Tribeca Film Fest 2013: Prince Avalanche (2013, Dir. David Gordon Green)

prince-avalanche_tribeca_2013_you-won-cannes

I remember how I felt when I saw David Gordon Green’s All The Real Girls in theaters. At that point in my life, I was quite young, and I’d watch anything at the only arthouse theater in my town. Movies would pop up there, screen for a week, and vanish forever. I remember very little of the film itself, but there are remnants of the visuals left in my synapses; the warm organic closeness, and I recall my reactions. I know I was captivated, but I knew nothing massive was happening. I felt I should be bored, but I wasn’t.

Bryan Singer Still Being Coy About Peter Dinklage In Upcoming X-Men Film

Bryan Singer coy about new X-Men

Comic book fans have been scratching their heads ever since Bryan Singer announced Peter Dinklage would be starring in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Some fans thought he would be playing Alpha Flight member Puck, but that was debunked after it was revealed he is a villain. Fans then thought he would be voicing a CG character, but Singer shot down that theory as well.

News: Marvel Plans To Follow Planet Hulk Story In Upcoming Films

Planet Hulk

Sending Jason, Pinhead, or even the Leprechaun into space is a little wacky, but sending the Incredible Hulk into space makes a lot of sense in the Marvel Universe. According to Latino Review, Marvel plans to follow the Planet Hulk and World War Hulk story-lines for the next two phases of their planned superhero movie franchises featuring The Avengers characters.

Trailer For Ole Bornedal’s Upcoming Dybbuk Movie, The Possession

If we’re friends, (and if you’re reading this, we may very well be!) you probably know about my penchant for movies about demonic possession. You may even be familiar with the “Where’s Satan?” trilogy I made in my final year of film school, in which each short film centered around something or someone being possessed by Satan! And I was making those films long before M. Night even thought about Devil, so don’t even start. Anyhow, if Satanic possession is my favorite thing, my second favorite thing is possession by a Dybbuk. The Dybbuk is an evil spirit from Jewish mythology, said to be the malicious misplaced soul of a deceased person. They like to pop up and make trouble in the body of someone living.  And there’s another Dybbuk movie coming out!!!

Five Reasons The Hunger Games Looks Bad

I’ve convinced so many people to read The Hunger Games in hopes that at least one of them will see it with me on March 23 that I lost count of how many movie dates I have. Unfortunately, that was before I saw all the coverage online and in Entertainment Weekly. I have my fingers crossed that the movie will not disappoint, but here are five reasons why I’m nervous that it will.

Festival Favorite Natural Selection To Open In Limited Release

Robbie Pickering’s Natural Selection was one of my top five favorite films of last year. This movie is total indie magic, I swear. I’m usually a complete cynic, and relationships in cinema very rarely affect me. I got so emotionally involved in this film, it has to be some kind of perverse quirky magic. After screening at many well-known film festivals, it’s getting a limited release beginning on March 16th at the Angelika Film Center in New York City before continuing to other cities across the country. I implore you to go see it if it’s screening in your town.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Vs. Zombie Hunter

For our Full Review of Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies, click Here

Full Moon was infamous for making cheaper versions of blockbuster films for the direct-to-video market in the 90s. They have since moved on to Killer Bongs and Killer Cookies, leaving the market open for low budget Hollywood knockoffs. The Asylum has since filled the void releasing such classics  as Titanic 2, Almighty Thor and Nazis at the Center of the Earth.

The Asylum’s latest film Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies is set for a May 22 release. That’s exactly one month before Seth Grahame-Smith’s highly anticipated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is set to hit theaters.

I Have A Lot Of Feelings About V/H/S

V/H/S premiered at the Sundance Film Festival about a week and a half ago, and it seems to have generated quite a buzz. Then again, that might just be with the people I follow on twitter, several of whom are actually the makers of the film. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve been hearing all about the disaster that occurred during the screenings and the sale of this low budget horror film to Magnolia. And frankly, the whole thing has me captivated.

V/H/S is an anthology horror film about a group of criminals who break into a house and accidentally uncover a trove of horrifying video tapes, all containing documentation of snuff like violence and bizarre supernatural occurrences.
