FourScore Match-Up #20: “The Colossus of Clout”
This year, on the 60th anniversary of Ishiro Honda’s landmark film, we’ll get to see Gareth Edwards’ reinvention of the world-famous Toho monster. In the subsequent decades since Godzilla first lumbered out of the water we’ve see other mightily impressive creatures (with some equally impressive firepower) blaze across the screen yet of the biggest and baddest Gojira reigns supreme. Over the years he’s retained the title of “King of the Monsters” but he didn’t earn his moniker easily – there are some memorable, and equally gargantuan, baddies who can and have gone toe-to-toe with Toho’s big screen icon. Today we look up, way up, like into the clouds up to see…

Ohhh, Look…Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson Discuss the Absurdity and Charm of 'Frank'
Michael Fassbender might be known for his face, and thanks to 300 his body, and thanks to Steve McQueen another part of his body, but how effective can an actor’s performance be if we can’t see their face? Well that’s what Film4’s Frank set to find out. If you had your finger on the pulse of the festival circuit (or attended any fests in the past months) you’ll know that Fassbender shines right through his giant papier mache cowl and delivers one of his finest (and funniest) performances to date. But if all the praise goes over the heads of film fans then why not get a testimonial directly from…

Sweet (International) Trailer…’Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’
This Summer, Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In) will unleash the Simian uprising better known as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Actually, as far as the timeline of the time goes, the apes have pretty much won due largely in part to the “Simian Flu” outbreak that has decimated the human population. This sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes begins a decade after the events of the 2011 film and tells how the apes have continued to grow in number and intelligence. The next installment of the Apes franchise puts humanity on the brink of extinction and all-out war to decide who will now rule the planet…but we…

Sweet TV Trailer…'Gotham'
While we’re not really into TV programs (well, we watch a lot of it we just don’t report/post much of it), we’re excited about what Fox will give Bat-fans this fall. As films, namely comic-based ones, are continually finding success having their universes explored and expanded on the small screen (you ever hear of a little show called Smallville?) now DC is showing us the city that raised young Master Wayne in the wake of his parents’ deaths. Originally this series was envisioned like a Batman before he was Batman, the show changed focus to instead follow a young Jim Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie). It’s actually pretty intriguing that…

[USAFF Review]…Finding Neighbors
Director Ron Judkins draws from personal experience in his latest film, Finding Neighbors. His latest effort is a story about an author who has reached the end of his professional career. Caddyshack’s Michael O’Keefe (in the film) has rode out his wave of fame, and, over a period of 30 years, has seen all that the entertainment industry has to offer. Yet, after so much time, as he looks back he feels he’s been sleepwalking through it all. It’s only after waking up – three decades later, and in what feels like a hangover – he’s able to assess where he is in life. Suffice to say she’s not happy.…

[USAFF Review]…Fading Gigolo
John Turturro writes and directs his fifth film, Fading Gigolo, and weaves an interesting narrative to say the very least. In short, Fading Gigolo is about John Turturro and Woody Allen playing, no joke, “a pimp and a prostitute.” Let that sink in, because you probably won’t believe it until you see it. No, this is not a ’70s revival film, nor is it a wacky Austin Powers inspired narrative. This is quite a sophisticated, upscale, and frank story about people looking for a connection, and a very particular one at that. With ‘Giggilo’ in the title, one might think that connection means sex and all the escapades that go…

Video Interview…’Locke’ Writer/Director Steven Knight
The latest brilliant cinematic offering from across the pond is the Steven Knight drama Locke. Both written and directed by Knight, Locke tells the story of a man who in one night must decide between a myriad of jeopardies. Knight, known for penning Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things, crafts and then directs Hardy in this dramatic one man tour de force. It’s a stunning film, one that blurs the line between cinema and theater, and even more stunning is the conception and execution of Knight’s gripping narrative. A masterpiece of writing and acting, the film is as impacting as it is riveting but also it deserves to be lauded…

G-S-T Review…Locke
Steven Knight (writer Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) writes and directs this gripping one man show starring: everyone’s favorite screen sociopath, Tom Hardy. It’s a film reminiscent of the 2010 Ryan Reynolds film, Buried, in that it’s all about Tom Hardy, and revolves around a single important moment in his life. The film is simply about a man trying to make amends for one mistake, yet in attempting to set this one thing right, he’s at risk of losing everything else he has going for him. It’s an impressive character study. Some can argue the merits for and against his decisions at length, yet at the end of the day, right or wrong, what Ivan…
