Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

Machete Kills 5 x double-pass giveaways!

machete_kills.jpg

The lovely folk at Icon Films in conjunction with Cult Projections have five double-passes to see the highly anticipated sequel, Machete Kills, starring the anti-hero-with-attitude Danny Trejo, and re-uniting him with maverick-with-the-most, director Robert Rodriguez, who gave us the brilliant modern grindhouse cult classic Planet Terror  and the amazing graphic novel adaptation Sin City!

 "Trained to kill, left for dead, Machete is back and this time he’s on the right side of the law. With gleefully gory comic book action, outrageously over-the-top characters and an absurd all-star cast including Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Heard, Alexa Vega, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mel Gibson, plus Lady Gaga and “introducing” Carlos Estevez (Charlie Sheen) as President of the United States. 

Bigger, bolder and more badass than ever, Machete Kills is one of the coolest, gore-splattered, star-studded action films ever!"

Popcorn Taxi presents one of the most enigmatic and resonant movies of the year, Shane Carruth's Upstream Color, plus an exclusive chat with him live from Paris!

Shane Carruth was inspired by Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi to create his first low-budget ($7000) film, Primer (2004), which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and a host of other awards. It’s now considered a classic of the time-travel genre. He recently consulted on Rian Johnson's scrpt for Looper.

Shane is a former software engineer with a degree in mathematics, who brings a unique approach to feature filmmaking – directing, writing, acting in, producing, composing and editing his work. According to Carruth not a molecule of Hollywood touched his film.

Cult Projections in conjunction with the lovely folk at Icon Films have five double-passes to see the blistering new movie from modern master filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives, which just won the major film prize at this year’s Sydney Film Festival.

“Only God Forgives is a stylish east-meets-west thriller, set in the back alleys of Bangkok’s criminal underworld. Julian  (Ryan Gosling)  runs a Thai boxing club in Bangkok, as a front for his drug business.  When Julian’s brother (Tom Burke)  is killed, after savagely murdering a young prostitute, his mother (Kristin Scott Thomas), the head of a vast criminal organisation, arrives to collect the body. Crazy with rage and thirsty for vengeance she demands the head of the murderers from Julian; but first, Julian must confront Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a mysterious retired policeman - and figurehead of a divine justice. This sets in motion a range of events that leads to a bloody path of rage, betrayal, ultimate confrontation, and possibly even redemption.”

Drop me a private message via my site LETTERBOX telling me your favourite foreign thriller. I’ll pick the five best and send out the double-pass. Please remember to include a mailing address.
