The Tourist has Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp going for it, so there’s a good chance that anyone halfway inclined to spend money at the cinema will be turned on by this, though the spectre of Knight & Day’s box office failure might hanging over Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s film.

Variety brings news that the genre arm of US distribution company Magnolia Pictures have picked up the rights for new Korean monster movie Chawz (geddit?).

The latest from director Brad Anderson (The Machinist, Transsiberian) is a mediocre horror entry that has more in common with the murky hokiness of M. Night Shymalan than the body horror of David Cronenberg or David Lynch. Despite the best efforts of the excellent cast, who emote mightily, the very slight script doesn’t give them [...]
Winter’s Bone was the winner of the Sundance Grand Jury Dramatic award in 2010.
