Why You Should See It: Whether it’s Martha Marcy May Marlene or Sound of My Voice or this year’s The Wolfpack, we’ve seen a number of films at Sundance deal with communes and closed communities, but few bring the level of danger found in Partisan. The directorial debut of Ariel Kleiman (Sundance jury winner for the short Deeper Than Yesterday) is a patiently unfolding drama that displays the lengths one will go to provide shelter and community, »

Asif Kapadia came onto most cinematic radars in 2010 with his BAFTA award winning Senna, a terrific documentary on the life and tragic death of Formula 1 race car driver Ayrton Senna. The subject matter of his follow-up documentary doesn’t seem, at first, to be a million miles away. Amy, which screened out of competition in Cannes, follows the meteoric rise and tragic fall of the late singer Amy Winehouse. It is a devastating, infuriating and sometimes breathtaking watch, »

First Trailer For A Monster Calls
20 November 2015 1:06 AM, PST | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
With the faint air of Where the Wild Things Are about it, A Monster Calls sees The Orphanage and The Impossible director Juan Antonio Bayona tackle the tale of 12 year old Conor (newcomer Lewis MacDougall) as he attempts to come to terms with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness by retreating into a fantastical world that is host to all manner of creatures, including Liam Neeson’s massive tree monster. Neeson is growling his narration is slightly distracting, but other than that, this brief glimpse is very promising indeed. With only the two aforementioned features under his belt, Bayona has shown himself be an incredibly talented and creative director, and I have no doubt he can bring this intriguing story to life wonderfully. Released: October 14th 2016 »

Must Watch: First Teaser for J.A. Bayona's New Film 'A Monster Calls'
19 November 2015 11:25 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"One day the invisible man couldn't stand it anymore..." Focus Features has unveiled a must see teaser trailer for the new film from J.A. Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage) called A Monster Calls, about a boy dealing with bullying by "escaping into a fantastical world of monsters and fairy tales". The boy is played by Lewis MacDougall, but the cast list also shows Liam Neeson is playing The Monster seen at the end of the teaser. It also features Sigourney Weaver, Toby Kebbell, and Felicity Jones as his Mum. This is a very gorgeous teaser, and it doesn't show much, but it almost has a very dark Where the Wild Things Are feel. Also - note the wonderful use of the score from Cloud Atlas in this trailer. I want to see this. Here's the first teaser trailer for Juan Antonio Bayona's A Monster Calls, direct from Focus' YouTube: »

The Apu Trilogy (Satyajit Ray)
Although it premiered 60 years ago this week at the Museum of Modern Art, Satyajit Ray‘s Pather Panchali remains among both the most accomplished of debuts and cinema’s most universally relatable experiences. Accentuating the basics of human emotions to result in the most complex of reactions, Ray’s subsequent trilogy of films follows the hardships of a Bengali boy as he passes into adulthood, a delicately powerful tale of transition that’s now been gloriously restored. »

Along with very possibly being Michael Haneke’s greatest work, Code Unknown so impresses in combining the helmer’s typically “austere” dressings and grim worldview that even many of his vocal detractors are left stunned. (Not all, of course, but there’s just no getting to certain people.) A freer work than, say, The Piano Teacher or Amour, it uses the well-known hyperlink form (which he himself worked with in 71 Fragments) but elevates above »

The End of the Tour (James Ponsoldt)
The last two trips director James Ponsoldt made to Sundance it was with two excellent dramas: Smashed and The Spectacular Now. This year, Ponsoldt returns with the often moving and consistently funny The End of the Tour. While the director’s latest may not be on par with his past two efforts, that’s not much of a problem considering the level of quality he achieves here. The End of the Tour follows a failed author, »

Watch: Gorgeous Supercut Highlights The Beauty Of Magic Hour Filmmaking
27 October 2015 9:26 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Just what is the “magic hour,” exactly? According to producer Phillip Hobbs, it’s “that delightful time in the day when everyone is exhausted and the light is just perfect.” For those who aren’t hip to filmmaking jargon, it’s that golden moment that separates dusk from twilight – when the sky is tinged with poetic splashes of purple and pink and it seems as though anything is possible. Filmmakers understandably love the magic hour; cinematographers even more so. Hell, Terrence Malick has a magic hour shot in just about every one of his movies (his last outing as a director, “To The Wonder,” often felt like one endless magic hour montage). It’s a powerful cinematic tool when used properly, and for those who are eager to see it in action, this new supercut via Fandor highlights some of the silver screen’s most memorable magic hour moments.

In his thoroughly strategized directorial debut The Gift, actor-writer Joel Edgerton recognizes curiosity as a seed. He plants one hardly five minutes in, based on the relatable subject of weird people you know in high school, and the self-amusement in seeing how they’ve turned out years later. Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall play Simon and Robyn, a married couple who have moved back to his neck of the woods after a personal tragedy in Chicago. »

Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow)
As all good sequels must learn, the key to success is delivering on the promise set forth by the original while also providing something fresh and improved. Just ask James Cameron, a master at the task, who injected action-packed life into both Aliens and Terminator 2: Judgment Day without negating or watering down the mythology still relevant beneath those newfound popcorn blockbuster sensibilities. Neither The Lost World nor Jurassic Park III did it. They »

11 Awesome Trailers That Are Better Than the Movie
14 October 2015 2:00 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Movie trailers are what get us to fork over our box office dollars, but sometimes we don't always get our money's worth.
In fact, the movie we're sold on is often underwhelming or disappointing -- failing to live up to the quality of the ad that hooked us in. (We're looking at you, "Phantom Menace.") As theaters fill with previews for this Fall's coming attractions, here are 11 previews that proved to be better than the movie.
'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace' (1999)
Back when trailers hit the internet in thumbnail vid sizes, if you wanted to really the prequel's first teaser, you had to buy a ticket to see (cringe) "Meet Joe Black." Today, we'd take a blank-faced Brad Pitt eating peanut butter over Jar-Jar any day.
'X3' (2006)

‘Gravity Falls 2×17: Dipper And Mabel Versus The Future’ Review
13 October 2015 1:30 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
“TV lied, man. If you can avoid growing up: do it.”
Gravity Falls took one of the final episodes in what might be its final season to speak directly to both the children and the young at heart who love it. When we cling to the dream of eternal youth, we sacrifice our futures on an altar that can never grant our wishes. From the episode’s opening moments Mabel lays out her vision of adolescence and adulthood as childhood with fancy clothes and musical numbers. The pictures of her face and Dipper’s pasted over business-casual paper dolls is as ridiculous and charming as everything Mabel loves, but it’s also a reminder that, like Stan in ‘A Tale of Two Stans,’ Mabel isn’t ready to grow up.
The season’s back half has flowed so naturally from that jam-packed episode in the wake of Ford’s return »

Aladdin (Ron Clements and John Musker)
The first film I recall seeing in a theater, Aladdin was certainly a formative moviegoing experience, and having recently revisited it over the summer, it still wonderfully holds up. Now coming to Blu-ray, Disney’s remastered edition includes a wealth of extra, topped by a nine-minute reel of Robin Williams outtakes, coming to life with storyboards. Also including a pair of audio commentaries, a featurette on the Broadway adaptation, and more, it’s an essential pick-up. »

An ecstatically original work of film-history-philosophy with a digital-cinema palette of acutely crafted compositions. Amour Fou seamlessly blends together the paintings of Vermeer, the acting of Bresson, and the psychological undercurrents of a Dostoevsky novel. It is an intensely thrilling and often slyly comic work that manages to combine a passionately dispassionate love story of the highest order with a larger socio-historical examination of a new era of freedom, and the tragedy beset by »

Directors: Xavier Picard and Hanna Hemila
Starring: Russell Tovey, Nathaniel Parker, Tracey Ann Oberman, Stephanie Winiecki, Ruth Gibson
Running Time: 80 minutes
Rating: U
Moomins – you either had the pleasure to grow up with them as a kid or you were really freaked out by them. If you can’t remember what side you are on, you’ve now got the chance to remember with their new adventure Moomins On The Riviera.
If you’re not aware of our leads, they’re the central characters from a book series created by Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. While it’s a welcome return of the Moomins to the big screen, it was not until the film started making waves at film festivals around the world until people started to sit up and take a bit more notice.
In this adventure the Moomins discover a washed up pirate ship and, alongside Little My and Snorkelmaiden, »

Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson)
Wes Anderson’s leap through the animated realm was a key moment that shifted his filmic characterization toward metaphysical poignancy, thus making way for Moonrise Kingdom, an impressionistically stylized portrait of a pre-Vietnam adolescent bliss. It’s not just Pierret Le Fou for children, but a story about the recreation of storytelling, appropriating aesthetics from low and high arts to burn memories of innocent times as a protection against the fears of adulthood, portrayed here as a melancholic, »

Video: Ecstasy, Agony, and Beauty in the films of Spike Jonze
3 September 2015 5:41 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
There’s something incredible special about the movies of Spike Jonze.
I don’t know if it is how he shoots them, the intimate stories, or the eclectic characters but they all seem so fresh when you watch them. As if there is nothing else like them.
Vimeo user Hello Wizard felt the same and documented the joy, pain, and utter gorgeousness of the films of Spike Jonze in a more than 5-minute video that highlights the great moments in his films: Being John Malkovich, Adaptation., Where the Wild Things Are, and Her.
Now, the hard part comes: Waiting for the next Jonze film and trying not to rewatch them all after seeing this video.

Watch: The Production Behind Kid Koala's Live Silent Film 'Nufonia Must Fall' Will Blow Your Mind
4 August 2015 10:51 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Read More: Sundance Announces 2015 Jurors: Cary Fukunaga, Winona Ryder, Edgar Wright and MoreTurntablist Eric San, also known as Kid Koala from Gorillaz, is breathing life into his graphic novel "Nufonia Must Fall" in the form of a live silent film. Academy Award-nominated production designer K.K Barrett ("Her," "Where the Wild Things Are") is directing the production and transforming Eric's pages into scenes of a film performed right in front of his audience's eyes. Barrett has materialized the characters of the graphic novel into physical puppets within a miniature set that will be projected as a film above the actual puppeteering. Live music from the Afiara String Quartet will accompany the film and provide a soundtrack to the love story that San has crafted. Watch in the clip above as we enter the mechanisms behind this incredible production, and see how all of the different components of craft, filmmaking and musical composition come. »
