A forest, a symbol, a dream of humanity. Fire up this fantastic French sci-fi short film titled The Edge, from director Simon Saulnier. After playing at film festivals throughout 2015 and 2016, the short has finally arrived online. The Edge is a contained sci-fi story following the journey of a young girl tracking down the thieves who stole from her something she cares about. It runs about 13 minutes, but is worth watching for the impressive attention to detail and the compelling, mysterious story of a renegade woman. The score by Alex Cortès (Eden Log, Martyrs, Arès) is also stellar. This might be one of the best shorts we'll see this year. Short description for The Edge from Vimeo: "In a close future, in a forest where reigns anarchy, a young girl launches a journey to track down the thieves who took her what she care the most." The Edge is directed by French filmmaker Simon Saulnier,...

- Screen Anarchy
The Cannes Film festival was an exceptional edition for French films this year. A focus on the rising generation of French actors and directors that have been highlighted in Cannes and will most certainly be the stars of tomorrow was compiled by Unifrance chief Isabelle Giordano.
They are a force to be reckoned with. Unifrance films is ready to bet that you will certainly hear about these ten talented people. They represent the French cinema of today and will soon be on the screens worldwide.
Emmanuelle Bercot
An actress and a director, Emmanuelle Bercot began by enrolling at the Cours Florent drama school and taking dancing lessons after her baccalaureate. She graduated from Femis in 1998, after winning the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival for her short film "Les Vacances," in 1997. After her first few roles in the films of Jean-François Richet and Michel Deville, her career as an actress took off when Claude Miller gave her one of the main roles in "La Classe de neige" (1998). The following year, she made the headlines with the medium-length film she directed called "La Puce," presented in the selection of Un Certain Regard at Cannes. This film tells of the love affair between a 35-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl, played by Isild Le Besco.
Her first feature-length film, "Clément" (2001), is about the life of a troubled woman who has one adventure after another with various men until she meets a 14-yearold boy. Her second film, "Backstage" (2004), continues to explore teenage angst through a relationship between a hit singer and a young obsessional fan. She earned her first critical and public acclaim with "On My Way" (2013), the third film written by the director for Catherine Deneuve, in which the star plays a woman who has decided to leave everything behind and hit the road in France.
She was indisputably the most talked about person during the Cannes Film Festival 2015, both as an actress and a director. Thierry Frémaux surprised everyone by announcing that "Standing Tall," Emmanuelle Bercot’s fourth feature-length film would open the 68th Cannes Film Festival. Emmanuelle Bercot says that she has rediscovered the social fiber of her beginnings with this tale of juvenile delinquency. After the enthusiastic and unanimous reception of her film, she won the Best Actress Award for her role as a woman under the influence of love in the film "Mon Roi" by Maïwenn, with whom she co-wrote the script for "Polisse," which won the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012
Thomas Bidegain
Thomas Bidegain may well be one of the best known French screenwriters in the profession today, but it took him ten years to achieve this status. His career path in film is anything but ordinary. He started out in the 1990s by distributing and producing independent American films: "Ice Storm" by Ang Lee and "Chasing Sleep" by Michael Walker. He came back to France and joined MK2 where he became director of distribution. In 1999, he returned to production for "Why Not." In 2007, he told the story of his attempt to stop smoking in "Arrêter de fumer tue," a personal diary that was turned into a documentary, then a book.
In the meantime, he began screenwriting and worked on several projects. In 2009, he wrote the screenplay for Jacques Audiard’s film, "A Prophet," alongside Nicolas Peufaillit and Abdel Raouf Dafri, which won the Grand Prix du Jury in 2009. He participated in Audiard’s next film, "Rust and Bone" and "Our Children" by Joachim Lafosse. He was also the co-writer for "Saint Laurent" by Bertrand Bonello. Winning a César for the best original script and a César for the best adaptation, he presented "Cowboys" at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in Cannes this year, his first film as a director. He is also co-writer of "Ni le ciel ni la terre" by Clément Cogitore, presented during the Semaine de la Critique, as well as co-writer of the script for Jacques Audiard’s latest film, "Dheepan," which won the Palme d’Or.
Louise Bourgoin
Louise Bourgoin attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts for five years, during which she began her career as a model. After she graduated from art school in 2004, she radically changed direction and became a presenter on cable TV. She was Miss Météo in Le Grand Journal on Canal + from 2006 to 2008. Her slot became essential viewing and attracted a wide audience, including the attention of the film industry.
She began her acting career in "The Girl from Monaco" by Anne Fontaine, and her performance earned her a César nomination for Most Promising Actress. This recognition led to a whole series of roles and launched her career in film. She headed the bill of several films in 2010 ("White as Snow" by Christophe Blanc, "Sweet Valentine" by Emma Luchini, and "Black Heaven" by Gilles Marchand). The same year, Luc Besson selected her for the leading role in "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec."
Since then, Louise Bourgoin has played in film after film, and has taken her first steps in the international scene with her part in the American film "The Love Punch" by Joel Hopkins. She attracted attention at the Cannes Film Festival this year with her unusual role in Laurent Larivière’s first film, "I Am a Soldier," presented at Un Certain Regard.
Anaïs Demoustier
Her passion for acting started at a very young age and rapidly pushed her to take drama classes. She auditioned, when still a teenager, and got her first role alongside Isabelle Huppert in "Time of the Wolf" by Michael Haneke. After this, her career was launched and she played in a series of films among which "L’Année suivante" by Isabelle Czajka, "Hellphone" by James Huth, "The Beautiful Person" by Christophe Honoré, "Sois sage" by Juliette Garcias, "Sweet Evil" by Olivier Coussemacq, "Dear Prudene" by Rebecca Zlotowski, "Snows of Kilimanjaro" by Robert Guédiguian, "Thérèse Desqueyroux" by Claude Miller, "Quai d’Orsay" by Bertrand Tavernier, "Paris Follies" by Marc Fitoussi, etc.
A filmography rich of 30 films for an actress who isn’t 30 years old yet. In 2014, the press talked about the blooming of Anaïs Demoustier because her face and poise became essential to cinema. Present in "Bird People" by Pascale Ferran, "Caprices" by Emmanuel Mouret, "À trois on y va" by Jérôme Bonnell and "The New Girlfriend" by François Ozon, she is Marguerite in the last Valérie Donzelli’s film, "Marguerite et Julien" screened in Official selection in Cannes.

He went onto study drama at the Conservatoire National d’Art Dramatique. He made his real cinema debut in 2001 in the film "Ceci est mon corps" by Rodolphe Marconi. Two years later, he played opposite Michael Pitt and the future Bond girl, Eva Green, in "The Dreamers" by Bernardo Bertolucci.
He then starred in another of his father’s films, "Regular Lovers". His performance earned him the César for the Most Promising Actor in 2005. Since then, he has played alongside the greatest, such as Isabelle Huppert in "Ma mère" by Christophe Honoré. This marked the beginning of a long collaboration between the filmmaker and the actor. They worked together in the film "In Paris" with Romain Duris, then in 2007 in "Love Songs" with Ludivine Sagnier, in "The Beautiful Person" with Léa Seydoux, in "Making Plans" for Lena with Chiara Mostroianni and, finally, in " Beloved" with Catherine Deneuve. He also topped the bill with Valéria Bruni Tedeschi in "Actresses," whom he worked with again in 2013 in "A Castle in Italy."
In 2010, he directed a short film, "The Little Tailor," in which he directed Léa Seydoux. He performed once again in one of his father’s films, "A Burning Hot Summer," followed by "Jealousy." In 2014, he starred in Bertrand Bonello’s film "Saint Laurent," a role which led to another César nomination, but this time in the best supporting role category. His first feature-length film, "Two Friends," presented at a Certain Regard, was applauded by the critics. He also starred in "Mon Roi," Maïwenn’s fourth feature-length film, alongside Emmanuelle and Vincent Cassel, presented as part of the official selection.
Guillaume Gouix
After studying at the Conservatoire in Marseille and the Ecole Régionale d’Acteur de Cannes, Guillaume Gouix began his career in television. He played the male lead in "The Lion Cubs," by Claire Doyon, in 2003. Noted for his performance, especially the highly physical aspect of it and his intense gaze, he then played a series of supporting roles as a young hoodlum in "Les Mauvais joueurs" by Frédéric Balekdjian and in "Chacun sa nuit," by Jean-Marc Barr and Pascal Arnold. He featured in the 2007 war film "Intimate Enemies" by Florent Emilio Siri, thus confirming his taste for complex characters.
The following year, he was applauded for his performance in the film "Behind the Walls" by Christian Faure. In 2010, he starred in "22 Bullets" by Richard Berry and in 2011, he established his reputation with roles in "Nobody Else But You" by Gérald Hustache-Mathieu, "Et soudain, tout le monde me manque" by Jennifer Devoldere, and "Jimmy Rivière," Teddy Lussi-Modeste’s film debut.

He also directed his first short film "Alexis Ivanovitch, vous êtes mon héros" in 2011 and will soon start on a feature-length film, which is currently being written. He will be topping the bill in 2015 with "Braqueurs," a thriller by Julien Leclercq.
Ariane Labed
Born in Greece to French parents, Ariane Labed has always navigated between her two countries. She studied drama at the University of Provence and began her acting career treading the boards. After setting up a company combining dance and theater, Ariane Labed returned to live in Greece where she played at the National Theater of Athens. 2010 was the year of her first film, "Attenberg," directed by Athiná-Rachél Tsangári. "Alps" by Yorgos Lanthi-mos, the following year, confirmed the talent of this strangely charming actress. Two years later, she starred in "Before Midnight" by Richard Linklater where she played the role of Anna. The follow-up to "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset," this third part of the saga was a great success, making Labed known to a wider audience.
In 2014, she played a young sailor in "Fidelio, Alice’s Odyssey," who is torn between faithfulness and her desire to live her life. Winning the best actress award at the Locarno Film Festival and nominated for a César, the French actress gives a brilliant performance in Lucie Borleteau’s first feature-length film. She joined Yorgos Lanthimos in Cannes in 2015, where he won the Prix du Jury for his film "The Lobster."
Vincent Macaigne
Vincent Macaigne is the leading light in young French cinema. He joined the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris in 1999, appearing on stage and assuming the role of director. His free adaptations of the great classics of literature and drama earned him public and critical acclaim. He directed "The Idiot" by Dostoïevski and presented "Au moins j’aurai laissé un beau cadavre in Avignon," inspired by Hamlet. He also rapidly made a name for himself in demanding art-house films. In 2001, he was seen for the first time in "Replay" by Catherine Corsini. In 2007, he starred in "On War" by Bertrand Bonello and in 2010, in "A Burning Hot Summer" by Philippe Garrel.
Since 2011, Vincent Macaigne’s presence in short, medium and full-length films has gradually increased. Faithful to his directors, he has starred in several of their films. As is the case with his friend Guillaume Brac, who directed him in "Le Naufragé," "Tonnerre" and "Un monde sans femmes." He was awarded the Grand Prix and the Prix Télérama at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and the Prix Lutin for Best Actor in this film. Under the direction of Vincent Mariette, he played in "Les Lézards" then "Fool Circle." In 2013, we find the funny and touching thirty-something in "La fille du 14 juillet" by Antonin Peretjatko, "Age of Panic" by Justine Triet, and "2 Autumns, 3 Winters" by Sébastien Betbeder.
He was discovered by the general public at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Considered a figurehead of the revival of French cinema, Vincent has drawn the attention of the Cahiers du Cinéma, and even the British newspaper The Observer, which referred to him as the “new Gérard Depardieu”. In 2011, he directed "What We’ll Leave Behind," a very well-received medium-length film which won the Grand Prix at the Clermont-Ferrand Festival. He also starred in Mia Hansen-løve’s 2014 film "Eden." He plays one of the main roles in the actor Louis Garrel’s first feature-length film, "Two Friends," presented during the Semaine de la Critique. He also featured in his 2011 film, La Règle de trois.
Vimala Pons
From the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique, where she attended drama classes even though she wanted to be a screenwriter, to circus tents, Vimala Pons is an acrobat in all senses of the word. The 29-year-old actress has established her physical and poetic presence in French art-house films. She began her career in film with Albert Dupontel in "Enfermés dehors" in 2006. She then starred in "Eden Log" by Franck Vestiel in 2007, then in "Granny’s Funeral" by Bruno Podalydès in 2012.
Since then, we have seen her cross France in a little blue dress in "La Fille du 14 juillet," (she plays the girl) by Antonin Peretjatko, and changing into a lioness in "Métamorphoses," by Christophe Honoré. The impetuous muse of French independent film, Vimala Pons played in "Vincent" by Thomas Salvador this year.

She has also begun an international career, with a leading role in Paul Verhoeven’s latest film, "Elle."
Alice Winocour
The director Alice Winocour started out at Femis. After going into law, she returned to film and won three prizes for her short film "Kitchen: Prix TV5" for the best French-language short film, best international short film and the Silver Bear at the Festival of Nations (Ebensee). For "Magic Paris," she was awarded the jury prize at the St. Petersburg International Documentary, Short Film and Animated Film Festival.
She continued her career by writing the script for the film "Ordinary," by Vladimir Perisic. At the Cannes Film Festival 2012, Alice Winocour made a marked entry in the international arena with a film by a woman about women and the unchanging way of looking at them. In the film "Augustine," we are told the story of a professor and his patient, played by Vincent Lindon and Soko respectively.

She is also the co-writer of "Mustang," by Denis Gamze Ergüven, presented at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs.

She has also begun an international career, with a leading role in Paul Verhoeven’s latest film, "Elle."
Alice Winocour
The director Alice Winocour started out at Femis. After going into law, she returned to film and won three prizes for her short film "Kitchen: Prix TV5" for the best French-language short film, best international short film and the Silver Bear at the Festival of Nations (Ebensee). For "Magic Paris," she was awarded the jury prize at the St. Petersburg International Documentary, Short Film and Animated Film Festival.
She continued her career by writing the script for the film "Ordinary," by Vladimir Perisic. At the Cannes Film Festival 2012, Alice Winocour made a marked entry in the international arena with a film by a woman about women and the unchanging way of looking at them. In the film "Augustine," we are told the story of a professor and his patient, played by Vincent Lindon and Soko respectively. In 2015, she brought out her second feature-length film, "Maryland," which was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 68th Cannes Film Festival. She is also the co-writer of "Mustang," by Denis Gamze Ergüven, presented at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs.

Tiff’s Midnight Madness program turned 25 this year, and for two and half decades, the hardworking programers have gathered some of the strangest, most terrifying, wild, intriguing and downright entertaining films from around the world. From dark comedies to Japanese gore-fests and indie horror gems, the Midnight Madness program hasn’t lost its edge as one the leading showcases of genre cinema. In its 25-year history, Midnight Madness has introduced adventurous late-night moviegoers to such cult faves as Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. But what separates Midnight Madness from, say, Montreal’s three and half week long genre festival Fantasia, is that Tiff selects only ten films to make the cut. In other words, these programmers don’t mess around. Last week I decided that I would post reviews of my personal favourite films that screened in past years. And just like the Tiff programmers,...

In September 1997, my first year covering the Toronto Film Festival as an earnest young accredited journalist, I wrote the following: "I'm not sure how many years it has been going on, but one of the most enjoyable things that I've discovered at this year's festival are the 'Midnight Madness' screenings. The programmers have amassed an eclectic, diverse program ... this is the true spirit of the festival."
What I hadn't quite caught onto was that Midnight Madness, the Tiff showcase for the weird and the wonderful, had been going on for a decade by that point. Originally programmed by Noah Cowan (who would eventually become co-director of the Fest and is now the Artistic Director for Tiff's Bell Lightbox Theatre), this internationally renowned subsection of Tiff's film selection has grown under the steady hand of Colin Geddes, who started that same year I first discovered the programme's magic.

Punishing French horror picture Martyrs and Asian set erotic thriller Red Nights have one key element in common: The music of Seppuku Paradigm. Both films won raves for the group's scoring efforts but both have been difficult to come by. But now here's your chance.The full soundtracks for both films are being released on vinyl by Seventeen Records with the first 100 orders for either release also receiving a free 7" of the group's work on Franck Vestiel's Eden Log thrown in. Soundtrack junkies, get to it....

Among the films pegged for next year's Cannes is the already completed Love and Bruises. We collected some stills of Lou Ye's film which began filming three weeks after winning Best Actor and Best New Actor at the French Oscars for his role in A Prophet and ended in May. We found out that Ye was interested in Rahim taking the lead based on a photo of the actor and not the role that catapulted him to fame - Ye had yet to see the Jacques Audiard prison drama. Ye didn't switch up his brand of filmmaking - working with long takes and keeping the cameras rolling on Rahim and newbie actress Corinne Yam. Jalil Lespert (Human Resources) and Sifan Shao (Eden Log) also star, and I imagine that Hao Qin (who was in Ye's Spring Fever) might have grab a cameo role or was visiting the set for the...

At this point, many Twitch readers are undoubtedly familiar with the fact that Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud's Red Nights is premiering at this year's Midnight Madness program at Tiff. What may not be so well known is that Seppuku Paradigm -- the musicians who did the soundtracks for Martyrs and Eden Log -- scored Red Nights.
Seppuku Paradigm provided Twitch with a streaming version of the film's lush noirish theme. Midnight Madness programmer Colin Geddes describes Red Night as a "pulpy, fetishistic thriller." This music perfectly matches that description.

Disclaimer: These films are in no particular order and aren't all films I like. I wrote this post to be a companion piece to Kurt Halfyard's wonderful Brave New Worldview – 30 Science Fiction Films of the 21st Century posted over at Row Three, so read this and then piece it together with his and we think you'll have a pretty comprehensive list of important genre stuff from the new millennium to catch up with.

Congratulations, Eden Log. You’re no longer the least pleasant thing that I have reviewed for this site.
For those of you who were clamoring for an animated revamp (Sequel? Reimagining? I’m not really sure) of the 1987 cult hit Spaceballs, I can only say that you’ve gotten what you deserve. I doubt that I’m offending anybody by saying that, because I’ve never even heard anyone request so much as the promised Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money. Don’t get me wrong; I love Spaceballs, but saying that what I just watched is Spaceballs is like saying that Batman and Robin is Batman.
Taking place some time after the events of the film, this show reunites most of the characters from the film, being Dark Helmet (Dee Bradley Baker), President Skroob (Mel Brooks), Lone Star (Rino Romano), Barf (Tino Insana), Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga), Dot...

[Editor's note: We usually don't post reviews this long after a film's domestic release but since Pandorum is being criminally underrated by mainstream critics and is getting a staggered release across the rest of the world, we're making an exception]
Pandorum is a lean, mean terror machine of a movie that goes right for the jugular and never lets up for a single minute. It's a tense, claustrophobic nightmare vision wrapped in a scifi disguise that's sometimes illogical but always thrilling. More importantly though, it's the perfect escape from this never-ending cycle of teen slashers, 80s retreads and zombie / vampire overload (yes, I chose to see this over Zombieland).
If Pandorum was called "Avp: Pandorum," or "Resident Evil: Pandorum," critics would be falling all over themselves to praise Alvart for his economy of style and storytelling, declaring the film an instant win and return to form for the franchises. But since there isn't an established brand attached to the it, most critics seem to be at a loss, quick to damn it...

Returning to the office after catching an early morning screening of Pandorum (the film wasn’t previewed for critics), I was asked by a Fangoria colleague what I thought of the movie. My initial and immediate response was, “It starts off Ok, but it reminded me of Eden Log and Event Horizon. And about halfway through, it loses steam and I lost interest. It goes on too long, and the running time doesn’t really support the mysteries, most of which I saw coming ahead of time. Also, I didn’t really care for the directing style, all those crazy cuts and that frenzied camerawork. It’s directed like a Resident Evil film.” “Oh, you didn’t know?” my co-worker responded. “It’s produced by the same people who did the Resident EVILs.”
Ah-ha! That explains a lot. It also explains why I accidentally mistook lead actress Antje Traue for Milla Jovovich.

The International (Sony) An Interpol agent (Clive Owen) joins forces with a Manhattan D.A. (Naomi Watts) to bring down an arms dealing ring and a corrupt global banking cartel that’s funding them. Superlative thriller was oddly ignored by critics and audiences alike, but expertly blends intelligence (courtesy screenwriter Eric Warren Singer’s masterfully-crafted script) and full-throttle action (director Tom Tykwer stages one of the great film shoot-outs in New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum), making this dynamite thriller reminiscent of the best work from masters such as John Frankenheimer and Robert Aldrich. Armin Mueller-Stahl is wonderful as a world-weary covert op. Bonuses: Extended scene; Featurettes; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.

Each Tuesday (beginning tomorrow, June 2), Starlog will post information on genre titles being released (or re-released) on DVD and Blu-ray that day. Meanwhile, we’re testing out the idea. Here’s what’s in stores Now, having emerged two weeks ago.
DVD & Blu-ray Releases for May 19, 2009
*Note: Clickable links will go to Amazon.com, where you can usually buy each title at a far better price than the listed Msrp.
Batman (Warner Home Video, Blu-ray, $34.99): Before Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, Michael Keaton was Gotham’s Dark Knight and Jack Nicholson wreaked havoc as the Joker in Tim Burton’s 1989 film. Starlog visited the set of that original movie—and since that 20-year-old issue is long sold out (or burnt up in our warehouse fire), maybe that’s a cover story we’ll post here soon.
A Bug’S Life (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, $39.99): Have you seen Up?...

Science-fiction serves as a vehicle for telling parables about modern problems without sounding preachy. A common theme (used in Resident Evil, Serenity, etc.) which seems to pervade science-based zombie films comes down to “don’t mess with nature”. In Resident Evil, mass experimentation with genetics and pharmaceuticals leads to a planet-wide epidemic turning all living things into monstrous mutants. The government terra-forming ventures in Serenity go terribly wrong creating mindless, cannibalistic Reavers who terrorize ships in a vast strip of space. Eden Log follows a similar route which plays well in the “energy-crazed” culture of today; seeking to generate power for a city, a corporation taps into an enormous tree only to find its employees transforming into disfigured mutants.
An unnamed man (Clovis Cornillac) wakes within a series of caverns to find cryptic messages, mutants and soldiers with no explanation for any of it. As he wanders through the dark expanses,...

Chicago – Welcome back to the Round-Up, a safety net to catch the DVD titles that fell off the mainstream tightrope. The titles this week have virtually nothing in common other than coming in two waves from two studios - a pair of classics from Paramount’s Centennial Collection and a trio of indie films from the great Magnolia Pictures.
All five titles were released on May 19th, 2009.
“Centennial Collection #8: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”
Photo credit: Paramount Synopsis: “”This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Behind the camera? John Ford, a director whose name is synonymous with “Westerns.” Gathered in front of it? An ideal cast – James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. Now presented on two discs, with all-new special features, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance rides into town as classic entry in the Paramount Centennial Collection.

I once spent a summer during which I watched about 250 films, and have been watching films steadily throughout the better part of my twenty-three year life. That may be pitiful to many of you (I know that there are many people who have bested whatever claims to film-watching glory I have made here), or you may think that I’ve all but totally wasted my life. But the point is, I’ve seen a lot. Not everything, but a lot. And I can state beyond the shadow of a doubt that Eden Log is in the bottom five five films I have ever seen in terms of watchability, coherence, and entertainment value. I hate this movie. I hate it.
The plot, as best as I could tell, involved a man (Clovis Cornillac) waking up in the middle of a cave, breathing heavily into the soundtrack in a way reminiscent of...

A decent assortment of new DVDs in stores this week, from My Bloody Valentine 3-D to the early surprise hit of the year, Paul Blart: Mall Cop (err... you'll have to look past those ones to get to the good stuff). The Tom Cruise Nazi thriller Valkyrie is in stores today, and might make a good double bill with Fritz Lang's 1941 film Man Hunt which is hitting DVD for the first time. Then there's Howard McCain's viking vs alien epic Outlander, which might make a good double bill with The Asylum's direct-to-video monster battle Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! The Star Wars comedy Fanboys is finally out on DVD (in the U.S. at least), along with the first season of True Blood and the seventh season of 24. See anything worth picking up?

This week probably stacks up as the best for new releases this year - especially considering the range of different titles and genres available - so there should be something for everyone in this edition. As always, check out our “pick of the week” and links to all of the new releases below.
First up, we have a spectacular 6 disc “Terminator 2 Limited Edition Complete Collector’s Set in an Endoskull”, which is by far the most extravagant and innovative release on this format so far. It contains every version of the film you could want, and more special features than you can shake a T-1000 at. And the Endoskull looks Fantastic. Bear in mind, this is a limited release and no one is sure whether further copies of the set will be issued, so you might want to snap one up quickly. There is also a far more affordable 2-disc “Skynet” edition of the film,...

An interesting array of genre titles hit home video this week including the long awaited release of Howard McCain's outrageous Vikings vs. Alien flick, Outlander, coming from Weinstein Company. The theatrical mis-treatment of this film caused a bit of a fanboy furor so it'll be interesting to see how well it does on home video.
Speaking of fanboys, Kyle Newman's loving ode to the Star Wars generation, Fanboys, which is also arriving courtesy of Weinstein Company, drops today. Loaded with inside jokes that only someone with too many 12 inch action figures would truly find endearing, Fanboys may not have been the comedy of the year, but it sure took me back to 1999 when, as a complete Star Wars freak, there was only one film that really mattered.

They claim that Seppuku Paradigm did the score for the harsh-as-hell horror flick, Martyrs (now on DVD -- beware the Blockbuster cut!), but I don't remember hearing any music... just Scott Weinberg screaming and squealing and squirming about when we saw it at Fantastic Fest last year. It was pretty much like watching The Love Guru with him all over again.
Well, those handy-dandy fellas over at Twitch say that the film's composers, Alex and Willie Cortés, have made their score for the film freely available online. In fact, their only other score -- for the unseen-by-me sci-fi mystery Eden Log -- has Also been made available to all. It's a veritable festivus for soundtrack junkies!
And why? Hell if I can tell, though tempted as one may be to throw around the phrase 'economic generosity' these days, I won't. Maybe these are just two cool guys who made two...

What could end up following in the footsteps of Inside, Martyrs, Eden Log and Ils is the French horror film Mutants, which we've been covering for what feels like years here on B-d. Today we're excited to bring you the first teaser trailer for the film, which can be viewed beyond the break, courtesy of Twitch Film. David Morlet's film tracks a young couple caught in the midst of a viral outbreak that transforms the nation into a swarm of bloodthirsty mutants. Written by David Morlet and Louis-Paul Desanges, the film stars Hélène de Fougerolles and Francis Renaud. There are also a few stills available by clicking the title.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Hugh Jackman returns to the role of the adamantium-clawed Wolverine. I loved the first two X-Men features and even kind of liked the third one, but the idea of Wolvie going solo without the rest of Xavier's crew leaves me kind of cold. Start sharpening your claws for a May 1 release.
Eden Log
The trailer for this French film is delightfully vague. Apparently the movie portrays a bleak future set in a subterranean world. I'm not real clear on the details, but the imagery is fascinating. This one goes into limited release in February.
I Love You, Man
Paul Rudd plays a man about to get married, but finds himself without male friends and in need of a best man. Soon he's good pals with Sydney (Jason Segel), but his relationship with his fiance begins to suffer. Both of these actors have made me laugh before, but...

In keeping with the holiday spirit, this week's Wrap-Up is being delivered in verse a la The Twelve Days of Christmas. If anyone else wants to throw out some ideas for The Eight Nights of Chanukah or The Seven Days of Kwanzaa in the comments section below, feel free. And let's not forgot about the winter solstice. While some complain about it being the shortest day of the year, horror fans appreciate the other side of the coin -- the longest night. With so much to celebrate, let's get cooking!
From December 13-19, 2008,
My true love sent to me,
Twelve pairs of 3D glasses (the better to watch the new My Bloody Valentine 3D trailer),
Eleven needless remakes of foreign films hardly anyone's even seen yet (Danish thriller Mørke (Murk) is the most recent casualty of this craze),
Ten long months to wait before we finally get to see The Wolfman...

Heading to U.S. screens courtesy of the Six Shooters series (which brought us "Timecrimes"), "Eden Log" stacks up as a solid French sci-fi horror film. A man wakes up deep inside a cave. Suffering amnesia, he has no recollection of how he came to be here or of what happened to the man whose body he finds beside him. Tailed by a mysterious creature, he must continue through this strange and fantastic world. Enclosed, Tolbiac has no other option to reach the surface than to use Rezo Zero, secret observing cells in this cemetery-like abandoned mine.

The official Us trailer for the French sci-fi flick Eden Log has popped up online today courtesy of IGN. I first heard about this film a year or so ago but it only started appearing in North America this year. It first played at the Toronto Film Festival then at Fantastic Fest and unfortunately I missed all of its screenings at both fests. I don't know how to describe this nor can I even explain what's going on in it - it looks like some sort of dark, intimate, horror film set in a sci-fi tinged future. Does it look good? Possibly, in a twisted way, so I guess I'll have to see it to figure that out. At least it'll be a unique experience, that's for sure. Watch the trailer for Franck Vestiel's Eden Log: [flv:http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/edenlog_trl_qthighwide.flv http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/edenlog_trl_qthighwide.jpg 598 336] A man wakes up naked, deep in a dark cave.

Not to be confused with Eden Log, which is a complete different kind of film, we just got our hands on an exclusive clip from Eden Lake, which Dimension Extreme are putting on DVD on January 6th!
The film is about a couple who are just trying to have a tranquil weekend on the shores of the titular body of water. Their calm is shattered, however, when a gang of local kids shows up and makes their lives hell. What starts off as simply annoying soon turns to terrifying as the teens ramp up their violence and the couple start to fight back.

Okay boys and girls ... Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore’s film Special is one we’ve shown a lot of love to in these pages over the past couple years and for very good reason: it deserves a lot of love. The quirky indie comedy starring Michael Rapaport as a clinically depressed man convinced that he is developing super powers has been stuck in distribution limbo for a couple years now but thanks to the good folk at Magnet and their Six Shooter Films series you can finally see what we’ve been talking about when it begins its limited theatrical run (also available on VOD) today. And to celebrate we’ve got a little something to give away to you lot: an original Special one sheet signed by Haberman, Passmore and Rapaport!

Magnolia Pictures gave Fango the word that it will make Jennifer Lynch’s Surveillance (pictured) available for theatrical viewing June 26. Exact cities and venues for the limited release, under the Magnet Releasing banner, have yet to be determined.
Written and directed by Lynch (daughter of David), Surveillance stars Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond as FBI agents who arrive in a small Midwestern town to interview multiple witnesses to a bloody, horrific roadside crime. As each party offers their version of the events, the horrifying truth about what happened becomes clear to both the agents and the audience. The distributor also let us know that it has flipped the schedule for two of the genre pictures opening as part of its 6-Shooter Film Series; Olly Blackburn’s Donkey Punch now debuts January 23 in New York, with Franck Vestiel’s Eden Log arriving in February. As for the other 6-Shooter genre titles,...

Finally a film festival near me, and it actually has some flicks I've been looking forward to seeing, but first off, I'm in Northern Colorado, so if you're going to Dff and would like to meet up, talk genre film, or just rip on Hollywood crap, drop me a line via our contact link at the bottom of the page. Dff runs November 13-23 at the Starz film center in Denver which is one of the only places which plays real films (I go there to do reviews of limited theatrical release stuff).
Of the highlights which include a bunch of dreary Cannes dramas, the one I would recommend most would be David Prior's Lovecraftian horror short AM1200. I just saw it this past Friday and it's nothing short of fantastic. Next we have something I want to warn people about, it's the French scifi flick Eden Log, it's incredibly cryptic and boring,...

Arriving in theaters this February from Magnet Releasing is Franck Vestiel's French sci-fi horror film, Eden Log, which is part of their ongoing Six-Shooter Series. In the stunning film, a man takes again conscience at the fine bottom of a cave. Tolbiac does not have the least idea of the reasons which brought it up to that point, not more than it does not know what arrived at the man of which it discovers the corpse beside him. Only solution to escape the creature which continues it: to go up to surface through a network with the paces of cemetery and given up by a mysterious organization, Eden Log.
