philip ridley’s supernatural thriller , heartless ( 2009 ) , turned into a melodrama of otherworldly proportions . we watch horror films to be horrified . heartless ( 2009 ) could have been a great horror film if the proper director had a hold of it . so many of the more interesting concepts of the film were wasted . the opposite effect was achieved . at the end , i was left with a tear in my eye , wondering why i ever decided to watch heartless in the first place .

[ zack ] snyder ' s watchmen is mechanical , heartless and , tragically , hollow .

heartless ( 2009 ) turned into an extremely , slow - paced horror that failed to maintain the same excitement as it does in the promotional efforts for the film . it turned into an ever - twisting drama–that had absolutely nothing to do with connecting the film’s plot–his brother being a thief or junkie on the run from some anonymous person , who enters the film just as confusingly as he exits . there is a little romance thrown in there—and jamie finally lands his first big kiss—at 25 .

when critics were finally able to review halloween ii on opening day , the film was met with unamimously negative reviews from every film critic who matters a fuck .

there are other bits in the film mildly worthy of mentioning ; stellar performances by sturgess and mawle , the cinematography and brief cgi in the film fantastically created a dank and hellish atmosphere . the overall concept for the film was extremely creative . nevertheless , no thorough execution is this film’s downfall . it wound up only succeeding as a great concept for a horror genre film . i feel a hollywood remake underway .

peter landesman’s film is a kind of hagiography , and it leans toward whitewashing its subject’s legacy .

‘s first new film in 14 years , it actually arrives as a very slight disappointment . whenever

zombie and the weinsteins refused to let the film undergo massive reshoots when the test screenings failed , and it was released in theaters august 28 , 2009 . it was a fan - repelling bomb - - critics hated it , audiences hated it , fans hated it , and the film made no money at the box office . it was savaged by the final destination in 3 - d . halloween ii bankrupted the weinsteins .

outspoken , opinionated and never lost for words , mark is the uk ' s leading film critic .

this film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what’s now showing

sloppily written , amateurishly directed and littered with unconvincing performances . there are many ideas and themes in the film which could have worked if handled better , but unfortunately the film goes for the cliched option every time , and what should be an emotionally interesting ride descends into cloying sentimentality . a very disappointing film .

this film has a dark side to it which i just think is amazing . i got to say when i started to watch it i thought it looked boring but i was so wrong . heartless is scary , upseting , wierd and definaly strange but it is very good . i dont like horror or thriller films that much but i got to say this is a good film .

i have not seen passion of darkly noon , bu it hear it is a fine film as well .

zack snyder ' s film version of watchmen is a grim and grisly excursion into comic - book mythology .

“ [ chase wright vanek is ] a pallid replacement for the previous film ' s daeg faerch . ”

the opinion of the public and the opinion of film critics are not always in line . critics look analytically at the elements that construct a film , while audiences view through the lens of entertainment , primarily judging a film on whether or not they enjoyed it . sometimes , a film that does all the wrong things in terms of composition manages to become an audience favorite . the boondock saints ( 1999 ) is one such picture .

the boondock saints also has appeal simply because of its status in cinema culture . people are interested in seeing what the fuss is all about . clearly , the film is surviving the test of time as troy duffy wrote and directed its sequel in 2009 ( to largely the same critical response ) , indicating an ongoing market for the macmanus brothers a decade later .

on june 22 , 2009 , a brand new trailer was released showing different scenes . this trailer was highly massacred by film critics as varied as roger ebert , richard roeper , gene shalit , longtime halloween fan howard stern , ben lyons , ben mankiewicz , peter travers , hugh hefner , stan lee , gene simmons , and bobcat goldthwait . to add fuel to the ever - growing fire , critics and fans alike were quick to point out their disappointment in the heartless absense of daeg faerch , but rather , his scenes were replaced with those of chase wright vanek , causing an enormous downgrade from the previous teaser trailer .

on the mountain , the third album under the heartless bastards moniker , wennerstrom ' s throaty vocals are as dominant as ever , backed by powerful rock riffs and quieter acoustic flourishes . it ' s a subtle departure from the band ' s brighter , bluesy sophomore album , all this time ; in fact , it also chronicles wennerstrom ' s breakup with her boyfriend of 11 years , a former bassist in the heartless bastards .

i cant make it to the frightfest this year but i am deadly excited about that film , especially as your sources seem to shed great light upon this forthcoming film too , so now your great anticipation has spread . . . thanks ( ? )

i ' ve never heard of philip ridely before so i looked him up on imdb ( as i usually do when mark mentions a film or filmmaker i ' ve not heard of ) and i ' m pleased to see his two films ( other than heartless ) star viggo mortensen . is that another reason mark likes the director so much ?

i really enjoyed this film , very sad and great acting throughout . did not get some of it but enjoyed most of it .

the film debuted at no . 3 , with an estimated $ 0 . 00 at the box office . it was behind final destination 4 3 - d ( no . 1 ) and second - week champ inglorious basterds ( no . 2 ) . the film continued to make no money until it left theaters early , after only three weeks . everybody was disappointed by every aspect of the film .

heartless is a movie starring jim sturgess , luke treadaway , and clémence poésy . jamie morgan , a young man with a large heart - shaped birthmark on his face , discovers that there are demons on the streets of east london .

saw heartless at ff last night - alan jones described it as his very favourite film of the year , and though i wouldn ' t go as far as he does , i did find it a very absorbing watch , and it was great to see such a distinctive , imaginative and unapologetically british horror film get financed and produced . it ' s by no means flawless , but has some great ideas , visual flourish , a dash ( not too much ) of social commentary , and a real sense of film - making craft . look out for a truly fantastic cameo from eddie marsan , too . more of this , and less of lesbian vampire killers please ! ps descent 2 was thoroughly enjoyable too , imo the 2nd best film of the festival after the superb trick r treat

filming officially began february 20 , 2009 in georgia . zombie suddenly became dissatisfied with his vision . " i was tired of making good movies like house of 1000 corpses , the devil ' s rejects , and halloween . so i decided i would make a movie that sucks the sweat off a dead man ' s balls . "

zombie wasn ' t satisfied with the clean look of super 35mm film and the 2 . 35 : 1 aspect ratio , so he used an ultra - grainy 16mm film that he dubbed " sub 16 " rather than super 16 , and filmed in the 1 . 85 : 1 ratio .

the a . v . club agrees , writing , “less a proper action - thriller than a series of gratuitously violent setpieces strung together with only the sketchiest semblance of a plot , the boondock saints is clearly designed to appeal to heartless armchair sadists . ”

the film is also filled with many visually provocative moments as well as an impressive soundtrack of original songs by ridley and longtime musical collaborator nick bicat .

don ' t believe the idiot who wrote this review . the film is great . . . the locations and the cinematography alone makes it worth watching

on the subject of horror i would like to know your opinion on the recently banned film grotesque that payed homage to the guinea pig film series ( or the first couple in particular ) , and the also recent downgrading of friday the 13th to a 15 certificate ( the 1980 version obviously ) .

just watched darkly noon after seeing this , wow that was great , normally not a fan of brendan fraser but he really worked in this i didnt find him distracting like i would . well how was heartless then , we need a review now after this .

until its sequel a decade later , the boondock saints existed as the only film from director and screenwriter troy duffy . a bartender in los angeles , duffy wrote the film’s screenplay during his break periods . he said he saw a drug dealer steal money from a dead woman ' s body and grew increasingly upset by the constant stream of violence and terror in the world . he wrote the film as a way of acting out a form of vigilante justice on the people who make life uglier . after successfully selling the film to miramax , the inexperienced 28 year - old duffy was also given the director’s chair . additionally , his band was to provide the film’s soundtrack , and miramax even offered to buy the bar where duffy worked and make him co - owner .

" the ballad of narayama " is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…

nathan rabin of the a . v . club gave the film a " b– " , crediting its second - half moral tale and the brief appearances by marsan and spall but felt it was hampered by the first half with its " plodding pace , portentous tone , and underdeveloped characters " , concluding that , " ridley is a master of atmosphere and mood , but his fantastical conceits require a strong protagonist who isn’t defined first by his birthmark , then by its absence . " ben rawson - jones of digital spy felt the film wasted its main cast with a promising plot that was half - heartedly executed with failed horror elements and dialogue that telegraphs the story , saying that , " the form and content are a perfect match in heartless . both are desperately terrible . " he gave the film 1 star out of 5 . nick schager of slant magazine criticized ridley for crafting a faustian film with an empty - headed protagonist , telegraphed plot elements , mixed moral themes and a muddled third act , giving the film 1 star out of 4 .

as well as being the lead actor , jim sturges also sang two of the songs in the film’s soundtrack . when talking about the film’s music ridley explained that “ [ jim sturgess ] heard some of the songs and loved them . he wondered if , perhaps , it would be right for him to sing a couple . to be honest , jim and i had discussed this possibility much earlier ( jim’s talents are boundless . as well as being one of the greatest actors around , he is also a great singer…not to mention song writer , poet – the list goes on ! ) . initially , we had both agreed it probably wouldn’t be right . but as the film progressed , and the exploration of jamie’s mind in the film become ever more obsessive…well , it just seemed to make total sense for jim to perform the two songs most pertinent to jamie’s state of mind : the theme music , heartless , and another me . ”

“in a word , ugly . it just pips halloween : the curse of michael myers ( aka halloween 6 ) to the title of worst halloween film ever . ”

on march 3 , 2009 , daeg sadly was fired from reprising the role of young michael myers . the " reason " given as " increased height " and " puberty concerns , " which could easily have been cheated in post - production . " it hurt him more than it hurt me , " zombie has said . " i did everything i could to make the film suck . and since i’m too opinionated and incompetent to use special effects and / or clever cinematography to make daeg seem younger and shorter , and since i want the film to suck so badly , i thought the easiest way to make it suck is to replace daeg with a cunt who can ' t act to save his fucking life . "

ah , bummer that this new philip ridley film isn \ ' t very good . i had high hopes for it , now i will hesitate to check it out .

“it amazes me how this film was snubbed not only by the oscars - - which is fully understandable , but also by the razzies ! i was expecting a few . ”

heartless is like a sprawling , literary fantasy novel condensed into two hours . the amount of creativity and ideas on display is astonishing . plot points , motifs and dialogue foreshadow and repeat themselves . character development is critical . and there are some perfectly constructed subplots and moments which seem like digressions , but when viewed retrospectively manage to fit in perfectly with the journey of the film ' s central character . it is written and directed by a highly acclaimed novelist and playwright , after all .

bill moseley , who was to portray new character uncle seymour coffins cited " scheduling conflicts " as the reason he dropped out of the film . however , zombie suspects something else .

sixty - eight percent of the film had to be reshot in order to crush fans’ wants , needs , and demands . ironically , zombie remains unimpressed by the theatrical cut . " i hate the final cut , " he says . " when you went to see this film , you should have been prepared for disappointment , especially if you’re a daeg fan . "

halloween ii ( formerly known as h2 , halloween : the devil walks among us , halloween ii : where the fuck is daeg ? , and halloween : crucifixtion ( of rob zombie ) ) is rob zombie ’s 2009 abortion of the halloween franchise . it is not a remake of the halloween ii that came out in 1981 . unlike the previous film , h2 was intended to suck . this change in direction popped in the writer - director ’s head when he unfortunately , incorrectly , and egotistically decided that daeg faerch was " waaay too old " for the role of young michael myers and that his scenes wouldn’t work .

when aidy isn ' t writing poetry , she likes to write film reviews . if she is curious about something she seen or heard , she ' d maybe write about that , too .

although steve miner ( friday the 13th part 3d , halloween h20 : twenty years later ) was the rumored director , it was announced that todd farmer would write , with patrick lussier directing . conflicting news reports followed , including one stating that the weinsteins were looking for pitches for the film . farmer gave a long and detailed account of the events leading to the cancellation of the film .

wennerstrom now leads a new live band , which includes bassist jesse ebaugh and drummer dave colvin , who played on the group ' s original demo tapes . it will be the first time the heartless bastards ' members have played sxsw as something of a local act — wennerstrom has since relocated permanently from dayton , ohio , to austin .

i ' d hardly call the frightfest forum ' s reaction to the film typical of the response to the film - the audience was pretty much evenly split into love - it - or - hate - it camps , which is pretty common with all of ridley ' s stuff . i think you ' ll like it mark , but it is very different from reflecting skin and darkly noon .

if only they knew she had the power : de van’s somber telekinetic exercise lacks verve previously a scribe and actress for francois ozon in some of his early works , marina de van has become a notable director in her own right , mostly due to a phenomenal debut with 2002’s in my skin , in which she stars as a woman obsessed with cutting off parts of herself…and eating it . while she consistently delves into matters of the grotesque , she hasn’t quite matched the intensity of her first feature , though odd and offbeat often describe her works , such as the schizoid 2009 bellucci / marceau headliner don’t look back . her latest film , dark touch , set in ireland and filmed in english , has her signature ambiguous menace in an otherwise straightforward genre effort focused on an abused preadolescent female with telekinetic powers . unfortunately , the film will have you recall carrie more

“best appreciated for its sustained creepy vibe and sporadically arresting images , ‘heartless’ moves from one outré moment to another , from one self - conscious allusion to the next ( ‘donnie darko’ and ‘taxi driver’ ) . it doesn’t go anywhere special or much of anywhere , though it goes there in appreciably icky style . ”–manhola dargis , the new york times ( contemporaneous )

hey , dr k , thanks for the recommendation of darkly noon , just watched it and enjoyed it . i ' ll try to track down philip ridley ' s other films . now i ' m excited about heartless - anyone got any information on when i might get to be able to see it ( being as i ' ve missed ff ) ?

on april 24 , 2009 , yahoo ! movies premiered the official teaser trailer for h2 . despite all of the plot elements and new characters that were introduced in this trailer , nothing from it received any more recognition than that of the appearance of daeg faerch as young michael , despite the fact that he had been recast due to the clash his height and puberty had on rob zombie’s inflated ego . as usual , daeg received unanimously rave reviews while chase wright vanek was largely ignored .

after a 15 - year sabbatical from feature filmmaking , brit helmer philip ridley ( “the reflecting skin” ) returns with “heartless , ” a stylish low - key scarer about a facially deformed young londoner’s fateful interaction with supernatural beings in his east end neighborhood . there’s more mood than matter here , but suspenseful atmospherics effectively distract from minor plot holes . backed by a [ … ]

philip ridley , probably most famous for writing the krays starring spandau ballet brothers martin and gary kemp , is also the writer / director of one of my favourite cinematic experiences of recent years , the passion of darkly noon , and now he has made a horror movie , heartless . and i haven ' t seen it . and , frankly , i ' m terrified .

on december 25 , 2009 , the penniless weinsteins enlisted the help of sony to help them release halloween ii on dvd and blu - ray . they said , " are you fucking kidding me , harv ? release this steaming pile of cow manure to blockbuster and netflix and expect a profit ? and put us out or work , too ? and how the hell did you afford that fancy suit ? goodwill ? " the negotiations continued until sony agreed to release it - - on january 12 , 2010 .

after test screening halloween ii in new york city and los angeles , the film scored worse than the test screenings for halloween : the curse of michael myers . despite this , rob zombie felt that the film didn ' t suck enough . so he and the weinteins went out of their way to make some dramatic changes , none of which involved bringing daeg back and attempting to make a half - decent film . zombie decided to further explore the angle of michael myers being a trashy hobo sith with a deteriorating mask . after too many puffs of a mexican joint , he decided to add some psycho - babble about a white horse in order to give deborah and young michael an unneeded purpose . he also decided to let the adult michael myers talk . . . something long forbidden in the franchise . none of these elements impressed fans , who begged for zombie to put some effort into the film .

i kept on watching this for clémence poésy . . . turned out that it was so unnecessary , just a bad - written , superficial , empty / idiotic role . what a meaningless film with such good actors . big dislike .

i always try to set my expectations at neutral before i see any film , but there are some film - makers that ( annoyingly ) make me anticipate more . paul t . anderson , david lynch , martin scorsese , gaspar noe , and , of course , jim cameron . avatar trailer looks good to me , but i ' m sure the hype and anticipation felt by many who have had blue balls for near 11 years now may end up being * crushed * .

the film featured a number of original songs for which ridley himself had written the lyrics . the music for these songs were composed by ridley’s long - time collaborator nick bicât who had previously written music for productions of ridley’s stage plays and films . on nick bicât’s website it states that the songs had been written to act “like a greek chorus , commenting on the action . every song in the film - whether heard on the radio , in a club , or used as part of the score” .

in heartless ' s hellish version of east london , you have to be afraid of everything . the man in the corner shop can sell you a gun , if you ask nicely , the hoodies down the road morph into mutated lizards with a penchant for arson and the city looks like something for blade runner - where there are shades of sinister , beautiful decay . this is equal parts a paranoid mood piece and fantasy horror .

needed to be more trim and lean to work effectively as a thriller , but then again , the digressions and ( indulgent ? ) flourishes are what have stayed with me . although ridley ' s ostensibly an urban writer , he seemed far more confident with the open rural spaces of ' the reflecting skin ' than the tenement buildings and concrete underpasses of ' heartless ' . for me his strongest recent works have been his monologues .

the second test screening got even more out of control . the number of daeg fans rose to a total of 6 trillion . they managed to bound and gag security , break into the projection room , and replace the reel with halloween iii : season of the witch . rob zombie was none too impressed , and he stormed into the projection room like a pretentious prima donna , beat up the daeg fans within inches of their lives , and replaced the reel with the much - maligned h2 . once the film finally started , everybody in the audience booed and pelted trash at the screen and everybody responsible for the film . the only halloween ii cast or crew member not booed , pelted , or insulted was weird al yankovic , who actually participated in the sabotage . after the film ended , a q & a was held . comments ranged from " the ending sucked , " " the whole film sucked , " and " where ' s deag ? " one person was brave enough to tell the cast and crew :

way back in the 1930s , a us church group released a film called tell your children , depicting the corrosive , devastating effects of marijuana on the nation ' s young . tell your children was a cry from the heart , a clarion call . how tragic , then , that this movie was later recut and retitled for the exploitation circuit . in its new guise , the film now known as reefer madness would become a favourite of the very bong - smoking , trash - talking delinquents it meant to condemn .

the film starts well enough but heavily dissolves as it progresses . den of greek writes , “it ' s interesting to see smecker pick apart what connor and murphy have been up to . but as the violence intensifies in the last 50 minutes , the story disintegrates into a narrative sludge , with even the precise , calculating smecker devolving into a perspiring , desperate maniac . ” the film spends more time trying to come up with clever ways for the boys to kill people instead of justifying why its victims deserve death .

never quite lives up to the standards set by it ' s lofty faustian ambition despite it ' s relatively unique blend of horror + fantasy set amongst a neon - lit london similarly seen in cornish ' s attack the block . but it ' s ridley ' s invention and determination to not simply conform to type that proves his downfall ; heartless delivers neither a philosophical message of any weight , a meaningful father / son sub - plot nor the . .

some people call it a cruel , heartless and essentially exploitative opus . something to gibber at , in fact . but alien is not in the business of old - style family entertainment ( which was , after all , often as warm and gooey as hot treacle , and about as nourishing ) . it bases its appeal on a different set of values . not very enlightening ones , no doubt . but exactly in tune with much more cynical times . it deserves its success for gauging , and gorging , its audience so thoroughly . technically a british film , it certainly shows how much talent we have in this country if only we had the courage to develop it ourselves . but that ' s another story , and a much less exciting one .

what makes it so watchable to audiences ? for the most part , those very same qualities , as evidenced by stereogum ' s quote above where they refer to the film as " widely recognized as a ridiculous parody of itself . " the film’s commitment to its own obnoxiousness has given it definitive “so bad it’s good” classification among audiences . it is an irreverent fast food movie - - nobody watches boondock saints to experience a master class on cinematic perfection , and you won ' t find any aspect of duffy ' s direction taught in academic film study . it is hilariously over - the - top in every single element of its construction : plot , characters , action , dialogue , cinematography - - you name it , boondock has it in spades of silliness . it is style over substance , and sometimes that ' s what people want .

i went and saw the final destination , i normally go to cineworld and have a unlimited card which in theory grants free access to any film in general release but i had to pay £1 . 50 for the cinema to afford the screen , which i was just offended by .

we see them meeting , and it feels absolutely real : you wonder which of these two diffident and soft - spoken people summoned the energy to speak first . but wait . in real life , before shooting on this film began , charlyne yi and michael cera were already girlfriend and boyfriend , and were celebrated by such gossip sites as gawker as " america ' s twee - hearts . " therefore their courtship in the film is scripted , although it feels uncannily real , perhaps because cera and yi have such enveloping personas that little they do is quite acting .

the new incarnation of the heartless bastards kicks off npr music ' s nighttime south by southwest showcase , as the band performs material from its new record , the mountain . listeners can hear the whole evening concert broadcast live from stubb ' s bar - b - q in austin , texas , and archived online afterward , starting at 11 p . m . et on wed . , march 18 . ( also on the bill will be the avett brothers and headliner the decemberists . )

other assaults soon followed leading up to the release , and the weinsteins felt pressured to bring faerch back . they tried forcing rob to bring the young actor back , but he was adamant . " i want this film to suck ! can ' t you get that through your thick head ? " the weinsteins off and on threatened to fire rob , and dammit , they should have , if only because of this daeg recast . meanwhile , harvey weinstein kept telling fans , " we ' re looking into it . whatever rob had that made halloween such a great film , he ain ' t got it no more . [ sic ] he seriously needs to get his ass back on track and bring back what made the first film such a success - - daeg faerch . we , the weinstein company , will not support this film until this error is corrected ; either way , we ' re still contractually obligated to release this horseshit , so we can ' t just burn the reel . i wish we would have canceled the movie after daeg was recast ; maybe that would have taught that pretentious bastard zombie a fucking lesson . asshole . . . "

the heartless bastards ' success rests largely on the talents of lead vocalist , guitarist and songwriter erika wennerstrom , who ' s long been a standout purveyor of raw garage rock . her husky , powerhouse delivery defines the sound of the group , though lately , her ambition has also made for a poignant storyline . wennerstrom recently secluded herself in a small austin , texas , apartment for six months in order to write new songs , reemerging with a new band lineup and , eventually , a new album .

these matters give " paper heart " an intriguing quality on top of its intrinsic appeal . and the onscreen presence of " nick , " as the director , is uncannily well - acted by johnson , embodying a hungry young l . a . filmmaker who thinks all human considerations are secondary to his film . there are moments when he insists on violating the privacy of charlyne and michael with his camera , and these scenes are so well - acted and handled that , in retrospect , you realize this is a very well - made film indeed . there ' s more than meets the eye .

after premiering in the directors’ fortnight sidebar at the 2014 cannes film festival , belgian auteur fabrice du welz ’s excellent fourth feature alleluia went on to play in the esteemed vanguard lineup in the toronto international film festival before nabbing best actor and actress awards at fantastic fest for superb performances from laurent lucas and lola duenas . although this didn’t translate into notable box office profit for us distributor music box films ( released in mid - july for a limited theatrical run , the title didn’t crack ten grand in its paltry five week run ) , du welz’s beautiful cult - classic in the making will eventually secure a greater following . a recent blu - ray re - release of criterion collection’s presentation of the 1969 leonard kastle film , the honeymoon killers , based on the same romantic killing spree , should funnel some attention to it , as well as du welz’s break into english language in 2016 with his next title .

johnny kevorkian , the 33 - year - old director of last year ' s the disappeared , an atmospheric supernatural thriller about a young boy who vanishes on an estate populated by prowling hoodies , agrees . " although it ' s a ghost story , much of the fear in the disappeared is real , " says kevorkian . " these threatening nasty gangs run these estates . the film is exploiting the fact that things like gangs killing little kids really happens . so of course , in the film , you wonder if these guys are the cause of the boy going missing , and that is really scary . "

we live in a golden age for cinematic beasties . vampires and zombies have been so ubiquitous in pop culture lately that they threaten to outnumber the living . demons haven’t fared as well , though a handful of souls are willing to give the devil his due . first , guillermo del toro brought hellboy to the big screen . now , after a long hiatus , novelist and filmmaker philip ridley ( the reflecting skin ) returns to directing with heartless , a moody , portentous tale of demons running amok on the streets of london .

get ready for 10 truly terrifying nights when washington , d . c . ’s spooky movie international horror film festival haunts the afi silver theatre on oct 10 - 19 for the fest’s 8th annual edition . things really jolt alive on the 10th with the opening night film willow creek , a surprising genre entry by comedian - turned - director bobcat goldthwait , who tells the tale about a couple of amateur bigfoot hunters who get in way over their heads in the woods . goldthwait will be on hand for a post - screening q & a moderated by film comment‘s laura kern . also playing on this opening night are a program of scary short films and the feature an american terror , a post - columbine fright flick by haylar garcia . as for the other nine nights , sticking true to the “international” in the fest’s name are movies such as the ireland / france / sweden co - production dark touch by marina de van about

although it ' s called " heartless " ( for several key reasons including an especially gruesome one ) , this compelling psychological horror - thriller contains a tremendous amount of heart . that would be largely thanks to a moving and deeply sensitive lead performance by jim sturgess ( " across the universe , " " 21 " ) as jamie , a shy east londoner disfigured by wine - colored birthmarks and haunted by the decade - old death of his beloved father ( timothy spall ) , who lands on a nightmarish collision course with demonic forces .

these days , perhaps , there is no director who represents the genre so well as larry clark , a sixtysomething film - maker gone native in a perilous world of renegade skaters and oversexed adolescents . clark , if nothing else , seems passionately , intensely interested in his subject matter – and maybe that ' s the problem .

this is strange consider it is a movie whose directorial style is very much inspired by people such as david lynch and terry gilliam . these are directors famous for their long , digression - fuelled films . an extra 20 minutes onto the film , in order to flesh out some of the strands , would not have gone amiss .

since the film now begins at the end then jumps to the middle before it actually starts , a detailed voiceover narration from sam loomis is now included , in the hopes of eliminating audience confusion . unfortunately , due to an oversight , most of the vo has nothing to do with what ' s actually occurring on - screen .

another incident occured at the premiere of the film at grauman ' s chinese theater in los angeles . a very clever daeg fan snuck into the projection room and replaced the reel with the original halloween ii from 1981 , directed by rick rosenthal . at this point , zombie was very pissed off about the backlash . when introducing the film , he said , " i made this film so that it could suck . i know you all hate it , and i want you to , but please stop rubbing it in my fucking face . thank you . " the boos turned into cheers the minute jamie lee curtis , brian andrews , and kyle richards appeared on screen . the appearance of donald pleasence received a standing ovation , causing current dr . loomis malcolm mcdowell to put a paper bag over his head for the rest of the day . critics were unable to officially review zombie ' s h2 at the premiere due to the fact that the reel could never be found after it was replaced .

the flesh - eating movie that had them requiring ambulance intervention in toronto never lets up . it’s also a complex drama of adulthood , sex , conformity , hazing , body image and lust julia ducournau is a 33 - year - old first - time feature director who makes her worryingly brilliant debut with this saturnalia of arthouse horror . at the toronto film festival , it had audiences dry - heaving and indeed wet - heaving in the aisles and the cinema lavatories . this is the sort of film which pundits are often keen to label “black comedy” as a way of re - establishing their own sang - froid . in the same tongue - in - cheek spirit , it has been called coming - of - age drama . there is a grain of truth in both of these labels . it is a film about cannibalism , and has clearly been influenced by jorge michel grau ’s we are what we are , john fawcett ’s ginger snaps , and perhaps especially marina de van ’s body shocker in my

i thought the same about district 9 mark . i was sure this could never live up to the hype of the trailers and the trail of glowing reviews it left behind . it was . . . better than i could have hoped . it ' s the best thing i ' ve seen all year , or maybe any year . i need to see it again . as you ' re a fellow man of your word i hope heartless is as good as you hope . i ' ll have to check ridley out now . thanks man . keep it up . re

the director philip ridley scares up a sinister - spooky atmosphere straightaway in “heartless , ” a horror movie that’s art - house aspirational and involves violence , madness , faith and the evil that men , demons or just filmmakers do . set in a contemporary east london churning with dark shadows and inexplicable savagery , this digitally shot , visually murky movie is a muddle of tones ranging from the grotesque to the queasily comic to the absurd . among the horrors paraded across the screen is a gang of toughs in hoodies who set innocents afire for no real reason other than that it suits the director’s overwrought imagination .

sheridan sweats , pants , and emotes with abandon , but heartless is as witless as its protagonist , whose willingness to make a pact with satan is so knuckleheaded that his subsequent torment feels deserved . somewhere in this supernatural morass of loud noises and faux - scary sights seems to lurk a message about accepting yourself . any coherent thoughts , however , are eventually drowned out by the cast’s overdoing - it , narrative somersaults involving jamie’s neighbor ( noel clarke ) and model girlfriend ( clémence poésy ) , and seriously subpar cg , be it for bursts of hellfire or unholy monsters with third - rate dinosaur faces .

i knew that philip ridley had written the krays , but not that he directed a film . as a huge fan of his dark children books when i read them in primary school and still reading now , i will definately 100 % try and see the passion of darkly noon , hoping its like the books i read but just turned up to 11 .

but wait . although nicholas jasenovec appears in the film , that ' s not the real nicholas jasenovec . it ' s an actor , jake m . johnson , who is taller and darker , and in my opinion , more handsome than the real jasenovec . photographs reveal the real jasenovec is shorter , cute , likes sweat clothes , wears horn - rimmed glasses .

written and directed by philip ridley ; director of photography , matt gray ; edited by chris gill and paul knight ; music by david julyan , songs by nick bicat ; production design by ricky eyres ; costumes by jo thompson ; produced by richard raymond and pippa cross ; released by ifc films . running time : 1 hour 49 minutes . this film is not rated .


engineer is a shelved tamil language film directed by gandhi krishna and written by sujatha originally slated to be released in 1999 .

the film was based on the true story of the sardar sarovar dam project and was being made in tamil with planned versions in telugu and hindi too .

the film had featured arvind swamy and madhuri dixit in the leading roles , with music composed by a.r. rahman and cinematography by jeeva .

however , the film was shelved after 80 percent of shooting was completed .

despite reports in 2004 with a new look with a different cast and producer , this has proved to be untrue .

i think the engineer decapitated david to confirm quickly that david was not a human . the engineer suspected this because david was clearly the only member of his group who could speak with the engineer . evidence includes the soft touch the engineer originally gives david - - basically the engineer was thinking " there ' s something unusual about this one .

if engineer was scared of david why did he give david a soft touch on the head before decapitating him ? he didn ' t seem to act with a sense of urgency . . . hence my answer .

david watches all this chaos . it ' s clear during the film that david becomes intrigued and amazed by the engineers . he is also fascinated by the idea that a thing can meet its maker . so we are not sure what david ' s mindset is when he first speaks to the engineer . we know that david is capable of murder because he has no feelings for humans .

there ' s a difference between the engineer at the beginning of the movie and the violent engineer at the end , being one is muscular the latter seems to be either in a suit or biologically altered . the reason for this is unanswered but the engineer at the end seems to act more militantly , he can even fly the ship and plots a course for earth . i assume he does know who the humans are , it ' s his business and his job to drop all those vials of black gunk in his pay load . however , i also get david is ' playing ' with the scientists as he displays psychotic mannerisms , like he has his own agenda , so i wouldn ' t rule out that he whispers something malevolent , just to see what happens . is the engineer at the end part xeno ? perhaps . . . however , as a movie character it just would not make sense if he gave them all a big hug , said ' well done , you ' ve made it ' then flew off to destroy earth .

first and foremost it has to be recognised that the design and execution of the sound sequences in this film are outstanding . it ' s almost worth ninety minutes of your time just to listen to this film , the sound design is so good . it ' s also pretty satisfying if you have a fetish for old sound equipment – all those reel - to - reel tape decks and retro - futuristic signal generators and so on . from that point of view and from the sound perspective this film was absolutely up my street . toby jones as the lead could not be faulted and i would happily watch anything with him in it . so what was wrong with it ? well it was sub - lynchian without ever coming near to the pleasures and terrors of an actual david lynch film . you can almost hear the director straining to hit the tone of a lynch film and falling badly short every time . the script was at times very amusing but mostly it was just plain trivial or superficial . the story was incomprehensible , again not in a lynch fashion where the very incomprehensibility adds to the mystery but in the fashion of someone striving for portentous but merely achieving pretentious . it ' s worth seeing / hearing for the fantastic design but as a film it fails to engage and it fails to be half as clever as it thinks it is .

israel ticas is the only criminologist working in one of latin america ' s most dangerous countries . in el salvador , one child goes missing every three minutes * . many children are killed by other minors in gang related violence . ticas has made it his mission to find the bodies of these children , identify them , and end the agony of their families . the mothers of the missing affectionately call him the engineer . but for the engineer , death no longer evokes fear . death is his every day , it has become his art . he calls the bodies he finds " friends " and his office walls are a macabre tribute to them all . the state and the church in el salvador have recently brokered an unstable truce between the country ' s rival gangs . but will the let - up in the violence allow the hundreds still missing to be found ? will the murderers come forward and reveal the hundreds of secret mass graves still yet to be investigated ? through the eyes of the engineer this film offers a unique insight into the fight . . .

tron was revolutionary . this box office flop was simply ahead of its time . as one of the first films to rely heavily on computer generated graphics , tron opened the door for many of the films we enjoy today . simply watching the behind the scenes is a treat for any engineer , but to watch the film is breath taking . my only complaint is you might want some earplugs for the harsh electronic music . don’t worry , though , they more than make up for that music in the soundtrack of the sequel .

the film has a simplistic storyline - - an old man is on his deathbed , and his last wish is to see his large brood of children happily married before he breathes his last . this is the cue for the seven pairs - -

before the crew enters the chamber to awaken the engineer , elizabeth asks david why the engineers would want to destroy earth . david replies " sometimes before you can create you must destroy " . it ' s also explained earlier in the film that the reason the engineers ship has breathable air is because it was terraforming the planet . so the engineers are planet builders , which is exactly what wayland industries has become . mankind has started to mimic it ' s creators , mankind has even created david so they ' ve become a creator as well .

i would also have to credit this engineer with some degree of forethought . he was the only one on this ship to make it back to stasis and secure himself before the pathogen was able to reach him . i suspect he thought it would be safer to be in stasis than dying in the halls .

october sky is the hallmark of inspirational filmography . the film is based on the childhood of real life nasa engineer homer hickam ( from his book rocket boys ) . it depicts his story growing up in a coal mine town dreaming of a life outside of the mines . to achieve his dream , homer needed to get to college ; too bad he wasn’t built for a football scholarship . inspired by the ground - breaking sputnik satellite , homer and his friends set out to learn about rocketry and achieve their scholarships though the power of their minds , not their bodies .

my suspicion was he recognized what david was and could extrapolate how long he had been asleep , which may have given him greater motivation to deliver his payload , fearing a galactic outbreak of this violent species . the engineer did not seem surprised to see us , likely as a diminutive and less impressive form of itself .

when the engineer is awakened he is faced with his own creation , that is mankind . there is weyland demanding that david ask him what the key to life is . elizabeth is demanding that david ask why the engineers want to destroy earth . one of weyland ' s bodyguards strikes elizabeth sending her to the ground .

not everyone is born with all the breaks ; the good life on a silver platter . to all those that dream big and have started small october sky is the film for you . after all , what is more american than rockets , explosions and nasa ?

wealthy , brilliant , and meticulous ted crawford , a structural engineer in los angeles , shoots his wife and entraps her lover . he signs a confession ; at the arraignment , he asserts his rights to represent himself and asks the court to move immediately to trial . the prosecutor is willy beachum , a hotshot who ' s soon to join a fancy civil - law firm , told by everyone it ' s an open and shut case . crawford sees beachum ' s weakness , the hairline fracture of his character : willy ' s a winner . the engineer sets in motion a clockwork crime with all the objects moving in ways he predicts .

although a pe’s job includes a great deal of communicating and organizing , the first step as a pe is making sure your director of photography makes the greatest images he can possibly make with the equipment you present to him . additionally , taking that captured information to post - production is in the realm of the production engineer .

almost a half - a - decade ago , gandhi krishna announced the commencement of the movie starring aravind swamy in the lead role . and madhuri dixit was penciled to act as his heroine in the film . in fact , promos still were also shot with her .

the ' ghostwriter ' wrote the sentence on a piece of paper , passed through a number of hands to ruth , and shortly after , as he stepped outside with the original manuscript , he was run - down ( off - screen ) in the street ( the same thoroughfare in the film ' s opening ) . he was murdered like mcara , in order to silence him - or were both deaths just an accident ? his manuscript papers blew down the street in the wind as the film faded to white before the credits .

well , according to dr . anil biltoo , the film’s official translator and linguistics consultant , david did as he was asked , translating his words as follows : “this man is here because he does not want to die . he believes you can give him more life . ”

an inspirational movie list for engineers would be incomplete without an entry from the star trek canon . unfortunately , many of the films focus more on action and less on the engineering and social commentary of the tv shows . first contact , however , brings us back to the invention that started the federation : the warp drive . though only peppered as a side story throughout the film , the creation of the first faster than light craft did captivate me as a child . a larger focus on the invention would have surely improved the ranking of the star trek film .

[ a ] ccording to dr . anil biltoo , the film’s official translator and linguistics consultant , david did as he was asked , translating his words as follows : " this man is here because he does not want to die . he believes you can give him more life . "

the general was court - martialed and found guilty for failing to report and concealing the west point gang - rape . he subsequently withdrew from public life . the film ' s ending title : " today , nearly 200 , 000 women serve on active duty in the military services . "

there was only one twin - elias . the other identical twin lukas was killed in an " accident " ( probably one that also disfigured the face of the mother ) before the events of the film . experiencing deep denial and guilt , elias was only imagining that lukas was alive .

i had the impression the engineer did not fear humanity , so much as their lack of individual control . he was privy to , in a matter of seconds , hierarchical dominance behavior , aggression , anger , and directed violence . from the aspect of a species that creates life , certainly an undesirable outcome . perhaps the same reaction we might have if a beloved pet suddenly attacked us . we would put it down , for its own good . the engineer maintained a surprising level of apparent emotional control during his attack on the team and his subsequent launching of his ship . he did not appear to have any issues with completing his mission , so his belief in the necessity was apparent in his actions .

i am certainly not blaming the directors . it is just that the medium is different . compared to those who see the film , the readers are a minuscule percentage . probably my novels would have been read by 30 - 40 lakh people , but the films were seen by crores . in a medium like cinema where the stakes are high , compromises are unavoidable . they don ' t affect me . people who have read my novels are unhappy with the film versions , but those who have not read them are happy with the films . that in itself explains the differencein audience tastes .

sujatha is the nom de plume of rangarajan , a computer engineer by profession and a writer by vocation . he is the tamil novelist with the largest number of stories converted into films . he has worked with topdirectors k balachandar in ' ninaithale inikkum , ' mani ratnam in ' roja , ' shankar in ' indian ' and bharathi raaja in ' nadodi thendral . '

i don ' t think it was really what he said so much so as what david said was in the language of the engineers and that scared the engineer . think of it from his perspective . the engineer is in stasis and is woken up by small humanoids from earth ( i think it is fair to say the engineers would know more about us then we do about them ) . we got someone being very emotional , screaming and crying and then getting beaten and silenced , a creepy old guy , a dude with a gun and then david , talking in his language . the engineer checks him out and sees that he is different and perhaps a threat . he tries to destroy david and the others to complete his mission of cleansing earth out of fear from what has happened ; life on earth now is almost competition if not a threat to other life in the galaxy . in later films mankind is seen terra forming and colonizing the rest of the galaxy , similar to the way the engineers do it all be it not as divine or sentient . so i think what he asked was probaly what wyland asked him to ask , it was just the shock of seeing that humans had learned so much about there creators . but like prometheus , do we understand the power of that knowledge , or will it be our undoing . great film , great scene , great anticipation for any other prometheus sequels !

lien : covenant’s big reveal is that the acid - packed “classic xenomorph” was bio - engineered by david in his man cave . but covenant takes place just 20 years before the original alien . so , if the facehugger design was knocked together by a deranged robot in the recent past , how did the ancient engineer ship in the first movie come to be packed with eggs ?

i think for the first time in india , a computer has been used in screenplay writing , a method usually adopted by hollywood film makers . various software are available for this and kamal is using a particularsoftware called ' movie magic . ' all the information about the movie can be accessed with it . .

in the film ' s tense conclusion , the two agents engaged in a fight - to - the - death combat atop his destroyed control center - lair in cuba . bond raced to disarm the transmitter - antenna of a large satellite dish communicating with a second , deadly rogue goldeneye satellite nuclear - weapon .

dr . ryan stone ( sandra bullock ) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission , with veteran astronaut matt kowalski ( george clooney ) in command of his last flight before retiring . but on a seemingly routine spacewalk , disaster strikes . the shuttle is destroyed , leaving stone and kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness .

it was around that time i came across a folk ballad edited by tamil scholar vanamamalai and published by madurai kamaraj university . impressed by the ballad , i showed it to kamal to find out if it has the potential of a good film . kamal was initially reluctant , but agreed to go through the ballad .

in the brilliant first two - thirds of the film , the focus was on the strange and random behavior of the mother ( a " bait - and - switch " directorial technique ) , not on what the twins were doing . they went to extremes to test and torment her - changing the film ' s mood to torture - porn . elias let a giant pet madagascar hissing cockroach squirm from his sleeping mother ' s chest into her mouth . in a ghastly and brutal torture sequence , the two twins tied their mother to her bed and demanded that she prove her identity , or tell them where their real mother was .

let ' s consider the facts . at the end of prometheus , rapace ' s elisabeth shaw is about to set off in an engineer spacecraft with only mischievous android david for company , her intention to find the aliens ' home world and ask them what the devil they thought they were doing trying to wipe out the human race when it was they who created us in the first place .

so there we have it . david wasn’t up to anything sinister , it just turned out that the engineer wasn’t best pleased to be interrupted by a member of the species he was charged with destroying . apparently , the scene was initially written to involve a much longer conversation , so perhaps more details will emerge in the deleted material on the dvd . or even in a sequel . . .

" read between the lies " was the intriguing tagline for roman polanski ' s taut and increasingly - claustrophobic film about paranoia and power struggles . it had similarities to real - life political figures , including british prime minister tony blair and his wife claire , us sec . of state condoleeza rice , and the halliburton corporation .

avid had as surprise in store as he descended upon the engineer homeworld – a plague of xenomorphs that ravaged the unsuspecting natives from the inside out . but what became of the thousands of aliens spawned in the attack ? the synthetic surely couldn’t have neutralised all of them on his own ? did they turn on one another ? or has david considerately opened a xenomorph sanctuary where they can roam free ?

" [ don’t ] be afraid to take chances , " donlin urges . " it’s important to be bold and brash on your client’s behalf . " know your equipment and listen sincerely to your clients’ needs , donlin adds , and you too can be an effective , in - demand production engineer who stays a step ahead of fear , uncertainty , and doubt ( the fud factor ) one project at a time .

the three main sections of the film were told from different viewpoints : first tully , then jake , and finally lena . jake was warned not to get involved by various competing interests , and clearly cautioned by american colonel muller ( beau bridges ) : " when i was at west point , we put a uniform on a mule . "

at the very beginning of the film , elena calls francesco to announce gilderoy ' s arrival at the studio . although the film is set in italy , when she picks up the phone a continuous dial tone is heard , which is normal for the us or uk ; however , the actual dial tone would have sounded very differently in italy , a country where the phone system has a very distinctive and non - continuous dial tone ( consisting of a 425hz tone with a duration of 0 . 6sec followed by a 1 second pause , followed by a 0 . 2 sec tone then a 0 . 2 sec pause , repeated in a loop until the first digit is dialed ) .

' ninaithale inikkum ' for balachandar was the first script i wrote for a film . before that , my stories had been filmed , but i had not played any role in writing the screenplay or dialogue . for ' ninaithale inikkum , ' i had written a totally different kind of screenplay . unfortunately , owing to constraints like star dates , balachandar did not follow my script exactly . he made several changes and looked at the film as an opera on the lines of abba . my original script was lively and if it had been faithfully followed , it would have been a model screenplay . anyway , no regrets and i enjoyed working with balachandar , his assistant ananthu , kamal and rajni .

does david betray his creator ? his pathological hatred of all of humanity is obvious to us , but not necessarily to them . would he use the opportunity to ask a different question than he was asked or would he comply out of duty ( or programming ) . my suspicion is david asked exactly what he was told by weyland . not that it mattered , the engineer answered only with his actions to kill the team .

in the elaborate and excellent introduction was a footnote which said , " this yousuf khan was originally a hindu vellala called marudha naayagam . kamal immediately jumped at it and felt that the story had all the potential of a good historical film . kamal felt that the religious conversion could be owing to some social oppression and that would form a good subject for filming .

the o in “o’horten” stands for odd , which is something of a translinguistic pun . it is the first name of the main character , a train engineer on the oslo - bergen line whose retirement initiates what action there is in this restrained , bittersweet comedy . and odd horten , a pipe smoker of few words and regular habits played by baard owe , is , true to the english meaning of his perfectly ordinary norwegian name , a somewhat eccentric fellow .

in the moment , the contorted plot and and multitude of loose ends in no way detract from the fun . what a thrill to sit through an alien film that evokes some of the cold dread of old . plus , covenant is legitimately gory – a reminder that , for all his reputation as cinema’s supreme visual stylist , scott can conjure b - movie ickiness with aplomb .

dr . ryan stone is a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission . her commander is veteran astronaut matt kowalsky , helming his last flight before retirement . then , during a routine space walk by the pair , disaster strikes : the shuttle is destroyed , leaving ryan and matt stranded in deep space with no link to earth and no hope of rescue . as fear turns to panic , they realize that the only way home may be to venture further into space .

it was both a complex serial - killer procedural and a neo - noir , with themes of generational sexual abuse , sadistic violence against women , revenge , family secrets , corporate corruption , and nazi racism . it was the first adaptation of the millennium trilogy , a series of books by stieg larsson . there were a number of questions to be answered in the film as it told its story .

where do you expect prometheus 2 to take us , and should it attempt to bring the story back round to the events of the original film ( on both biological and narrative levels ) or blast off into ever more expansive , existential territory ? first person to come up with a viable get - out - of - jail card for scott and his crew wins the gratitude of frustrated science fiction fans everywhere .

writer / director joel edgerton ' s twisting vengeance - based thriller ( his directorial debut film ) had some elements of fatal attraction ( 1987 ) , the hand that rocks the cradle ( 1992 ) , and michael haneke ' s cache ( 2005 ) . a suburban la couple had just relocated from chicago due to a change in the husband ' s work ( and after robyn had lost a pregnancy ) :
