INDIGENOUS

arrives on VOD December 8th from Momentum Pictures!

A group of five young friends travel from Los Angeles to exotic Panama for a week of partying in lush tropical paradise. Befriending a beautiful local woman in their hotel bar, they learn of a secret jungle hike to a pristine waterfall nearby. The woman cautions them strongly against the hike, warning that other gringos in search of the legendary waterfall had mysteriously disappeared into the jungle, never to be seen or heard from again.  

Ignoring her warnings, the group convinces the woman to guide them to the picturesque waterfall, thinking that they have nothing to fear with a local as their guide. What begins as a fun outing quickly turns terrifying when their guide mysteriously vanishes after a romantic tryst at the falls. As night closes in, the friends realize too late the truth behind her warnings - horrific, bloodthirsty, flesh-eating creatures are now stalking them. The mangled survivors rush to jungle caves for shelter, only to realize they’ve entered the monsters’ lair!

Hi Everyone.

Was a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. My father surprised me this morning with home made pancakes and then later today with my whole immediate family present, we enjoyed one of the best tasting turkeys I can remember having and I am not a huge turkey eater, but I certainly helped myself twice this evening. All in all it has been a beautiful Thanksgiving. I hope yours was too. Thank you.

CULVER CITY, Calif. (Nov. 23, 2015) – Academy Award^® winning Director Robert Zemeckis, (Best Director, Forrest Gump, 1994) uses cutting edge technology to bring to life the true story of THE WALK,debuting on Digital HD Dec. 22 and on Two-Disc 3D Blu-ray^™ Combo Pack, Blu-ray and DVD Jan. 5 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) stars as Philippe Petit, a young dreamer who brings together a band of unlikely recruits to achieve the impossible: a wire walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. With little more than nerve and blind ambition, Petit and his ragtag crew overcome daunting physical obstacles, betrayals, countless close calls and overwhelming odds to beat the system and execute their mad plan. THE WALKalso stars Academy Award^® winner Sir Ben Kingsley (Best Actor, Gandhi, 1982), Charlotte Le Bon (Yves Saint Laurent), James Badge Dale (World War Z) and Ben Schwartz (“Parks and Recreation”).

The 3D Blu-ray and the Blu-ray are exclusively loaded with additional bonus materials, including deleted scenes and two behind-the-scenes featurettes. In “First Steps,” viewers witness Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s first steps on the wire during pre-production, as he learns to “walk the rope” from the legendary Philippe Petit. Viewers also hear the actor and his mentor speak to the physical and mental skills required to master this incredible skill. “The Amazing Walk” is a three-part series that breaks down “the walk.” In addition, the featurette touches on the epic recreation of the Twin Towers and their role as a character in the film. 

 

Synopsis:

Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever walked in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.

THE WALK is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the towers of the World Trade Center.

Turbo Kid (2015) VOD Rental Feature Film Review.

What a great little homage to the 1980s post apocalyptic b-movie knockoffs that permeated video store shelves long after the decade was over and more and yet Turbo Kid is also an homage to comic books and even a post apocalyptic superhero origin story. 

Set in the year 1997, surviving humans scavenge the remains of the old world and drinkable water is a tradable currency since it is necessary for life. The Kid (Munro Chambers) meets a beautiful wide eyed girl in the remains of a playground after returning from trading. The girl is named Apple (Laurence Leboeuf) and she immediately takes a liking to the kid and seems to latch on to everything and anything he is into. 

When Zeus, a warlord who controls the distribution of fresh water in return for those who will pledge their lives and enforce his law, (played with zest by b-movie veteran Michael Ironsides), decides the reign terror upon the remaining survivors in the wasteland for his own amusement, Apple is kidnapped and The Kid must save her. Coming across a bunker with a power suit like his comic hero Turbo Man, the kid journeys to the warlord's stronghold under the guise of Turbo Kid to rescue her and also forms an alliance with The Cowboy (Aaron Jeffrey), the only other man to ever stand up to Zeus and live.

Turbo Kid may sound silly, but it is actually a far smarter film than it appears on the surface. The screen direction is spot on and the action and gore is appropriately over the top to the point of dark comedy, but at the heart of this gem is your basic western motif so often used in Sci-Fi films and the filmmakers took great care to get every little nuance just right so that it feels like a straight to video film, but is light years ahead of the genre it embraces with a script that shows the filmmakers are indeed literate, following Chekov's rules of drama and adding some neat surprises as well as some poignancy to boot. The casting choices were perfect for the film. Michael Ironsides looks like he is truly enjoying himself here while Munro Chambers is quite likable as the unlikely hero and he shares great screen chemistry with Laurence Leboeuf, who lights up the screen with charisma and wit in every scene she is in. Aaron Jeffrey is solid as The Cowboy. 

From the music to the sets to the purposely dated effects, Turbo Kid is a must see for genre film fans who enjoy something off beat, smart, fun, violent and sweet and it manages to pull it all off with a few surprises making this homage original onto itself. Turbo Kid is available to rent or own now on demand through streaming and subscriber television outlets.

The Expanse: Syfy Original Series Review

Set  in the 23rd Century, The Expanse deals with various factions representing different personal and political interests following the disappearance of the daughter of a powerful Earth based diplomatic and corporate interest (Florence Faivre). Aboard the Ceres space station, a Detective (Thomas Jane) is assigned to find her and in the process becomes embroiled between the conflicting interests of a group marked as terrorists operating in the colonies that are responsible for asteroid mining known collectively as The Belt. Meanwhile survivors of an ice freighter destroyed by a mysterious stealth vessel believed to be in league with Mars is put in between the Cold War conflicting interests of Earth and Mars, leaving Engineer Jim Holden (Stephen Straight) in the difficult situation of declaring without fulling knowing who to trust, that terrorists from The Belt are responsible for the destruction of two ships, one of which had the missing runaway heiress. Collectively forces engage each other with system wide war in the balance while an unprecedented threat comes into play that may in fact threaten the survival of the entire human race.

The Expanse is Syfy's most ambitious series in the history of the network and has a subtle Game Of Thrones feel, which is not entirely surprising since it is inspired by a continuing Hugo nominated books series also collectively called The Expanse. The series is very engrossing and clearly aimed at adult viewers with a bit of basic cable nudity, language and some bloodless action. The look of the show is reminiscent of Syfy's own reimagined Battlestar Galactica, but with a slick theatrical quality to it and fantastic visual effects. The series is well cast with additional regular and recurring roles played by Cas Anvar, Wes Chartham, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Paulo Castanzo, Chad Coleman, Jay Hernandez, Jonathan Banks, Jared Harris, Boyd Banks, Julian Richings, and Kenneth Welsh.

I screened the first four episodes of The Expanse and found it to be surprisingly engaging as well as entertaining. Syfy will launch a sneak preview of the series premiere on VOD and online on Monday, November 23, 2015. Then The Expanse will premiere over two nights on Monday, December 14th and Tuesday December 15th at 10pm/9C on Syfy. The Expanse will then regularly air on Tuesdays at 10/9C for the remainder of its 10-hour first season.

Intriguing and thought provoking, I highly recommend giving The Expanse a view.
