Wed, 14 Sep 2011 02:06:55 GMT The “Sound On Sight” radio show has also been consistently shortlisted one of the best film podcasts 2007-2010. It is marketed principally towards students and genre enthusiasts, and typically features in-depth discussion and debate on contemporary film. Simon had the immense privilege to attend the Telluride Film Festival as part of the Student Symposium, meaning he got to watch lots of great new films and talk to the filmmakers behind them. He's joined by Telluride veterans Kate Rennebohm and Olivier Creurer, and together they're got three heavy hitters to discuss: Wim Wenders's 3D doc "Pina." David Cronenberg's divisive "A Dangerous Method," and Werner Herzog's "Into the Abyss."

Rick, Justine and Simon braved all three of Noé's flicks this week so you don't have to. Tue, 19 Oct 2010 13:57:39 GMT Argentine Gaspar Noé might not be the cinema world's most prolific provocateur, but he's certainly one of the most vigorous. After a long stint helming short films, he burst onto the scene with 1998's caustic I Stand Alone, which chronicles the life and times of a troubled butcher / ex-con in early 1980s France. 2002 saw the release of Irreversible, one of the decade's most polarizing and controversial films, a rape-revenge tale told, naturally, in reverse. Noé has finally returned with Enter the Void, an ambitious, 240-minute first-person feature that transcends all boundaries of time, space, and good taste. Rick, Justine and Simon braved all three of Noé's flicks this week so you don't have to.

Unfortunately, our collective unconscious is full of creationists and Tea Partiers and the people who go to Maury Povich tapings, so a lot of what we dream about when half asleep is actually really stupid. Accordingly, while Craven has made some brilliant films, a chunk of his output hasn’t really struck a chord as resonant as Scream or A Nightmare on Elm Street. Tonight on Sound on Sight, we take a look at three of Craven’s lesser known films: urban fairy tale The People Under the Stairs, voodoo thriller The Serpent and the Rainbow, and comic book adaptation Swamp Thing, about a scientist who turns into a vegan turd. We’ll also review Craven’s latest film, the 3D slasher My Soul to Take. Horror auteur Wes Craven makes films torn from the nightmares of the collective unconscious.

Romero has always been known for the social commentary of his films, the political subtext his fans claim transform his gore flicks into the equivalent of a Jackson Pollack painting made with intestines. The Crazies, from 1973, is just such a film; a story about a bioweapon that’s more a platform for Romero to comment on the military than a horror movie. But how does the 2010 remake hold up to the original? Tonight, on Sordid Cinema—Sound on Sight’s poorly educated, clinically demented cousin—we take a look at both Romero’s original, and director Breck Eisner’s remake. Once we get bored with that, we’ll fill the rest of the hour with a review of Devil Times Five, a 1974 cheapie in which mental illness is treated just as exploitatively, but with the added bonus of turning children into tiny, bloodthirsty perverts.

Recently, she’s made a move into more mainstream cinema, starring in Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, and Canadian cult film king Lee Demarbre’s Smash Cut, in which she plays alongside David Hess and Ray Sanger in a tribute to the films of Herschell Gordon Lewis.

When Cameron temporarily retired from making blockbusters to spend his fortune on submarines and delusions of grandeur, director Jonathan Mostow took the reins of the third film in the franchise, introducing a busty female Terminator seemingly inspired by a Maxim-magazine wet dream.

When Cameron temporarily retired from making blockbusters to spend his fortune on submarines and delusions of grandeur, director Jonathan Mostow took the reins of the third film in the franchise, introducing a busty female Terminator seemingly inspired by a Maxim-magazine wet dream. And in 2009, Terminator: Salvation hit the big-screen, the first Terminator film not to involve time travel. Tonight, in Part 2 of our Terminator special, Sound on Sight takes a look at Part 3 and 4 of the long running science fiction franchise. Part 2 blurb: In 1984, director James Cameron created the Terminator franchise.

His reign of laughter / terror began when he directed the smash hit, the 40 year old virgin. Than things got really busy in 2007 with the teen sex romp Superbad and Apatow’s second directorial job in Knocked Up. This year things get complicated.

But not the ghosts and ghouls sort of way. The uncle who buys you underwear for Christmas and licks his palm after shaking your hand kind of creepy. In the past 30 years, Cronenberg has returned time and time again to themes of sexuality, infection, and a really slimy combination of man and machine.

His early films, such as 1989’s sex, lies and videotape, were the sort of intimate, deeply personal stories that stun film critics at Sundance but tend to find less success when playing alongside Rocky sequels. Nevertheless, the director has found great commercial success in recent years, with films like Erin Brockovich and Ocean’s 11 ringing in millions at the box office and, in the case of 2000’s Traffic, earning Soderbergh an Oscar for Best Director. Since then, he’s alternated commercial studio fare with low-budget, indie-friendly work. His latest film, the $60 million dollar, four-hour epic Che, may be a perfect synthesis of these two seemingly contradictory styles.

Over the last thirty years, moviegoers have endured countless films that carry the tag "slasher" - nearly all of them being direct descendants of two classic horror films, Bob Clark's "Black Christmas" (1974) and John Carpenter's "Halloween." Since then, they've become an efficient source for studios to make quick cash, as they're inexpensive to make and usually bring swift business year-round. A surefire way to get your slasher seen? Tie it to a holiday, in a move we see major studios trot out nearly every year. To that end, we're going to tick off a few of these often-dubious but usually fun films - "April Fool's Day," "Happy Birthday to Me," "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and the May Day-themed "God Told Me to Kill."

A director who is capable of crafting both deeply unconventional independent films and mainstream crowd-pleasers, Gus Van Sant has managed to carve an enviable niche for himself in Hollywood. Since debuting in 1985 with Mala Noche, Van Sant has become one of the premiere bards of dysfunction, populating his films with a parade of hustlers, junkies, psychopathic weather girls and troubled geniuses. After two failed attempts, Van Sant has finally brought to fruition his biopic on Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person to hold public office as city supervisor in San Francisco until his assassination in 1978. We’ll take this opportunity to not only review his latest opus but to rewind you back to his first film, Male Noche, and his most popular, My Own Private Idaho.
