One of our Must See Movies, Northstar, has a new clip out and it truly showcases the beauty and mystical air of nature, with imagery of vast snowy landscapes, shot in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The film, directed and written by creative brother-duo Nathan and Seth Anderson, and produced by Jason Hagen, follows the story of a group of people who have survived a mysterious cataclysm, that has devastated the majority of North America in one single day. The film focuses on a young father, who seeks for a way to wake his daughter from a coma that is somehow connected to the tragedy. As luck (or not so much) would have it, a mysterious woman emerges from the forest one day, claiming to know how to revive the child, which would be wonderful news – except for the fact that she is being pursued by a strong and determined military force who are after a secret that is hidden in her mind.

With the release of the new trailer and TV spot, Entertainment One flaunts its impressive cast, with former boy wizard himself, Daniel Radcliffe, hoping to make sure audiences recognize him as a talented actor, not a former child star. by Melissa Haggar 2012 saw the unlikely unison of two actors, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, whose bromance blossomed in the undeniably funny and incredibly self-deprecating film, 21 Jump Street. Based off the television series of the same name (you know, the one starring Johnny Depp!) and with Lord and Miller at the helm of the production, 21 Jump Street raised the bar for action comedies, packing plenty of punch in an affectionate, self-mocking manner. With the release of the sequel, 22 Jump Street, recently we have enjoyed copious amounts of the original, going back to the place it started. by Melissa Haggar The latest up-and-coming independent film to attract our attention is Early Bird, written and directed by Andrew Flynn, and produced by Chris Nials. Dealing with the concept of house-sharing, the film offers a dark but humorous take on the subject, exploring how mad it can be to share what is essentially your life and home with another person who you may have only just met briefly. Early Bird is based in Tooting which further adds to the realism as people in London areas tend to be more open about living in flat-shares due to the high living cost individually. The concept is actually quite clever, and in recent years an unprecedented number of recent graduates, young professionals and students have resorted to the idea of flat-shares as a way to get by and subsidize costs, and this strong and relatable subject matter is a great basis for film |
