FACES OF DEATH: New Key Set Available

FACES OF DEATH: New Key Set Available

At this point we are fully committed to seeing this promotion blitz for Faces of Death through to the end. We are not in it to win it, but, if we do not see this all the way through we do not know what would happen to us.   Accidents do “happen”.   In Faces of Death, the exploration of the original film’s infamous “is it real or not?” conceit continues as a woman (Ferreira) working as a content moderator for a major video platform discovers what appears to be re-enactments of murders from the original film. In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fiction, or unfolding in real time.   With just over a week…

THE KILLER Review: John Woo’s Achingly Romantic Bloodbath Returns to Cinemas

THE KILLER Review: John Woo’s Achingly Romantic Bloodbath Returns to Cinemas

The power of the gun is terrible and beautiful in equal measure in the work of John Woo, the inarguable alpha dog of the Hong Kong heroic bloodshed genre, whose unrelentingly and entertainingly violent streak in the late 80s and early 90s defined an era of melodramatic excess in action cinema. An infinite ammo clip here, a slow-motion dove there, symbols of devotion and faith scattered everywhere, there’s never been a cliche Woo didn’t define and then transcend, all in the name of high-calibre visceral emotion. Plum in the middle of his Hong Kong golden era (sandwiched between two A Better Tomorrow films and the furious double-header of Bullet in the Head and Hard Boiled) is The Killer, perhaps the most achingly romantic he has…

ALPHA Review: Violent Grief and Desperate Love

ALPHA Review: Violent Grief and Desperate Love

Grief is not a straight line that slowly leads from deep sorrow to acceptance and remembrance; it comes in waves, and can reignite like a bonfire at the strangest moments, even decades on. Fear can likewise come like an tornado that threatens to fling you into oblivion. Addiction can be a blessed relief from all that which tears at our souls, even if it kills us. Alpha, the third feature from Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane), is an exploration of wounds fresh and old, the pain of growing up an outsider, the treatment of those marked as different and those who mark themselves. In this story of a girl’s brush with death, the harsh lesson inflicted on her by a mother who blames herself for that over…

I LOVE BOOSTERS Trailer and Poster: Important Community Service

I LOVE BOOSTERS Trailer and Poster: Important Community Service

After the off-the-wall, bizarro genius of his feature Sorry to Bother You, about a man using a white voice in his telemarketing hob that leads to uncovering a conspiracy that includes people turning into horses, and his limited series I’m A Virgo, about a gentle giant (and I mean giant) who takes on his city’s not-so-super-hero, I’m ready to follow Boots Riley anywhere. And his new film I Love Boosters looks like another insane, funny, brightly coloured, raunchy, and whipsmart story. The tagline: ‘A crew of professional shoplifters take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. It’s like community service.’ The film features an all-star ensemble cast with Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza Gonzalez, LaKeith Stanfield, Don Cheadle and Demi Moore. Need we say more? Except…
