Thanks for this bit of news Roystalin! I loved Greg Mclean's "Wolf Creek" - very gruesome but a genuinely creepy movie. I am definitely interested in seeing this film and hopefully it won't be like the other alligator-in-the-lake movie "Lake Placid" which was horrible. My favorite alligator movie still has to be Lewis Teague's "Alligator". Too bad its sequel (Alligator 2: The Mutation) was a major disappointment and beyond bad.
I've been hearing bad things about this, but based on McLean's strong work with rote material in WOLF CREEK I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (Radha Mitchell gets a pass in my book, too for now).
This has been pushed so many times I'm just assuming it'll be a DTV title in the states. Just hurry up and release it, either way!
I'm a sucker, as I am inexplicably a fan of giant aligator/croc films and think this film looks pretty enjoyable. If your jonesin' for some more "Australian Croc films" Check out 1987's Dark Age which is a really fun film....even though it is a bit difficult to track down.
Saw Rogue at Sitges and nothing good to report. I'm a fan of Wolf Creek and monster croc/alligator movies like Alligator and Dark Age. It was absolutely painful watching this movie and how bad it turned out to be. I'm very sad to say this.
For part two of our Berlinale 2012 Preview (here's part one - the Competition Lineup), we'll be highlighting titles in the Forum and Panorama sections. What's the difference? According to the festival, the Forum section includes the most daring and risk-taking films of the program, while the Panorama section includes films specifically targeted at buyers (who are generally not...

For the second time in two years, I am frustrated and a bit sad to begin discovering the work of a great, oft-overlooked filmmaker upon reading news of their death. Such was the case last year with Jean Rollin, whose passing prompted me to dig into his filmography and in turn discover one of the most unique genre filmmakers...

Berlinale 2012 kicks off in three days, and with its vast, diverse international program, preparation is mandatory. So, between stockpiling warm clothes and memorizing how to say "I don't speak German" in German, I've been combing the program and singling out potential highlights in each festival category. I'll be sharing these over the next several days before I depart,...

*Some Spoilers, Fair Warning*Perhaps a goofy co-incidence that Facebook filed with the SEC to launch its $5 Billion (with a B) initial public offering in the same week as this viral/web advertised film hit cinema screens. The dollar value for the filing is itself equal parts news-catcher, market-hubris and ultimately an underscore on where society, in the here and now,...

The Weinsteins will either quickly dump this on DVD or dump it in the dregs of January/February next year. That's my guess.
