However, seeing as how said kernel is surrounded by an overwhelming amount of stupidity and trite storytelling, I’m not even going to bother looking for it. You’re welcome to it, but I say forget it, you probably have better things to do.]]></summary></entry><entry><title>FILM REVIEW: FRONTIER(S)</title><category term="French"/><category term="Frontiere(s)"/><category term="Mitchell Tully"/><category term="Thriller"/><category term="horror"/><category term="review"/><id>http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/11/9/film-review-frontiers.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/11/9/film-review-frontiers.html"/><author><name>Mitchell Tully</name></author><published>2009-11-09T22:07:47Z</published><updated>2009-11-09T22:07:47Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-CA"><![CDATA[<em>Frontier(s)</em> is Xavier Gens'  first attempt at a feature length film and is done in the same vein as other French cult horror films like <em>High Tension</em> (2003), <em>Martyrs</em> (2008) and <em>Inside</em> (2007). The film takes place in a not so distant future where France has just elected a fascist government into power, and as a result several riots break out both protesting and celebrating the victory.

His eyes light up in such a way that you know he's seeing the buildings surrounding him for what they once were. He reminisces of a time where "knobbly knee" competitions were the highlight of the day, and families visited for breaks full of rest and relaxation. For the Mosney centre, once a Butlins resort on the Irish coast, now has a very different occupation as a centre for asylum seekers.]]></summary></entry><entry><title>TIFF 2009: VENGEANCE</title><category term="Mitchell Tully"/><category term="TIFF"/><category term="Thriller"/><category term="Toronto"/><category term="Toronto International Film Festival"/><category term="action"/><category term="drama"/><category term="film festival"/><category term="revenge"/><category term="vengeance"/><id>http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/11/3/tiff-2009-vengeance.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/11/3/tiff-2009-vengeance.html"/><author><name>Mitchell Tully</name></author><published>2009-11-04T02:10:25Z</published><updated>2009-11-04T02:10:25Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-CA"><![CDATA[The film follows Costello (Johnny Hallyday), a lonely father who has just lost his stepson and two grandchildren from a gangland hit - his daughter is badly hurt in the attack. Upon arriving in Hong Kong he immediately goes to work in discovering who is responsible for his family’s deaths - first by learning what the police had already uncovered about the attack and then questioning his daughter about the people that attacked her.

But because of a mice infestation that destroys his routine, he is forced to revisit the last time he really ventured out of the house with his best friend Bunny, on a cross continent adventure. The film is ridiculously hilarious, with an imaginative art style that should not be missed by fans of unusual British comedies.]]></summary></entry><entry><title>FILM REVIEW: GHOST STORY</title><category term="British horror"/><category term="Ghost Story"/><category term="Leila De Lara"/><category term="Stephen Weeks"/><category term="horror"/><category term="re-relese"/><category term="review"/><id>http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/10/28/film-review-ghost-story.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.sharpobjex.net/film/2009/10/28/film-review-ghost-story.html"/><author><name>Leila De Lara</name></author><published>2009-10-28T23:10:06Z</published><updated>2009-10-28T23:10:06Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-CA"><![CDATA[In a place where dolls lurk demonically, and doctors loom menacingly, you will find the unusual and well crafted film <em>Ghost Story</em>. A feature by the creator of much loved Christopher Lee classic <em>I, Monster</em>, Stephen Weeks brings us a delight in the old school style chiller category.

Running for around thirty odd minutes, its cinematography is imaginative, and clearly took a lot of careful consideration. Employing the use of stop motion animation to truly amazing effect during a sequence in the film, it's something Ed Wood could only dream about.]]></summary></entry></feed>
