adam green, adam green's aladdin, aladdin, alia shawkat, natasha lyonne, trailer

It would seem that papier-mâché, acid, and the story of Aladdin have all have somehow found their way to each other through the mind of song-writer-turned-filmmaker Adam Green.

The result is aptly named Adam Green’s Aladdin and has one hell of a trailer. Also, Natasha Lyonne, Alia Shawkat, and plenty more make cameos.

If you’re hooked, look for Adam Green’s Aladdin’s digital release on Fri Apr. 15th in the U.S. and Sat. May 12th around the world.

For many years, we’ve enjoyed seeing Stephanie Allynne hone her darkly humorous, yet grounded comedic sensibilities. In an ever-growing field of dramatic comedy, she manages to stand out.

Now, she’s written and directed a short, The Fun Company, that will be coming out in April and features the likes of Mary Holland, Tig Notaro, and Lauren Lapkus.

From the looks of this gloriously rant-centric trailer, Allynne might have something special (that might also tangle with your idea of feminism is) with The Fun Company.

The sitcoms of the 70s had much more censors to deal with that we do today. Thus, the more accurate portrayals of dysfunctional sitcom families that we get on television today really wouldn’t have happened back then.

That’s where Bill Burr’s animated Netflix series F is For Family comes in as an animated version of what a family of four at odds with each other in 1973 was like. From the looks of this trailer, Bill is going to show 1973 how it really was, no matter how misguided it may have been.

F is for Family starts streaming on Netflix on Dec. 18th.

September 11, 2015

jafar panahi, taxi, tiff, trailer

One of Iran’s most currently celebrated directors Jafar Panahi is actually going through a twenty year ban on writing and directing his own films in Iran. As you can probably guess, the Iranian government had problems with the content of his films and after several arrests, Panahi received that long punishment despite being applauded for his work across the globe.

Panahi has not let the ban stop him from making films as he has manage to do them cleverly in secret, usually in the form of documenting himself and his environs.

His latest work, Taxi, follows Jafar Panahi as a taxi driver in Tehran, perhaps the country’s most famous one, and the slightly absurd passengers and situations that might come into his cab. It’s currently playing the film festival circuit, but hopefully it’ll get picked up for a limited release soon.

Watch, enjoy, and marvel at this trailer of what he pulled off here.
