This is a crying shame, I worked on this for over a year. would of been visually groundbreaking. I can see how the money men might of been cautious with it being all CG, a style that has yet to make huge coin all on its own but to actually pull the plug at this stage. crazy people.

I've only been able to watch this at home on DVD, and the visuals are incredible even without 3D.

It's better than the actual film if you ask me.

Is this The Tall Man's world premiere then?

Should be good.

Love it!

Thanks, Sean. SNOW FLOWER is perhaps not as accomplished as JOY LUCK CLUB, but as Niels said, it is still damn fine. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you, Qinlong. I agree: RE 5 will not give Li the big break she truly deserves.

Thanks, Niels. Come to think of it, you're probably right. It's not a bad thing though, I guess, cos' there are so many gems in Asian cinema that are literally unheard of in the Western world and waiting to be discovered by Western audiences.

Todd, just cry: "oh hell what does my eyes with grief behold....?"....maybe Proyas should do a remake of Neil Gaimans Neverwhere...I have never seen the TV-version but I read the book many years ago...it had angels in it.

Impressive promos....some of it reminds me of the computer game Wolfenstein and it´s sequels, but any horror film with nazis expermenting would pale in comparison to the creepy experiments Dr Mengele performed......but I want to see this feature.

Question: "What is The Aggression Scale?"
Answer: "Home Alone Part 4"

Really cool to see my town in the pages of Twitch. Going to try to catch a few of the docs for sure.

Awesome news indeed.

The overwhelming sense of dread in the Worst Case Scenario shorts and these clips are tremendous, and I can't to see the finished product. Has shooing even wrapped yet?

Awesome! I've been dying for an adult take on HOME ALONE for years now!

I was hoping they didnt water it down....Have they? Like cut out some of the gore scenes and such. Not to mention how the anime ended with griffith and Caska....
Please tell me they didnt water it down. I heard it was going from R rated to PG. However these are only rumours i heard on the grapevine. At what point does the movie stop or does it cover what the anime covered?

Cannot figure out how the rest of us are going to see this, been teased enough, are they going to rental? Theaters? I also am a bit leery of anything that starts out with a premise (stepdad), then pigeonholes all info into the theory to the exclusion of conflicting evidence.

That being said, those of us who were there in the 90's, remember the atmosphere of "satanism under every rock", (Bob Larson anyone? Johanna Michaelson? McMartin preschool?), and I knew the McMartins, they were persecuted not prosecuted, parents were sent home with flyers, (please ask your child about any crimes that may have happened),kids were interviewed with leading questions by shrinks AFTER the parents went on their own "investigations".
All that to say I get where it would be very easy to convince any jury, in that area, in that time period , of just about anything, but I know the Purgatory's at the same time, just like the McMartin parents, started with a premise then sought to prove it.

Still don't think the boys did it, not convinced of stepdad either. Teenage boys in the 80's-90's just weren't that sophisticated, this was pre-internet, one didn't look up bomb recipes on Youtube, text buddies to plan a sophisticated murder, or get step by step instructions on satanic rituals on their Iphones. Do stupid, insane crazy weird rebellious stuff?, hell yeah. Murder in cold blood 3 boys from the area? Inconceivable.

"Screenplay-dialogue-direction"...thats a film credit that I never heard of. Now I know why Bollywood have scenes with slick macho cool dialogue delivery.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Drive is an okay film, but I have to agree with Charles' assessment of Gosling's acting/character. Not engrossing enough for me. I might add that the music in Drive is nothing special either, and I felt it actually detracted from my enjoyment of the film, particularly that "hero" song that plays at the end of the movie. As far as the cover art goes, I don't care about the wrapper if the film is good, but that's just me I guess. The one good thing I can say about Drive is that it was more watchable than the dreadful Bronson.

The Pusher trilogy is a far superior accomplishment, Refn's best so far, and I am glad I don't have to choose between the three, because I love them all. And at least there is no questioning Mads Mikkelson's acting ability.

I'll be there with bells on because I'm a nerd.

NOT digging the addition of Peter's parents though.

Wayne Wang's adaptation of Amy Tan's THE JOY LUCK CLUB was amazing, and remains one of my favorite movies ever (a fact I love beating my horror audience over the head with hahaha).

I grew up in the bay area, a white kid hanging out in a lot of first generation Asian homes, and man oh man does that movie nail it.

Can't wait to watch SNOW FLOWER now.

Too bad it went unnoticed, Li Bing Bing deserves a break on an international level. I doubt a supporting role in RE:5 will really give her that.

A fine film indeed, though I couldn't help but feel this film was somehow more about connecting Eastern and Western audiences. A classical Chinese soundtrack written by a Western composer, the somewhat poorly written character of Jackman ... at times it felt more like an attempt to get Western audiences interested in Easters films. Apart from that, the film definitely has its moments.

Seeing Lindholm and Asbeak reunited on a project is very good news. I loved "R" two years ago so I am looking forward to this one.

god bless you for pointing that out

nice review - love this movie. other great things about it are the chapter headings with Kitano's paintings, that really give the whole thing the feeling of the kid's imaginations forging new memories for later in life, the great use of perspective in the sound design (in the theatre certain lines almost sounded off mic), and the absolutely terrifying butoh nightmare sequence.

and that last half hour of Sonatine-style goofballing is just the right amount of lovely...

Look at the cast list for The Aggression Scale. That's Leland Palmer and Bobby Briggs in there.

Although most news publications not associated with MMA publish Gina Carano as an ex-MMA fighter, she technically hasn't retired. She's in limbo, unsure of is she will pursue acting, if the offers roll in, or continue with MMA and try and regain her title now that it has become vacant.

Can't say I hated it but i was disappointed, especially because Stool Pigeon was a really great surprise (thanks to Twitch), but this reliance on coincidence, and ties between cops and robbers, is getting a bit old after only the fourth Lam ive seen.

Welp. I guess you guys got my tip after all. :P

Peter seems a lot smarter in this one than in the Raimi incarnation, and he seems to crack jokes like in the comics. That's two plusses in my book.

Now if they manage to keep the "stoopid" out of the film I actually think I will be enjoying this a whole lot more than the previous trilogy (which had its moments, but meh...).

Other than different actors and having Peter in high school rather than college, I fail to see much difference.

Nice soundtrack but editing could have been better. Some sections edited with the beats would have given the movie a cooler edge.
On the flipside, i thought the new wave music did not go with the movie styling but it did add to the uniquity
I know its the movies but.. a guy with a white scorpion jacket seems so easy to spot yet the henchmen could never spot him plus the satin material seems to repel blood, dirt and rain, and is as tough as cordura.

I'm actually cool with Timberlake (between The Social Network and Alpha Dog, and the guy is funny). But man, oh man, was he horribly miscast here as a working class schmoe.

This movie sucked big time. It was a mess. Too many loopholes. Boring dialogue. Timberlake is still hopeless in acting. Eye candy Seyfried and Cillian Murphy are wasted talents.

Come on, it's more than that. It's not about writing Shakespearean, just presenting yourself in a clear manner. It doesn't take long to proofread, and the benefits can do you wonders.

I hope that this is successful enough to spawn a 3 part anime adaptation of UZUMAKI. While Higuchinsky's movie is alright, it was only based on the first volume, which was all that had been published at the time. However, in my opinion, the best and most deliciously Lovecraftian stuff happens in the following two volumes. The scope of it would make it tough to pull off as live action due to Ito adaptations usually not warranting a mega-budget but in animated form that'd be of no consequence...

Please don't use the name of the Nazarene in vain. Ya can't win 'em all after a four thousand word day and bleary eyes dude.

"Anime studio ufotable are bringing morbid manga master Junji Ito's putrid, and surreal, story of mutant zombie fish that sprout legs and attack Okinawa, Japan, to home video systems everywhere later this month."

Jesus, this sentence is terribly written.

Wow...that scene at 3:33...tentacles....reminds me of Chôjin densetsu Urotsukidôji...are we going to see animated tentacle rape...? Sharks on four legs...yep...I love it already.

Excellent! It's been awhile since a good anime horror series has crossed the ocean; and an OVA to boot! My only complaint, why mix cg creatures with 2D style? It NEVER blends well.

I'm actually looking forward to this quite a bit. I found the two Raimi ones that I saw (1 and 2) to be completely mediocre, and this one is much, much more interesting to me, from casting to tone to style (except Denis Leary, he's a bit much) than any of the previous ones.

I always have had a soft spot for the webslinger, and have been keeping my mind open about this one. Leaving aside my quibbles with retelling the origin, and the whiff of redundancy hanging around the idea of a reboot, I do like the look of the action scenes, although the skyscraper battle looks like it suffers from compulsory demasking of hero in final reel syndrome.

I also hate the idea of retconning Peter Parker's parents into being something special, as Parker should be as normal a human as possible, and everyman orphan nerd if you like. An finally the lizard needs to have a snout, purple pants and a lab coat. Still, making a movie doesn't wink the comics out of existence. And if it works as a movie - which it looks like it might - I'll definitely give it a go.

Hey check out (and like) an interesting review on the oscar nominated movie "Bullhead" by one of the contributors of Culture Catch, Mr. Judell at: http://culturecatch.com/film/bullhead

During the closing credits of the first film, they tell you what the three titles are going to be. I think the third one is called MACHETE KILLS AGAIN...but don't quote me.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Hmmm...this trailer looked very generic...some action scenes, drama scenes...well, I still want to see this.

Just wished Alex Proyas, Chris Cunningham was involved somehow...

I'm like 90% sure this was announced months ago? I guess that article had a production date and some plot details that were new.

iirc Rodriguez has mentioned that if he does a third one, he'll call it Machete Kills Again In Space

Wow. More Machete?? Maybe it should be called Machete Kills The Audience. The first film was the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen, literally a fail in every aspect, (except for lohan scenes of course)
and Danny Trejo.... either have your vocal chords removed or stop acting. Please.
