Oksana Orlan (The Russian Bride) and Maurice Compte (Narcos) have teamed up to kick ass in action-thriller Dominique, set to make its Cannes market debut.

However, she soon finds herself in a town plagued with violence and corruption. Facing brutal attacks from the police and mafia, she must decide whether to protect herself or stay to help an innocent family.
“Bringing Dominique to life has been a massive undertaking and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Clay and the whole Film Mode family to introduce the film and our star,...

Exclusive: Distributor Syndicado has acquired worldwide rights to the acclaimed Covid-themed documentary The Curve: 90 Days That Changed America, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Adam Benzine.
Distinguished by an innovative use of “VFX, archival footage, news coverage and original interviews,” the film examines the catastrophically bad decisions made by the Trump administration as the coronavirus initially spread throughout the United States. Within a period of months, the U.S. went from having no cases of the disease to becoming the Covid epicenter.
“I’ve shied away from acquiring any Covid-related films, whether docs or drama,” Syndicado President Greg Rubidge said in a statement, “until I saw The Curve. Adam’s doc hooked me in its first five minutes, playing out more as an investigative thriller that weaves its unfolding timeline through the political dismissal and mismanagement of the pandemic.

Happy Friday the 13th, Campers! It’s time to talk about the high water mark of the Friday the 13th saga, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), the action-packed fourth entry that was decidedly not the final chapter of this twelve-part (so far) series. Reader beware: this review is not devoid of spoilers, though this writer tries to maintain a few surprises for the uninitiated.
After Friday the 13th: Part III (1982) took terror into the third dimension, Final Chapter was able to capitalize on the best elements of its predecessors while smoothing out some of their storytelling hiccups. Final Chapter ports over the basic setup of Friday the 13th: Part II (1981) and Part III: Tormented former New Jersey summer camp attendee Jason Voorhees (Ted White this time around), wreaks belated vengeance on the same camp’s next generation of counselors. In the original Friday the 13th (1980), a surprising different...

“I hope James Mattis sees this film,” says Michael Epstein, director of House 2, a feature doc about the Haditha massacre and the subsequent criminal investigation, which was the most expensive in Marine history. “I hope he realizes truly how fucked up it is and goes in and fixes it. Now as Secretary of Defense, he’s in a position to something, he can find out what really happened and hopefully he really will.”
House 2 tells the story of a criminal defense attorney and an NCIS special agent turned whistleblower who seek to exonerate a Marine charged with 18 counts of murder in Haditha, Iraq, and, in so doing, uncover the truth about one of the furthest-reaching cover-ups in U.S. military history.
The documentary, which is playing at the Tribeca Film Festival, saw Epstein join the defense team of Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, one of eight Marines charged in a civilian...

Famous for its red buses, red post boxes and red telephone kiosks (seriously, what’s with all the red?), London is arguably the most amazing city in the world (it might also be the most expensive city – aye? Aye?). Factor in some of the most iconic landmarks this side of Tower Bridge (but not the Millennium Dome), an underground system that residents love to praise and bad mouth in equal measure, and a population of human beings who are legitimately content not to talk to strangers at any point, ever, and you’re really looking at a place that is so unlike any other.
Londoners are famous, of course, for strolling through the streets at the crack of dawn, singing songs like “Maybe It’s Because I’m a Londoner” or “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” complete with cockney accent. Or, at least, that’s what they should be famous for (what gives,...

Coming out of this year's Sundance Film Festival, one of the stories people seemed most eager to tell was how they cried their little hearts out [1] after seeing Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey. The documentary, directed by Constance Marks, is about Kevin Clash, the man behind the famous Sesame Street character Elmo. It simultaneously tells the tale of how he was [2] able to turn his unique dream - to be a puppeteer - into reality while also chronicling the rise of Jim Henson and the Muppets. It was Peter's favorite film [3] at Sundance this year and now it's finally being released. Being Elmo will open in New York on October 21 and then begin expanding on November 4. After the jump, see what date it's coming to your city and watch a video blog reaction to the film. Here's a video blog that Peter and David recorded after seeing Being Elmo at...
