The Pulpmovies Trailer Park

This looks like a fun film and one that is already garning a very positive reaction. Shades of Grey is also another one that you can watch online - so no excuses. In fact, it’s even split into 11 chapters so you can leave if you have to and come back to it later.

According to Movies Online

Eric is a bastard. He has systematically humiliated, back-stabbed and left out to dry his five best friends. Now it’s their turn. Sneaking into his place one night, they swipe his “little black book” containing the names and sexual habits of the forty-odd women he’s slept with. Now, he has to prove to them that he’s truly sorry or the book is going in the mail…to his girlfriend, the one woman he thinks he might actually love.

Iraqi tale wins at San Sebastian

Iraq war film Turtles Can Fly - about a village awaiting the US invasion - has won the top prize at Spain’s San Sebastian Film Festival.

Turtles Can Fly

In a village in Iraqi Kurdistan, on the border between Iran and Turkey, the villagers desperately seek for a satellite dish antenna in order to keep updated on the impending attack of the Americans in Iraq… Coming from another village with his younger sister and her child, a mutilated boy has a foreboding: the war is getting closer and closer…

It’s difficult to say anything about this as I speak neithet Kurdish nor Spanish, but you can watch the trailer here:

Feisto - a video by Frank Moore

On the surface, it is your standard story of a clothes designer who finds a creature (guess who!) definitely not from HERE who totally turns her life upside down. But what it really explores is the warm playing erotic small sexual messy fun turned-on reality between two people … an ice cream cone melting throughout life!

The trailer for this film reminded me, more than anything, of Lars von Trier’s The Idiots and it certainly looks interesting.

You can watch the trailer here and the full here - something I plan to do in the very near future.

A message of hope from God’s little girl.

According to the promo text for this film:

Jesus and Her Gospel of Yes is one of the best naked acid trip Jesus films that you will ever see! Wow, you are going to love this film. It is sort of like if you used the set from H. R. Puff-n-stuff to tell Bible stories! No, it is like if you took the original cast from that terrible Batman television show from the ’70s and had them act out the life of Jesus with a cross-dresser and a couple of lesbian strippers! No, it is like watching that Davey and Goliath claymation series after consuming enough acid to kill a herd of elephants!

There are layers and layers of odd images washing over people who are doing nonsensical things with cheesy props while orators shout poetry over each other and strange music fades in and out! It is two hours of the most chaotic, f***ed up stuff you have ever seen. The film is so bizarre and funny the peope who made it are either going to win a bunch of awards or get arrested (probably both)!!!”

It all sounds deliriously loopy and is showing at the New York Independent Film Festival on 1st October.

And here is the trailer: Quicktime, Windows Media

The full trailer for Blade: Trinity is now online and it looks spectacular.

Not surprisingly, there is a bit more plot information than was provided by the teaser - Blade is captured by the authorities who (reasonably enough) suspect him of being a psychopath. Fortunately for blade, he is rescued by the “Nightstalkers”, a team of vampire hunters who can count Whistler’s daughter as one of their number.

Not so fortunately, the vampires are planning a final solution…

Canadian Illustrator and designer John Howe, famous for his important illustrations of JRR Tolkien’s works has been one of the main creators of the visual universe of Peter Jackson’s adaptation of the Lord of The Rings.

Now, since destiny has led Mr. Howe to live in our city of Neuchâtel, some natives supportedly close to NIFFF have joined forces with friends from La Maison d’Ailleurs in Yverdon and Solid Entertainment in Sweden to launch the idea of a real movie on John Howe’s life and work.

What might have remained an ethereal idea has now become a film, directed by Anders Banke and François Boetschi, which premieres in our cousin of Lund (Sweden), the Fantastik Film Festival. Attended by John Howe, the screening will take place on September 19.

Shot using various formats including 35 mm scope (!), There and Back Again includes lots of beautiful sequences in the Neuchâteloise Nature and settings, source among others of John Howe’s vivid inspiration.

There and Back Again premiered at the Neuchâtel Fantastik Filmfestival, but you can watch the trailer here…

A Dirty Shame, the next film from Trash King, John Waters is decribed as:

… rude, joyous and full of sexual anarchy. A movie with a generous heart and a dirty mind. In other words, a classic John Waters comedy.

The film stars Tracey Ullman and Johnny Knoxville and tells the story of the clash between a horde of horny “sex addicts” and their “neuter”neighbours. And I’m looking forward to it already.

Take a look at the trailer…

A one night, one time only concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in which some of the greatest performers in the history of Blues music, including BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Steven Tyler and Macy Gray performed together. Lightning in a Bottle captures the emotional spontaneity that only live performances of the Blues can. Interviews with BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Chris Thomas King, Dr. John, Jimmie Vaughn, Honeyboy Edwards, Ruth Brown, Shemekia Copeland, Solomon Burke, Steve Jordan, and Vernon Reid.

From the sheer range of musicians involved - including Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Macy Gray and Robert Cray - this film really does look like one to catch - not just for lovers of the Blues, but for all music lovers.

Somerset Maugham, it is the story of reigning diva Julia Lambert whose success and fame grow suddenly wearisome.

A Dangerous Liaisons set in the glittering world of London theatre, Being Julia is at once playful, sexy and viciously satisfying.
