JCVD A.K.A The Muscles From Brussels

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies,Up and Coming

“Pop quiz hotshot”, What is the best thing to come out of Belgium? Trappist ale is good guess, but the answer is clearly action all-star Jean-Claud Van Damme. Mr. Damme has starred in over thirty films and can literally perform disgusting, mind boggling splits. The only problem is that he has never overcome one major [...]

The Good, The Bad, and The Weird

Published by dwhitney under Foreign Films,Up and Coming

A couple of weeks ago, there was a rumor that Clint Eastwood had decided to return for another “Dirty Harry” flick. Unfortunatley for those fans of the .44, Clint denied these rumors, he is after all 78 years old. Well, South Korea took a cue from this news and figured if they wanted another Eastwood [...]

Fincher, Pitt, and Benjamin Button

When director David Fincher and Father or the year Brad Pitt get together, things happen. By this I mean apocalyptic anarchy in “Fight Club” and horrific serial killings in “Seven”. So why should a movie adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald Jazz Age short be any different? Well despite seemingly lighter hearted source material, I [...]

A Necessary Death

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies,Up and Coming

When I first saw this preview for “A Necessary Death” around the time it premiered at SXSW, I thought it was only a matter of time before it caused some controversy, or at least some serious press. After all the documentary details the final moments of various suicidal individuals up until the faithful moment. Well, [...]

Dawn of Dead, 3D

Published by dwhitney under Up and Coming

There is a horror movie epidemic as of late. One so devastating, so apocalyptic, as to saturate the market with boring, cliched, an unoriginal movies that make zombies out of audience members the world over. That is unless we are talking about classic horror films revitalized in 3D!!! That is just cool. Today, the Hollywood [...]

Point Break Duece

Published by dwhitney under Sequels,Up and Coming

The concept of a “Point Break” sequel is hardly newsworthy nor does it have anything to do with independent cinema. However, it could singlehandedly be the most important thing that has ever happened in the history of film. Because, for a kid like myself growing up a thousand miles away from the ocean and being [...]

Finally a wine movie with some body.

Published by dwhitney under Up and Coming,War Movies

Wine afficionados have “Sideways”…..beer drinkers have “Strange Brew” and “Beerfest”. Do you see the difference? Well now it looks like both groups have something they can watch together. “Bottle Shock” stars Alan Rickman, Chris Pine, Freddy Rodriquez, Eliza Dushku, and Bill Pullman in a film based on true events relating to a historic wine tasting [...]

The Escapist

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies,Up and Coming

When I first heard about The Escapist, I thought it was based on Michael Chabon’s comic book character in the pulitzer prize winning novel “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay”. Turns out we will have to wait another year until the Coen Brothers finish filming that one. This escapist is veteran Brian Cox playing [...]
