    Early Reviews Of Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers Are Positive And Awesome

    Update: Variety just posted another positive review: "[The film is] riveting beyond all rationality, is something like Jackass, except that here the stunts are dangerous only to standards of good taste -- which, of course, is precisely the point. ...perverse beauty. ...Across the board, tech credits are appalling -- in a good way." One movie we're surprised and…

    The September Issue Movie Trailer

    Editor's Note: This trailer was released a couple weeks ago, but we never got around to covering it. Now that we have the time, here it is. Amidst the on-going events of New York Fashion Week, the well-received Anna Wintour/VOGUE documentary, The September Issue, opened in limited release in select cities on Sept. 11th. Appropriately…

    New Images: Where The Wild Things Are

    More images that bottle a sense of "child-like wonder" and "child-like terror" have washed up on the 'nets courtesy of the New York Times. They nicely compliment a post yesterday on Sonny Gerasimowicz, the unlikely art director on Where the Wild Things Are. Grab a child-like blanket and prepare to curl up in the fetal position…

    The Unlikely Art Director Behind Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are

    As viewers and the media gear up for next month's release of Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, we expect to read more articles and essays waxing on the film's relevance and meaning in pop culture. To me, the project already represents the ideal and inevitable amalgamation of two of the more important, influential,…

    Featurette On Todd Solondz's Life During Wartime Starring Paul Reubens

    Update: Buzz continues to build as the film just won Best Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival. I like how Todd Solondz talks. In the below featurette---ideal for a Saturday afternoon in both length and Puerto Rico palm casualness---the writer/director of Welcome to the Dollhouse discusses his new film, Life During Wartime. Yep, titled after…

    Takers Movie Trailer (Like Heat With Paul Walker, Chris Brown, And T.I.)

    This is what happens when the Ed Hardies of the world demand a contemporary, made-for-BET version of Heat that stars lawless idiots like Chris Brown, T.I., and...Hayden Christensen thugged out in a $300 fedora and bowtie. Elegantly entitled to the chagrin of Bryan Mills, Takers, the film opens early next year. To add further insult…

    Trick 'R Treat HD Movie Trailer

    It still blows my mind that Mike Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat is not being given a major theatrical release this October. Instead the flick, possibly the most praised horror movie of the last decade, will hit DVD on October 6th, with a few limited engagements likely placed in the bags of lucky cities. A new…

    The Mike Judge Interview: Part 2: Gene Simmons And Ben Affleck In Extract, Corporate Product Hilarity In Idiocracy, And The Kamikaze Futures Of Beavis & Butt-Head

    For part one of /Film's exclusive interview with writer/director Mike Judge for his new film Extract, click here. In the second part of my interview with Mike Judge, he shares a couple of candid, behind-the-scenes tales about dealing directly with the global corporations that he skewers in his live-action films. No other work captures both…

    The Shrine Teaser Trailer

    When I first saw the poster for The Shrine, a new serious-toned feature about the occult, it quickly earned a mental note. The poster's ominous imagery (as seen bel0w) perfectly tapped the exploration of a foreign-born religio-horror without giving anything away. And though I later discovered that the film is set in a fictional village…

    David Gordon Green's Suspiria Remake Begins Shooting 2010

    Tacked to the end of an unrelated story in the trades is first word that David Gordon Green's remake of Suspiria will begin shooting next year. This consciousness-altering bit of movie news was discovered by The Playlist. Curtsy. Green, who has managed to maintain his indie cred (Snow Angels) and establish box office pull and…

    The Mike Judge Interview: Part 1: Extract As Semi-Autobiographical, The Film's Epic Bong Scene, The Origination Of His Ball Humor, And Issues With Realism In Modern Movies

    Renowned American writer/animator/director Mike Judge and hype often seem like complete strangers. As noted in the press, Judge's friendly, calm demeanor is devoid of Hollywood pretension; his preference for living and working in Austin, Texas posits him by choice away from the center of the pop-cult radar. But when one surveys his vast body of work…

    Halloween 3D Slated For Summer 2010 Without Rob Zombie

    Over the weekend, the conclusion to Rob Zombie's fresh take on the franchise, Halloween II, grossed $17 million. Budgeted at $15 million, the sequel would likely have grossed much more if not for direct competition with the weekend's top movie and debut, The Final Destination 3D (a very healthy $28m). Today, the rebounding Weinstein Company…

    First Look: Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers

    Earlier this month, we noted in surprise, as did a number of peers on the web, the sudden announcement of a new film from Harmony Korine, the semi-reclusive director of Mister Lonely. Aforementioned surprise arose because the project, entitled Trash Humpers, was already completed, said to be a 78-min feature, and set to premiere at next…

    Halloween II Set Visit Report. Update: Post-Screening Verdict

    Post-Screening Update: In short, my verdict on Halloween 2 is that it's superior to Rob Zombie's first effort and a far more entertaining film. Zombie definitely listened to criticism that the first film wasn't holiday-oriented. In this one, he stages a trippy Last Supper with Jack-o-Lanterns. And moreover, it works for chrissakes. The critics labeling the…

    Died Young, Stayed Pretty Movie Trailer

    Currently on a winding tour of the nation's universities, Died Young, Stayed Pretty is a doc about the faceless artists and personalities responsible for the modern day rock poster and maintaining its relevance as a populist artform. The trailer below ebbs in and around a central theme of the film: this is a subculture that…

    Cool Stuff Reviewed: Troll 2 T-Shirt And A Sleestak Stash Bank

    So classic that it will probably land an endangered video store employee on the cover of Purple magazine, the official Troll 2 shirt from Austin's Mondo Tees more than earns its price in sunglass-dips from geek broads. Ahem, unlike a certain pair of Mooninite pants. Many of our readers know that /Film and the /Filmcast's…
