As we inch closer to Halloween 2017 with each passing day, that means another month is upon us and that we have a new crop of horror and sci-fi VOD and digital releases coming our way over the next four weeks. September kicks off with a pair of releases on the 1st—Temple and The Vault—and the Tuesday after Labor Day will play host to three different titles, too, including The Atoning, The Basement, and Revelator.
September 8th is another busy day, with Anti Matter, Circus Kane, and The Limehouse Golem all making their digital bows, and the 12th boasts five different films arriving that day—Baby Driver, 47 Meters Down, Clowntergeist, The Hatred, and The Prison.
As if all that wasn’t enough, look for the Garbage Pail Kids Story doc on the 20th, and both The Houses October Built 2 and Welcome to Willits arrive on the 22nd. The...

“The Guts, Gags and Glory of a Lot of Wonderful Guys!”
— say, what kind of movie is this, anyway?
Action movies about combat are now mostly about soldiers that fight like killing machines, or stories of battle with a strong political axe to grind. WW2 changed perceptions completely, when a mostly civilian army did the fighting. With the cessation of hostilities combat pictures tapered off quickly, and Hollywood gave the subject a break for several years.

Join us for a rundown of all the biggest comics stories from the past seven days:
Arrow's Oliver Queen will never have a goatee
We think we can take this as the final word on Green Arrow's traditional chin fluff.
100% no. Never. Our show could go 14 seasons and a goatee will never appear. Hope that clears things up. Forever. https://t.co/pudAfBIhsD

Bryan Singer is a bit of a social media fiend when he's shooting, so we can't pay attention to every picture that goes up.
But we couldn't resist flagging up this impressive set piece, which must be from the titular villain's base in X-Men: Apocalypse or we don't know comics at all.
Is Bendis teasing a second Iron Man series?...

Now this is a list that could result in a lot of fascinating dissection and thanks to HitFix it comes to our attention almost three years after it was originally released back in 2012, celebrating the Motion Picture Editors Guild's 75th anniversary. Over at HitFix, Kris Tapley asks, "Is this news to anyone elsec" Um, yes, I find it immensely interesting and a perfect starting point for anyone looking to further explore the art of film editing. In an accompanying article we get the particulars concerning what films were eligible and how films were to be considered: In our Jan-feb 12 issue, we asked Guild members to vote on what they consider to be the Best Edited Films of all time. Any feature-length film from any country in the world was eligible. And by "Best Edited," we explained, we didn't just mean picture; sound, music and mixing were to be considered as well.

A random bit of researching on a Tuesday night led me to something I didn't know existed: The Motion Picture Editors Guild's list of the 75 best-edited films of all time. It was a feature in part celebrating the Guild's 75th anniversary in 2012. Is this news to anyone else? I confess to having missed it entirely. Naturally, I had to dig in. What was immediately striking to me about the list — which was decided upon by the Guild membership and, per instruction, was considered in terms of picture and sound editorial as opposed to just the former — was the most popular decade ranking. Naturally, the 1970s led with 17 mentions, but right on its heels was the 1990s. I wouldn't have expected that but I happen to agree with the assessment. Thelma Schoonmaker's work on "Raging Bull" came out on top, an objectively difficult choice to dispute, really. It was so transformative,...

The 2011 Fantasia International Film Festival has come to an end and as usual was a rousing success with more than 100,000 audience members. In addition 150 international directors, actors, and producers presented their films at the fest. Read on for the wrap-up and winners from this year's various competitions.
From the Press Release: sThe festival opened with a bang with the Canadian premiere of Red State by director Kevin Smith. This was only the first in a long line of sensational special events that took place over the course of the festival. Among those was the incredible homage to the great John Landis (Burke And Hare), marked by the presentation of Fantasia’s new trophy “Le Cheval Noir.” Mirroring our strong launch, the festival closed with the Canadian premiere of Guillermo del Toro’s Don’T Be Afraid Of The Dark. Other memorable events included: the homage to André Link and John Dunning...

My first exposure to Canadian filmmaker Larry Kent was in Fantasia's tribute reel to the maverick producing team of John Dunning and André Link, co-founders of Québec's legendary Cinépix production company. That reel affords the opportunity to see Larry Kent as a dashingly handsome young filmmaker. Unfortunately, the much-heralded on-stage tribute to Dunning and Link effectively capsized the festival's international posture by insisting on being unapologetically Québecoise. As no translative services were provided, it quickly became clear that I had not been invited to this particular party, specifically because I was an English-speaking media guest. So I left them to steep in their self-congratulatory regionality and sought out programs where I would be welcome. Fortunately, however, later that evening at the Irish Embassy Pub--the...

As Fantasia rings in its 15th anniversary, they are celebrating the founding fathers of Quebec’s genre cinema heritage — the legendary producing team of John Dunning and André Link a.k.a. the Roger Cormans of Canada. The duo regularly took risks supporting exciting new talent, kickstarting the careers of some of Canada’s greatest filmmakers such as David Cronenberg, Denys Arcand, Ivan Reitman, Denis Héroux, George Mihalka, Claude Jutra, Jean-Claude Lord, Don Cormody and Larry Kent, to name a few. Fantasia will be screening a ton of old Canuxploitation films for free throughout the fest, but there are also a number of promising Canadian features set to premiere. Below is a list of the three Canadian films I feel are most promising.

1- Beyond The Black Rainbow
Panos Cosmatos‘ debut, Beyond the Black Rainbow, is one of the must see films at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival.
