by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re now just over a week away from The 5th Wave’s anticipated release, and three exciting clips for the film have just debuted online.

The film is based on a young adult novel by Rick Yancey, and in it “four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.”

Re-watch the film’s trailer right here, take a look at the clips below, and let us know what you think! The 5th Wave hits theatres on January 15th!

‘The 5th Wave’ Gets An Intense New Poster!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I still don’t know a lot about the Chloe Grace-Moretz starring The 5th Wave, but I do know that the film’s first trailer was intense as hell, and that I can’t wait for more footage to be released.

Sure, it’s not new footage, but a cool new one-sheet for the film has just made its way online. The image features Chloe shielding her character’s brother, while a massive District 9-esque ship hovers in the background.

Geekscape Sundance Reviews: Laggies

by MCDave

Writer/director Lynn Shelton is best known as an influential figure in the frequently coined “mumblecore” movement. This style of filmmaking often refers to a lower budget and the hefty use of natural improvisation rather than tightly sticking to a script. While the movement has gained a niche following and broader base, Shelton’s latest go-around is far from the “mumblecore” label.

Laggies stars Keira Knightley as Megan, an unmotivated woman in her late 20s who has no idea of what she wants to do with her life. After watching her longtime friends and boyfriend of over a decade cleanly move on to adulthood, she struggles to discover her own identity. And after lying about going on a week-long career retreat, Megan instead shacks up with a new high school aged friend (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her skeptical father (Sam Rockwell) in order to take some time to figure out her future.

laggies1

There’s something strange and crazy about director Lynn Shelton’s Laggies. For such an unorthodox story, the film is surprisingly heartwarming and honest. The writing and acting breeds an inordinate amount of purpose and identity to all of its characters. Some may refute that the feature’s secondary characters are campy and embellished, but in the entire context of the film they work quite nicely. It all begins with a solid foundation from leading lady Keira Knightley. Her sweet and soulful performance enables the audience to connect with Megan on a deeper level and look past her periodically flawed judgment. And while Chloe Grace Moretz dishes out fine supporting work once again, there’s two other names that need to mentioned. First, there’s up-and-comer Kaitlyn Dever. The young actress gave a breakout performance in last year’s unforgettable drama, Short Term 12 (one of my Top 10 films of 2013). Here she has a diminished role, although it’s one that adds spice and bravado to the movie. Furthermore, we’re given ANOTHER amazing turn from the vastly under-appreciated Sam Rockwell. From the moment he appears on screen, the film immediately picks up and dashes to the finish line. Rockwell is a true talent that’s never given the respect he deserves. But thankfully for his game changing performance, Laggies ends up being a wonderfully executed drama.

Laggies2

Despite the feature’s exceptional dialogue and charming wit, Laggies has its detractors. The first act has a noticeable drag, but Rockwell’s introduction quickly takes care of that tiny problem. It’s easy to disregard a bumpy beginning thanks to a lofty amount of perfectly timed humor and fantastic performances throughout. And while some of the decision making of its characters feels suspect and unrealistic at times, these simply become minor flaws in an otherwise fine feature.

Lynn Shelton has found budding success in her filmmaking career, but you can expect Laggies to launch her to a whole other level. The movie generates an unbreakable bond between its characters and the audience, one that lasts long after the credits role. Making Laggies one of the finest films at Sundance this year and one that you should look forward to in 2014.

New ‘Carrie’ Clip, “Stop Hurting Yourself” Now Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the film’s first clip from earlier this month, MGM today debuted a second scene from Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie.

The video is short, clocking in a just 16 seconds, and spotlights a distraught Carrie attempting to console her clearly unstable mother. The clip really showcases the fantastic performances that the film is sure to have, and it makes me very excited to get in line on Friday night.

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! Carrie hits theatres on October 18th!

The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson, but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Advertisement or not, this is unbelievably intricate and absolutely hilarious.

A new viral video promoting the release of this month’s Carrie remake has popped up online, asking the question: what if telekinesis was real?

The answer: you’d freak the shit out of everyone.

The video takes to a New York coffee shop, where unsuspecting visitors are treated to a telekinetic freakout. Honestly, the reactions are priceless (and you know that you’d do the same thing).

Don’t Go To Prom: Watch A New Featurette For ‘Carrie’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Carrie is barely a month away from theatres at this point, and it’s looking better and better with each new trailer, clip, and still released.

MGM today debuted a brand new behind-the-scenes look at the film, which looks to contain a few pieces of new footage, as well as a myriad of interviews with the film’s cast and crew.

The featurette is certainly a great look into the anticipated movie, and from what I’ve seen so far, Chloe Moretz should play a fantastic Carrie. Take a look at the featurette below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Carrie hits theatres on October 18th!

Watch A New Trailer For Kimberly Peirce’s ‘Carrie’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re now just over a month away from the anticipated release of Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake, and MGM has just debuted a second theatrical trailer for the film.

This trailer looks to go deeper into Carrie’s relationship with her mother, just how much she gets tormented in school, as well as a little more of what happens on the fateful night when she decides that she’s had enough. The preview could even be considered spoiler territory… if Carrie hadn’t originally released nearly fourty years ago.

‘Carrie’ Gets A New Poster

by Derek Kraneveldt

We’re just a few months away from Kimberly Peirce’s anticipated remake of horror classic Carrie, and MGM has just debuted a new poster for the film.

This Carrie adaptation is looking very impressive in my opinion; tt’s got an excellent cast, a chilling trailer , an awesome motion poster, and much, much more. I can’t wait to see the full feature (and wish that it hadn’t been delayed).

Take a look at the new poster below, and let us know what you think! Carrie hits theatres on October 18th!

‘Carrie’ Motion Poster Is Gory, Clever

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s been some time since we’ve seen any new marketing for Kimberly Peirce’s remake of Stephen King’s Carrie. I’m quite excited for the film, as both the trailer and released still photos have looked well shot, emotional, and disturbing.

A new motion poster for the film has just debuted online, and while showing off a few gory pieces of the film, it’s also clever and hilarious. Take a look at it below, and you’ll see what I mean.

 

Keep calm and Carrie on indeed. I’m as sick of that phrase as the next guy, but that is an amazing, hilarious exception. Carrie hits theatres on October 18th, and I can’t wait! How do you feel about a remake of this classic?
