After spending over a year in negotiations, unionized postproduction coordinators in the New York area have unanimously ratified their first labor contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
The ratification vote took place Dec. 19, with 67 percent of the bargaining unit turning out to vote and all participating union members voting to support the agreement. Around 60 postproduction coordinators who work in scripted film and TV (members have been credited on titles including the 2024 Mean Girls and Severance) currently belong to the group, a subsidiary of the Communications Workers of America union. The contract went into effect on Dec. 31, with signatories including Apple Studios LLC, HBO Entertainment Inc., HBO Films Inc., Netflix Productions LLC, Universal Television LLC, Universal Content Productions LLC and Paramount Pictures Corporation, among others.

Almost every horror movie stops for a moment of exposition that sets up or explains the horrors that await or that have been endured. These are the scenes where directors can either conjure their inner cheeseball and pump up the spooky music or prepare the audience for more than what they bargained for. The legend of the monster, the backstory of the slasher, the warning to the meddling teenagers, these are all elements of atmosphere designed for one thing: to make you squirm before the real scares begin.

American Werewolf in London (1981) – Beware the moon
The horror genre is at its most impactful when leaving exposition to a minimum. Prioritizing narrative clarity over effective scare-mongering may ensure a tight narrative that can’t be held up to scrutiny, but it also ensures that the audience knows what to expect, all but draining the movie of tension. In An American Werewolf in London,...

It’s the moment you wait for the entire horror film. It’s not just a plot twist or a payoff but a trigger to your deepest emotions. You want to be shocked and sickened and saddened when the killer is revealed, the hero suddenly dies, or the mystery is solved. Most of all, you want your jaw to be on the floor. **Spoilers obviously ahead**

The Brood (1979)- Mommy knows best
David Cronenberg’s third horror film is his first truly great movie and also his first superbly acted film. The Brood’s ensemble is solid but Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar stand out as maverick doctor Hal Raglan and his disturbed patient Nola Carveth. Nola’s estranged husband Frank (played by Art Hindle) teams up with Dr. Raglan in the film’s suspenseful climax. He confronts Nola while Raglan attempts to rescue Frank’s young daughter from a group of murderous deformed children.

The Tribeca Film Festival, which was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff, in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center – has continued to grow and impress each year with their incredible line-up. Sound On Sight has had the privilege to cover the fest for five years now, and so I asked our writers who attended this year, to list their favourite film. Considering the abundance of riches, this was no easy task. In other words, take note of these films, and put them on your list of essential viewing.

Traitors
Among perfect pacing, thrilling suspense, and a tight script, Traitors is a good-looking film due to Gullette’s collaboration with cinematographer Niko Tavernise. After making films with Darren Aronofsky at Harvard, Gullette went on to play and share story credit on Aronofsky’s debut feature Pi. Through Aronofsky, Gullette went on to develop a relation with Tavernise,...

7: Hellboy 2
There’s a palpable joy to Hellboy II: The Golden Army, a tactile love that graces every scene, bringing to life a fantastical world full of wonders and terrors, and enlivening the proceedings with enough cleverness to keep things moving along. Where Hellboy is a servicable comic-book adaptation from the early era of the genre, when studios wanted to slap together a film of anything that had ever been on the shelf of a comic book store, Hellboy II is a fully formed vision; its Guillermo Del Toro letting loose, spending the collateral he earned with his masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth on a playground of his own fantasies.
If Hellboy is a super hero origin story, this sequel is the origin of a fully-formed mythos. The titular demon (Ron Perlman) leads a team of paranormal investigators (including Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Seth MacFarlane, and Jeffrey Tambor) in an...

Witty, insightful and unapologetically New York, are just a few ways writer-director Noah Baumbach has been described. Born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Baumbach made his writing and directing debut with Kicking and Screaming, immediately drawing comparisons to both Woody Allen and Whit Stillman. Through his seminal film, he’s received an Academy Award nomination for his original screenplay The Squid and the Whale, and garnered critical acclaim for Margot at the Wedding and his recent black-and-white salute to the French New Wave, Frances Ha. We here at Sound On Sight are huge fans of the filmmaker, so we decided to rank his films from favourite to least favourite. Here are the results.
Note: Since only one writer voted for Highball, we’ve decided to not include a capsule review.

Self-taught writer-director Richard Linklater was among the most successful talents to emerge from the new wave of independent American filmmakers in the 1990s. Typically setting each of his movies during one 24-hour time period – and with non-formulaic narratives about seemingly random occurrences – Linklater’s work explored what he dubbed “the youth rebellion continuum.” In the early 1990s, his debut feature Slacker was hailed as something of a manifesto for Generation X, and ever since, the filmmaker has earned a loyal fan-base world wide with such hits as Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise. As big fans of the filmmaker, the Sound On Sight staff decided to vote on our ten favourite films from the director.
Note: There was two ties.

10: Suburbia
Originally a play by performance-artist Eric Bogosian (who also wrote the script), Suburbia is a character driven mood piece, which delves into the hearts and minds of a group of young adults.

Community,“Pilot”
Written by Dan Harmon

The aughts emerged right off its centennial heal with an array of sitcom comedies heavily revolving around groups of various character types.

A Single Shot
USA, 2013
Directed by David M. Rosenthal
When John Moon (Sam Rockwell) accidentally shoots a young woman and discovers a bag full of cash, he has to make the fateful decision whether to provide for his separating family or come out clean. His struggle to conceal both the death and the money formulates a whirlwind of consequences that ultimately heightens into a battle for survival. With overall great performances by Rockwell and Jeffrey Wright (Simon), the film is both widely suspenseful and comfortably predictable. Treading the line of a Hitchcockian thriller, the film definitely tests the limits of an ordinary man as he takes on plight to stay alive. With some of the year’s most surprising scenes, A Single Shot will bring you to the edge of your seat and shock you, making it by far one of the best films debuted at Tribeca 2013 this year.

The Broken Circle Breakdown
Netherlands, 2012
Directed by: Felix van Groeningen
Bjorn Eriksson’s original score of electrifying bluegrass melodies performed throughout Felix van Groeningen’s The Broken Circle Breakdown, resonant from the most upbeat country foot-stomping fun, to the bellows of somber sorrowed hymns. The Belgian director’s drama about a love drunk, star-crossed relationship struck by grief encompasses unfathomable measures. With many highs and lows, The Broken Circle Breakdown is a raw and realistic look at life’s unexpected occurrences done so with great tenderness and reverence to both joy and pain.
When Elise (Veerle Baetens) and Didier (Johan Heldenbergh) meet, it’s love at first sight. When they move into an old farmhouse where their daughter Maybelle is born, their happiness reaches its zenith. But when leukemia strikes the hopeful new family, these two very different lovers are forced to fight for the extent of their love. Elise finds comfort in spirituality,...

1. Northwest
Directed By: Michael Noer
Denmark, 2013
Power and money are the vital forces in this high octane crime thriller. When organized crime grabs hold of the way of life for desperate Casper, he must rely on the only person he can trust: his brother. Michael Noer carefully balances the brutish depiction of street crime with the tenderness of growing up in a tight knit family. The film breaks any spell of an innocent youth being corrupt by crime, by shining the spotlight on a delinquent who turns around and becomes innocent.
2. Flex Is Kings
Directed By: Deidre Schoo and Michael Beach Nichols
USA, 2013
Originating in Brooklyn, flexing, or a style of freeform street dance, is the subject matter behind Deidre Schoo and Michael Beach Nichol’s solid documentary, Flex Is Kings. Characterized by rhythmic contortionist movements combined with waving, tutting and gliding; the film is about so much more than the subject matter at hand.

Ever since his introduction onto the world stage with Shallow Grave, Danny Boyle managed to carve a unique path without having to give in to studio pressures. He is always reinventing himself, always dabbling in new genres and working with new technology – and despite a string of less-noteworthy Hollywood films, Boyle returned in 2008 with Slumdog Millionaire, which went on to win eight Oscars, and 127 Hours in 2010, which was nominated for six. Despite the recent acclaim, Boyle has always created frantic, highly-stylized films with characters often struggling with human vices and weakness. After directing the opening and closing ceremonies of The Olympic games, which nearly a billion people watched, Boyle is back with his latest project Trance, a psychological thriller in which a hypnotherapist helps an art auctioneer recover memories of where he stashed a stolen Goya. With the release of Trance, I asked our staff to list the films of Danny Boyle,...

We are wrapping up our month long Quentin Tarantino movie club marathon, and what better way to go out than to give away a prize. We worked hard all month long recording not one, but four epic podcasts looking back on the Tarantino’s oeuvre. It started with episode 341 of the Sound On Sight podcast in which Tim Buell of First Showing joined Ricky and Simon to break down Tarantino’s breakthrough features, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. On episode 46 of the Sordid Cinema podcast, we took a look at two wildly different efforts: 1997′s Jackie Brown, in which Tarantino tackled someone else’s fictional universe and Tarantino’s half of the Grindhouse double feature, Death Proof. If that wasn’t enough, on episode 47, guest Chris Clemente joined us to discuss Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair. Finally, just in time for Christmas, we concluded with converging for an epic take on Django Unchained,...

Kill Bill marked the return of renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino after a six-year hiatus. Re-teaming the director with Uma Thurman for the first time since 1994′s Pulp Fiction; this loving recapitulation of ’70s-era chop-socky cinema, for better or for worse, was chopped into two films. Ten years later, and now Ricky, Simon, Edgar and special guest Chris Clemente discuss and review the whole bloody affair.

Flight
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Written by John Gatins
2012, USA
Premiering at the closing night of the New York Film Festival, Robert Zemeckis dives back into live-action filmmaking from a twelve year motion capture hiatus with Flight. An audacious, well-matured character ensemble piece about a man whose most heroic venture may have resulted from his most innate pitfall, this provocative drama gives Denzel Washington one of the most layered and conflicting characters of his career. The Paramount release will be a gripping arrival on November 2 for audiences, proving to be the thought-provoking robust taste many will crave by year’s end.
From the film’s very raw beginning, we are introduced to commercial airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washngton), a middle-aged man who knows how to live life large as well as the ropes to piloting. We meet Whip lying in bed at seven o-clock in Orlando from an alcohol induced coma,...

Amour
Written by Michael Haneke
Directed by Michael Haneke
Germany, 2012
Rightful winner of the Palme d’Or award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Michael Haneke’s Amour not only flawlessly brings about a heartbreaking depiction of the somber facets that galvanizes life’s digression, but from a cinematic triumph, harks back onto screen the fundamental unities that make up the neoclassical drama: unity of time, space and action. Amour follows George (Jean-Louis Trintignant ) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva). Both in their eighties, retired music instructors, they primarily live a cultivated life in their upscale England apartment, of which the film firmly resides. One day as George and Anne have breakfast, Anne becomes unresponsive and blank. Escaping pleads from her husband, George quickly gets dressed to find his wife regular again and unaware of the event that just occurred.
From this onset, Haneke transcends the film onto Anne’s complete and merciless downfall.

Not too long ago I asked the Sound On Sight staff to choose their ten favourite films of all time. The result led to mixed reactions (both by staff and readers), and some angry feedback. But how could any of us select only ten films from the thousands we’ve seen and walk away happy with the results. The fact is, of all the films which received a vote, it was those more widely available who made the cut. In other words, films such as The Godfather and Pulp Fiction stood a greater chance of receiving more ballots than say, obscure foreign gems.
My biggest disappointment with the picks, although only ten films were spotlighted, was the lack of votes for films directed by women. Could it be that none of us here at Sound On Sight valued great directors such as Claire Denis, Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman or Lina Wertmüller?...
