Today KAULDER is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to KAULDER, the QUEEN WITCH is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.

NEW Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer Tributing Katniss and Prim’s Sisterhood

Posted on by — Leave a reply

The new trailer and poster for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 has been released earlier today and so far the comments on it have been mixed. This is Lionsgate’s final installment for the Hunger Games movie franchise, where we will finally get to see Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) take on the Capitol. In this new trailer we see glimpses in the past of Katniss and Prim’s (Willow Shields) relationship, and just how important that relationship was for this revolution. Many Hunger Games fans can see this trailer as a tribute to how important Prim was to the over arching story, however many others see this as a horrible fan made trailer. Despite the marketing choices that have been made for promoting the film, there is no doubt that the hype for Mockingjay Part 2 has not died.

Check out the trailer and poster below.

Mockingjay Part 2 will be in theaters and IMAX on November 20th.

Although rebels now control most of Panem, the girl on fire must still overcome one last challenge to win President Snow’s “game” – to conquer the Capitol at the risk of losing her friends.

The New Trailer for ‘Creed’ has Arrived

Creed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema have release a new trailer for  Ryan Coogler’s CREED starring Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa and Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.

Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born.  Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer.  Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend.  Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?

Creed opens everywhere on November 25th

What Do You Get When You Mix Josh Homme, Justice, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Grace Jones and Lemmy? ‘Gutterdämmerung’!

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Gutter

The forthcoming loud and dark fairytale Gutterdämmerung is a new rock ‘n’ roll / film / gig concept from the mind of Belgian-Swedish visual artist Bjorn Tagemose. Gutterdämmerung is part rock show part immersive cinema experience featuring some of the biggest rock names on the planet including Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Eagles Of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes, Motörhead’s Lemmy, Tom Araya, Mark Lanegan, Volbeat, Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme and Justice. Two more rock ‘n’ roll names will be revealed in the coming weeks leading up to the big reveal of Gutterdämmerung’s earth shaking cinema trailer.

Much in the tradition of classic movies of 1920’s Hollywood, the film is mostly silent but instead of a lone piano a live rock band of rock express the emotions and action whilst special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience. Think of a deafening rock ‘n’ roll version of Secret Cinema taking place in hell and you might just begin to have an idea of what Gutterdämmerung is.

This spectacular film will tour with it’s live band and a live narrator early 2016.

Jordan’s Review: Why you shouldn’t ‘Pay the Ghost’.

Posted on by — Leave a reply

For those of you who are excited for this October’s spooky festivities, you may be better off turning your attention away from Nicolas Cage’s new horror flick, Pay the Ghost. Alongside the lackluster Academy Award Winner is The Walking Dead actress, Sarah Wayne Callies, who out of the two of them, gave a more believable performance. The film was brought to us by critically acclaimed German director, Uli Edel, who’s 2008 film, The Baadere Meinhof Complex, was nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Yet despite all the award winners and nominees, the film lacked immensely in its scare factor.

After a weak and not-so-scary opener, the story moves into modern-day New York City, where we see the lives of Mike (Cage) and Kristen Cole (Callies) with their son Charlie (Jack Fulton). The plot quickly shows signs of a supernatural presence outside Charlie’s bedroom window, which of course is immediately disregarded by his mother and father. It wasn’t until Halloween night that Charlie started seeing the ghost more closely. While he and his father were attending a Halloween Festival on their block, Charlie turned to his father and told him to “pay the ghost,” which as most parents would, Mike assume he was talking about all the costumes and decorations. Then only a few moments later, Charlie disappeared.

Pay the Ghost, never brought anything new to the realm of horror. If anything it felt as though it copied from other films, such as James Wan’s Insidious. The film felt lazy considering the amount of plot holes, which occasionally made the film funny rather than frightening. Overall, Pay the Ghost might appeal to some, however for the real horror film connoisseurs, this film might not be the scare you are looking for this Halloween season.

New Trailer for ‘Brand: A Second Coming’ – 1 of 2 different documentaries about Russell Brand

Posted on by — Leave a reply

russell brand

What? Two documentaries about Russell Brand? Yep, actually Brand: A Second Coming debuted at SXSW before The Emperor’s New Clothes at the Tribeca Film Festival. The Emperor’s New Clothes released only in UK theaters.

BRAND: A Second Coming chronicles actor / comedian / activist Russell Brand on his journey from addict, self-proclaimed narcissist and Hollywood star living in the fast-lane to his current, and unexpected, role as political disruptor and newfound hero to the underserved.  Criticized for egomaniacal self-interest, Brand injects his madness into the world and calls for revolution.  He stays the course with an irreverent courage that inspires a new generation of activists to rise up against the ever-increasing world engorged in Consumerism.

Can Brand rise against the roar of criticism from the very system that built him?  Does he have the fortitude, resilience and commitment to keep up the fight?  Will he find true happiness which has eluded him since childhood?  BRAND: A Second Coming takes audiences behind the scenes of this wildly complex man for an intimate look at what drives Russell Brand as he continues to be the consummate disruptor.

Written and Directed by Ondi Timoner

STARRING RUSSELL BRAND also featuring Katy Perry, Oliver Stone, Mike Tyson, David Lynch, Noel Gallagher, Rosie O’Donnell, Simon Amstell, Stephen Merchant, Rosie Perez, Barbara Brand (Russell’s mother), Ron Brand (Russell’s father), Jonathan Ross, Daniel Pinchbeck
