Trailer: Holy Motors
So what is Holy Motors? I'd love to tell you, but I can't tell for the life of me, even after watching this trailer twice. There seems to be some stuff happening with a scarred man with one white eye, a motion capture studio, and Kylie Minogue is singing a song and looking cute with short hair. What I do know is that the film just premiered at Cannes and is one of the most talked about movies at the festival, for good or ill. It's also director Leos Carax's first movie in thirteen years. That's Terrence Malick territory. While I don't know much of anything about this movie, I am certainly intrigued by this odd little trailer. Did you know?

2:00 PM on 05.08.2013 Next Korean Movie Night NY series features Sunny (YAY!!!)I love Sunny. I love it so much that I don't feel awkward typing like a preteen girl talking about how fantastic it is.

9:00 AM on 05.07.2013 Teaser Trailer: [REC] 4: ApocalypseI've felt that the [REC] series has been a case of diminishing returns. I really liked the first one, thought the second one was good but had an issue with the break in tension midway through, and, well, then there was a thi...
8:00 PM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Reviews: Whitewash and Big Bad WolvesI like film festivals for a lot of reasons, but one of the best is the way films are forced into context with a number of other, entirely unrelated films. The act of watching multiple films in a day alone creates all sorts of...
5:00 PM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Capsule Review: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?Here's an interesting fact: Taiwan is among the most gay-friendly countries in Asia. Gay marriage is not explicitly legal (a bill attempting to fix that stalled nearly a decade ago), but even as far as 2006, a poll of the pop...
11:00 AM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Capsule Review: NorthwestIn some ways Northwest could be written off as another movie about how crime doesn't pay. There's an escalation of criminal activity, there's the brief taste of a modest sweet life, there's the tragic inflation of egos, and t...
