Frame of Mind – a short film by Zornitsa Petkova, Trailer

I came across a little known director, who’s first short film has stood out from the crowd,  So far this film has been selected for the Marbella film festival and various independent film screening venues like the Roxy Screening Bar and Kino London.

I have included a trailer below “Frame of Mind”

“Frame of mind” is a visual short film based on a true story. A story of the unexpected romantic encounter of a boy and a girl. An almost forgotten way of flirting…….

Please lets us know what you think…

Cherry Tree Lane – Film review

Paul Andrew Williams, is a very interesting up and coming British Director for me. He makes choices in this film that are reflective of today’s british culture and raw in terms of putting together a film which has thrown together a working middle class family and todays street gang culture. Except the gang are uninvited and completely unexpected.

It’s is essentially about a family who’s son gets involved in gang culture. Their son has done something which has made the gang leader mad! The gang bust into their house hold and physically, emotionally destroy this family. It has a really good unexpected twist at the end, which leaves you with a few unanswered questions!!

Given the script and the location i think it’s cleverly put together and not for the faint hearted as this is a good british horror opening the imagination and giving us an insight as to what is happening in Britain today.

Verdict? – Go seek out!!

Paul Andrew Williams, is the man behind films such as London To Brighton and The Cottage

Single Man

This will be in cinemas, next week,

Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A SINGLE MAN, is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor [Colin Firth] who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim [Matthew Goode]. George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley [Julianne Moore], a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George’s, Kenny [Nicholas Hoult], who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit.

A SINGLE MAN is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.

The story is an adaptation based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood and is directed by Tom Ford.

A SINGLE MAN will be released at cinemas across the UK on Friday 12th February 2010.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief – trailer

I went to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians on Sunday, and I have to say, it’s a complete classic. I was captivated all the way through, both the plot structure and the depth of characters drew me into a world where myths and legends blend together. I have put the trailer below, so you can see for yourself. It an unexpected line up with the Hot Uma Thurman, Steve Coogan, Pierce Brosnan and a whole load of other exciting big names.

Lebanon – Film Review

A few weeks ago, I went to see an israeli independent film called Lebanon, directed by Samuel Maoz. This film is based on personal experiences of being in a war tank in Lebanon. Yes, it scared me all the way through and at some point I coudn’t watch. This film is so real it’s almost a documentary. It shows strength and type it takes to go to war, be in war and sitting in a battle tank for weeks on end with no communication with the outside world, except for the radio which goes back to the control center. This film is not for the faint hearted or for the guys and girls out there who like romcoms. This film is about the breakdown of communication and a team who start out with no experience of war in the fields of Lebanon, except that they end up being lead down the wrong path and communication gets disjointed and the fear of death starts to creep into the guys in the tank..

Lebanon will give you a brilliant insight to what it’s like being a real Israeli soldier at war. The storytelling is brilliant and it’s clearly on a small budget, but for what they have done, I salute them in bringing the harsh realities of the real people in war to the screen!

No wonder it won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival.

Watching the evening news in the same way again!

Toy Story 2-3D

I went to see Toy Story 2 in 3D this week, and I have to say I really enjoyed the experience. OK, you have put on the 3D special effect glasses, which by the way have come along way from the shades I put on for JAWS. If you love the Toy Story series, I would go see it, which makes a nice follow up to the new Toy Story 3 which will be in Cinemas Julay 23rd 2010.

EDGE OF DARKNESS – trailer

Not sure what to make of this one just yet,  it’s a thriller and my toes curling suspense radar is hitting red  just watching the trailer, so I guess its working….

SYNOPSIS

EDGE OF DARKNESS is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her murder.  His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder — and to CIA operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone) who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

EDGE OF DARKNESS is released in cinemas across the UK on 29^th January 2010. Certificate and running time TBC
