Time for Breaking Prawn!! (get it?) - The Final, Final, Final Muppet Parody Trailer

 

"A Night out the movies would have been nice..and then the Muppets had to go out and ruin it." - Statdler and Waldorf

I am very glad that this final Muppet Parody trailer is dropping. Partly because while I love the parodies, it's time to get on with the movie and other part is because...well, it's time to get on with the damn movie.

To say I am eager about this film is an obvious understatement as readers of this site know, I love me these Muppets something fierce.

So far, all the marketing has been exemplary. The frenzy that it has whipped up has made everyone a believer and should translate well into box office numbers.

This latest and last trailer definitely brings it. We get parodies of Twilight, Puss In Boots, Happy Feet, a pretty awesome Paranormal Activity one and the best one of all, a parody of its own parody trailer.

You still with me?

Well on to the trailer.

Time for Breaking Prawn!! (get it) - The Final, Final, Final Muppet Parody Trailer

 

"A Night out the movies would have been nice..and then the Muppets had to go out and ruin it." - Statdler and Waldorf

I am very glad that this final Muppet Parody trailer is dropping. Partly because while I love the parodies, it's time to get on with the movie and other part is because...well, it's time to get on with the damn movie.

To say I am eager about this film is an obvious understatement as readers of this site know, I love me these Muppets something fierce.

So far, all the marketing has been exemplary. The frenzy that it has whipped up has made everyone a believer and should translate well into box office numbers.

This latest and last trailer definitely brings it. We get parodies of Twilight, Puss In Boots, Happy Feet, a pretty awesome Paranormal Activity one and the best one of all, a parody of its own parody trailer.

You still with me?

Well on to the trailer.

[UPDATED] Shah Rukh Khan in Toronto on Oct 26th for RA One Premiere...But Who Really Cares?((tag: xavierpop, film, pop-culture, nerdiness, tumblrize,Arjun Rampal,Bollywood,Cinema of India,India,International Indian Film Academy Awards,Kareena Kapoor,Ra.On

***UPDATE***

Looks like King Kahn will be landing at Pearson Airport Wednesday October 26th at 11.30. Time to get your best 'I'm sick' voice ready.

******

Hey Indian Cinema fans, do we have a scoop for you. Looks like King Khan himself, Shah Rukh Khan will be in Toronto to attend the premiere of his upcoming movie Ra One.

After confirming via twitter that he will be coming, King Kahn took to YouTube to officially invite people to the this premiere screening.

The premiere will take place at the TIFF Lightbox starting at 7.30. Mind you, I imagine people will be lining up long before then.   In the meantime, if the recent IIFA awards was any indication, folks should start warming up their vocal cords now.

This movie is quite ambitious by Indian Cinema standards and the global marketing accompanying it is even more bold. With this film, the producers are hoping to shake off the stigma of second-rate films that Bollywood films produce. Quite frankly, the trailer looks weird and way cheesy, so I am sorry to say that this looks like more of the same, which isn't bad, but really not good enough for the pomp and circumstance surrounding it.

Coupled with this, the event producers for the premiere are more worried about selling tickets at $200 bucks a pop to the screening as well hocking an After-Party. So it would seem that SRK's visit to Toronto is probably wasted as a select of the same wrong few will see the film and the ones who should be seeing it, simply won't care.

All that said, below is the trailer for Ra.One plus the full video of the main song, Chamak Challo, Original Article

Louis does Toronto After Dark - Review of Redline

Takeshi Koike already has an impressive resume of work which includes directing  the "World Record" segment of  "The Animatrix" and being the lead animator on "Ninja Scroll".  His full length directorial debut is nothing short of a high paced, adrenaline fueled foray into a universe where a deadly race is held every five years. Working at Madhouse ( Ninja Scroll, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), he has taken the lessons learned there and applied them well with this feature.

"Redline" starts fast and furious with a race - The Yellowline. The winners of this race determines who will be the new contestants in the infamous Redline race.  It only serves to be a taste of what is to come.  We meet "Sweet" JP, a racer known for his sense of fashion and spectacular and frequent crashes at the end of each of his races - Yellowline being no exception. We discover that it may be due to race fixing as his partner is actively working with a mob boss altering the odds as the race plays out.  Disqualified from Redline for his loss, he later discovers the planet where the race is to be held is going to actively try to kill anyone willing to race there.  After two racers drop out, "Sweet" JP is given his chance to race R edline and eagerly takes it.  While the plot is minimalist and anime fans will see clichéd characters, it only really serves as a backdrop to the real point of the film - racing.

Redline took seven years to develop and production included 100,000 hand-made drawings.  It shows, as the movie is a visual representation of high octane racing at its best.  With bright, bold colors in every shot, you are never left guessing what you saw or confused about what is happening.  The subtitles can be a little distracting during the action, as you have to either watch or read, but this is only for some brief periods during the race itself.  It paces itself with a visual style inherent to Japanese animation, but this very different from anything else.  It's Speed Racer on Meth. Visually stunning and unique.

The techno soundtrack meshes perfectly with what unfolds onscreen - thumping, fast paced, driving as hard and as quick as the cars themselves while also being light and unobtrusive when it needs to be.  There is nothing subtle about the movie though. While minor plot elements hint at politics, crime, war and corrupt governments, at no point do these become either explained or distracting.  There is something in every scene, every frame that moves brightly with a kinetic energy that only serves to build in intensity to the final checkered flag.

And when you get there...yeah, it is a fantastic payoff.

I recommend this to anyone who likes anime, or racing, or spaceships, or explosions. Well, you get the idea.  If at all possible, see it in a theater on a big screen as loud as you can, as that is what the movie itself is, big, loud, and demanding to be seen.

Louis does Toronto After Dark - Review of DeadHeads

Mike Kellerman (Michael McKiddy) awakens during a zombie outbreak. Horrified at what he sees, he starts running for his life. However, as he is running it slowly dawns on him that they are not attacking him.  It is not until he comes across Brent Guthrie (Ross Kidder), he realizes what the audience already knows, they are both zombies.

Thus begins DeadHeads by brother directors Brett and Drew T. Pierce.  While thinking, talking zombies may seem an odd backdrop to use for a buddy picture, the directors use the idea very well and to great effect with a wry humor that belies the serious nature of being one of the undead.  The two newly found friends decide that Mike needs to find the woman he was to marry. So with hunters trying to capture them and a third zombie aptly named Cheese (Markus Taylor) in tow, they set off in search of love.

Trailers can mislead an audience in regards to the content of a film or the quality.  It is now common practice that a film that isn't very funny will often times put the best jokes in the trailer. So after seeing the trailer for Dead Heads, I went in with some hesitation.  Not only was I pleasantly surprised that the jokes in the trailer were not the best ones, they were by no means the only ones.

The jokes come fast and timely, keeping well within the constraints of what the filmmakers set out to achieve.   Not only are the situations unique and funny, the running commentary of perennial jokester Brent only enhances what could have been an otherwise pedestrian movie.  It is a tribute to the actors and the director to have put together this story in such a way as it has.  Every scene has purpose and intent, fitting well within the entire plotline.  The ending may be predictable, however like every good road trip movie, the destination isn't really the point.

The cinematography is well done. While not visually stunning, it is not meant to be and that makes it an easy film to watch.  The soundtrack is in the same vein. Sleek and professional, it gives just the right touch to the comedy on film.  And let me say, if you are a fan of dark humor, you will find this very funny.  I find myself wanting to compare this to iconic and beloved "Shaun of the Dead" as I'm sure some might want to do because the humour is just as good. It is a bit different though, more North American.

There was gore aplenty to satisfy horror fans mixed with more than a few jokes about appendages not staying attached to our heroes and other complexities of being undead.  We are also peppered with more than a few 80's references, and they come fast and without warning. So pay attention.

The real fun is the witty banter between the two leads with Ross Kidder in many cases stealing the show.  The idea of two zombies walking to find true love is too farfetched and whimsical to be taken very seriously, yet the actors and directors know this and have embraced this by simply telling it as one long farcical joke.  At no pint do you find yourself laughing at it, only with it.

DeadHeads will not go down in history as one of the best comedies ever made, but it will give you a good laugh and a fun time.  What else do you need from a comedy?

Monegasque Princely Family to Open TIFF's Grace Kelly Exhibition((tag: xavierpop, film, pop-culture, nerdiness, tumblrize,Academy Award,Country Girl,FashionTelevision,Grace Kelly,Kelly,Monaco,Prince Albert II of Monaco,Toronto,Toronto International Film F

I like how the Toronto International Film Festival rolls. Not only are they showcasing the most extensive collection of Princess Grace of Monaco memorabilia (who was the stunningly talented Grace Kelly before she was married), they have just announced that members of the Monegasque Princely family will be attending the grand opening festivities.

OK, that is pretty damn cool.

Oh Look! A Press Release:

MONEGASQUE PRINCELY FAMILY TO OPEN TIFF’S

GRACE KELLY EXHIBITION

Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco scheduled to attend grand opening event on November 2

 

Toronto â€" Piers Handling, Director and CEO, TIFF, and Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox, announced today that members of the Monegasque Princely family will join in the grand opening festivities for Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess. On November 2, 2011, Their Serene Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Monaco will visit TIFF Bell Lightbox to officially open the exhibition and attend a private reception. The exhibition opens to the public on November 4, 2011.

“It is an honour to welcome members of The Monegasque Princely family to TIFF Bell Lightbox. Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess is a tribute to the life and style of one of the world's most beloved stars and to have Prince Albert and Princess Charlène open the exhibition is a great privilege,” said Handling.

 

Additional information on the event will be available in the coming weeks.

Exhibition Information
Running to January 22, 2012, Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess features rarely-displayed items and artifacts ranging from Grace Kelly’s days as a leading lady in Hollywood to a princess of one of Europe's oldest royal families. The exhibition features many of her original dresses, a special exhibit around an exact replica of her iconic wedding gown, her signature “Kelly bag” and tiara, along with photos from her childhood scrapbooks and high school yearbooks, letters signed "Affectionately, Hitch," telegrams from Prince Rainier and her Academy Award® statuette for The Country Girl. Kelly’s personal home moviesâ€"shot on Super 8, and featuring her famous friends and familyâ€"provide visitors with an extremely rare glimpse into her personal life. Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess is based on the Grimaldi Forum’s “The Grace Kelly Years ” exhibition in Monaco, and the Victoria and Albert Museum’s “Grace Kelly: Style Icon” exhibition in London. TIFF Bell Lightbox is the only venue in North America to host elements from these landmark shows and to complement the exhibition with dedicated film programmes.

 

Launching in conjunction with the exhibition on November 4, TIFF Cinematheques’s film series Icy Fire: The Hitchcock Blonde is a fascinating exploration of the great director’s obsession with the cool, regal blonde goddesses that Kelly played for him in Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief and Rear Window, and December brings a Grace on Screen programme which surveys Kelly’s brief but spectacularly successful screen career from her first small appearances to her most famous starring roles.

 

Tickets for the exhibition and film programmes are on sale now. TIFF Members get free access to Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess and can purchase additional tickets at non-member prices in person, by phone and online. Non-member tickets are $15 plus tax (child/student/senior discounts available). Combo exhibition / film discounts are offered on the phone and in person only. Tickets for the exhibition are timed-entry. Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Wednesday â€" 10 am to 6 pm, Thursday to Saturday â€" 10 am to 9 pm, Sunday â€" 12 pm to 6 pm, Monday â€" closed.
