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.

Early Morning Providence

Providence_S02E01_076The year has started well for Kathryn fans in the UK.

In the first couple of days we had showings of the film Inferno.

Cold Case is getting daily screenings available to everyone with a TV, and not just those with a satellite dish attached to it.

This run of luck is set to continue but you’ll need to stay up very late or be up very, very early (or set the PVR) to see it.

The TV series Providence is currently being broadcast in back-to-back pairs starting at 1am on the Movie Mix channel.  Friday (22nd of Jan) morning (or Thursday night if you prefer) the final episode of season one is up first.  That can only mean one thing.  The second of the double dose is the first episode of season two.  2am OK with you?

Going under the title of The Third Thing Kathryn guest stars Molly, a disturbed young woman struggling to deal with the loss of a child.  The staff at the Rhode Island clinic run by Dr Sydney Hansen (Melina Kanakaredes of CSI: NY) find themselves in a hostage situation when Molly pulls a gun.

Providence ran for five seasons from 1999 to 2002 on the NBC network in the USA.

I’ve looked at this episode of Providence almost 6 years ago on KM UK here.  Screencaps can be found in the Gallery.

Kathryn Is In Colony Next Week!

Colony_S01E02_promo_004I really did not expect this to happen so soon!  I was sure we’d be hanging on until at least the 5th episode!

The “next week on…” promo video shown after last Thursday’s première of the new USA Network sci-fi-ish drama series Colony included a couple of brief glimpses of Kathryn!  If this is correct we will see her in episode two.

And when I say ‘brief’ a) I mean really, really brief; and b) instead of ‘brief glimpses’ maybe I should have said ‘glimpse briefs’ 😉

Colony_S01E02_promoWith the second peek being what you see above (grrr!) and the Amanda Righetti (The Mentalist) scene shown just before it we can safely say Colony is turning up the sexy!  For those of us that not lusting after Josh Holloway (Lost) anyway  :-)

Over the video we hear Kathryn, as Charlotte, say “You work for me.  Do you understand?”  We can’t see who she is saying this to.

If you didn’t tune in last time then maybe you should reconsider for next week.

There is a copy of the episode 2 promo video and some 720p screencaps of Kathryn from it in the Gallery now.

Kathryn @ People’s Choice Awards 2010 Reprise

peoples_choice_awards_onstage_007Almost exactly a year a go I posted a sizeable update of photos of Kathryn at People’s Choice Awards in 2010.

peoples_choice_awards_onstage_006The additional photos then were focused on the red carpet side of the event.  The ‘before’ if you will.

Today we look at the ‘during’ with a smaller update involving the events on stage and backstage.

Sadly I’ve nothing from ‘after’  :-(

This event was a little unusual for a public appearance by Kathryn because her role in presenting two awards with Greg Grunberg (Alias) meant had advanced warning it would be happening.  I even posted about it a few weeks previously!  Go me!

peoples_choice_awards_backstage_001This year’s People’s Choice Awards; which covers film, television and music; took place last week.  I like to make these updates to old events timely.  Unlike the Oscars which can allow one film to dominate proceedings in the PCAs the categories largely prevent that.  Having said that Furious 7 (which not a prequel to The Hateful Eight regardless of what you might think!), The Big Bang Theory and Taylor Swift could between them be said to have won the major prizes between them.

The KM UK Gallery now has extra photos of Kathryn both on the Nokia Theatre stage and behind it in January of 2010.
