Trailer: Aftershock
Aftershock is a natural disaster film that's all about the resulting human drama. It's Nicolas Lopez's first domestic directing gig, and stars (and is produced by) Eli Roth. It centers around a gang of friends on a trip to Chile as they're hit by an earthquake that also releases some folks from an asylum nearby. Even if that premise sounds awfully goofy, the trailer looks gritty enough to work. I'm just worried that the whole thing might be too corny. But then again, cheesy horror has its place too. I'll keep an an eye out for it when it releases sometime next year. [via IGN] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

11:00 AM on 05.24.2013 New World War Z poster isn't even trying anymoreWorld War Z with Brad Pitt is pretty much DOA. We know, for instance, that the bloated, unfaithful, neutered (it's a bloodless PG-13) adaptation of the Max Brooks book will need to make $400 million just to break even, and th...

7:00 PM on 05.17.2013 Book: Peter Cushing: A Life in FilmPeter Cushing is an icon, instantly recognizable for his angular face and his precise elocution. He's best known for his Hammer roles as Dr. Frankenstein and Van Helsing, as well as playing Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars. He'...

10:00 AM on 05.15.2013 Trailer: Berberian Sound StudioWhen I saw Peter Stricckland's Berberian Sound Studio last year at the New York Film Festival, it felt like two-thirds of a potentially great movie. The film was sort of like Barton Fink but for foley artists and a...

6:30 PM on 05.07.2013 Tribeca Interview: The directors of V/H/S/2It's odd how things work. The day after I wrote a very negative review about a found footage movie I didn't like, I wound up interviewing four of the directors responsible for V/H/S/2, a found footage movie that I did like. G...
