Bone Tomahawk Heads For The Low Country

rotterdam_film_festival_logo_600x600After the dizzying heights of eastern France yesterday today we are heading both North and down.

The distinguished looking gentleman you see on the right is the logo/mascot of the International Film Festival Rotterdam.  He’s a tiger, apparently loosely based on the MGM film studio’s iconic roaring lion, and is used to represent the event in all its forms.  The festival is held in the city of Rotterham in South Holland, the Netherlands, and this will be its 45th year.

S. Craig Zahler’s Horror western Bone Tomahawk is having its national première on Friday (29th) at the Pathé Schouwburgplein cinema starting at 12:30pm.  Saturday night sees a repeat screening a the same venue.  An evening showing at the Cinerama Filmtheater on Sunday and the following Friday (5th Feb, yes it is nearly February already!) for final 19:15 start at the Oude Luxor Theater.

As is usual on these occasions we end on a link to the official website of the event in question: HERE.

Bone Tomahawk Heads For The Hills (Of France)

gerardmer_film_festival_1500x2000You’ll have to forgive me up front because I’m bound to make a hash of this one.  No doubt I’ll amuse and offend a whole country in one post with my attempts to understand a language I very clearly don’t.

It’s been a while since we’ve hit the festival circuit here on KM UK and it is already late January 2016.  We have a bit of catching up to do.

On Wednesday (27th Jan 2017) the Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer starts.  I think we can work out most of that without reaching for the French-English dictionary but suffice to say it is a sci-fi and horror film festival held in France.

Gérardmer is a community in the far East of France, around 35 miles (that’s approx. 60km for locals) from the borders with both Germany and Switzerland.  Up in the mountains it is on the shores of Lac de Gérardmer and looks like a very beautiful part of the world (hopefully that buys me a bit of goodwill :-) ).

Bone Tomahawk is one of four films premièring at the event and gets an initial 11am showing on Thursday (28th) at the L’espace LAC cinema, which is the main venue for the whole event.  Later, at 7:30pm, it will be at the Cinéma du casino.  Friday and Saturday see screenings at the other two screening rooms for the festival La MCL and Le cinéma Paradiso respectively.

Check out the official website for the Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer, which runs until the end of the month, for all the details without my butchering.

Again, apologies  😐

So… Colony…

Colony_S01E02_promo_004Anything you’d like to tell us?

Sadly, it turns out that the promo video for the second episode of Colony, which was released last week after the first episode got its first network airing (it had been released online a few weeks previously), was somewhat misleading.

Around half of the footage in the minute long montage was not even in the episode in question.  Clearly they were clips from future shows.  Not happy!

This meant that Kathryn was not in last nights Brave New World episode.  Very not happy!

Could it have been propaganda released by a powerful, yet faceless, entity to control the masses?  Are they using trusted sources to legitimise their actions?  Hey, wait a minute…

We did get to see Kathleen Rose Perkins (who was great in the US/UK comedy Episodes) and Kathy Baker (Picket Fences).  That Kathy is really a Katherine.  So they did try and make up for the deficiency.  Sort of.

Information I’ve been able to find suggests that we might first see Kathryn’s Charlotte (not a euphemism) in episode 4, which is titled Blind Spot.  Salt at the ready!

However, with what we saw in the clip and some of the happenings in episode two it does give me a few ideas as to some future plot points around Kathryn’s character.  I’ll let you speculate on what they could  be.

Bone Tomahawk & The Perfect Guy Head Home For New Year

blu-ray_box_001 blu-ray_box_001

You wait ages for a new movie starring Kathryn Morris to come out on DVD/Blu-ray and then two come along at once!  Unpossible!

Next you’ll be telling me we may see her in a recurring role in a sci-fi-ish drama series for the USA Network which starts in the new year!  What!?!  Get outta town!

Both Bone Tomahawk and The Perfect Guy make their début on the take home DVD and Blu-ray disc formats tomorrow (29th December 2015).  This is north America only of course.  Links to Amazon’s US website are here and here.

It looks like Germany is due to receive releases of both in the coming weeks too.  It is not clear if there is region coding involved on any of the discs.  So, although I will remind you that it is possible to order discs from other countries (your local Amazon login will work in any regional Amazon website), please be aware the disc may not play in the devices you have.  Also, language could be an issue.  And delivery.

Feel free to let us know of disc releases in your area with a comment below.

Win A Signed Bone Tomahawk Poster – Dread Central

poster_002_1500x2215Following on from our post on Thursday about winning Bone Tomahawk on DVD/Blu-ray, how about a signed poster.

Horror news website Dread Central has such a work of art signed by various members of the success western.

Actors Kurt Russell (Death Proof), Patrick Wilson (Watchmen), Matthew Fox (Lost), and Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) have taken pen to paper along with writer/director Craig S Zahler, and producers Dallas Sonnier and Jack Heller.  Sadly Kathryn is notable by her absence from that list.

All it takes is a properly subject-lined email sent to the correct address with your details.  No question to answer, no “reason why I should win” sentence to write, or special slogan to create.  Just an email.  You have until the very start of the day on the 28th of December, taking into account the timezone.  Get it done before the 27th to be safe.

Unusually for this kind of thing it appears not to be limited to only those in North America.  At least if the asterixed line at the bottom of the page “Some International Shipping Available” is to be believed.

See the Dread Central page here.
