Fantastic Fest Review: Yatterman
Fantastic Fest By Brian Salisbury on October 7, 2009 | Comments (3)If there is any kind of common thread in the work of Takashi Miike, it would have to be that they are all either just a little or, in some cases, immensely loony. Enter Yatterman, a superhero’s tale…
Fantastic Fest Review: Kaifeck Murder
Fantastic Fest By Brian Salisbury on October 6, 2009 | Comments (3)Kaifeck Murder is a film no one was talking about and I therefore had no concept of what to expect. What I got was a great little film that I may never see again; hopefully I’m wrong.
Fantastic Fest Review: Love Exposure
Fantastic Fest By Cole Abaius on October 6, 2009 | Comments (5)Watching a 4-hour long movie may seem daunting, but it’s an incredible reward when the flick involves love, religion, cults, bloodbaths, lesbianism, perversion and, of course, upskirt pictures.
In a Dystopian future, oil reserves are all but gone, and everyone is animated in such a way that their eyes are way, way too big for their heads.
Bronson is a truly unique and ambitious, occasionally impenetrable piece of filmmaking carefully calculated in its execution and matched by Tom Hardy’s magnificent, career-defining lead performance.
Fantastic Fest Review: Universal Soldier: A New Beginning
Fantastic Fest By Brian Salisbury on October 5, 2009 | Comments (7)The much talked about final secret screening of this year’s Fantastic Fest was said to be epic, with a larger-than-life guest in the house to do Q&A.

Fantastic Fest Review: Terribly Happy
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on October 3, 2009 | Comments (1)Who’s your favorite Danish film director? Favorite Danish film? No? Nothing? Don’t feel bad, I’ve never seen a movie from Denmark either. (And no, Lars Von Trier’s home video art projects don’t count as movies.)
This martial arts flick coming out of Indonesia is, wait for it, far better than Ong Bak. Let that sink in, and then let me explain why inside.
Do you remember the movie Stranger Than Fiction? There’s a scene where Dustin Hoffman explains to Will Ferrell the difference between comedy and tragedy and has him tally up events that would fit into either genre. The Coen Brother’s new film, A Serious Man, seems to live this debate as I can’t really tell if it’s a dark comedy depicting tragic events or a tragedy with comedic characters.
Fantastic Fest Widows: The Interview
Fantastic Fest By FSR Staff on October 2, 2009 | Be the First To CommentFantastic Fest is officially over.

Fantastic Fest Review: Uwe Boll’s Rampage
Fantastic Fest By Neil Miller on September 30, 2009 | Comments (8)Uwe Boll has done many things. And in the eyes of many movie fans around the world, one of them is not making a good film. And with his latest opus, the wanton violence-heavy shoot ‘em up Rampage, Boll still probably won’t have any of those folks convinced that he’s anything more than they already think him to be.
