Joon-ho Bong’s Snowpiercer is a grimy and dismal vision of the future. There’s nothing cheery about a post-apocalyptic future, and if living has more in common with being a prisoner of war (cramped conditions, no windows, questionably non-descript food) it might not be worth struggling for survival. But it’s not all doom and gloom. True, this is about preserving the last souls on Earth, but it’s not without a handful of wacky Korean conventions that few aside from Joon-ho Bong can provide with such style and balance. Even as the last hope for humanity speeds its way through our now frozen planet, there’s still time for humor peppering a multitude…

G-S-T Review…Drafthouse Films’ Nothing Bad Can Happen
Faith is a powerful motivator. Provided it is guided and fueled with the right intent and passion it can affect all those around you. But people of faith might be so focused that they are easily manipulated and that, on the surface, is what Katrin Gebbe sets to show us with her debut feature. From the very first frame, even considering the title of the film, it’s an absolute certainty that this affair will end in misery but what makes the events depicted even more gruesome is that they actually happened. Gebbe’s film is based on true events and once you start this ride, well, a quote from Lena Headey in…

G-S-T Review…Coherence
Our lives are filled with endless possibilities – paths taken and not taken – and there are limitless ways our day might play out should we chose, or chose not to do something. But what if, somehow, we got to see how each of the decisions we make, however small they may be, can affect and set up the events to follow? Pretty bold concept but it’s one that up and coming writer/director James Ward Byrkit sets to show us on a very small stage. Granted it’s impossible to show every possibility but Byrkit, omitting the more mundane and trivial ones, makes Coherence a very intimate and at times rather…

Interview…Film Composer John Debney Contemporizes History with the Music to ‘Bonnie & Clyde’
Combining contemporary sounds, dustbowl folk, and jazz, film composer John Debney captures and compliments the drama and exhilaration in A&E Networks’ Bonnie & Clyde. Debney’s score blends modern electronic elements with classic orchestral sounds evocative of the period to help tell the story of America’s famed and iconic bank-robbing couple, played by Emile Hirsch and Holliday Grainger. The robust soundtrack perfectly underscores Academy Award nominated director Bruce Beresford’s epic TV adaptation. John Debney has a proven ability to create memorable music across a variety of genres, and has garnered a reputation of being remarkably collaborative. He has received numerous accolades for his talents and Debney is the youngest recipient of ASCAP’s prestigious…

Sweet Trailer…’The Expendables 3′
“Fool me once“, as the say, “shame on you“. Fool me twice, shame on me. But how will we the audience fare on our third time down the action-heavy rabbit hole? Guess we’ll find out this August. Considering how well Captain America: The Winter Soldier did this April we find that studios are continually kicking off the Summer movie season earlier and earlier. But really, that was more of an appetizer as the coming months hold all true tent-pole films – those big budget blockbuster hopefuls looking to hit their critical and financial marks. So enter Sly and company’s third at bat in his ’80s styled shoot ’em up revival…

Ohhh, Look…First Posters for Universal’s ‘Dracula Untold’
Regardless of whether you’ve had your fill of vampires or just can’t get enough of those iconic blood-suckers Universal Pictures is planning something special for fans of the undead this Fall. You’ve probably seen Luke Evans in Fast & Furious 6 and/or Immortals but will play the stars in this “origin story” which, we’re paraphrasing, will be the mother, er father, (granddaddy??) of all vampire movies. We’re not going to knock Universal’s last foray into the realm of classic monster movies too much as Van Helsing was fun for what it was. But as Dracula Untold sets to walk a more serious line, and as cool as the gothic imagery is,…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…Alejandro Iñárritu’s ‘Birdman’
OK, stop what you’re doing. There’s a new Michael Keaton movie on the horizon….and to those of you skimming the title and body of this post too fast, no, he’s not taking up a new cape and kicking crime’s ass (we wish). But he is however starring in the latest from Alejandro Innaritu. In a premise so crazy it might just work fantastically (again, we hope) Michael Keaton is, in fact playing a has-been actor who played a superhero earlier in his career and now seeks so reclaim his former glory in this dark and slightly trippy looking comedy. [Disclaimer: this is in no way autobiographical] This week we’ve seen…
