Sundance Winner ANIMAL KINGDOM Finds A US Home!

Action, Drama, UK, Ireland, Australia & New Zealand

That Australian crime thriller Animal Kingdom would get a release here in North America was pretty much a sure thing. When you win the big prize at Sundance and people compare a debut film maker to Martin Scorsese, that'll tend to happen. What we didn't know was with who. Well, come on down Sony Pictures Classics. This bodes well, in my mind as SPC have the muscle of a big company behind them as well as the intimacy that comes with being a small brand that'll allow for some really personal attention to be paid to the picture. Now all we need is a release date.

The Art of Self-Incrimination: A Social Media inflected CHRONICLE

by Kurt Halfyard, February 6, 2012 11:22 AM

*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,... More »
