in martial arts films for so long, he can arguably called one of Hong Kong & China's living legends. It is unfortunate, however, that like many of his brethren from HK, his excursions into the American market has been hit and miss, some would claim more the latter than the former. In recent years, it seems that Chan has been

As stated earlier, there seems to be an influx of Chinese auteurs returning to the fold recently. This time, it's the most auteur-esque of them all, WONG Kar-wai who has not delved into this genre since his debut film Ashes of Time. The prospect of this unique visionary returning to wuxia alone is reason enough to get excited, but what will it be about? Entitled The Great Master, the film will

Thanks to Twitch Film for putting the spotlight on this wonderful short film by young filmmaker Ishida Hiroyasu (aka Tete). The independent anime movement has been quietly growing ever since Shinkai Makoto paved the way with films such as Voices of a Distant Star and 5 Centimetres Per Second.

The 80s was a wonderful period for of those of you who grew up playing Dungeons & Dragons, as sword & sorcery fantasy films were frequently being made and released. Most have been, of course, relegated to "cult film" status these days, but it is truly a shame that the genre as a whole all but disappeared for the past 20 years. That is...until Peter Jackson proved that interest in fantasy films

This one debuted yesterday. It's good seeing Mel Gibson doing the "tough guy" thing again. His performance in Payback--and the film itself for that matter--are highly underrated. Naturally, comparisons are already being made to the surprise hit Taken but they are inaccurate. As stated before, Taken is more of a "search & destroy" film while Edge of Darkness is more the classic revenge film.

Apologies for the lack of posts this month. As maintaining this blog is done more out of love than necessity, it naturally takes a back seat to the real work that ultimately comes in large, heavy doses. This will probably continue through October and in to November, but to make up for it, I decided to put together all the posts I was going to do on the emerging cinema of Russia.Like their other

As stated in the previous post, a problem or hurdle for biographical films is the possibility that the story might dilute the mystique of the individual in question. Another hurdle, however, is crafting a story that is compelling enough for people to watch; the assumption in the case of Amelia Earhart is that people already know "the end."This is the challenge for the filmmakers of Amelia, a film

Coco avant ChanelThe danger of autobiographical films is the chance that they may actually take away from the mystique or rub the gleam off of the legend. However, in the case of Coco Chanel, the "Chanel" brand is so powerful and influential in modern fashion history that it might be easy to forget that Chanel is the name of a remarkable woman. Coco avant Chanel attempts to trace the life of

The trailer for Universal's modern remake of one of their classic movie monsters premiered yesterday. Overall, the production design and tone of the film are accurate for the material. It is the stellar cast, however, that really sells me on this film—quality players all around. And I think that is really important for material such as this. You need performers who will deliver the gravitas of

SUMMER WARSWhen timid eleventh-grader and math genius Kenji Koiso is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki to come with her to her family’s Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation. Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era, and they’ve all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae. That’s when

Surveillance is an appropriate title for a film that is essentially about "point-of-view." As the word "surveillance" suggests, there is a scene to be observed, from which details and information can be extracted. Two Federal agents, played by Bill Pullman and Julia Ormand (pictured above) are charged with reconstructing the events surrounding a grisly crime. The narrative borrows from the

Actor Jean Reno has a special place in a lot of cineastes' hearts. He has managed to make a career playing characters with a hard edge, but who ultimately proves to be "good" at heart. He has a screen presence that is hard to ignore with a gruff voice that sells the dark cloud with the silver lining aura. It is therefore surprising that he has yet to tackle a purely villainous role. Perhaps it's

A few words of wisdom and insight from a man who can make big budget fantasy epics and small sci-fi films because he loves the process...from writing, filming, editing...all from the safe confines of New Zealand, thousands of miles away from Hollywood.It's interesting because the film industry is in a really weird position at the moment.

Secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath returns in OSS 117 - Lost in Rio, the follow-up to 2006's OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. One might think you have seen this kind of spy spoof before, notably in the Austin Powers series, but this is where OSS 117 distinguishes itself. It is not a spoof or parody of the genre, but an irreverent homage to the era itself. The production design and execution

Michel Gondry's film opens with a documentary about jazz musician Fats Waller relating his roots in the small town of Passaic, New Jersey and specifically a particular brownstone on one corner of the neighborhood. As you watch this documentary complete with file footage, it becomes more apparent that members of the film's cast seem to appear in the documentary, including the proprietor of Be Kind

Say the words Jean-Pierre Jeunet and one word should come to mind: "fantasist." To say Jeunet builds worlds is an understatement, but what's more amazing about this director is his where he builds his worlds...right here on Earth. Yet, all of his films have a production design and atmosphere to them that can not be easily categorized by a particular time period or place unless he is specific

Is Moon an example of art house science fiction, or a throwback to sci-fi of years past? There are several points to both sides, but there is no arguing the quality of this haunting, understated film.Moon is primarily a character study, that of astronaut and caretaker Sam Bell. Sam is the sole occupant of a mining station on Earth's moon, at which is produced a valuable energy source that has all

This will be one of the rare occasions when a post will be focused not on the film and its story, but on the the production of a film; in this case production design specifically. It is quite obvious what the intention of the filmmakers (i.e. producers/studio) when one views the trailer for this latest live-action adaptation of a popular property from the 80s.

It is interesting to note the differences in audience turnout for a film from it's domestic and international releases. The Da Vinci Code sequel, which reunites the core creative team while adding a host of new faces, has done remarkably different business abroad than in the States. To date, the film has earned a moderate domestic box office total of $124M, but has done outstanding business

Thrillers make up a large percentage of my personal film collection. Something has always fascinated me about the tense grip a film can have on you for the length of its running time.

Ever since I watched After Life, I have been a fan of director KORE-EDA Hirokazu. His subtle blending of documentary-like storytelling with a simple, yet affectuous narrative left me wanting more. By the time he had made Nobody Knows, it seemed the film world, too, had noticed his remarkable sense and ability of examining humanity in the most unexpected ways. It is a shame, though readily obvious

To be honest, I am not familiar with the works of Spanish director Isabel Coixet. This film caught my attention because it cast KIKUCHI Rinko in the role of a mysterious woman who works at the famous Tsukiji Fish Market by day and moonlights as a contract killer at night. I have been a fan of Kikuchi long before Babel when she appeared in a few independent films in her native Japan; at the time

Something has been happening to the profession, and I use that word reluctantly, of "film criticism." Thanks to the immediacy created by the internet, and the resulting cancerous spread of media outlets into it, people are able to put words out there that are searchable and linkable.

The magic that is a Pixar film is fairly well cemented with Up, had there been any doubt prior. Seen outside of the view from parents of young children or diehard fans of the studio, there can be no doubt left that a Pixar film is miles ahead of not only others placed into the CG genre, but simply most all other films combined. Up, specifically, is overwhelmingly refreshing in its ability to be

There was a time where the desire to see an unrestrained continuation of a favorite movie franchise remained unrequited and woefully improbable.

The latest by director Jim Jarmusch is a story of a hit man, but it is not a "hitman film." In fact, genre is really nothing more than the outer layer of any Jarmusch work; it is the only the context the story takes place, but certainly does not define it.

Marketed as a film that shows of a side of star Jackie Chan that his fans have never seen before, Derek Yee's Shinjuku Incident attempts to feature one of the world's most recognized and popular martial arts star in a role that features not one single fight scene. In fact, there are no signature Jackie Chan "-isms" in this film at all. Instead, Jackie is (gasp) simply acting in this one. The

Here's an interesting project. Director Hideo Nakata, the man who introduced to the world the creepy Sadako in the Ring series of films and who remade the same film as his Hollywood debut, has directed a documentary that is basically a "guide" for other international directors with aspirations to break into Hollywood. The documentary essentially recounts his experiences making the U.S. version of

Yes, Peter Jackson's adaptation of the Lord of the Rings is now inspiring fan films as well. This one actually looks quite well done considering that fantasy films can look quite bad even with a proper budget. The trailer certainly captures the essence of Jackson's trilogy quite handsomely as the story follows Aragorn's hunt for Gollum prior to Gandalf returning to Hobbiton and sending Frodo off

This is just a short entry to acknowledge a film that has two of France's more capable and absolutely stunningly gorgeous actresses in one film: Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci. Sprinkle on a little news that their film will be screening at the Midnight Screening section of the Cannes International Film Festival, and you certainly have my interest. Looking forward to more information and a

Many of you will recognize the name of Dustin Nguyen from his "21 Jump Street Days" and wondered where's he been? Well, for a while, he had to take care of personal matters which hindered him from taking a full load of work. He did appear for a while in the TV show "V.I.P." probably just to pay bills. But he's recently been active in films, primarily in his home country of Vietnam.The latest work

I must apologize for returning to single word titles, but there does seem to be a lot of them around these day. At any rate, Thirstis the latest from Korean maestro Park Chan-wook. If you haven't seen his Vengeance series (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) you really should. Park is a director with a very unique style that can best be described as courageous. His

This film looks like it might have all the right elements to be a possible classic. It's based on the exploits of historical folk hero, Ishikawa Goemon, a Japanese version of Robin Hood by some accounts. It has a stellar cast of well-known and capable actors. The production design and art direction are exquisite and fantastic. The official website is slick and full of content. This might be a a

I've been reading a lot lately about the emergence of Australian cinema; if you haven't caught a hint of this yet, you probably will someday soon if films like Last Ride are any example. The films stars Hugo Weaving in a much smaller, quieter but no less commanding role than you're probably accustomed to seeing him. It's an intimate road movie of a father who takes his son with him as he travels

I realize I wrote three posts in a row with single word titles, so I'm making up for it now with probably one of the longest titles posted yet. Anyway, let's get the obvious out of the way...yes, it's a remake of the The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The plot still revolves around three central characters all searching for the same thing. Each of the three are archetypes playing off one another.

I know this film's already been out and doing great (and unexpected) business at the box office, but I wanted to write about the powerful performance of Liam Neeson in this film. I am amazed that we haven't really seen this type of ferocity on display in any of his roles up to date. It's actually the level of intensity that I wanted to see in Quai Gon Jin, a Jedi with passionate convictions who

When it comes to thrillers/noirs, there are two school of thought: the Philippe Marlowe, crime in the naked city type or the rat in the maze type. Czech filmmaker Julius Ševčík's Normal shares more in common with Dark City or The Third Man than The Maltese Falcon or Double Indemnity. The film is gorgeously shot. The old world environment complete with narrow cobbled streets, dim wrought iron

There's something so very right about an angry Gal stalking the streets of Hong Kong with a gun in his hand. That's French music icon Johnny Hallyday as a father who comes to Hong Kong to avenge his family with the aid of some able bodied locals. Behind the wheel is Johnny To.*UPDATE* The second trailer has been released in honor of the film being selected to compete at Cannes in May:(The first

The Western, a much beloved film genre, may have seen a decline in proliferation as the decades passed, but certainly not in quality. There is a strange phenomena that affects certain things that we love that were once plenty but now rare. If one is going to tackle some thing that is so loved by others (and presumably oneself), damned if you're not going to do it right. Thankfully with the

Just when you think there can't be a cool, new zombie movie...It must be a bottomless well for those with a creative bent, and the hooks seem to present themselves just when you think that well has run dry.

What's this? A title logo in Cyrillic and Japanese Katakana? There are some interesting films and filmmakers coming out of Russia these days (a future post), but a collaboration of a Russian story with Japanese animated storytelling would have sounded too wild and speculative 10 years ago.

It's no secret that we love our science-fiction films to reflect actual science in their story. Unfortunately, these days "space films" or "technology films" are often mistaken for science-fiction. Real science fiction stories do not necessarily have to be set in space or involve any type of technology. Think about that for a while...This debut film by director, Duncan Jones has been making the

Gaumont's "JCVD," a French-language meta-movie parody par excellence, constitutes the headiest stretch of the beefy star's career since, well, ever.That's a quote from Variety. If Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler has rejuvenated the career of bad-boy Micky Rourke, then JCVD might have just resurrected the career of 80s action maven, Jean-Claude Van Damme (his initials making up the title for those

What do you know of Blaxploitation films? I grew up watching them on television without being aware of the genre. All I knew was that the films were fun to watch, packed with action, sometimes humor, but most of all a simple to understand yet serious message. Black Dynamite by writer/director Scott Sanders is just such a film. What makes this work special, however, is that it's not an old film

Back in 1997, a unique film came out combining wuxia with the latest CG effects at the time. The film was called The Storm Riders, a very satisfying evolution of the genre that was both a narrative success as well as a visual feast; certainly the first Chinese comic come-to-life. It was helmed by a young director named Andrew Lau. He went on to create this little trilogy known as Infernal Affairs

This is not some gimmick image. Though the obvious draw of a high school girl in her school uniform shooting her leg straight up like that might be the intention of other kinds of films, lead actress Takeda Rina is the real thing. Buzz about this film spread like wildfire after a short clip made it to YouTube, a hilarious vignette that showcased Takeda's skill. That vignette has made it to the

Just viewing the first trailer for Michael Mann's latest does two things. First, it makes you glad that a filmmaker like Mann exists. The second, is that it makes you salivate at the prospect of seeing a new Michael Mann film.I am an unabashed Mann fan ever since the Miami Vice days. He developed some amazingly original programming for TV including Crime Story and L.A. Takedown. I saw his

The question wasn't whether or not to purchase the latest season of The Venture Brothers, it was which edition to buy: DVD or BluRay?The BluRay had the advantage of being BluRay, making the entire season available on one disc, along with a bonus soundtrack CD that I'd no doubt enjoy.

Do not we all have limits? Even those of us who strive to remain calm in the face of adversity may eventually succumb to a breaking point, when the object of one's strife is endlessly attacked like waves against a rocky shore.Noise exposes a near-inescapable annoyance of modern life, the relentless audible assault populated society forces upon us. The focus is the ubiquitous car alarm, that which

The natural fear when you hear of a project like this is whether or not a complete film can be realized from a 48-page children's book. It did not help matters that the production of the film has been low on publicly released information. That time is now at an end with the debut of the official trailer.I think fears can be put to rest. The trailer effectively indicates that the sense of play and
