Writer-director Carlos V. Gutierrez’s “Locked In” is not to be confused with 2017’s “Locked In,” nor 2010’s “Locked In,” nor the numerous short films that have also used that title in the past two decades. Nonetheless, this low-budget potboiler’s common moniker is emblematic of its generally generic nature. A thriller about a woman’s efforts to thwart a pair of criminals who come looking for their loot, it’s that prolongs what should have been a relatively brief incident. Its prospects may be better on VOD than in theaters when it opens via both platforms on May 7, but most will wisely sidestep it altogether.
Save for a few brief scenes, almost all of “Locked In” takes place in a steely, nondescript storage facility run by Lee (Bruno Bichir) and his sole employee Maggie (Mena Suvari), who’s introduced getting accidentally locked in a unit, which causes her to...

Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only).

After an initial first look, a U.S. trailer has landed for the intensely harrowing thriller Berlin Syndrome, which has now also found a release date in the states. The film follows an Australian journalist (Teresa Palmer) whose romantic getaway in the titular city is turned to a nightmare when her newfound lover keeps her hostage.
Directed by Cate Shortland, we said in our review from Sundance, “While the recent 10 Cloverfield Lane and Room told stories of captivity with various hooks — science-fiction and the process of healing, respectively — Cate Shortland’s approach in her latest, harrowing drama Berlin Syndrome makes room for more nuance and depth. Locked in a Berlin apartment, there is little hope for our protagonist for nearly the entire runtime. And while some of the story’s turns can feel overtly manipulative, Shortland finds a bracing humanity in depicting the perverse situation of Stockholm syndrome.”

Aren’t romantic getaways the best? Well, they are until your lover holds you hostage in their apartment, and Liam Neeson isn’t your father. This means Clare (Teresa Palmer) must use her own wits to try and escape. Helmed by Cate Shortland (Lore), judging from the first international trailer this film looks to tackle seriously the real issues of possession and dominance that are turned into limp kinks in the Fifty Shades series.

Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard lead Robert Zemeckis' new movie, Allied. Here's our review...
Brad's been here before. Seven years ago, a moustachioed Pitt led a ragtag band into a Nazi-killing scheme of gleeful brutality in Inglourious Basterds. Five years later, we met up Pitt, sans facial hair, in the bowels of a tank, dirty, tumbled, moral and muffled in Fury. Another two years on and it's barely a beat after Remembrance Day with Allied. For Pitt, this visit to 1940s Europe comes in much different circumstances. Again he's slaying Nazis, whilst swastikas litter the screen, but the similarities end somewhere around here.
We first meet Max Vatan parachuting into German-controlled Morocco, trudging across Tatooine-y vistas. Vatan, a sepia-toned spy, has been dropped behind enemy lines, tasked to meet up with deep-cover agent, Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard), and assassinate the Nazi ambassador. Beausejour relishes in her fictional cover, schmoozing...

Director Ben Wheatley is showing his eye for talent by putting his name behind a guy who’s worked closely with him since 2011’s Kill List. A filmmaker in his own right, camera operator Nick Gillespie has stayed by Wheatley’s side on every subsequent project up to and including the forthcoming Free Fire. This time around it’s he who’s providing the claustrophobic thriller as writer and director of Tank 432 (formerly known as Belly of the Bulldog). It’s a doozy too—all mood, atmosphere, and mystery with our own confusion about the action mirrored in those onscreen. All they know is that they have orders. Extract their prisoners, survive the war, and write everything down. But while they know what to do, the why seems universally out of reach.

In this unruly Belgian satire, God is a sadistic, filing-fixated resident of Brussels
In Jaco Van Dormael’s playfully blasphemous Belgian fantasy, God exists, lives in Brussels, and is a total bastard to his wife and daughter. Locked in a Gilliam-esque room of filing cabinets, his unholiness (played by Benoît Poelvoorde, who once turned heads and stomachs in Man Bites Dog) spends his days sadistically abusing the world’s population. Then, resourceful, resentful daughter Ea (Pili Groyne) commandeers his computer, texts the time and date of their deaths to every living soul, and escapes through a washing machine into the wonderland of the world. Here, she must assemble six random apostles while steering clear of her wrathful dad, who is getting a taste of his own earthly medicine. It’s divertingly unruly stuff, which comes on like a cross between Powell and Pressburger’s A Matter of Life and Death...

The people of Eternia would find it difficult not to bow before the awesome features of Sideshow Collectibles' new Skeletor statue. We first shared photos of this fearsome figure last summer at San Diego Comic-Con, and we now have new images and release details for this detailed depiction of He-Man's nemesis.
Priced at $449.99 and expected to ship between November 2016 and January 2017, Sideshow's new, limited edition Skeletor statue stands over 21 inches tall, weighs in at 15 pounds, and comes with two skull displays.

Charlie Sheen has plans to chronicle his lengthy film and TV career, as well as his struggle with HIV, in a new memoir, Entertainment Tonight reports.
The actor's manager, Mark Burg, is meeting with publishers about the potential book, which should be of interest to various publishing houses after the actor divulged in an interview with Matt Lauer on Tuesday that he has been HIV-positive for four years.
As Sheen discussed on Today, and in an open letter, his diagnosis has been fraught with both medical successes and personal breakdowns.

Pollyanna McIntosh, who created ripples with her deranged, primal breakout as The Woman in The Woman, stars as Rachel Heggie, a rookie cop starting her first night at a remote Scottish police station where the dregs of society sit forgotten in dreary cells. Brian O’Malley makes his feature debut as Game of Thrones’ Liam Cunningham turns up on the streets and is arrested after being thought dead for years. Locked in the Silence of the Lambs-infused basement with the other monsters, he slowly preys on each, taking their souls for the sinful crimes they committed. Gore and fiery death awaits. O’Malley captures some exciting seaside imagery, but betrays his modest budget with token shots that smack of lack of time, lighting, and proper execution.

It's one thing to be a part of a huge franchise, spanning several films and carrying the weight of untold box office expectations, but it's an entirely separate thing to be involved in two huge franchises. And that's the position that Miles Teller has found himself in, with the second chapter in the "Divergent" series, "Insurgent," opening this week, and a brand new reboot of Marvel's "Fantastic Four" hitting theaters later this summer. But if he's feeling the pressure, he's certainly not showing it.
I sat down with Teller in Austin, Texas, during the South by Southwest Film Festival, a weeklong celebration of mostly independent films, to talk about "Insurgent," a towering behemoth of a movie whose production budget is probably equal to most of the independents screening at South by Southwest combined.

But while all screen kisses may be heart-warming, they've looked very different since the dawn of cinema. Here's a look at the history of screen romance, by the decades: Decade: 1920’s Romantic Ideals: Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo Their Day Jobs: Sheik and coat-check girl How They Meet: Trapped in a desert oasis while traveling under a secret identity Obstacle in their Path: Her drunken husband, his nattering wives, Hammurabi’s code condemning to death all who gaze upon a member of the tribe. Big Cool Friend’s Advice: “Sail to the ends of the earth, where a man may forget.” Final Kiss Location: Under a full moon atop Mount Kilimanjaro. Watch Party Streaming Pick: “The Sheik” Decade: 1930’s Romantic Ideals: Jean Arthur and Cary Grant Their Day Jobs: Con-woman and paleontologist.

Till I Can Get My Satisfaction: Kurosawa’s Striking Psychosexual Marathon
Past traumas hopelessly infecting the present factor significantly in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s monolithic psychosexual thriller, Penance, a five part made-for-television miniseries that premiered back in 2012 for North American audiences at the Toronto Film Festival, now receiving a limited theatrical release. Like many of Kurosawa’s best known works, he explores the ripple effects of tragic circumstances and their continually endless warping effects, perhaps sometimes seen as a metaphor for cultural tendencies at large. His latest plays like a tangential murder mystery of crossed paths, finally looping back to a finale that leads to more complicated depths, not unlike something David Lynch would do in this similar format of impressively orchestrated subplots and characterizations that makes for viewing in one sitting a head spinning ordeal.

“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”
The Joker said it. Alan Moore wrote it. By the end of Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke, Batman has had exactly that bad day. The chilling laugh that closes out the book may not belong to the Joker. Having finally crossed the line and killed his greatest foe, Batman has mentally snapped, or so the reliable sources say. Batman truly was one bad day away from becoming the Joker. Bruce is a man who must constantly hold himself in check because each villain he faces, is a dark reflection of himself.

Penny Dreadful Season 1, Episode 7 “Possession”
Written by John Logan
Directed by James Hawes
Airs Sundays at 10pm Et on Showtime
There’s a very specific formula for success on Penny Dreadful: the more unhinged Vanessa Ives gets, the more interesting and colorful everything else in the world around her becomes. Part of this is by design: there is so much to discover with her character, there almost needs to be no other distractions around her character – but it’s also a by-product of performance: Eva Green’s command of her performance allows her to unleash or retract at any time, truly one of the best split-personality performances I’ve ever watched on film. “Possession” makes these strengths – and by comparison, flaws – quite clear in the episode’s opening minutes: but as the episode carries on inside Malcolm’s townhouse, the people around Vanessa become more three-dimensional, a symbiotic relationship...

Today's batch of MPAA ratings is dominated by one word films as Disney's new Disneynature feature Bears scores a G rating, David Gordon Green's Joe starring Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan received an R rating, John Curran's 2013 festival film, Tracks, starring Mia Wasikowska and rising star, Adam Driver, landed a PG-13; and Relativity's Oculus held onto its R rating after a so-called "re-rate". Also included in today's rating is Ned Benson's The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which I haven't added to the database yet because I don't know how the Weinstein Co. is going to handle the release. There is a Him installment (featuring James McAvoy) and a Her installment, telling the same story from Eleanor's perspective, she being played by Jessica Chastain. Once I hear more about the release plan I'll get it into the database, but for now both installments scored an R rating. I've...

Doctor Who, one of television’s most venerated sci-fi shows, celebrated its 50th birthday on November 23rd with a two-hour long special and a variety of new documentaries. While Doctor Who is known in the fandom world as being quirky, unique, and for having a massively devote fan base I would like to argue that it should be known for something else: Its ability to make the its fans sob like a small child who just got their bike stolen.
Doctor Who, while often goofy and light-hearted can also pack a massive emotional punch at times. Read on and check out some of the most heart-wrenching, soul-crushing moments that this show has offered up during its modern run. Beware. Spoilers lie ahead.

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for their annual awards on January 16th, 2014, suspicion rumbled around the Best Original Song category, which featured a nomination for a little heard song from a little seen film titled Alone Yet Not Alone.
Composed by Emmy winning Oscar nominee Bruce Broughton, with lyrics by Dennis Spiegel, the song is performed by quadriplegic evangelical Christian author and radio host, Joni Earekson Tada. Concerns about the inclusion of the song, however, stemmed from the fact that the composer is a former Governor of the Academy’s music branch, and a current executive committee member.
Following the nominations announcement, Broughton addressed concerns as he spoke to Entertainment Weekly:
“What happens is that the Music Branch of the Academy puts all the songs on a disc and I was concerned that this song would be really easy to overlook. So, yeah,...

One night with Eliza Dushku can solve all of your problems, physically and spiritually. That's the lesson Narnia star Ben Barnes learns in the trailer for Suri Krishnamma's Locked In, a thriller about... well, I'm not exactly sure what it's about. And like me, Meredith at io9 is positing that the answers lie in Ms. Dushku's naughty bits: "We're still not sure what Lester from The Wire is doing in it, but he seems to be some sort of spiritual guide that ferries spirits through Eliza's downstairs parts?"...

Poor Eliza Dushku has had it rough the past few years. On top of seeing two TV shows come crashing down, she hasn.t had a big movie in quite a while. In fact, minus Bring It On, she hasn.t really done anything noteworthy on the big screen. As a horror junky I quite enjoy Wrong Turn and for some odd reason, every time The New Guy is on TV, which is ridiculously often, I can.t turn it off. But both are far from good films and certainly won.t help give her career a boost and sadly, it doesn.t look like her latest film, Locked In will either. The trailer is all over the place. Is it about a romance shared between Dushku and co-star Ben Barnes? No, he.s married to Sarah Roemer and they get into a car crash leaving their daughter with locked-in...
