A compulsively watchable and touching film about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter’s role in an absurd world.

Aughra - Donna Kimball (The Happytime Murders)

The world of The Dark Crystal began with Jim Henson’s groundbreaking 1982 movie, which he co-directed with Frank Oz. Jim Henson had been, until that time, known primarily as the genius behind the Muppets, and this fantasy adventure feature, the first to have an all-puppet cast, marked a turn to more realistic characters and creatures.

From inception to release, The Dark Crystal was seven years in the making and has since gone on to become a cult classic around the world. Visually conceived by Character and Costume Designer Brian Froud, Thra, the setting for this epic story, is teeming with characters brought to life by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, including Gelfling heroes, villainous Skeksis, wise Mystics, and a host of original creatures. Jim Henson’s unique vision was – in his own words - the hardest thing he ever worked on, describing it as “a work of art” and “the one that I’m most proud of.”

The visually stunning movie launched a huge range of publishing and collectible merchandise. Two series of graphic novels and a series of young adult novels combined to expand the Dark Crystal world, introducing origin stories, sequel storylines, and a broad canvas to tell a prequel story of the matriarchal Gelfling culture in a time when the world of Thra was younger and more vibrant. A new generation will soon be able to experience the wonder of this world, when The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance comes to Netflix globally.

The Dark Crystal, a truly classic movie, introduced a rich, vibrant, hand-crafted world, on which The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will only expand, continuing Jim Henson’s innovative and creative legacy. Audiences will once again be thrilled to explore the world of Thra in this epic fantasy that everyone will be talking about.

Interview with Johan Bodell

When filmmaker Johan Bodell looks at his back catalogue, he realizes there’s a bit of a common thread : the element of blood. The Swedish filmmaker talks up his latest spookfest The Cabin.

Would say this is a genre you’d normally gravitate towards, Johan?

I would say no at first, but when I look at what I’ve done previously a lot of the films have its fair amount of blood as well, just like The Cabin. My ambition isn’t to lock me into any genre. I want to be just like Spielberg. One day making a film about the Holocaust, and then an adventure film like Jurrasic Park.
The main reason this became a horror film was the location we decided to build the story around. I have a lot of concepts and ideas for films I would like to make sometime in the future, some of them horror, some of them historical dramas and adventure films.

Have any films or filmmakers from your youth -heck, even now – influenced this one? How so?

The main influence for this film would have to be The Shining. There’s something about the tone in that really hit me. That’s the only reference I gave to both Charles Doan (DP) and Matt Donner (composer). Before we even started to shoot, Matt gave me a minute-long draft of the soundtrack for The Cabin. That was really helpful to get me in the mood before start shooting and remind myself of the overall tone of the film.
Also, Denis Villeneuve is a huge inspiration, there something in the tone of Prisoners and Arrival that I gravitate towards.

When I was around 13-14, the Swedish public television had a thing where they showed classical horror films every Tuesday during the summer. I didn’t miss any of them. Often recorded them on VHS to re-watch it again and again. Halloween and Poltergeist are two films I watched a lot at the time.

We know you have a love of comic book films but growing up, did you have a favorite or go-to scary movie?

My go-to scary movie growing up wasn’t really a movie, but rather the X-files. When I was 8-9 I was allowed to stay up late on Thursdays when it aired in Sweden. I was so scared but watched it every week. That and some Swedish crime shows are some of the scary memories that I can think of.

This movie is a bit of a mixed-genre movie – was that part of the appeal for you?

As I mentioned earlier I don’t want to go to hard into any genre. I believe that even in a horror there’s a layer of drama to make the characters relatable. I think that’s a healthy approach to whatever genre you’re working in. I would like to include elements of horror in a comedy or drama.

CGI or practical effects. Preference?

Practical as long as it’s possible. I think the best effects is where you have physical objects and sets, and use CGI to expand that world. Instead of making it all CGI, which can feel unnatural. We didn’t use that many effects in The Cabin, but where we used it we did it to enhance the reality with some extra blood splatter.

Are any of the characters in the film based on yourself?

I didn’t think so at first, but then Erik (screenwriter) told me that some of the main characters dynamic are based on us. He got some of that inspiration from the trip we first took together to the location in the middle of the winter so he would get an understanding and feeling of the location. I wandered in the snow all exciting while he was a bit more restricted like Rose.

The Cabin is now available on VOD.

Tough Guy : The Bob Probert Story - Poster and Trailer

On July 5, 2010, legendary NHL tough guy Bob Probert collapsed on his boat on Lake St. Clair, near Windsor and died of a heart attack. He was only 45 years old.

Bob was on his third glass of coke and eighth pill of OxyContin that day. He’d routinely take the two together to deal with his aching body. Seventeen years as the NHL’s toughest enforcer had taken its toll. As the undisputed, “heavyweight champ,” he finished his career fifth in all time penalty minutes. He averaged 40 brutal, bare-knuckled hockey fights a year.

Bob’s death wasn’t all that surprising. He lived hard. Chain smoking, alcoholism, snorting cocaine even in a jail cell while under arrest, cavorting with nurses during his many trips to rehab.

 He said people always wanted to know, “Why do you struggle with drugs and alcohol?” He’d shrug off the ques, “I just got a little addicted to the fun.” But Bob’s life was often far from fun. In a rare moment of vulnerability, he wrote a letter to his disease while in rehab in 2003.

 “You have taken away my freedom to make healthy choices. You have taken away my valuable time from my wonderful wife Dani and my four kids. You have taken away my self-respect and dignity. You have turned me into someone I am not.”

The film features Bob Probert, Dani Probert, Joe Kocur, Tie Domi, Don Cherry, Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios, Stu Grimson, Sheldon Kennedy, Troy Crowder,  Steve Yzerman, Tony Twist, Ptr Klima, and Marty McSorely.

Tough Guy is based on the book Day’s real-life mother Kirstie McLellan Day wrote with the late Probert. Bob's wife, Dani is EP.

It's Geordie Day’s second hockey film. He co-directed Goalie, a film on former NHL goaltender Clint Malarchuk. This  year,  he  produced  Charles  Manson:  Final  words,  which  contained  the  last  ever  recorded  interviews  with  Manson.  The  film  aired  on  REELZ.

Tough Guy : The Bob Probert Story airs on Super Channel in Canada December 14th with a U.S release expected next year.

Wheelchair Athletes Push Their Team Towards The Title While Responding To Adversity On And Off The Court

From director Shaina Allen, producer Michael Esposito, and Emmy Award-winning Executive Producers Nick Nanton and JW Dicks comes THE REBOUND – a feel good story about the Miami Heat Wheels and their quest for their first-ever NWBA Championship – to Digital HD November 20th.

Miami is a city known for its sports and diversity. For the Miami Heat Wheels it’s a city of opportunity, second chances, and a call to win against all odds. THE REBOUND is an insider’s look at the struggling wheelchair basketball team following a defeat at the national championships. In community supported wheelchair basketball programs across the nation, players push their way physically, mentally and emotionally through each season without the recognition or the resources of mainstream sports. Among the Heat Wheels, passion and drive are abundant, but the team’s dwindling checkbook threatens to cut short its attempt to take the national title.

Debut filmmakers Shaina Allen and Mike Esposito step deep inside the lives of three players as they endure and respond to adversity and fight their way to a second chance. Friends, family, and pride hang in the balance as these men find an extraordinary gift in the hand life has dealt. They hope for an education, a big break, and a new life. The cameras don’t stop when the players leave the court: the film follows them through the trials of daily life with a disability. With each victory, the players, and their team, get closer to the idea that anything is possible – and it’s all about how you rebound.

THE REBOUND is a production of Evergrain Studios in association with DNA Films.

Once Upon A Deadpool - UK release date & Poster

Twentieth Century Fox has today made available the poster for ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL, starring Ryan Reynolds. ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL arrives in UK cinemas - for one night only - on December 11th.

REVIEW: Solis - Starring Steven Ogg and Alice Lowe

Warning: There may be some spoilers in the review below, nothing too major.

Review: By Jon Donnis
Despite the poster for Solis being nearly identical to the upcoming First Man film. This is a very different film, and in fact I think the Solis poster is much better.

Solis is one of those rare films whereby we only get one living character on screen for the entire film.
Asteroid mining engineer Troy Holloway (played by Steven Ogg, who you may recognise from the GTA game) has woken up on an escape pod, in space, and that pod is on a one way journey to the Sun.

Holloway is alone (except for a dead colleague), and his only help is Commander Roberts who he speaks to through a headset, who is his only hope for rescue.

Hollyway must overcome and survive everything from being frozen to death to being burned alive, not to mention rapid oxygen depletion.

Now this is not some horror film with aliens etc, this is a pure psychological thriller. And in the style of great one person films like Buried or Moon, we have to rely on the excellent performance of Steven Ogg to carry us through.

Where as a similar type of film in Gravity relies on jaw dropping special effects, Solis proves that you don't need 9 figure budgets to make a solid enjoyable film set in space. That's not to say there isn't some great shots here. One that stuck in my mind is as we view the escape pod from behind, surrounded by the darkness of space, only for the camera to pan back and the sun to appear, previously eclipsed by the pod. And then the sheer power and brightness of the sun to overtake the screen.

There is a very decent score too, although perhaps it goes too big too soon, it does add to the film throughout as opposed to taking away anything.

Now I have read a few reviews of the film, and I see a lot of people disappointed with the ending, personally I don't need every little thing explained, written out and showed to me. I like a bit of mystery, a bit of the unknown. But sadly we live in a time whereby film makers often feel the need they have to explain everything and give a complete and full beginning, middle and an end, to satisfy a hungry audience.

Personally I like the intrigue, the unknown, this allows me to ask questions, to talk about things, to examine what I do not know, what I did not see. So the ending I was perfectly fine with.

I thought the film was the perfect length for the kind of film it was. The acting by Ogg was great, and overall I enjoyed the film. It wont be for everyone, and those who only enjoy huge special effects and every little thing laid out for them probably wont enjoy it, but for those of you who have a brain, imagination, and enjoy a good story being told, then give Solis a go, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I give Solis a solid 8/10

Number 37 - Poster and Trailer

Award-winning Hitchockian suspense thriller Number 37, filmed in Cape Town, releases in select theaters throughout November and On Demand November 20 from Dark Star Pictures.

In a gritty homage to perennial Alfred Hitchcock favorite Rear Window, director Nospiho Dumia’s film focuses on the residents of a block of apartments in the down-and-out Cape Flats neighborhood–which, with its petty thugs, crooked cops, violent loan sharks, and troubled pastors, soon reveals itself to be a very different place from Rear Window’s Greenwich Village of 1954.

Irshaad Ally, Monique Rockman, Ephraim Gordon, Sandi Schultz, Danny Ross, David Manuel, Elton Landrew, and Deon Lotz star in a Nosipho Dumisa directed film, scripted by Dumisa, Travis Taute, and Daryne Joshua.

Synopsis: Set in a rough section of Cape Town, Number 37 follows Randal Hendricks, a small-time crook who becomes wheelchair-bound in a drug deal gone wrong, and his hard-working girlfriend Pam Ismael. To distract Randal during his homebound days of limited mobility, Pam gives him a pair of binoculars. While idly surveying his block, he accidentally witnesses a dirty cop being executed by his gangster neighbor Lawyer. With a loan shark breathing down his neck, Randal decides to blackmail Lawyer, and enlists the help of both his girlfriend and his friend Warren. When the plan goes horribly awry, Randal’s options get more and more restricted—and not even local detective Gail February, investigating the death of her partner, may be able to help him.
