Disney may be wholly evil, buying up company after company to bolster their own brand, but their acquisition of Indian media company UTV have bore fruit it this animated tail of India greates hero Arjun. Watch the trailer below. It may not get play outside of Indian but one can hope.

Juan of the Dead

I'm a fan of the zombie genre, I can't count how many times I sit around with friends talking about our plans for the zombie apocalypse. Up until now most films that depict the hordes of the undead lurching onward in thir never ending thirst for brains and guts have been from mostly an anglo point of view, director, locations, main hero. That changes with Juan Of The Dead. This movie looks like a blast featuring characters such as trans person, La China, (I hope they don't over play his transition and sexuality to much); the prerequisite best friend Lazaro played is Jorge Molina, who just happens to also be a director of film and at Professor at Havana’s Escuela Internacional de Cine y Television. I can't wait till I get a chance to see it. I missed it while it was playing at the Havava Film Festival , hopefully it come around again in some form.

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons

This is a gripping film about love in a family. A love that is dark and perverse and upon further research isn't quite as it seems. You won't turn away there is really a twist.

Aliens in the Hood

Ever wonder what would happen if aliens would attack the hood. The new brit film "Attack the Block" from the producers of "Shuan of the Dead" and "Scott Pilgrim VS. The World" features such an occurrence. As aliens invade the south London a young group of teens takes to defending their turf, the Block a huge project complex. It's reminiscent of various 80's movies staring a random group of kids doing random acts of heroism, its kitschy. I think it's the producers niche. I cant wait to see it, here's the trailer.
