Sneak Peek "Deadwood: The Movie", set in the Old West of 1889 directed by Daniel Minahan and written by David Milch as a continuation of the TV series of the same name, starring Ian McShane ("Sexy Beast"), Timothy Olyphant ("Hit Man") and Molly Parker (Kissed") airing exclusively on HBO May 31, 2019:
"It's about the passage of time," said producer Carolyn Strauss. "The toll of time on people. It's mellowed some people and hardened others.
"And it's about the town's maturing and becoming part of the 'Union' and what that event sets in motion, in a very personal way for the people that it brings in town and what ensues.
"The time has taken its greatest toll on 'Swearengen' (McShane). He’s the person who really drove so much of the life of the town and there's a sense of that power waning somewhat, and what ensues of that is a big part of the story.

Ahead of the UK premiere of Level 16 at Arrow Video FrightFest Glasgow 2019, director Danishka Esterhazy tells us about the long journey to get her film made, the empowering nature of female friendship and her love for sci-fi.
It has been 10 years since first draft to a world premiere at Fantastic Fest. Quite a journey. What inspired you in the first place and what kept you going?
Yes, it has not been an easy road with this film. I wrote Level 16 right after graduating from film school and I had hoped that it would be my first feature film. But I could not find any investors or broadcasters or distributors who wanted to support the film. I love science fiction, love dystopian films, but I had not seen many (any?) with a primarily female cast. Most science fiction films have a large male cast with maybe one or two female actors in smaller roles,...

In the days before premium cable, television was a squeaky-clean place for the most part. The traditional networks rarely dared to push boundaries when it came to graphic sexual content for fear of pissing off advertisers. (And when they did, as with ABC’s “NYPD Blue,” affiliates and advertisers did indeed balk on cue.)
But then came HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Starz, and a slew of other networks, which asked for a little extra subscriber cash, but offered in exchange unfiltered violence, language, and sex. Without that creative freedom, it’s doubtful that television as a storytelling art form would have evolved in the same way, especially when it comes to sex — one of the most primal aspects of humanity that the broadcast networks kept behind closed doors for far too long.
Because different things are sexy to different people, this list is unranked — streaming platforms and ad-supported cable networks will be saved for future lists.

Is it just me, or did Scream Queens‘ “Thanksgiving” episode feel a hell of a lot more like another hour of Halloween?
Then again, I suppose a severed head showing up on the dinner table — R.I.P., Gigi! — could happen on any day in Kappa Kappa Tau, holiday or not. But let’s back up for a minute, because there was a lot (of nonsense) to digest this week.

Like an avenging angel wrapped in red cellophane, Valentine’s Day is back to remind us all that we should be better lovers. You know what, Valentine’s Day? F*ck you and the Whitman’s Sampler you rode in on. Here are 20 reasons why nobody should bother with romance this February 14.
1. The Talented Mr. Ripley
Ripley is a great movie, but it’s long on suspense and deception and short on romance. Ripley connives and insinuates his way through a whole gaggle of actual and imagined romantic partners – both female and male – and even those who manage to survive to the final reel are most assuredly a bit more guarded after dating him. Side note: did you realize that the guy that Ripley romances and then murders is Derek from Smash? Seriously, one of the best casts ever assembled, and also Gwyneth Paltrow.

Trigger, the newest film from Canadian director Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), is a quiet, contemplative little film that ended up being one of the most intelligent, interesting one that I saw at the 2011 International Film Festival Boston. A heavy, intense film comprised almost entirely of dialogue between two actors, it walks a careful line between self-indulgent and self-aware, between pretentious and intricate complexity. Fortunately, even when it's being pretentious, it works. It's a thoroughly satisfying film.
Two women -- Kat (Molly Parker) and Vic (Tracy Wright) -- are former members of the fictional alt-rock band Trigger, a band whose star shone hot and bright and fast years ago, but whose members have scattered down very different paths since then. After a short rock and roll life replete with addiction and arguments, the two women turned away from both their band and each other. Kat has settled into a thriving life writing...

Films about veterans are always a touchy one, and films about vets with Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome are even more so. It takes a delicate hand to not make it seem exploitive, but also to still tell an interesting story. The best ones (such as Jim Sheridan's Brothers) are the ones that juxtapose the need for normalcy with the impracticality of that need in light of the realities created by the scars of war.
Oliver Sherman, directed by first-timer Ryan Bedford, seeks to wade into those murky waters and find that balance. The trailer is a phenomenal one, qith a quiet, gentle tone that belies the obvious menace beneath the surface. Garret Dillahunt (Winter's Bone, Last House On The Left) plays an unstable veteran who tracks down the man who saved his life (Donal Logue), only to find him content with his normal life, complete with wife (the amazing Molly Parker) and children.

I already got my obligatory sentimental Valentine's Day post out of the way, so now it's time to have some fun. To celebrate the heart-shaped box industry's favorite day of the year, Filmdrunk assembled a montage of the most disturbing kisses in movie history:
Certainly not Filmdrunk's most authoritative compilation, but a good start anyway. To which I strongly believe needs to be added:
-"Batman Returns," when Michelle Pfeiffer simultaneously French kisses Christopher Walken (euww!) and a taser (ouch!).
-"Kissed," Molly Parker as a necrophiliac mortician. Creepy. Unless you're into making out with corpses. Then this movie is totally hot.
-"The Specialist," naked Sylvester Stallone making out with Sharon Stone while grinding all over her. And they're wet too.
-"Dumb and Dumber," when it looks like Jim Carrey is trying to surgically remove Lauren Holly's lungs by sucking them out through her mouth.
-"Savage Grace,...

At the first look, it's very easy to loathe Lynne Stopkewich's Kissed. In fact, the production value is a little bit questionable and the execution slightly lacks energy. However, Kissed's technical flaws can be overlooked in the long run because of its script's depth.
Ever since she was young, Sandra Larson (Natasha Morley) has tried to understand what death is. As time goes by, her romantic ideals about death grow into necrophilia. Now that Sandra (Molly Parker) is an adult, she decides to study embalming for the pleasure of being around dead bodies of men. Then enters Matt (Peter Outerbridge), a medicine student who is her first love ever and also a person with whom she's opened about her necrophilia. However, Matt's growing obsession for Sandra eventually makes him see that he can never be loved by her as much as dead men.
First of all, congratulation for...

VANCOUVER -- Canadian filmmaker John Pozer has launched a lawsuit against his ex-partner and fellow filmmaker Lynne Stopkewich for a share of the profits from Kissed, Stopkewich's 1996 debut feature about a young woman sexually attracted to corpses. In a March 20 lawsuit, Pozer claims he lived with Stopkewich in 1994 while she developed and financed Kissed, a film about an attractive young necrophiliac, played by Molly Parker, who has sex with corpses in a funeral home. Produced as a low-budget feature, Kissed spurred a bidding war for its U.S. distribution rights after bowing at the 1996 Toronto International Film Festival. The Samuel Goldwyn Co. eventually grabbed the U.S. rights, while Malofilm Distribution secured the Canadian rights.
