'The Tournament' Trailer is a Ton of Bloody Fun!
Filed under: Action », Independent », Thrillers », Newsstand », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »
In any given action movie, who is the character you remember the most, the guy (or girl) you walk out of the theater desperately wanting to emulate? Isn't it usually the cold-blooded assassin, with tricks and gadgets, and the ability to get in and out of every building and trap? If it's not, you should reevaluate your priorities.
But at any rate, if one assassin is cool, what about an entire movie of assassins? What if they were hunting each other down? Wouldn't that be a movie you'd line up to see? If so, your prayers have been answered with The Tournament which takes that wonderful idea, and runs to blood-and-explosions heaven with it. Directed by Scott Mann, The Tournament centers on a lethal contest that sees the world's finest assassins gather in an unsuspecting town, and try to kill each other off for a cash prize. Collateral damage and corpses abound. This year, one unlucky priest (Robert Carlyle) finds himself an unwilling contestant, and must kill or be killed. It also stars Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu, Ian Somerhalder, Scott Adkins, and Sebastien Foucan.
The trailer is below the jump, and was brought to our attention by our friends at Live for Films. Watch it, and revel in its sheer craziness. Plus, who doesn't love when priests are forced to handle weaponry? Unfortunately, The Tournament doesn't yet have a release date (there seem to be unfounded whispers of it going straight to DVD on October 20), but let's get some online buzz going so we can see it soon.

Jenna Jameson Teaches People 'How to Make Love'
Filed under: Comedy », Independent », Casting », Scripts », Cinematical Indie »
Remember that conversation in Chasing Amy between Alyssa and Banky? "So for you, to f--k means to penetrate. You're used to the more traditional definition. You, inside some girl you duped, jackhammering away, not noticing the bored look in her eyes." "Hey, I always notice that bored look in her eyes." Methinks Banky might have benefited from this new indie flick on the way, from Scott Culver, called How to Make Love to a Woman (written by Dennis Kao).With the help of Jenna Jameson, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Josh Meyers, Krysten Ritter, Ian Somerhalder, Eugene Byrd, and Lindsay Richards will learn a little of that lovin' style. The film will focus on Meyers, who plays a "music executive with no idea how to satisfy his girlfriend (Ritter)." He goes to his musician friends for advice (bands like Red Jumpsuit and Hellogoodbye appear in the film), and somehow is lucky enough to get advice from Jameson as well, but there's a problem in all this: his girlfriend's hot, childhood friend (Somerhalder) pops up. Byrd, meanwhile, will play Meyers' best friend.
Now the question becomes: Will the film just be funny, or will the real-life, unsatisfying lovers learn a thing or two?
Review: The Sensation of Sight
Filed under: Drama », Independent », Theatrical Reviews »
I had the chance to see The Sensation of Sight when it played the New Hampshire Film Festival last month in Portsmouth, NH where it won the award for Best Feature Film. We don't get a lot of films shot here in the Granite State, particularly ones with relatively high profile stars like David Strathairn (The Bourne Ultimatum, Goodnight and Good Luck) and Ian Somerhalder (probably best known for his work on ABC's Lost) so there's been some local buzz about this one ever since it wrapped production a few years back.
The tagline on the poster is "When life becomes a second language..." The film's promotional materials describe Strathairn's character Fin as undergoing a mid-life crisis, but he's better described as a man who has been crippled by despair. Fin is a high school teacher who, in the wake of a tragedy involving a student for which he feels responsible, leaves his wife and son and moves into a boarding house. He spends his days walking around his small picturesque New England town, pulling a Radio Flyer wagon that carries the encyclopedias he tries to sell to the townspeople. "I didn't know they did that anymore," remarks one character about Fin's new vocation. "I don't think they do," he replies. More importantly, he only appears to have the one set of books (whose origin becomes important late in the film) and the whole process seems to be a sad desperate attempt to give meaning to a life he no longer understands..
