CHAPTER 6: THERE'S NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A PURPLE BEACH SMOTHERED IN MELTING TROMMETTES DURING A CRIMSON TINGED SUNSET ON THE FRENCH RIVERIA, HOLY SHIT I'M TRIPPING MY FUCKING FACE OFF.It's night. When the fuck did it become night? I'm naked. Where the fuck did my clothes go? I'm on the beach. Why the fuck did I leave the film market?I think this is the Plage de la Balterie, Cannes' infamous nude beach. Ok, at least I'm not calling attention to myself by being naked since it's supposed to be a nude beach.But it's also raining, so no one else is nude right now.I'm sprinting along the beach. I don't know why, but it feels great. I think I see Anne Hathaway taking a stroll... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...]

Trailer for Maniac. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Franks obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill. A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult filmconsidered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made - an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

All is Lost is a monumental achievement in that it ever got made, not to mention that it could turn out this good. Nearly dialogue free and centered on one man as he finds himself alone at sea, a hole in his boat's hull and a violent storm on the horizon. The result is astonishing.

Remember how The Hangover Part II was a lukewarm rehash of The Hangover, almost beat-for-beat the same story, with little originality? Todd Phillips evidently heard our complaints and has addressed them in The Hangover Part III, which is nothing like the first two and features no hangovers. It is barely a comedy. Heck, it's barely a movie. Our focus this time is Alan (Zach Galifianakis), the Kramer of the series, a man-child who is mentally unwell and perhaps mentally handicapped. His behavior has gotten more erratic lately, so his family and friends -- including the Wolf Pack, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Doug (Justin Bartha) -- gather to stage an intervention and send him to a rehab facility. What it is they... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...]
