Meanwhile in: Los Angeles (20 Years Ago Today)

On April 29, 1992, a jury in Ven­tura County ac­quit­ted four LAPD of­ficers of beat­ing Rod­ney G. King. The beating, caught on am­a­teur video­tape, sparked a na­tion­al de­bate about po­lice bru­tal­ity and ra­cial in­justice. After the verdict, angry crowds gathered on street corners across Los Angeles. The in­ter­sec­tion of Florence and Normandie in South L.A. became the flash point, but it was a scene eer­ily re­peated in many parts of the city in the hours that fol­lowed.

Outside In: Trailer

OUTSIDE IN is a celebratory and historical look at street art through the lens of the Museum of Contemporary Art's groundbreaking exhibition Art in the Streets. The film features renowned artists Shepard Fairey, Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Martha Cooper, Invader to name a few. Director Alex Stapleton (Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) documents the artist's creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists' evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution.

Filmed at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) in conjunction with the exhibition Art in the Streets

Iron Sky Teaser

I'm not big on the science fiction but exiled Nazi's living on the dark side of the moon avenging the old Fuhrer is a must-watch in my books.

Nazi lore states that the war was lost because Hitler was focusing on building a spaceship in Antarctica. Looks like they've now built up enough weaponry to take on Earth once again... More on Nazi alien stories here...

"HOW TO SELL A BANKSY" TRAILER

Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall? Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses, Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy. “HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.

"Catfish" Trailer

Here is another movie set in the slowly blossoming 'social network' genre. But no need to write it off as that just yet. It starts of with guy meeting girl on facebook. Guy and girl get close. This moves on to telephone calls and meeting the girl's family through facebook as well. Eventually guy feels comfortable enough to give girl a surprise visit. And that's where it all goes wrong/creepy. This movie really looks like it's one to watch. It's been hailed as "the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never directed" by the Financial Times. I don't know about you but I'm excited. Oh and by the way, it really happened?

Darren Arronofsky's Black Swan Trailer

Darren Arronofsky has surprised with every single of his four features particularly with Requiem for A Dream and The Wrestler. Black Swan so far is surrounded by too much mystery in the advertising campaign though, being described as a superrnatural-thriller set in the world of ballet. Resembling Splice's don't reveal all from the start trailer campaign the new trailer features the first glimpse of the super-natural part as Natalie Portman appears slightly transformed at the end of the trailer with red eyes and feathers floating around her. Is this Arronofsky going Croenenberg, Lynch or just Splice? Time and the new trailer will tell-maybe.

Pelican Blood trailer

Still without a UK release date, Pelican Blood was one of the revelations at the Edinburgh Film Festival. It proves that Brits can still do exciting films without mourning the state of council estates and without re-cycling Guy Ritchie's neo-cockney gangster films. The film is about bird-watching, suicide, that one chick (abundance of bird analogies-I know) that nearly destroys you, finding your way in life and how vegetarians are mental (my own personal conclusion). This is a cult classic in the making. Great soundtrack with music from Crystal Castles and the Do.

Ravenous Remake: Let Me In

THE ORIGINAL Let The Right One In THE RAVENOUS REMAKE Let Me In In this first installment of Ravenous Remake we recommend you see the Swedish Original before the Hollywood plastic epic remake ruins it for you or before friends come to you saying its the best thing they have ever seen after the 3d space smurf movie. It's the story of a kid who befriends the girl next door who turns out to be a vampire. The Swedish original is eerie, touching and broke new grounds in the sub-genre of vampire films, the film being much more than the usual gore and neck bite-fest vampire flicks usually are. The American one will make the snow-plough a fashion item, give Chloe Morritz a star-vehicle and pay off starving hardcore bands. Even the title change suggests that Hollywood wants YOU to chew your brains in the multiplex.

OZ Attacks!- Red Hill Trailer

Following the post on Animal Kingdom, here's another taste of the new wave of crime-thrillers from down-under. Red Hill is an ultimate gender-bender and blender: part neo-western, part crime-thriller, part social commentary with vicious moments of horror. A sensation at the Berlin and Edinburgh Film Festivals, It's the story of young constable Shane Cooper and his first day at work in small and highly conservative Australian town. When an Aboriginal murderer escapes, it triggers panic amongst the locals as he seeks revenge on those who put him in jail. But, as in every excellent crime-thriller, nothing is what it seems, corruption runs deep and twists keep coming . This new wave of Aussie films have a very revisionist character and goes deep into the hidden issues of Australian past and society. Nevertheless, he viewer is spared of preaching and sermons instead being treated to a great genre spectacle. For all of you who fought the Jonah Hex film would be the revival of westerns, forget about it and look this one up instead. The apparent villain even has a better facial scar game and is so brutal that he makes No Country for Old Men's Anton Chigurgh look like a Bible salesman.

OZ Attacks!- Animal Kingdom Trailer

A series of Australian film are making a hell of a buzz this year, on the festival circuit as well as the film blog realm. If in the previous years there was a wave of spine-chillers from New Zeeland and Australia now film-makers from down-under have embraced a genre they haven't been renowned from: the crime-thriller. Animal Kingdom impressed at Cannes Film Market, was appreciated at Sundance and looks like it will get a fall release in the US. Plot: born in a family of criminals, the main character is forced to make a choice between being loyal to the family and go to prison or rat on his own brothers, with the promise of a crime-free life. The Darwinistic words of wisdom from Guy Pierce's character make me believe this a Scorsese-scale gem in the making. Weak point: the trailer has a touch of the cheesy through it's use of Air Supply's soap-fest 'All Out of Love' but hey, the world has run out of epic rock anthems to feature in trailers maybe.

The Video Website

You don't get a bullshit trailer of a bullshit film without a remarkably decent parody. (If you haven't seen The Social Network trailer, scroll down a couple posts.)

The Social Network

Following our previous post on this movie, we now give you a deeper look into the 'Facebook' movie. ps: Justin Timberlake is in this movie.

Goon Trailer

The trailer for comic book adaption Goon just premiered at the holiest of holy geek meetings, Sand Diego ComicCon. It does look like about the edgiest, sickest and most violent thing done in 3D feature animation yet (Tomek Baginski is another record breaker in this niche), so far dominated by toddler enchanters (I know- weird term). Eric Powell's Goon comic book series is a cult favourite blending genres such as crime, noir and zombie with the title character looking like a Hulk-ified prohibition era bootlegger. As far as I can tell from the trailer the black humour and the graphics are true to the source material.

Teaser for David Fincher's The Social Network

The days of joking around about making Facebook the film are over. Like really over. Because it seems to be ready. Well it has a teaser with dialogue mentioning the name Mark Zuckerberg and showing Jessy Eisenberg's (Zombieland) face at the end. At the helm of the film is none other than David Fincher (7even, Fight Club, Zodiac) so while everybody is saying that a website is the least cinematic thing you can film I'm sure it's in good hands. Press Like.
