Charles Band’s company Full Moon will be releasing the goofball comedy Barbie & Kendra Crash Joe Bob’s Drive-In Jamboree this Friday, June 28th – and in anticipation of that release, the Full Moon streaming service Full Moon Features is shining a spotlight on the entire Barbie and Kendra franchise, a series they say “started out of the necessities of pandemic lockdowns and has since become one of our most beloved franchises!” Barbie & Kendra Crash Joe Bob’s Drive-In Jamboree is the fourth chapter in the franchise that began with Corona Zombies (now known as Barbie & Kendra Meet the Corona Zombies) back at the height of the pandemic and has continued through Barbie & Kendra Save the Tiger King and Barbie & Kendra Storm Area 51. All of those movies were released in 2020, so it’s been a while since the last Barbie and Kendra adventure.

Horror is my favorite genre of film, and slasher is my favorite sub-genre of horror. I’m always on the look out for a new entry. It’s a genre that’s clichéd by nature, leaning into the familiarity and tropes that have been established and followed for decades. So, when I heard about a new slasher film out of Sundance that followed the perspective of the killer, I was all in.
In a Violent Nature Plot 2024’s ‘In a Violent Nature’
A large malevolent being known as Johnny rises from the grave and begins to stalk and brutally murder anybody he stumbles upon.
The Critique
It’s difficult to break new ground within the slasher-genre. Jason Voorhees is arguably the top-dog in that realm, beating and mutilating promiscuous teenagers throughout the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The quality of those films range wildly,...

OpenAI is pausing the use of a voice named Sky that is part of a new demo of ChatGPT 4.0’s Voice Mode. The emotive voice has been called out for sounding a little too similar to Scarlett Johansson’s A.I. character from the 2013 Spike Jonze film Her, and Johansson herself has now stated she is “shocked, angered and in disbelief” that the tech company would use “a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine” — especially after she declined their offer to hire her to be the voice.
Saturday Night Live highlighted the Johansson similarity during its Season 49 finale Saturday.

It’s the end of the road for Saturday Night Live’s 49th season — and host Jake Gyllenhaal has the perfect way to say goodbye.
During his monologue that kicked off this week’s season finale, Gyllenhaal started out with some thinly veiled complaints that he’s stuck hosting the Season 49 finale and not the landmark Season 50 premiere. (He missed it by that much!) But he was still honored to host an SNL season finale, and he decided to commemorate it with a song, grabbing the mike to croon a version of the classic Boyz II Men torch song “End of the Road.

Terry Levene, the schlock showman who as the head of Aquarius Releasing was behind such films as Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave and Doctor Butcher, Medical Deviate, has died. He was 90.
Levene died Jan. 13 surrounded by his family in Englewood, New Jersey, Severin Films executive Josh Johnson announced.
Operating out of an office above the Selwyn Theatre on West 42nd Street in New York, Levene creatively marketed low-budget American features including Isaac Hayes: Black Moses of Soul (1973) and Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984).
For grindhouses and drive-ins, the onetime amateur boxer rebranded Lucio Fulci’s supernatural horror film The Beyond (1981) as Seven Doors of Death (1985) and Umberto Lenzi’s Italian shocker Cannibal Ferox (1981) as Make Them Die Slowly (1983), promoting the gory latter as “The Most Violent Film Ever! Banned in 31 Countries!”

As the film world continues to reckon with the ongoing impact of the coronavirus epidemic, festivals are scrambling to make contingency plans and movie theaters are being regarded as hotbeds of viral transmission.
Needless to say, streaming is about to play an even larger role in the industry than it already has, and it will be fascinating to see how the larger platforms adjust to accommodate a new kind of demand. Netflix isn’t redrawing its strategy quite yet, but the streamer’s March lineup still has plenty to offer for those who’d rather watch movies from the comfort of their own homes.
Another two Martin Scorsese masterpieces have been added to the service’s ever-expanding roster of the filmmaker’s work, while festival favorite “Crip Camp” starts the annual trickle of Sundance hits, and the anti-capitalist horror allegory “Platform” is a reminder that Netflix can be a fantastic...

According to “Altered Carbon” showrunner Alison Schapker, the “secret weapon” of Netflix’s cyberpunk sci-fi drama is the most compelling rule of its technocratic world: That souls can transfer bodies. That simple premise allows the series to bring fresh talent to its lead character each season as well as bring other characters back from the dead in myriad ways, not to mention imagining a world where women of color are powerful and in charge. Inclusivity is baked into the DNA of the show and that may be its strongest selling point.
Based on Richard K. Morgan’s 2002 novel, “Altered Carbon” imagines a future where a person’s brain can be digitized into a portable “stack,” and then swapped into a new body (or “sleeve”) to achieve immortality. In only two seasons, the show’s militant lead character Takeshi Kovacs has been played by three different actors. Kovacs is the last envoy,...

The 22-year-old North Bergen, New Jersey, rapper-singer 070 Shake, a.k.a. Danielle Balbuena, hit mainstream radar via Kanye West’s Wyoming sessions, functioning as fluid spirit animal/superego on Ye’s “Violent Crimes” and “Ghost Town,” and Pusha T’s “Santeria.” Born to a Dominican immigrant mom, Shake grew up on Lauryn Hill and My Chemical Romance. The flows come hard and soft, in English and Spanish, with verses suggesting a fierce, strong, proud, brave, spiritual being who’s also hungry, searching, scared, self-loathing, and self-destructive. Like plenty of humans, especially in their early twenties.

Last year the The Globe & Mail released an article entitled "What is Wrong with the Canadian Film Industry?" that outlined the problems facing our country’s cinema: low box-office numbers, a crisis of English-Canadian identity, an inability to compete with Hollywood entertainments etc., etc. Focused entirely on the industry, the piece fails to mention the resurgence that had been taking root for quite some time. 2015 was an important year for Canadian cinema, but while Room, Hyena Road and Wet Bum ate up the article’s word count, three of the year’s great Canadian films by emerging directors went unnoticed: Isiah Medina’s 88:88, Kurt Walker’s Hit 2 Pass, and Kazik Radwanski’s How Heavy This Hammer. Equating cinema with ‘content,’ a product to be bought and sold, the article is as much a reflection of the problems with Canadian cinema as an exposition of it. But this insidious...

The Vancouver critics have just joined the party, always offering an interesting assortment of nominations given their practice of splitting off a whole separate section for Canadian films. "Birdman" led the way in the international list, while Xavier Dolan's "Mommy" led the way in the Canadian section (which will probably be cold comfort after his film was unceremoniously snubbed by the Academy's foreign film committee). Check out the full list of nominees below. Winners will be announced on Jan. 5. And, you know: The Circuit. International Best Film "Birdman" "Boyhood" "Whiplash" Best Director Wes Anderson, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" Alejandro González Iñárritu, "Birdman" Richard Linklater, "Boyhood" Best Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, "The Imitation Game" Jake Gyllenhaal, "Nightcrawler" Michael Keaton, "Birdman" Best Actress Marion Cotillard, "The Immigrant" Tilda Swinton, "Only Lovers Left Alive" Reese Witherspoon, "Wild" Best Supporting Actor Edward Norton, "Birdman" Mark Ruffalo, "Foxcatcher" J.K.

With only days left on Viff, there have been a handful of memorable movies at the festival this year but one the best of the fest is also one of the first I saw: Andrew Huculiak's feature film debut Violent (review).
Days before Violent was crowned both "Best Canadian Film" and "Best BC Film," at the festival, I had a chance to speak with Huculiak and we talked a little on his move from music to film, he is the drummer of Vancouver based We Are the City, the special challenges and advantages of shooting in Norway and his favourite filmmaker.

Coming of age and self discovery dramas are a dime a dozen but once in a while an interesting new take on the theme comes barrelling through the noise. Andrew Huculiak's Violent is exactly one of those movies but rather than powering through by force, Huculiak's feature film debut purposefully strides across the room and quietly commands everyone's attention. It's an impossible film to ignore or forget.
Relative newcomer Dagny Backer Johnsen stars as Dagne, a young woman who wants to escape small town life. Her mother makes arrangements for her to move to the city to work at a family friend's store, a job that comes with a place to live around the corner from the shop. It's a barren little apartment but Dagne seems genuinely happy with her meagre surroundings and less that glamor [Continued ...]...

On the surface, there’s no real reason why “Violent,” the debut feature film from Canadian director Andrew Huculiak, should be set so specifically in Norway, and be led by a Norwegian actress whose dialogue and voiced-over thoughts are also in Norwegian. But as the film draws you in, or rather quietly casts its heady spell of sound and atmosphere around you, that eccentric choice begins to make a compelling kind of sense. Not only does Huculiak’s outsider’s eye give rise to some extraordinary cinematography (via Dp, editor and co-writer Joseph Schweers), of Norway’s countryside, towns and cities, but thematically too it feels like, standing at this deliberate remove, the filmmakers can more easily shift between subjective, intimate moments and the broader, ontological themes they illustrate. Not only that, but as non-Norwegian speakers ourselves, the voiceover segments take on a sort of musical quality: while we read...

Andrew Huculiak is best known as a musician - the drummer for Vancouver based We Are the City. The band's first debut was accompanied by 26 minute long short film made up of music videos so it's not too shocking that for their second full length album, the band wanted to make a companion movie. What is odd is that they decided to make that movie in Norway and in Norwegian.
Violent, Huculiak's feature film debut (co-written with fellow band members), stars relative newcomer Dagny Backer Johnsen as a young woman who, while experiencing a "catastrophic event" recalls memories of the people who loved her most.
