Official Trailer for Wacky Comedy ‘Free LSD’ from Rock Band OFF!

"A band on a mission. A door to another dimension." Buffalo 8 has launched the official trailer for a rock comedy called Free LSD, which is not really abut How To Get Free LSD, unfortunately. This wacky, weird punk creation is from a a rock band called OFF!, and it's the feature directorial debut from one of the band members - Dimitri Coats (ex-Burning Brides). Alas they are taking an "indefinite hiatus" after a few shows coming up this month. The "breaking up" tour with the band will also include screenings of this film Free LSD showing with a Q&A and other surprises (before it hits VOD). "Sometimes putting the band together is a matter of life and death." This new film is an oddball sci-fi comedy about AI & multiverses. An elderly sex shop owner’s attraction to a younger woman leads him to an erectile dysfunction doctor whose treatment reveals an alluring but treacherous alternate reality. It features an ensemble cast with Keith Morris, Dimitri Coats, Autry Fulbright II, DH Peligro, Chelsea Debo, David Yow, James Duval, Barry Del ...

KVIFF 2024: Barns-Graham Doc ‘A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things’

Joining the ranks of films about great artists who have been forgotten and deserve to be rediscovered is A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things, the latest documentary film made by the cinepahile doc filmmaker Mark Cousins (best known for his films The Eyes of Orson Welles, I Am Belfast, The Story of Film: An Odyssey). This new film is a unique and captivating look at the life of a Scottish artist named Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, who preferred to be called Willie for most of her life. It premiered at the 2024 Karlovy Vary Film Festival where it won the top prize - the Crystal Globe Grand Prix as chosen by the fest's jury. In all honesty, it would not have been my personal pick from the competition (I prefer Loveable over this one) but this win will give it a chance to gain extra attention and, above all else, allow more people to learn about Willie. As is usual with Mark Cousins' films, he narrates the story and integrates himself into the narrative in order to tell the story of some ...

Exciting First Teaser for Kosinski’s Racing Movie ‘F1’ Starring Brad Pitt

"We need to build our car for combat." "How am I supposed to make that safe?" "Who said anything about 'safe?'" Apple TV + Warner Bros have launched the first look teaser trailer for the new F1 movie, directed by Joe Kosinski (of Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, Top Gun: Maverick). This first trailer debuted during the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race today - with the movie set for release in the summer of 2025 next year. This is a massive production (following Kosinski's Top Gun being a massive hit), with reports saying the budget has risen up to $300 million, including filming during actual real F1 races with Brad Pitt and the cast walking on the raceway. F1 is about a famous Formula One driver who, after a horrific crash years ago, comes out of retirement to mentor and team with a younger driver - played by Damson Idris. (So, this is pretty much Top Gun: Maverick again but with cars?) F1 stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, with Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Javier Bardem, Sarah Niles, plus Lewis ...
