Shot on 35mm film and adapted from Marian Churchland’s stirring untitled graphic novella that was a part of the indie comic compilation “Meathaus S.O.S.,” Will Blank’s long-gestating — it was an IndieWire Project of the Day way back in 2015 — new short “Limbo” is a stunner that asks (and perhaps even answers) some big questions with the maximum of elegance and the minimum of time.
Directed by Blank and penned by the director and Richard Kaponas, the film stars “Riverdale” and “Looking” standout Raul Castillo alongside a magical dog (no, really) voiced by Hollywood legend Sam Elliott (currently enjoying a bit of a resurgence thanks to his recent role in “The Hero”). The film has screened at a number of festivals, including Fantasia, Fantastic Fest, and Toronto After Dark, and has even earned some famous fans along the way — including Guillermo del Toro, who billed it as an “excellent short.

More than one in seven Australians watch no commercial TV on a weekday ˜ twice the number as in 2008..
That looks set to increase in 2016, with TV watchers getting older and Svod only getting bigger, the latest data from Roy Morgan Research shows.
Seven years ago, only 6.9 percent of Australians aged 14+ watched no commercial TV on a normal weekday, with little difference between age groups..
That has since doubled to 14.9 percent, and the gap is widening between demographics, with 14-34 year-olds turning their backs en-masse.
In 2015, over one in five 25-34 year-olds watched no commercial TV, almost three times more than in 2008, while 18.8 percent of 14-24 year-olds don.t watch any commercial TV, up from 7 percent in 2008.
Older viewers are migrating from commercial television more slowly:.

Not only is Netflix creaming Stan and Presto, the Us streaming giant's Australian service is causing a decline in the legitimate downloads of movies and TV shows.
The latest Roy Morgan Research (Rmr) study shows 9.1 per cent of people surveyed downloaded a film or TV show in a 4 week period in April-September, compared with 10.8 per cent a year ago.

Australian video-on-demand and electronic-sell-through service EzyFlix.tv has shut down.
Launched two years ago by Access Digital Entertainment, the online retailer seems to be a victim of the burgeoning popularity of Netflix and other streaming services. In a notice posted on the EzyFlix website, Access Digital Entertainment said it had .decided to end the service offered on this site. If you have rented or purchased any movies or TV shows, these movies are no longer available on EzyFlix..
EzyFlix had licensing deals with all the major Hollywood studios except MGM and with Roadshow Entertainment and the ABC. It was competing with iTunes, Telstra.s BigPond Movies, Foxtel On Demand, Google Play and Fetch TV, which recently launched an electronic sell-through component. Unlike its Australian rivals, the service enabled consumers to buy and redeem UltraViolet-enabled titles, and it was the first to offer Digital HD.. Last December it discounted the price...

If you like wormy monsters, zombies, practical special effects, and hot babes in your horror movies then you'll want to watch the trailer for the new creature feature Parasitic and see what happens when a nightclub gets infected by an infectious space parasite that turns its victims into zombies.
After a strange meteor destroys a communications satellite and crashes into Tampa Bay, a sickly looking fish finds itself the meal of a beautiful nightclub bartender named Val. Moments later, as the bar is closed and locked tight, the infected Val becomes ill and all Hell breaks loose. Hidden from the others, the parasite she has unknowingly eaten rapidly grows, bursting from her throat and becoming the puppet master for the chaos ahead. With no possible way to reach help or escape, the trapped club-goers must fight to survive and plan to destroy the creature before it is let loose into the world.

I’m always down for a cheesy monster movie, particularly those which involve an alien species wreaking havoc on a group of attractive human beings. Enter veteran FX wizard Tim Martin’s upcoming splatterfest “Parasitic”, a motion picture that promises plenty of the aforementioned cinematic elements. Once thine eyes have properly consumed the embedded video, you’ll understand why Martin’s skills landed him effects duties on the forthcoming prequel to “The Thing”. Regardless of what you think of the trailer, you have to admit that the guy has talent when it comes to creature creation. Thanks to Twitch for the head’s up.

Straight up, it is great to have good old practical effects in a film. That's the latex part. It is also good to have beautiful women in your film. That's the chauvinistic breasts part. Combine the two and you're bound to have a good time.
Director Timothy Martin cut his teeth working at Stan Winston Studio and Amalgamated Dynamics, both respected and award winning effects houses, so he should know a thing or two about effects.

Burley Cross Postbox Theft by Nicola Barker, Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head by Rob Chapman and The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe
"What emerges is a vastly satisfying and adventurous novel, a state-of-the-nation comedy from a novelist who can do pretty much anything she likes and is having a great time doing it." So wrote Tim Martin in the Daily Telegraph of Burley Cross Postbox Theft, by Nicola Barker, "an even more purely comic work than her sprawling, much-acclaimed and periodically unhinged Darkmans (2007)," which "sets itself the task of revivifying the famously creaky and now largely neglected tradition of the epistolary novel". "Barker's knack for skewering the mores of the chattering classes remains strong, and a number of sparkling comic set-pieces stand out," contended Nick Garrard in the Independent on Sunday. "However, there is the nagging feeling throughout that Barker is coasting.

Revision3 continued is aggressive addition of shows today with the re-launch of LandlineTV, bringing the popular YouTube partners over to its online network. The Brooklyn-based sketch comedy series was one of YouTube's higher quality productions, often hitting topical subjects live blockbusters, TV shows, and sports with their signature satire. The group's most popular video—Transformers 2: CGI Megan Fox Even Hotter This Time—racked up over 5.3 million views on YouTube earlier this summer. Paul Briganti, Saj Pothiawala and Jared Neumark make up the core group of LandlineTV, all of which were able to quit their various day jobs to work on the show full time. A few months back the group was creating comedy ads for Regus shared office space that ended up shown in the back seat TV screens of NYC taxicabs and local movie theaters. Luckily enough, a Rev3 intern spotted one of those Regus ads and share them with the office,...
