Why Richard Kelly's The Box could be the best film of the year

12 November 2009 10:36 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Year: 2009

Directors: Richard Kelly

Writers: Richard Kelly

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: agentorange

Rating: 9 out of 10

Richard Kelly channels no less than the ghost of Stanley Kubrick to turn Richard Matheson's blip of a Twilight Zone idea into one of the most astounding pieces of cerebral science fiction cinema I have ever seen. Yes, The Box is that good. It dares to scale the same intellectual heights as 2001: A Space Odyssey and it revels in the potent, restrained formalism of The Shining without ever leaving its two main characters or plot too far behind. In fact, Kelly is so self assured in executing this delicious layer-cake of a movie that The Box is now a front runner for my choice of best film of the year (yep, move over Moon) and I absolutely can't wait to see it again so I can dig even deeper into its box of mysteries. »

‘Mad Dog Morgan’ Comes To DVD Uncut

11 November 2009 11:51 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Philippe Mora's Mad Dog Morgan, a violent true story and a 70's classic that forever changed the way international audiences saw Australian cinema, is being released in a two-disc limited edition DVD set on November 24 from Troma. Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now) plays Mad Dog Morgan, Australia's most notorious criminal, with all the bravado that turned him into the decade's most radical screen icon. Critics at the Cannes Film Festival praised Mad Dog Morgan and awarded it the John Ford Memorial Award for Best Western before it became a worldwide hit. The new two-disc set includes the shocking uncut version of Mad Dog Morgan (with graphic violence previously censored in North America!), That's Our Mad Dog (a conversation with writer/director Philippe Mora and Dennis Hopper), a rare radio interview with Mora, new interviews with crewmembers, a locations featurette, and more! One of the inaugural films of the Australian New Wave, »

Exclusive: A Night with The Wicker Man / The Wicker Tree Footage Premiere Report

11 November 2009 1:00 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Director Robin Hardy was present for a screening of his 1973 film The Wicker Man and a 10-minute clip of his upcoming feature The Wicker Tree at the 92nd St. Y in Tribeca on All Hallows Eve. Once heralded as the “Citizen Kane of Horror Films,” by Cinefantastique Magazine, The Wicker Man remains relevant today with its nod towards an outwardly polite and perfect community obfuscating malignant religious fanaticism and featuring the age-old fight between pagans and Christians.

The Wicker Man follows the good Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) as he attempts to uncover the whereabouts of a missing girl last seen on Summerisle in Scotland, a beautiful, private island filled with song, ritual, and customs from a time long, long ago. Howie bears witness to many instances of bizarre behavior: outdoor orgies under a moonlit sky; a naked woman in a cemetery, weeping with her chest pressed against her beloved »

Katy Perry Hits 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards' Red Carpet

5 November 2009 6:08 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

This year's annual MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) has been kicked off on Thursday, November 5, and the likes of Katy Perry, Pete Wentz and Beyonce Knowles were among some of the celebs spotted hitting the event's red carpet. Billed to be the awards' host, Katy showed up to the star-studded affair wearing a nude-colored one shoulder Marchesa gown with embroidered ebony flowers. The 25-year-old British singer was showered with confetti on the red carpet.

As for Pete, the Fall Out Boy bassist wore all-black outfit to the ceremony. He finished off his look with a matching cap. Besides, he was also spotted sporting a heavy black make-up on his left eye, which supposedly was inspired by film "A Clockwork Orange". Beyonce, who was one of the tapped performers at the event, hit the red carpet in Atelier Versace.

In the meantime, singer Joss Stone was also present. She was all »

25 Most Disturbing Movies List, #10: Clockwork Orange

5 November 2009 2:25 PM, PST | GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news »

Continuing Simon Augustine's countdown of the Most Disturbing Movies (Read Part 1 for the previous 13). [<< #11]

10. A Clockwork Orange (1971) 10/7

A film of such high artistic merit that I hesitate to place it here, but Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's sci-fi novel must grace any list with "disturbing" in the title. Mainstream enough to have been seen by countless neophytes, but twisted enough to be treasured by the more perverse among us, A Clockwork Orange (even the title is unsettling in its somewhat arbitrary and colorful surrealism) evokes a not very distant dystopia that is both absolutely convincing and yet disorienting in its restrained mix of futurism and contemporary realism: Kubrick infuses the early 70s overt, garish style with "things to come" details to create an effect both familiar and strange. »

Matthew Modine: The Hollywood Interview

Matthew Modine: Better Angels

By

Alex Simon

Matthew Modine has been something of an iconoclast most of his working life. After being groomed for ‘80s teen idol status in early films such as Private School and Vision Quest, Modine was also one of the first actors of his generation, along with Sean Penn, to take on riskier projects, such as Robert Altman's Streamers, Alan Parker’s Birdy, Gillian Armstrong’s Mrs. Soffel, and Alan J. Pakula’s Orphans. It was his lead role as the cynical Marine Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam epic Full Metal Jacket that put Modine into the pantheon of young actors who were more than just pretty faces and knowing winks at the camera. This, after all, was the young man who turned down the lead in Top Gun, arguably the prototypical ‘80s blockbuster, due to its cold war politics. From the beginning, »

Bronson Movie Review

2 November 2009 4:58 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

The London penal system has no idea what to do with Michael Peterson, famously on record as its most violent criminal. If the film Bronson can be believed, their solution was to beat him intensely and often. Strangely, that’s also director Nicolas Winding Refn’s answer to his subject. Bronson, so named because Peterson adopts the full name of action star Charlie, is a pseudo-biography about a real life man who entered prison as a low-level bank robber and is still there today, infamous for taking hostages and inciting riots that would make Ufc fighters cower. Refn’s film isn’t the whole truth; it might not even be half the truth, but it creates a violently swirling vortex around its central figure, played to rage-filled precision by Tom Hardy.

“All my life I’ve wanted to be famous” says Bronson in the film’s opening which has Hardy »

Photo Gallery: Harry Potter's Halloween Party

While it would seem that every day is a little like Halloween for the Harry Potter cast, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton really did it up on Saturday night for the Harry Potter Halloween Party at Harry's Bar in London. Rupert arrived all done up as a droog from A Clockwork Orange, while Felton donned a Ghostbusters uniform for the soiree. We're not sure what D-Rad's costume was; maybe some kind of biker-hippie hybrid? Click through the photo gallery and offer your thoughts in the comments section! »

tMF Perspectives: Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon and his polemical statements against the American 'barrel down' cinema

26 October 2009 1:46 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

If you're going to ask me (once again) who I considered to be one of the most controversial filmmakers today, then I would name Michael Haneke (right after Lars von Trier, of course). While von Trier's movies can be overwhelming at times, Haneke's can be very daunting and just like subjecting one self to torture. If von Trier loves to portray America without touching American soil, Haneke loves to teach his viewers a dose of their own medicine - patronizing American escapist movies is like committing a crime, there will be punishment sooner or later.

- - -

- - - But how to begin? Perhaps a look at The White Ribbon, his latest would be a good way to start. Instead of a chronological set of events, we start from the most recent.
