Fun Trailer for Indie Filmmaking Comedy ‘The Last Movie Ever Made’

"The world ends in 15 days. They have 14 days to finish their movie." Lights, camera – action! Good Deed Ent. has revealed an official trailer for the indie comedy film titled The Last Movie Ever Made, made by Arizona-based filmmaker Nathan Blackwell. It originally premiered at the 2023 Phoenix Film Festival and it also played at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival last year. With the world about to end, Marshall convinces a group of friends and strangers to help finish the sci-fi movie he abandoned in high school. He must quickly rekindle old relationships, forge new ones, and lock down some decent equipment (and some costumes) if he has any hope of completing the long-lost epic. Fun times! Starring Adam Rini, Megan Hughes Rini, Craig Curtis, Dallas Teat, & Logan Blackwell. A nice meta riff on what it's like to be a filmmaker with the constant desire to create something amazing. This is stuffed with kooky, low budget charm - check it out. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Nathan Blackwell's The Last Movie Ever Made, from YouTube: When Marshall (starring ...

Watch: Alex Goddard’s Amusing ‘Learning to Skateboard at 40’ Short

"It's completely secluded. You can skate with no shame here." How many people tried skateboarding when they were a kid? And how many gave up quickly after trying? Has this kind of "giving up" mentality come to haunt you the rest of your life? What is worth giving up and what isn't? How to decide? So many existential questions come to mind while watching this fun short film. Learning to Skateboard at 40 is a new short (under 8 minutes!!) made by filmmaker Alex Goddard from Brighton. It's not really a documentary, per se, it's more of an amusing narrative film reflecting on life and getting older and not giving up. Starring Alex Goddard, Chris Sav, Barney Taylor, Lucy Jordan. This is one of those shorts you have to click [play] on and trust you'll be off on an unforgettable adventure. This adventure is, uh, well - trying to skate at 40 years old. Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this one. Brief intro to this short from Vimeo: "Alex decides to learn how to Skateboard." That's it. ...

"It will double the size of your heart." Oh yes it will! Neon has finally unveiled the official US trailer for the beloved animated film Robot Dreams, made by director Pablo Berger, which first premiered at the 2023 Cannes and Annecy Film Festivals. The film snuck in and ended up getting nominated for Best Animated Film at the 2024 Academy Awards (after a small qualifying theatrical release in the US last fall). Neon has finally scheduled Robot Dreams to open in US theaters on May 31st - so if you've been waiting to watch it, not too much longer now. A story about friendship, its importance, and its fragility.

I wrote a glowing review of this out of Cannes and I'm happy to keep mentioning it so more ...

"Are you having a good time?" Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the first official trailer for Blink Twice, a mystery thriller marking the feature directorial debut of actress Zoë Kravitz. She's co-writing & directing in collaboration with another writer from the "High Fidelity" series she starred on recently. It's opening in theaters in August. "This summer, make some memories." Naomi Ackie stars as Frida is a young waitress in Los Angeles who has her eye on tech entrepreneur Slater King. On a dream vacation to his private island, strange things start to happen. Frida will have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out alive. Uh oh... Co-starring Channing Tatum as Slater, along with Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, and Alia Shawkat. At first glance, this reminds me of Don't Worry Darling with many similarities, but it also seems like it has some nefarious twists in the vein of Spiderhead, which is also set on an island. It definitely seems like a creepy place to be! What do you ...

‘Infested’ Will Get Under Your Skin

Spiders are the new sharks. Genre directors can’t get enough of the creepy crawlers. Can you blame them? We’ve all been grossed out by larger-than-expected spiders sneaking into our bedrooms. They drop in like Ethan Hunt in “Mission: Impossible,” dangling overhead on invisible strands. “Infested” is never that demure. It delivers softball-sized spiders and the …
