THE RAID Will Punch Sundance In The Face.

Yes, Jakarta is coming to Utah.

The Sundance Film Festival has just announced their Spotlight, Midnight and Next programs - more on those is separate posts - and Gareth Huw Evans' Indonesian martial arts picture The Raid will be making the trip to the big festival as part of the Spotlight section.

All hell breaks loose when an elite SWAT team, given orders to raid a run-down Jakarta apartment building that houses the city's most notorious crime boss, is forced to fight their way to freedom or die trying.

Let's just say The Raid is slightly different than the sort of film Sundance is best known for exhibiting. Bring bandaids.

Hollywood Grind: Barry Sonnenfeld and the Value of a Journeyman

by Peter Martin, May 24, 2012 12:22 PM

The sequel that the original deserved, Men in Black 3 is not exactly fresh, but it is an honest journeyman's effort by director Barry Sonnenfeld, and features a peachy-fine performance by Josh Brolin, who easily outshines putative star Will Smith. That in itself is something of an accomplishment; Smith has been so hell-bent on creating and maintaining a bad-ass... More »

Now that the Razzie Awards for the worst films of the year have devolved into cheap shots at easy targets, perhaps it's time for their foreign equivalents to carry on the torch. Consider France's Gérard Awards, which, at the very least, have a lot more fun with the titles of their prizes. They also manage to put a few awards-darlings... More »
