Awesome Zombieland Photos!

Straight from First Showing comes the first lot of photos from Zombieland. Here is the story...

Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Here are the photos...

I didn't think this had started filming yet, guess I was mistaken. This is Kevin Smith's new movie and here is first picture feauturing Tracey Morgan riding a tricycle whilst getting chased by a pitbull. Looks hilarious.

Awesome Transformers Poster

Another week, another Transformers poster. This is probably the best so far.

Last House on the Left Review

The original 1972 Last House on the Left has long been regarded as one of the most confronting films ever released. The film was banned in Australia up until 2003 and until recently, I didn't really want to watch it. Having since watched it, I personally found the original version is over-rated, its very camp and so badly acted that you can't take anything seriously. It was a joke and I think its a big joke that it managed to be banned for so long.

The story sounds lame on paper, however, after watching the original film I could see that the story had lots of potential if explored correctly and now we have the remake. Remakes usually suck with of course the very rare exception. The problem I find with most remakes is that they are remaking a film which doesn't need to be remade, like The Grudge or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Last House on the Left was one film that really needed to be remade, but not some half-ass attempt, and thankfully Rogue Pictures have pulled out the goods and brought out a confronting and disturbing thriller which is one of the rare highlights of the genre.

The first key area this film got right was the cast. The cast in the original were all pornstars and as you would expect, their acting was terrible. Garret Dillahunt brings a scary sadistic menance to the role of Krug, the head baddie. You can tell he doesn't take shit from nobody and he will more then likely slaughter you the first chance he gets. He is a very frightening to watch. Sara Paxton clearly has a heap of skill and she, for me, was the films highlight. Not having seen her in anything before, I figured she was just another Disney kid with very little acting capabilities, but she really surprised me. Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn are great as Paxton's parents. The rest of the cast also handle themselves well.

Where the great acting really plays a part is in the rape scene which made the first film so famous. Here they have shortened it and cut a few bits out from the original, I always found the original's scene to be quite lame with bad acting, it didn't feel like a movie, it felt more like a reanactment that you would see on the news. The director has made this movie much darker and his actors do an excellant job of making this scene disturbing as shit. I personally had to watch it on mute because Sara Paxton's acting was first-rate. Its not an enjoyable scene, but the film-making is top notch.

Rogue Pictures went through well over 100 directors before settling on Dennis Iliadis. I haven't seen Iliadis' previous film, but the film was apparently so well received with the studio that they signed him right away. He shows that he has a lot of skill, creating scenes you would expect from a film veteran. The car crash for example is one of the best filmed I've seen in recent memory, it is a dark and brutal scene that suites the film perfectly and the angles used in the scene are fantastic. He also manages to build a lot of tension. The film is unusual because the tension has to given off of the killers and not the victims, as is usually the case, which requires a different kind of film-making. Iliadis does this perfectly and the final product is a very intense picture.

The film doesn't slip into the un-needed brutality of pictures like Hostel and Saw. Violence isn't dwelled on, its a quick cut and its just confronting enough to disturb but not too confronting that all tension is lost or make you ill. Its a near perfect balance and even the silly last scene of the movie is forgiven because it follows the same pattern of all the other violence in the movie.

Whilst many people will be completely put off by this movie, I however recommend everybody see it. The film is so realistic and so depressing that it will shock even the most hardened viewer to their core. It will make you think for days on end and its a film you will never forget. Sometimes films challenge their viewers and this is one film that is a challenge, you will not enjoy sitting through it, but thats the whole point. This film is brilliant, near perfect.

5/5

Shrink Poster

Just minutes after posting up the trailer, I have found out the poster was also released. The movie tells the story of LA's top celebrity shrink who is unable to cope with a recent personal tragedy and turns into a pothead with no concern for his appearance and a creeping sense of his inability to help his patients. Sounds interesting. The film looks set for release later this year.
