Writer/director Ti West returns to the macabre universe he created in X (2022) with the follow-up/origin story, Pearl starring Mia Goth as the sublimely surreal and, well, psychotic titular character.
Longing to escape the confines of the family farm where she is forced to care for her invalid father (Matthew Sunderland) by an oppressive mother (Tandi Wright), young Pearl dreams of leaving home to pursue a dream of movie stardom. Unfortunately, her own inclinations and predilections lead her down a path best left less travelled.
Director West, working from a script by himself and star Goth, revels in the little quirky details that make Pearl’s character so unnerving and horrific, yet simultaneously sympathetic and likable. Likewise, Goth somehow manages to make Pearl somewhat sympathetic before springing her burgeoning psychosis on the audience, making it even more effective and disconcerting.

Four New Yorkers have created an experience that’s both reminiscent of childhood fun, but caters to an adult appetite: alcohol and endless amounts of pizza.
Yes, you heard that right: Unlimited carb-filled fun and booze.
Nicolas Ortiz, Tim Williams, Jose Maldonado and Ellis Michilena hosted a pizza party with 50 friends that was such a hit it became the blueprint for a business, Pizza Zoo, which now has a robust social media following and attracts more than 2000 attendees.
“It was a passion that eventually turned into a business,” Ortiz said to People Chica. “For a long time, it wasn’t a business.

It’s been decades since a new world order changed Earth forever, an alien invasion by creatures known as the Nonesuch forcing humanity underground. The old guard who survived remembers the war that drove them subterranean, memories of life on the surface and the beasts that present-day generations hope to never encounter. If any of them do want to risk their lives for a glimpse of the sun they’ve only heard about through stories, though, they can enlist in the military and become a soldier tasked with a one hundred day mission meant to find stragglers and point them towards sanctuary: Exilium. Battles still rage, but humanity has all but resigned itself to its defeat. Now it’s a matter of staying alive to save those who were left behind.
This is the background to Christian Pasquariello’s debut feature S.U.M.1 — a high concept, low budget one-man science fiction show.

This Saturday Mark Hughes’ exciting Stoke side welcome a Crystal Palace side high in confidence and flying high in the league. While Stoke sit five places below Palace, there’s only three points between the sides so a win for Stoke could see them go as high as sixth if they win convincingly and results go their way.
Most will see this clash as a attack vs attack but does that paint the whole picture? Both sides have exceptional defensive records this season and have actually struggled to put the ball in the net, despite the great attacking options available. While that may be a cause for concern for most, both sides could equally be said to be still finding their feet without needing to look over their shoulders at the relegation battle below them

Hollywood Records and Marvel are releasing three albums from Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy on Tuesday, July 29.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Deluxe soundtrack features classic 1970s songs from the film, plus score by composer Tyler Bates (“Watchmen,” “Slither,” “Dawn of the Dead”). Music plays a major role in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy as the great songs featured in the film are part of the storyline in a unique way.
Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says, “One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this compilation tape [Awesome Mix #1] that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that’s the only thing he has left of his mother and that’s the only thing he has left of his home on Earth.

Walk to Remember: Schmidt’s Debut Sincere and Gawky
Director Mark Schmidt attempts to recount an obscure chronicle of WWII heroism to generally awkward effect, though, despite a multitude of distracting and poorly manufactured instances of laughable manipulation, manages to ratchet up sufficient tension to hold our attention. Using a wild variety of Canadian, American, and UK actors, Schmidt’s got a hodgepodge of English speakers trying their best mildly accented Hungarian, often to dubious effect, while a series of poorly edited sequences belies its rather strained budget. A daunting amount of better made films recounting the period flounces the necessity of Schmidt’s picture, even as Walking with the Enemy does depict an account well worth honoring, but it’s a film that will only be cannibalized by the memory of stronger features, bringing to mind, among other title, the similar feel of the 2012 Macedonian film, The Third Half.

But we knew Sony would never quit Kratos, didn't we?
A review of composer Timothy Williams' resume [opens .Pdf] under the "Video Games" heading reveals that among his many credits, he's been working on God of War 4. Outside of an announcement from Sony, this is typically the simplest and cleanest way to know that a game is currently under development. When Joystiq reached out to Williams for comment, he verified the accuracy of the resume, elaborating that "he is 'working on it in the capacity of orchestrations and some additional music,' but wanted to note that Tyler Bates is the "main composer" and should be listed as such."
In addition to God of War 4, Williams has provided music for Blizzard's Dota, as well as films like the recent Conan the Barbarian reboot from Liongsgate.

God of War IV rumours have been showing up ever since God of War 3 was released and today we have a new one that seems to indicate that the game may actually be in development. The composer Timothy Williams who worked on Conan the Barbarian, Rise of the Argonauts, and DOTA2 has listed God of War IV as an upcoming title he will be working on in his resume.
Earlier last year the magazine PSM3 claimed the game would be released sometime in mid 2012 with a co-op gaming component. This rumour was from an unnamed source so believe what you will about the rumor.
The God of War franchise is way too popular for the series to end with the third installment; so it is almost a guarantee that there will be at least one more God of War game coming down the pipes. However, the game will probably not...

When taken for face value, The Entitled is a movie that should kind of fail on every level. It’s a low budget, direct to video feature starring a few aged stars and a few up and coming ones. Even when looking at the cover of the Blu-Ray/DVD, it just looks generic. After watching it, you realize that this movie is far from a failure. The aged stars; Ray Liotta as Richard Nader, Victor Garber as Bob Vincent and Stephen McHattie as Clifford Jones, do a great job as three rich men who are meeting for a weekend with their kids in a house in the middle of the woods. The young up and comers; John Breger as Jeff Vincent, Dustin Milligan as Nick Nader and the lovely Laura Vandervoot as Hailey Jones are the kids and they, too do a great job.

Dear John and Step Up star (and Hollywood heartthrob), Channing Tatum, is set to star in and produce The Contortionist's Handbook. In this big screen adaptation of Craig Clevenger's novel of the same name — first published in 2002 — Tatum will play an identity-changing forger whose life is turned upside down when he meets a mysterious woman with a secret of her own.
The 30-year-old actor currently has a number of movie projects in production, including Haywire and The Dilemma, both due for a theater release in 2011. After romantic hit Dear John raked in an impressive $112 million dollars worldwide, Tatum is no stranger to box office success, though this new project isn't likely to appeal to his hordes of female fans.
Production on The Contortionist's Handbook is due to start next year, and will be produced by Tim Williams, Sidney Kimmel, Sriram Das and John Penotti. Tatum and Reid Carolin will also co-produce.

Newcomer Robin Shushan is putting together the script with John Penotti, Sidney Kimmel, Tim Williams and Sriram Das all producing through Das Films, GreenStreet Films and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment.If you haven't had enough of the super-muscular Tatum in the sappy "Dear John", he'll be back on the big screen sooner than you think.

The first film that gets Richard Branson's Virgin Produced film shingle off the tarmac--it was innocuously mentioned as an untitled Peter Farrelly film in the announcement of Branson's joint venture with Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity--has a bigger concentration of first class cabin-caliber actors than any under-$8 million film I can remember. And the cast is still growing. Deadline was first to reveal the Kentucky Fried Movie-style laffer when Kavanaugh replaced Overture Films as financier and the film started production. They had a good cast then, but the filmmakers keep bolstering by showing prospective talent the raucous segments shot so far, especially the Farrelly-directed seg with Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet that is especially outrageous and R-rated. Aside from Jackman and Winslet, the cast now includes Richard Gere, Anton Yelchin, Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts, Anna Faris, Johnny Knoxville, Julianne Moore, Liev Schreiber, Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel,...

"House" centers on a teen girl (Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre's sole surviving son (Thieriot).

FilmNation's Aaron Ryder and Peter Block of A Bigger Boat are producing with Tim Williams, Hal Lieberman and Jonathan Mostow. Mostow wrote the story on which the script, written by David Loucka, is based.

Due to scheduling constraints, I’ve decided to give more of an overview of my Frozen film shoot experience, rather than a day by day log, because if I keep doing it the way I have been, I won’t finish until the sequel is out on DVD. So here goes…
Preproduction continues for another week or so. The production design crew is at the Snow Basin ski resort trying to devise ways to get 35,000 pound cranes and condors up the mountain to where we are going to shoot. One of the major problems being that there are no roads to get them there.
The rest of the crew is in the production office trying to solve the brutal problems of shooting this film practically 50 feet in the air on a chair lift, in arctic conditions on an actual mountain, rather than a heated soundstage using green screen, fake snow...

British royal Prince Harry and his police minders are under investigation by U.K. authorities, after allegedly taking part in a high-speed chase to get to London's Boujis nightclub.
According to reports, the young prince was driving his black Audi R8 along the M4 motorway in Berkshire, England, followed by a team of protection officers in unmarked police cars.
However, 33-year-old Tim Williams found himself caught up in the 100 mile (106.9 kilometer)-per-hour chase when one of the security vehicles drove up behind him, forcing him to accelerate and change lanes just to make way for Prince Harry as he passed by in his sports car.
Williams has made an official complaint to local authorities, and bosses at Thames Valley Police station have confirmed they are looking into the incident.
