Sound Off: Joe Carnahan's Thriller 'The Grey' - What Did You Think?

By Alex Billington

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Live or Die on This Day. Arriving in theaters everywhere is Joe Carnahan's latest film The Grey, a survival thriller about pipeline workers whose plane crashes in the relentless Alaskan wilderness. Liam Neeson stars as Ottway, a survivalist expert, along with Frank Grillo (Diaz) and Dermot Mulroney (Talget). So how is it? How does the film compare to other survival, man-vs-nature thrillers? Is it as awesome as many have claimed, and as the trailer looks? How is it for a January movie? Once you've seen it, post a comment with your own thoughts on Joe Carnahan's The Grey.

Sundance 2012 Video Blog: Awesome New Horror Anthology 'V/H/S'

By Alex Billington

The found footage "genre" has become trend in Hollywood, with new Paranormal Activity's replacing the Saw films every year, and many more to come. When it comes to horror found footage films, Sundance has a strong history, with Blair Witch Project premiering back in 1999. Jump ahead 13 years to 2012 and here we are with another genre reinvention, this time refreshing the horror anthology idea with a found-footage film titled V/H/S, about VHS footage, produced by Brad Miska of Bloody-Disgusting. It's an awesome collection of six freaky, fantastic horror films rolled into one and we've got our first video blog about it to watch below.

Sundance 2012 Blog: In It for the Long Run - All the Way to Sunday!

By Alex Billington

I'm here all the way to the very end. Even though this is my sixth year at the Sundance Film Festival, for those past five years straight, I've attended all 10 days of the fest. Sundance (and most major film festivals) last a full 10 days, which is quite a long time when you think about it, spending 10 days in one location watching movies non-stop every single day. It's exhausting, mentally and physically, that's for sure, but I love it. I'm one of those people who does not bail early, who'll stay to the end just to stay to the end, just to get the full experience and most importantly catch up on any films that I really need to see before it's over.

Full Trailer for Adventure Sequel 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island'

By Ethan Anderton

"The island is real." Back before 3D started making its way to respectable films and all the rage hit the big screen, there was the gimmick theme park ride of Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D with Brendan Fraser and Josh Hutcherson. While the former isn't back for the sequel, the latter star (soon to be seen in The Hunger Games as well), is back with Dwayne Johnson coming along for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Frankly I don't know why they don't just lose the colon and have the number work as a word, but I digress. It's not my cup of tea, but we have a new trailer with plenty of adventure. Watch!

Check This Out: Cool Fan-Made 'Dark Knight Rises' Credit Sequence

By Ethan Anderton

We're still waiting for another trailer for The Dark Knight Rises to surface, but a read pointed out that franchise fan Doğan Can Gündoğdu has crafted something that just might whet your appetite. Though there haven't been any opening credit sequences in either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, Can Gündoğdu has put together quite a cool opening for the film. It feels like it's from a different director, not within Nolan's style, and could actually be used as the opening for a gritty new Batman crime series instead. We probably won't see any credit sequence in the anticipated, but this is still pretty awesome. Watch it!

Watch: New Domestic Trailer for Sci-Fi 'Lockout' Starring Guy Pearce

By Ethan Anderton

Towards the end of December we caught another trailer for the sci-fi film Escape from M.S. One, but here in the United States the film will be known as Lockout. And now we have another trailer for domestic audiences that brings the action again. The film stars Guy Pearce as a felon hired to go to a Maximum Security space station prison to rescue a girl, Maggie Grace. Guy Pearce hasn't really made the best choices in films lately, but I always look forward to his next project and this looks cool as hell. This could be a return to form for the actor and hopefully a surprisingly good sci-fi flick for 2012. Watch the trailer below!

Stephen Dorff Stuck in a Car Trunk in First Trailer for Thriller 'Brake'

By Ethan Anderton

In 2010 I found myself completely impressed by the claustrophobic thriller Buried starring Ryan Reynolds which takes place entirely in a coffin buried underground. Now a similar concept comes along in the form of Brake, a new thriller starring Stephen Dorff. However, this film seems to raise the stakes and promises plenty of suspense as it follows a secret service agent who wakes up stuck in the trunk of a car and soon discovers that he's part of a bigger terrorist attack that has car bombs blowing up all over Washington D.C. The film was shot in just 11 days, and it really looks like it could be something pretty damn cool. Watch!

Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener Join Kaufmans' 'Frank or Francis'

By Ethan Anderton

Since his 2008 debut Synecdoche, New York, writer/director Charlie Kaufman hasn't gone behind the camera again, but now the filmmaker will be in the director's chair very soon with the musical comedy Frank or Francis gearing up for production. Steve Carell, Jack Black, Nicolas Cage and Kevin Kline are already signed on for the story about a director (Carell) who becomes obsessed with the message board commenter (Black) disparaging his movies on a Hollywood website, but now some familiar female faces are joining the mix as Vulture reports Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener will star in the very meta film.

Russell Brand Gets Into the Ghost Business for 'The Hauntrepreneur'

By Ethan Anderton

After being announced last summer, it looks like Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes are moving forward with their horror comedy The Hauntrepreneur as Variety reports Russell Brand is now attached to the project. This comes after Russell Brand stepped away from another ghostly film in the form of Rentaghost (which is now being tailored for Ben Stiller), and the story revolves around a family that has trouble adjusting to a new town and hires a peculiar man called the Hauntrepreneur to help them. In an attempt to bring them together, the man creates a haunted house filled with an odd cast of characters.

Sundance 2012: Magnolia Picks Up Terrific Horror Anthology 'V/H/S'

By Alex Billington

Another big Sundance sale we definitely need to highlight. Heat Vision is reporting that Magnolia Pictures has closed on a roughly $1 million deal for US rights to V/H/S, the horror anthology film that premiered in the Midnight category at Sundance. I caught the premiere at midnight and loved it, it's awesome, potentially the kind of film that could push the found-footage genre and reinvent horror anthology. The film features five short horror segments made to look like they're on VHS, plus a wrap-around story, and they're all freaky and fantastic. It will hit VOD and also be in theaters, as is the norm with Magnolia's Ultra VOD program.

"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" Mondo Tees created a fantastic series of posters for the Planet of the Apes franchise last May during a screening series at the Alamo Drafthouse called "Day of the Apes". For some reason, these posters are just getting revealed in full online now, and extras will be sold off this week. A number of different sites (via Collider) have unveiled five of the official posters for the five movies in the franchise, with a sixth one promoting the event thrown in for good measure, too. If you're an Apes fanatic like our own Brandon Tenney, you'll go crazy for these posters. Check 'em out below!

Sundance 2012: 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' is Phenomenal Cinema

By Alex Billington

This is it. This is the discovery of Sundance 2012. The film that everyone is going to be talking about after the fest. And it lives up to the hype. But forget about all of that, go see this without knowing anything about it, just that it's phenomenal, and you'll experience it the way all of us did. Beasts of the Southern Wild, directed by Benh Zeitlin and created by the collective Court 13, is an utterly phenomenal piece cinema, an astounding, mesmerizing, heartbreaking, wonderful adventure taking us to another world, a world set in wet southern Louisiana known as the "Bathtub". This is a film that reminds me why I love cinema so much.
