Director Max Newsom (“Plunge: The Movie”) returns with new film “Iceland Is Best,” featuring a winning turn from Judd Nelson (“The Breakfast Club”) and a fresh young cast.

The film follows 17-year-old Sigga who tells her parents she is leaving her beautiful Icelandic fishing village to become a poet in California as her grandfather has just given her enough money to buy a plane ticket. Her parents are shocked. and her three childhood friends, Kati, Benni and Gunni, don’t want her to go. Complications ensue when Nikki, a good-looking stranger, enters the mix.

The cast also includes Kristin Sophusdottir (“Case”), Tom Maden (“Famous in Love”), Helena Mattsson (“Iron Man 2”) and Tom Prior (“Kingsman”).

“Iceland Is Best” is the first collaboration between Newsom and No Reservations Entertainment. The film’s genesis is from when Newsom was acting as head of development at a film fund in Los Angeles.

Feisty teenager Sigga longs to move to California from her small hometown in Iceland. At least the scenery’s interesting

Here’s yet another quirky indie film with a feisty teenager who longs to get as far away from her birthplace as possible. The setting is a small fishing town in Iceland, however, which lends an interesting international flavour to a movie where, curiously, all the Icelanders speak English to one another. This is because Sigga (Kristín Auður Sophusdóttir), the disaffected protagonist, is about to board a plane to Topanga, California, and so everyone must speak “Californian”. Alas, the script is just as thin as this bizarro excuse.

Accompanied by a group of her best friends, one of whom always carries a canoe with him because, again, this is a quirky coming-of-age-film, Sigga’s numerous attempts to leave home are constantly thwarted by chance encounters. She randomly sits in a...

Stars: Jesse Metcalfe, Alexia Fast, Veronica Dunne, Tom Maden, Sabina Gadecki, Corey Large, David Hennessey, Cinta Laura Kiehl, Timothy V. Murphy | Written by Corey Large, Steve M. Albert | Directed by Corey Large

When a group of students hire a luxury yacht for an end of term party they are looking forward to a night of drink and debauchery. They soon discover, however, that there is an additional passenger on board – a mutant creature that is determined to pick them off one by one. The night of their lives soon becomes something straight from their nightmares.

The first thing that strikes you about The Ninth Passenger is not the cast of chads, or the choice to shoot scenes in a ridiculous soft-focus… No, it’s the goddamn soundtrack. Whomever mixed this film needs to got back to sound mixing school – this is one of those films that throws stupid, overwrought, over...

"Why hack the ships when you can hack the pilots?" Dust has debuted an impressive new sci-fi short film titled Sky Fighter, available to watch in full for free today on their YouTube channel. This dense 15-minute short is about two pilots fight a war in the distant future in their fighter-bomber spacecraft. But is the true enemy their alien opponent...or each other? This is just a few notches above the usual homemade sci-fi, with an awesome set and some fantastic VFX work throughout. There's one incredible shot when they finally get a look out of a window. I love when filmmakers go all out reminding us what space is really like and in order to leave us in complete awe. Sky Fighter stars Tom Maden, Jess Gabor, and Erik Palladino. There's also a killer score by Bobby Villarreal to go along with the visuals. Highly recommend giving this your time.

Just as we began watching the season’s fourth episode, “Aftermath”, my friend turned to me and jokingly remarked, “Isn’t it sickening how fucking rich these kids are?” We laughed, but then the episode did something we weren’t expecting—it laughed with us. The show had unexpectedly, yet very enjoyably, turned on its characters. It agreed, it is sickening how fucking rich these kids are.

This was completely different from where the show stood on how it wanted its audience to perceive its characters in the first three episodes. The first episode ended with Noah telling Riley and the audience that “You have to care about these characters, so when they do get killed, you feel it.” The first three episodes had the intent of making the audience root for the characters,...

Despite scepticism from fans of the franchise, MTV's Scream series honours the first rule of remakes: don't eff with the original...

The Scream franchise is deservedly adored by cinemagoers and critics, and widely considered to be one of the best horror films to come out of the back end of the 90s. You can certainly see why, with Kevin Williamson's tack-sharp script packed with zingers, its overall clever subversion of the genre, a sterling central performance from Neve Campbell and an undercurrent of cheeky fun. The third act is still, to this day, a triumphant blend of humour, (literally) knife-edge tension and genuine scares.

Few horror movies have achieved what Scream did. Or, to give it its dues, what Scream 2 also did. The sequel to Wes Craven's original hit could have been a messy affair but it achieved an improbable feat: it was just as fun and spooky as the first.

If one glances around at the Movie-to-tv adaptation landscape, things are looking surprisingly good. Hannibal is the best show on television right now, Fargo was one of the best surprises of last year and looks like it will continue as such in its second season this fall, and now MTV is adding one more Movie-to-tv adaptation to its roster; shout out to MTV’s other Movie-to-tv breadwinner Teen Wolf, a show that is totally unashamed of how ridiculous and heightened it is and succeeds because of it. MTV’s Scream is so far surprisingly not terrible in the same way that Albert Pujols is playing surprisingly not terrible baseball right now–it’s a comfort, but you still expect more.

This new series takes the iconic Scream franchise and fits it to television,...

MTV has previewed the first eight minutes of its upcoming Scream series.

The video shows Bella Thorne's character Nina getting gorily killed by a masked serial killer in a scene reminiscent of Drew Barrymore's death in the original movie.

The small-screen adaptation won't initially feature the masked Ghostface killer.

Willa Fitzgerald, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Amadeus Serafini, Carlson Young, Connor Weil, Tom Maden, Brianne Tju, Bobby Campo and Amelia Rose Blaire star.

The TV series has been developed by Jill Blotevogel.

It debuts Tuesday, June 30 on MTV in the Us.

One episode was provided for reviewing purposes prior to broadcast.

“You can’t do a slasher movie as a TV series,” posits the new resident meta-expert of MTV’s Scream, Noah Foster (John Karna). The token nerd argues that slasher movies burn bright and die fast, bodies piling up within minutes and the big reveal happening a sleek 90 minutes later. TV is more languid, giving ample opportunity to build up characters just in time to, in the case of the opening seven minutes of this new Scream, slit their throats. “You have to care. You have to root for them. So when they are brutally murdered, it hurts.”

I’ve spent approximately 41 minutes with this gaggle of hyper-aware, alcohol-guzzling millennials, and maybe the most surprising thing about the show is that, in all the efforts I put against it and its overly cutesy advertisements, I cared, and it did hurt.

If there’s one modern franchise I revisit several times a year, it’s Wes Craven’s Scream series (yes, even Scream 4). Ever since Drew Barrymore first took that ill-fated phone call, I was hooked and through three sequels, I’ve been there every step of the way, rooting on Sidney Prescott and hoping to see Ghostface dispose of his victims in the goriest of fashions.

Now that Scream is heading to the small screen with MTV’s new television series iteration, which begins on June 30th, those in attendance last night at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival had the opportunity to watch the first episode during a special red carpet event at the Regal Theaters at La Live. I will admit to being rather intrigued- and nervous- going into this first episode because I wasn’t sure how the approach was truly going to work but, much to my surprise,...

On paper, General Education looks like a passable summer teen comedy. Written by newcomers Elliot Feld, Jaz Kalkat and Tom Morris, and directed by Morris, the film seemingly has the right ingredients: A good-looking, but slightly geeky high school hero (Chris Sheffield); an overbearing dad (Larry Miller); clueless mom (Janeane Garofalo); eccentric little sister (Mckaley Miller) and a passel of weird loser friends (Skylan Brooks, Harvey Guillen, Sean Przano and Seth Cassell). Oh, and lest we forget, there’s a beautiful girl (Maiara Walsh) and a bully (Tom Maden) thrown in for good measure, too....
