Evanescence have previewed their first album of original music in nine years with new single, “Wasted on You.” The group’s fifth album, The Bitter Truth, will be released later this year.
“Wasted on You” starts off slow and soulful, with singer Amy Lee detailing a relationship that keeps pulling her under. “I don’t need drugs/I’m already six feet low/I’m wasted on you/Waiting for the bitter truth,” she belts in her signature soprano. The song builds heavier and heavier, with the full band bringing...

With a line-up that already packs a punch, Sundance will also include a new section simply called “Special Events” which is described as “one-of-a-kind moments highlighting new independent works that add to the unique Festival experience. An evolving section, this year includes episodic work, short films and live performance.” In what promises to be a I can’t believe I’m watching what I’m watching type event, the one item that has caught our attention is Andrew Jarecki delving back into a subject heading he is familiar with in All Good Things moving forward into the HBO series, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (six-part documentary). Here is the press release:
Animals./ U.S.A. (Directors and screenwriters: Phil Matarese, Mike Luciano) — Animals. is an independently produced animated series that focuses on the downtrodden creatures native to Earth’s least habitable environment: New York City. Whether it’s lovelorn rats,...

Amy Lee has unveiled her soundtrack to the movie War Story.
The Evanescence singer, alongside composer Dave Eggar, has provided the score to the film starring Sir Ben Kingsley.
Titled Aftermath, the album contains the solo track 'Push the Button', and was released earlier this week.
"It's very different for me, it's electronic," Lee told MTV. "I did it all myself, which was crazy, because I'm used to engineering and writing and mixing demos in my house, but being responsible for that being the end product was a new challenge for me. It was like, 'This is it, I'm mixing this'."
Speaking about creating something different to her usual output, she told Rolling Stone: "I wanted it to be completely different. I didn't want it to be like Evanescence just because I've flexed that muscle so much, I wanted people to see different sides of me.
"It's one of my...

With the constant reminders of the past affixed to the present, the continual struggle with identity and mental toll associated with the warfare of the photo journalism trade, we aren’t all that surprised that Catherine Keener’s character’s undetermined grace period becomes an extended hotel stay. Sans useless backstory, perhaps her character comes close to erasing herself … which is not unlike the motivations of Jack Nicholson’s Brit-American journalist in The Passenger (original Italian title is Professione: reporter) where one man takes refuge from his nouveau past in a rundown middle of nowhere Spanish town hotel in a fateful misstep that ends up assassinating his former and current self.
While the 1975 Michelangelo Antonioni film serves as a marker for Mark Jackson’s insular, murky terrain portrait and examination of how isolation manifests itself both psychologically and physically, I’d argue that Antonioni’s oeuvres is the writer-director major...

World premiering at Park City’s legendary Egyptian theatre (playing opposite was the surprise screening of Richard Linklater 12-year opus), Mark Jackson’s sophomore film on isolation, alienation, introspection and new perspectives is measurably different from his 2011 debut, Without, but both have an air of unease and malaise that is rarely depicted. A rare American independent film to wash up in an Italian backdrop, War Story pulls from the rarely addressed headlines (war photographers/journalists dealing with their own horrific experiences) and begins where the film’s protagonist (Catherine Keener) a repressed, post-traumatic stressed fotog who nurses herself (multiple non-visible injuries) back to what may be a tolerable future.
Catherine Keener, cinematographer Reed Morano (our own American New Wave 25 – 2010) , co-writer and producer Kristin Gore (profiled here) and Dave Eggar (film composer) were among his collaborators and that were present during the post-screening Q&A.

His brilliant feature debut Without, broke out in Park City….but at the neighboring, competing fest. From Slamdance onwards (BFI London, Deauville, Chicago, Locarno Film Fests) with indie cred nominations for Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You (Gotham Awards) and Someone to Watch (Film Independent Spirit Awards) Mark Jackson firmly planted a flag pole for his brand of indie. And one of the most anticipated American indie films for ’14 isn’t shot on the west coast like he did with his debut, but of all places Sicily. Supported by the Cinereach folks, War Story will count as Kristin Gore’s first official screenwriting cred (Nailed is collecting dust) and Jackson managed to lasso Catherine Keener, Hafsia Herzi and Ben Kingsley as his main trio, works once again with musical whizkid Dave Eggar and cinematographer/Park City habitual Reed Morano.
