Tim Roth leads an excellent cast in unpredictable new Sky Atlantic revenge drama Tin Star, out now…
“It’s the disposal,” says Tim Roth. “The killing isn’t the problem, it’s the disposal that’s the problem. You run out of space.” The storage issues faced by serial killers aren’t something to which many of us will have devoted much thought. Roth has. Reassuringly, he’s had reason to thanks to his recent sinister role as real-life murderer Reg Christie in BBC drama Rillington Place. “Charming fella” he jokes.

Stars: Robert R. Shafer, Barbara Niven, Miles Dougal, Rod Sweitzer, Nick Vallelonga, Melanie Good, Julie Strain | Written by Dan Povenmire | Directed by Adam Rifkin (as Rif Coogan)
You know, it wasn’t until the release of Detroit Rock City that I realised that a) Adam Rifkin and Rif Coogan are one in the same; and b) just how many of Rifkin’s films I considered amongst my favourites at that time: Never on Tuesday, The Dark Backward, The Chase and, of course, Psycho Cop Returns. Mainly because they were films I remember renting on video (you couldn’t escape trailers for The Dark Backward back in the VHS era) and seeing on Sky’s movie channels in the days when you could be guaranteed to find an “obscure” film screening as filler between their big-name flicks!
Psycho Cop Returns came at a period in horror movie making, which also included...

From the currently playing Their Finest to the likes of Bowfinger and Boogie Nights, we salute the movies about making movies...
If you haven't caught up yet, Their Finest is currently playing in UK cinemas and it's a gorgeous little love letter to perseverance through storytelling, set against the backdrop of a film production office at the British Ministry of Information during the Second World War. Based on Lissa Evans' novel, Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy play characters whose access to the film industry has been contingent on the global crisis that takes other young men away from such trifling matters, and it's a real joy to watch.
Among other things, the film got us thinking about other films about making films. We're not talking about documentaries, even though Hearts Of Darkness, the documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now, may be the greatest film about...

Attorneys for Bill Cosby are challenging the use of hearsay evidence during a recent preliminary hearing in the comedy legend's sex assault case and further insist prosecutors are trying to "win at all costs" in papers filed this week with the court.
In court records filed on Wednesday, Cosby's defense team argues it should've been afforded an opportunity to cross-examine their client's accuser, Andrea Constand, who claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by the comedian in 2004.

Exclusive: Icelandic companies plan joint slate of Icelandic and English-language films including Óskar Jónasson’s Habeus Corpus.
Icelandic production companies Truenorth and Mystery are partnering on an ambitious slate of eight films to be shot over the next five years.
“Both companies were looking to expand into more European co-productions so we decided to join forces,” said Kristinn Thordarson, head of production at Truenorth.
David Oskar Olafsson of Mystery added that the slate’s eight productions are five in English and three in Icelandic.
“We had the same goals and ambitions,” Olafsson said “By joining teams, we felt we could be working on broader profile films.”
Leifur B Dagfinnsson of Truenorth said that both companies would continue to work on their own projects as well as the joint slate, and they would continue to have separate offices in Reykjavik.
The plan is to have eight to 10 films on the joint slate continually.

Houston rap legends Geto Boys (currently Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill) haven't made an album together in ten years. Since 2005's The Foundation, all three rappers have gone their separate ways — with one-off reunions and even a tour in between — but now the trio are finally ready to release new music together, with an album called Habeas Corpus. And like many acts from their era (most recently, TLC and De La Soul), they've turned to Kickstarter in lieu of a record label to protect their creative control. "We're gonna go the fuck off on the new album. If it scared David Geffen back in 1990, it's gonna ruffle a few feathers in 2015," Willie D tells Rolling Stone, referencing the group's famously political and graphic songs. The album, for which they're asking $100,000 to be raised by July 15, will be produced by longtime collaborator Mike Dean,...

Chilean authorities and representatives participate once more in one of the most important film festivals in the world and CinemaChile’s Executive Director, Constanza Arena, will again coordinate the mission. Among the authorities traveling with the delegation are:ProChile’s Roberto Paiva, the Europe Department coordinator,Patricia Matta, ProChile’s representatives in France,Pedro Durán andCamille Perón, representing the Cnca the Arts and Audiovisual Industry Council’s Executive Secretary,Martin Rodríguez, and the Strategic Programs and International Affairs Director, Tatiana Emden, also present, Joyce Zylberberg, Film Commission Chile general Coordinator.
CinemaChile’s Executive Director, Constanza Arena, noted the ongoing presence of the Chilean delegation abroad, which accounts for the powerful Chilean audiovisual industry development and stated regarding the Cannes Film Festival, “This is simply the most important yearly mission for our country and we are fully prepared”.
Culture Minister till last week, Claudia Barattini, claims that Chilean cinematography has obtained incredible international acknowledgments in recent years, this being the result of several factors: A state that invested in audiovisual production and filmmakers that have created quality works. Films are the most potent instruments for the country’s image today, as others were in other times. At some point, Chile was known for the dictatorship, sadly, Chile was known by its political aspects, but today people talk about Chilean films around the world and they know about Chile via its cinematography”, states Barattini.
Chilean Films at Marche du Film
This year Chile participates with a 45-person delegation integrated by filmmakers, producers, directors and authorities that attend the festival’s industry market with 40 projects in different stages of production, including several titles that have already been awarded in other film festivals.
According to ProChile’s Director, Roberto Paiva, who reassures the support of the agency to the national audiovisual industry: “Creative industries in its cultural and economic dimension, contribute to the establishment a powerful country image abroad. That is why we support the audiovisual sector in a joint effort with the private sector, with CinemaChile’s sector trademark and our Creative Industries sector plan. Both projects’ objectives are to diversify the sectors and markets that national artists and entrepreneurs aim for."
ProChile France- Commercial Director, Pedro Durán, “Our presence at the Cannes Film Festival with the highest quality films and production abilities, convey the culture and creativity that are the essential basis for our country’s development. It also fosters Chile’s image placing it at the highest level in France, where education and culture are the building blocks that portray our new generation’s projections for the Xxi century”.
The task will be completed with the help of the Arts and Audiovisual Industry Council (Caia) of the Cnca. Martín Rodríguez, Caia’s Executive Secretary states, “It has been 45 years since the last screening of a Chilean film at the Director’s Fortnight and powerful political and social content is the common denominator of the films that reach Cannes. 45 years ago the new Chilean Cinema showed a strong connection with the political-social accounts of what happened in our country. This year the Chile Factory film, as well as, 'Allende, mi Abuelo Allende,' are marked by the 70’s heritage, which was branded in our souls and memory”.
Precisely due to the support and funding from the Arts and Audiovisual Industry Council of the Cnca, via its program to support International Market and Festival attendance, 8 production houses, their delegates and their projects will be in attendance.
The official delegation includes Errante Productions, represented by the producer Paola Castillo, who takes the projects: "El último lugar," "Cielo," "La Frontera," "La directiva" and "Allende, mi abuelo Allende;" ChileDoc, represented by Flor Rubina and the documentaries: "Escapes de Gas," "Habeas Corpus," "Surire," "Chicago Boys," "Sin Alma," "Al final del día," "Aquí nos quedamos," "Estadio en el Desierto" and "Temporeras."
Fábula, represented by Juan de Dios Larraín, with: "La Princesita," "Neruda" and "Una mujer fantástica;" Invercine, represented by Esteban Larraín, with the films: "Mary & Mike" and "El fotógrafo de Dios." Also part of the delegation, Josephine Schroeder of Cinestación, with "1976," "Tarde para morir joven," "Mar," "San Cristóbal," "Lo que queda," "La última Tierra;" Producer Karina Yuri –representing Miguel Littin and his production house, Miguel Littin Eirl, who will attend with "Allende en su laberinto;" StoryBoard, represented by Gabriela Sandoval, with "La mujer de Barro," "El Paraíso" and "Forastero," represented by Gregorio González with: "No soy Lorena," "Aurora," "Tierra Yerma," "Mucha ex poco Sex" and "Invumche."
The rest of the delegation is comprised by 21 directors and producers, among these, Marcia Tambutti, director of "Allende, mi abuelo Allende," the only national feature in the official selection of the Director’s Fortnight; Mariana Tejos (producer) and Ignacio Juricic (director), with the short film, "Locas perdidas," competing in Cinéfondation along with school films from all over the world. Also attending, Manuela Martelli, Ignacio Rodríguez, Matías Rojas Valencia and Teresita Ugarte, selected directors of the Chile Factory program, produced in alliance with the Cannes Director’s Fortnight, CinemaChile, The Culture and Arts National Council and Quijote Films.
In regards to new talents, Rodrigo Espinosa, director of Dirac (Cultural Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), confirms their support, “Chilean filmmaking has shown undeniable growth, which translates into ongoing presence on International festivals, receiving awards and extending widely within distribution circuits. For Dirac, it’s fundamental to contribute to the visibility of a new generation of creators, who reflect in their works the different realities and problems of our current Chilean society. We proudly present, via these new talents, our sponsorship to national cinema."
Chile Factory
Within the Chile Factory project, The four Chilean filmmakers were selected: Manuela Martelli, Ignacio Rodríguez, Matías Rojas Valencia and Teresita Ugarte, they each co-directed a short film with a foreign director. Their premieres will take place at the Cannes Director’s Fortnight. The Taipei Factory and the Nordic Factory preceded this initiative unheard of in Chile; these are milestones that highlight the trajectory of these four productions that will represent our country. The Factory aims to reveal new talents through a selective workshop that concludes with a feature film made collectively by all four national directors and four international directors. Each pair creates a 15-minute short film that gives way to the Chile Factory feature, which will have its international premiere at the Directors’ Fortnight opening.
“The Cannes Film Festival is the most important showcase and gathering point for the international audiovisual industry in the world. The Chile Film Commission is part of these efforts to foster the promotion done by the national audiovisual industry, reinforcing Chile’s positive image, which is not only seen as privileged with spectacular filming locations, but also relying on a powerful and united filming community that meets international standards, ready to take on the most demanding international productions on Chilean soil," said Joyce Zylberberg, Chilean Film Commission General Manager.

Things have been better for Thing. Not to mention for Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and the Human Torch. Over the course of the past year in the “The Fall of the Fantastic Four” story line, the Ff was forced to vacate their home and headquarters in the Baxter Building. The government took custody of Reed and Sue’s children Franklin and Valeria. Johnny lost his powers. Ben was accused of murdering the Puppet Master. Oh yeah, and they’re wearing these silly red costumes.
But even though “The Fall of the Fantastic Four” is a massive year-long epic, it still has some quiet moments. In Fantastic Four v 5 #12, we find one of those moments. Find it, in all places, on Ryker’s Island. I know what you’re saying, Ryker’s Island is the New York island prison that sits in the East River, what kind of quiet moment could we find there?...

Despite impressive set pieces, Moonfleet's concluding chapter fails to make much impact...
This review contains spoilers.
Previously on Moonfleet... Pistols! Smuggling! Hangings! Brandy! Nudity! More pistols! There, you're all caught up now. And you do need to keep up, as Sky One's buckswashling drama moves like a runaway brandy barrel. It means it's never dull, but it does feel rushed at the expense of some of the more dramatic beats. There's no chance to savour any of the few emotions present.
Moonfleet feels like it's going through the motions; rattling from one set piece to another rapidly but mechanically. That's probably because Elzevir Block and John Trenchard don't feel like characters in control of their own fate, but puppets with the twin hands of good luck and misfortune thrust up them. Something happens, to which Ray Winstone responds with a growl and...

Richard Gere’s extraordinary talent and remarkable career deserves to be recognized. This year his outstanding performance in “Arbitrage” has been embraced by both the critics and the public at large. Gere plays the most self-serving Wall Street bastard since Gordon Gekko in Nicholas Jarecki’s “Arbitrage.” Actor and humanitarian Richard Gere can currently be seen starring in Nicholas Jarecki’s “Arbitrage” opposite Susan Sarandon and Tim Roth. Gere is known for his diversity of roles, from his Golden Globe winning performance in “Chicago” to the critically acclaimed “Pretty Women,” “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “American Gigolo,” and “Primal Fear.” He was last seen in “Amelia” alongside Hilary Swank and Ewan McGregor and in Anton Fuqua’s “Brooklyn’s Finest,” starring Don Cheadle and Ethan Hawke.
