Coming To A Cinema Near Me...
UGC - following on from last years asia extreme season - which featured: shiri, the happiness of the katakuris, sympathy for mr vengeance, a snake of june, fulltime killer, bad guy and public enemay - asia extreme 2004 has just been announced. this years season starts with the grudge, which i've seen the trailer for a couple of times, looks promising, despite the hyper-dramatic-americana voice over. that is then followed by a tale of two sisters, phone, save the green planet, into the mirror, chaos, ki-duk kim's the isle, and takashi miike's gozu.
also coming,
16 years of alcohol - i've seen reports that this film was partially mentored by director wong kar-wai, which i find a curious idea. the latest scottish film to deal with the predictable themes of alcohol and scottishness, but at least it sounds like it has some potential. directed by richard jobson, who was a member of the punk by the skids, before becoming a TV presenter, and writing the semi-autobiographical novel this film is based on. with a cast of kevin mckidd, laura fraser, ewen bremner, and susan lynch there is some potential, and comparisons to requiem for a dream and wilbur wants to kill himself could be promising.
last life in the universe - i presume this is a thai film, about a japanese man (tadanobu asano) in bangkok, where he is attracted to a local girl, who's suicide he witnesses. comparisons to chungking express and 15 are made.
new york minute - i think for me this has to be the scariest film of the month, the full page ad in this month's cinema brochure, those staring plastic eyes! shudder!
