A remake of his earlier short film, Paul Solet’s GRACE made a fairly big splash at this year’s Sundance. The trailer certainly looks disturbing enough to be interesting, let’s hope it’s shown early enough in the day that we don’t have to sleep ‘Eric and Ernie-style’ for fear of nightmares.

Kazuaki Kiriya. A dab hand with the visuals but it would help if we had the slightest clue what his films were about. At least that was the case with his last effort, 2004’s CASSHERN, but has he given us a story we can follow in GOEMON? Read on to find out…
We’re taking bets on who’d win the fight between Ray Winstone’s Carlin and Tom Hardy’s Bronson.
“Where’s ya tool? What fuckin’ tool? This fuckin’ tool!”
Yatterman should be big news at this year’s festival, although I suspect that bigger news for us will be that we’ve figured out El Cable’s opening times.

Julie Delpy rolling back the years and venturing into virgin territory with this period blood bath. Whether we’ll be going to see it in Sitges is another matter.
I can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s just something I don’t quite like about her. Will she be as good as Oh Dae Suh at wielding a hammer? We’re going to find out at Sitges. Read on to see if you will too…
Ok. It’s lazy “Blogalism” but I’m going to go ahead and post up this link anyway for no other reason than it made me smile.
Premium Hollywood’s Will Harris offers up sixteen of his favourite John Hughes quotes.
There’s writing and then there’s writing. Genius.
News of the death of an actor or director can trigger that effect where images, scenes, memories and feelings, previously stored in some unconsciously categorised recess of the mind, rush forward to flood your thoughts in an instant. It happened last year on hearing the sad news of the death of Paul Newman, and again this morning on hearing John Hughes had passed.
The film that first raced to the front of my mind was, of course, FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF. The film of a generation perhaps, but I say the film of any generation. On the surface for some a popcorn flick with a glut of quotable one-liners to see you through summer, but for me it was much more and on so many different subtle levels. Evidenced by the fact that an indirect reference to it now brings so many emotions flooding back.
This is a nice piece over at The Auteurs Daily, particularly where Alison Willmore talks about the “FightClub theory”, something I’d never heard associated with Ferris.
He may have been paraphrasing but I liked Ferris’ philosophical take on things and still refer to it today….
“Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

John Woo’s bad-asses carry TWO guns. Musashi is so bad-ass he carries TWO samurai swords……and he was the real deal so legend would have it. But can Mamoru Oshii bring this 16th century swashbuckler screaming into Sitges? See what we think here
