The scariest movie coming out this year isn't about a murderous psycho or a ghostly demon who terrorizes a couple in their own home. It's Chris Smith's (American Movie, The Yes Men) documentary Collapse, where one man uncannily outlines the dark path our nation and world are heading down. He's no Nostradamus talking about the "great bear from the east" or anything, he's just a normal guy using the same facts and figures available to everyone.
The exclusive poster might only feature the back of his head, but once you hear Michael Ruppert talk (he's a bit like The Smoking Man on The X-Files), you'll realize why the truth is much scarier than fiction. The movie opens in New York on 11/6, Los Angeles on 11/13, and will be released on cable video on demand on the Cinetic FilmBuff channel on 11/15. Bug your provider now if you don't already get it -- this is one you definitely don't want to miss.

FilmBuff Goes Online! Discover More Gems!

Every day seems to bring a new channel for delivering great, unheralded film right to your television or laptop. The latest is Film Buff, a video-on-demand channel run by Cinetic, and overseen by Matt Dentler, former producer of the legend that is Austin's SXSW. Variety has the details great and small.I can't describe this channel better than Cinetic president John Sloss, who says its "as if your most film-literate friend programmed your Netflix queue and it was immediately available." They plan to offer as many as 15 first run films and classics per month, and the first slate is pretty tasty: The Carter (the Lil Wayne documentary that premiered at Sundance), Enzo Castellari's original The Inglorious Bastards, the 1984 documentary The Times of Harvey Milk, Richard Linklater's Slacker, and Michael Almereyda's New Orleans, Mon Amour. Dentler stresses that they won't be limited to Cinetic repped titles, nor will they only showcase new releases. FilmBuff also aims to champion older films in need of rediscovery, especially if they're tied into a hot trend or remake, such as Quentin Tarantino and his Basterds.
Sundance deals: Wordplay in play
Filed under: Documentary », Deals », Sundance », RumorMonger »
People have been talking about Wordplay,
Patrick Creadon's doc about Will Shortz, the editor of the infamous New York Times crossword puzzle. Though
our own James found it torture to sit
through – in no small part because, as he puts it, the film apparently "has all the gravitas of lint"
– audiences are responding well (overheard in a line: "It's good. It's Word Wars, but it's not.
It's good."), and buyers are interested. According to indieWIRE, reps from four distributors
(Picturehouse, Warner Independent, Fox Searchlight and Roadside Attractions) put in face time with the filmmakers
yesterday over bacon, eggs, and – what else? – the Sunday puzzle. The ink was reserved for the crossword,
however – Cinetic has yet to close a deal on the picture.
