we all know how he continued to recreate himself after leaving the university , sharpening his anti - apartheid skills in local government , amongst other things , as speaker of the municipality and interestingly enough , as the chair of the local agenda 21 committee that sought to instil a sense of the importance and urgency about our natural resource base that underpins our every activity in the city . in all these roles , and as a longstanding member of the board of trustees of midi , colin was unswerving in tackling issues with integrity and that self - same sense of principle that underscored his academic career at the university . it was his mission and his unending commitment to social justice and development , not only as an academic idea but as a reality in our city , that he conducted his contribution to the state of affairs of the city and of organisations such as midi of which he was part .

midis work has been , and always will , be about cherishing a role as a partner of those organisations such as our local and district governments , the chamber of business or the higher education sector , that are committed to our city and its future wellbeing . professor gardner came out of an academic background , and our director , professor fincham , was one of his former students at the university of natal , that learnt their trade from him . an emphatic , dedicated and wise professor in the department of english , he always instilled a sense of principle and a striving for justice throughout any course he delivered .
we have anticipated and watched with a sense of eagerness , for each of colin’s appearances at midi over the years . midi , during its brief history , has been very much a migratory entity , occupying a variety of locations around the city until we recently moved into our very own home at 33 alan paton avenue , scottsville , pietermaritzburg . to each of these entities we watched colin walk in , and over the last year , he did so with a great deal of a more laboured and measured step . nevertheless , on all those occasions , or when he so readily represented the midi cause , it was that whimsical smile , the wit , shining eyes and beneath it all , a razor sharp intellect that greeted one .
mary , we want you to know that the board of trustees and the staff at midi will remember colin for his every day sameness – a blameless , continuous commitment to excellence , with little pretension , but with such wisdom in anything he did for us . seldom was a debate at board or in the everyday work life of midi complete when colin was around , without us wanting to hear his take on the issue at hand . he was our elder statesman ; the person we – to an individual – admired and held in high esteem . but above all , as we say farewell to him today , it is with a sense of the love of life that we remember him ; we in turn loved him as a friend , a colleague , as a leader and as a visionary .

mapping the work of two vietnamese artists educated artists in the united states , tiffany chung ( b . 1969 ) and dinh q ( b . 1968 ) , professor gardner examines the ways their work folds across different times , material and subjects . chung and q’s oeuvre examines the scars of postcoloniality by interweaving actual historical situations – wars of national liberation , rationing , genocide , enforced migration , deindustrialization and natural disaster – with more virtual and heterotopic encounters , what chung evocatively defines as “an archaeology project for future remembrance . ” after deleuze and guattari , gardner calls this folding line “stratigraphy” and he emphasizes the significance of such lines that move between planes of coexistence as a material strategy for resisting aspects of the present we may which to refuse .

the definitive work on the role of installation art within contemporary culture and society .
in space , site , intervention , some of today’s most prominent art critics , curators , and artists view installation art as a diverse , multifaceted , and international art form that challenges institutional assumptions and narrow conceptual frameworks . together , the essays investigate how installation resonates within modern culture and society , as well as its ongoing influence on contemporary visual culture .
this book is a dense , varied , and fascinating labyrinth of sophisticated writing that opens up the notions of site and space to a grand panoply of new ideas . it should be required reading for anyone making or confronting installation art in the 21st century .
from ferdinand chevel’s palais idéal ( 1879 - 1905 ) and simon rodia’s watts towers ( 1921 - 1954 ) to ant farm’s cadillac ranch ( 1974 ) and richard serra’s tilted arc ( 1981 ) , installation art has continually crossed boundaries , encompassing sculpture , architecture , performance , and visual art . although unique in its power to transform both the site in which a work is constructed and the viewer’s experience of being in a place , installation art has not received the critical attention accorded other art forms .
in space , site , intervention , some of today’s most prominent art critics , curators , and artists view installation art as a diverse , multifaceted , and international art form that challenges institutional assumptions and narrow conceptual frameworks . the contributors discuss installation in relation to the genealogy of modern art , community and corporate space , multimedia cyberspace , public and private ritual , the gallery and the museum , public and private patronage , and political action . this ambitious volume focuses on issues of class , sexuality , cultural identity , race , and gender , and highlights a wide range of artists whose work is often marginalized by mainstream art history and criticism . together , the essays in space , site , intervention investigate how installation resonates within modern culture and society , as well as its ongoing influence on contemporary visual culture .
erika suderburg is professor in the department of art at the university of california , riverside , and coeditor ( with michael renov ) of resolutions : contemporary video practices ( minnesota , 1996 ) .
this wonderful book seeks to expand the definition of site - specific work while dissolving its categories . this is a monster of an undertaking and a treat to read . space , site , intervention is a huge book , which is itself a conceptual and temporal site of exchange . it is so sensitive to the reader , to so many cultural and political issues , that in just looking out the window one can imagine the impact on native americans when sighting the first fences on the vast , open prairie as the great land grab began .
in 20 essays that try to define ‘the space of electronic time , ’ ‘public art and the spectacle of money’ and ‘hidden economies in los angeles , ’ among other places and concepts , space , site , intervention : situating installation art explores the myriad directions and places in which art since the ‘60s has gone . erika suderburg , an artist who works in film and video ( among other media ) , brings together a plethora of critics , artists , and academics , who contribute clear essays on the often complicated philosophical and cultural issues addressed by environmental art , body art , art in the public sphere and other sorts of work , much of it american .
a cosmopolitan and thought - provoking examination of installation art in venues as diverse as museums and cyberspace , corporations and private patrons . this is a valuable study .

an expressive dialogue between deleuze ' s philosophical writings on cinema and beckett ' s innovative film and television work , the book explores the relationship between the birth of the event – itself a simultaneous invention and erasure - and beckett ' s attempts to create an incommensurable space within the interstices of language as a ( w ) hole .

as for the bad guys , the film falls back on that reliable hollywood stereotype , the hapless , malevolent redneck . margo ( chris mcginn ) and terry ( lew temple ) are there just to hate and laugh at , their motives as generic as the film’s title .

some say the magic number of years to wait before making a film about a youth culture is 13 . others say you just need a good script .
this occurs a few times throughout the film with frank trying to find a replacement for anna while at the same time dealing with advances from his housekeeper iris .
the fact that this film remains banned in a number of countries is proof it is the definition of extreme cinema and not something to be watched on a whim .

wow , yet again time out trashes a smart , sparky brit film . the magazine seems hate the idea of commercial films aimed at the under 30 ' s market ! i thought it was spot on
hi gamboisthatyou thank you for your review ! it ' s very useful to us to get feedback and we try to get better every day . the ibiza weekender production was a one time thing and i am sorry to hear that it made you feel uncomfortable . i can assure you that you won ' t be seen in the program if you have not signed the consent form handed out by the production company . still , i apologize for the inconvenience . we tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible and made sure that only guests that agreed are shown at the ibiza weekender next january on itv2 . i also want to apologize for the security guard . for us it is very important that we have a save hotel and that everyone enjoys his holidays in ibiza , so in general i have to stay that i feel comfortable having security at the hotel . but since in your case you had a bad experience , i ' ll talk to the security guards and make sure that in the future they will be more subtle . we want our guests to have a perfect time at our hotel and i ' ll do everything possible to guarantee that . the ibiza weekender was a one - time thing and i ' ll look into the security guards ' attitude . thank you for staying with us and hope you come back to ibiza thomas
this film is terrible , anyone that was into the house scene in 1990 will agree . the music is wrong , the fashion is wrong . in fact everything is wrong . there is such a niche to do a film about this era , and some muppet like chris coghill gets the chance and makes a mockery out of it . someone who lived the scene needs to make a film about this and it could be low budget and be massive ( just like it was , no glamour just for the love of the music and scene ) also where was the 20 inch bottom jeans and hooded psychedelic tops we all wore . eastern block , afflecks palace , spin inn records , konspiracy club ? not going to mention the hacienda because i think chris has read a book about the hac and tried to make a film . losers .
there will also be an opening night after - party at bj’s restaurant and brewhouse in hazard center at 9 p . m . both parties are open to all - access badge members and opening film ticket holders .
the opening night film is poi e : the story of our song . this documentary tells the story of a community that came together to preserve culture and language under the vision of the inspiring soul singer dalvanius prime . the song “poi e , ” which fuses maori tradition and a disco beat , topped the charts in 1984 and went on to becoming new zealand’s unofficial national anthem . the film starts at 7 p . m .
well i ' ve just seen it , loved it ! i was at primary school when the film is set so no expert on the period by any means , but it felt like they got the period right , what with the music and clothes . but it had a contemporary buzz about it as well . it ' s a film that ' s been made to just entertain , i think the reviewer kind of missed the point . . . shame
penned by actor and writer chris coghill , the film is produced by benchmark films / foundation films ' ian brady and stephen salter and alliance films ' robert walak and executive produced by xavier marchand , david hayman and mark jaffray .

in hong kong , sunday is the one day a week overseas filipino workers get to congregate in the streets to commune , crack jokes , celebrate birthdays , and , every now and then , throw beauty pageants . in the north american premiere of sunday beauty queen , director baby ruth villarama captures the details of play and fantasy between the harsh , thankless labor that so often reminds the women of the families they left behind in the philippines . the film won best picture at the 2016 metro manila film festival official selection .
two decades after the house - music rave scene touched the lives of a generation of young hedonists , the search for a definitive bigscreen tribute continues with the early - 1990s - set “weekender . ” latest low - budget feature from dublin - born karl golden sees a pair of amateur hustlers from manchester graduate from petty thieves to illegal party organizers before falling in with an opportunistic criminal gang . a modest - size nostalgic aud should come along for the ride following the pic’s edinburgh debut , at least in native blighty . attracting a younger generation of club kids to this generic tale will prove more problematic .
prieto has the lush city of new orleans and surroundings to work with , but except for some nice aerial shots of the huey p . long bridge , the film could have been shot anywhere with highways , pedestrian - cluttered streets , and ready - to - bash traffic .
“beyond the darkness” was originally released in 1979 under the original italian title “buio omega” but was released under a number of other names including “the final darkness , ” “buried alive” and “dark holocaust . ” the film still remains highly controversial and is banned in a number of countries .
rivertown film screens zero days — the story of the stuxnet computer virus . this sobering documentary focuses on the spread of computer malware – specifically stuxnet , which the u . s . and israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an iranian nuclear facility . the film asks this question : in a hypercompetitive world , when do we decide not to pursue innovation and hold back for the greater good ? after the screening , stay for the talk back with zero days director alex gibney . 8p at the nyack center , 58 depew ave at s broadway .
why give one star based on the trailer ! ? just bought the cd which is complied by terry farley no less . . . . . seems the film has got all the tracks from the trailer . . . so i ' ll defer to mr f ' s expertise !
the seventh annual san diego asian film festival spring showcase will be taking over ultrastar at hazard center for eight days with over 20 films from 10 countries . this year’s program is the largest one yet , ranging from socially - minded documentaries to uplifting comedies and award - winning films .
as other reviewers have already pointed out , this film is a million miles away from the rave scene in 1990 . the fashion and music are both completely incorrect for the time . how can somebody making a film get the simple things so wrong ? chris coghill is a clown . he obviously has no first hand experience of the time and has clearly compiled a film from reading accounts from people who weren ' t there either . to add insult to injury his other offering is ' spike island ' . another film in which he gets things completely wrong . there ' s enough material on the internet if you want to see and hear what things were really like in the late 80 ' s / early 90 ' s , just don ' t rely on any of coghill ' s work to paint a true picture . back to the film . not much i can say really . badly acted with a poor plot . the list of mistakes is endless . did the makers not consider watching some videos from the time ? watch how the people danced back then . look at the fashion and the hairstyles . sorry , i ' m starting to rant again . it ' s just so frustrating when someone gets something so simple completely wrong and misleads those who didn ' t experience such a great time in british youth culture . do yourself a favour and save 90 minutes of your life by avoiding this rubbish .
i was living in manchester & leeds from 1989 to 1993 ( from age 18 to age 22 ) - i thought this film was a brilliant recreation of that time - some of the tunes came a bit later but the soundtrack was amazing - brought back loads of memories for me and my friend ( both in our 40s now ! ) - jack o ' connell plays his part brilliantly right down to the bowl cut hairdo and football gear - i was also part of ibiza ' 90 - i feel that this film represents the time just before the rave scene went overground and people started to make huge amounts of money from drugs and ripping people off - anybody who was up north in ' 90 and part of this scene will know what i mean - a cracking film - brought a real smile to our faces . freedom to party : )
i ' ve just finished watching this film , and it greatly surpassed my expectations that previous reviews / ratings had given . the film is essentially about a group of mates who decide to host a warehouse rave in the early 90 ' s , realise that they made easy money from partying so continue with it . for a while all goes well until eventually it all gets a bit much for them as fights over drug dealing begin to escalate , with the stress of the situation eventually tearing the characters apart . all in all this film is entertaining to watch , and if you have knowledge of the scene you ' ll easily be reminded of some of the best times of your life . as well as entertaining some of the characters were fantastic , i won ' t go into detail , but you really can ' t help but hate the antagonist , especially as we ' ve all had experiences with people like that , thinking they ' re better than other people and forgetting what made the party great in the first place . this film isn ' t perfect , but definitely worth watching if you enjoyed human traffic , although it is noticeably darker
flynn : we have a film called “tree” that is one of the more remarkable vr experiences i’ve had . no spoilers , but there are a lot of different sensory elements to it — it’s a fully immersive experience of being a 150 - year - old - tree in the rainforest .
chadwick : the collaboration between the festival programming and the forum programming is remarkable . we’re putting together films that have synergies , with q - and - as , where we don’t just slate a film but see the films as part of a larger conversation on the art of the real .

why chris coghill even attempted this as a film is beyond me . to say it ' s a ' poor man ' s human traffic ' or ' an account of the rave scene as seen by your great - aunt ' are complete understatements . it ' s features range from bad acting to badly chosen music ( it ' s meant to be 1990 , and half the tunes are from ' 92 onwards ) i ' m surprised i lasted watching it as long as i did . i put this down to being ill and couldn ' t be bothered to move . it ' s also a who ' s - who of annoying telly actors . . . i ' m surprised coghill didn ' t cast himself . imdb say i must write ten lines about this film , but i ' m really struggling without swearing . it ' s bad . . . don ' t watch it . . . human traffic made me miss the 90s , if this film was true - to - life it would make me feel like i had missed the 90s .
well i ' ve seen it and was thoroughly entertained , its not a documentary on the music as some of these comments seem to want , just a fun journey of two lads who get caught up in the rave / club scene . if you bother to watch the film you ' ll see why the ( fantastic ) music spans a few years ! !
our annual celebration of the alt - wonderful world of artist film is crammed with special guests , premieres and discussions . we launch with artist clara casian and musician robin richard’s new collaboration , birdsong – stories from pripyat , featuring footage captured in the famously abandoned ‘ghost city’ adjacent to the chernobyl power plant blended with archive material and unique soundtrack by a live quartet .
a short satisfying romp . deceptively satisfying as the ending is not so . i really got to like the characters and would have hoped for a better resolve , alas the pill bashing , money grubbing , bouncer smashing film came to a very bad ending . fine good - looking believable cast and a great development of the relationships between characters , especially between matt and dylan who i enjoyed watching as a fun boyish pair . there was a lot of good music , pretty girls and heavy drugs which made for an exciting yet hardly novel adventure . i ' m not sure if i recommend this film as it ' s finalle isn ' t really a finalle atall . it ' s like a really well built up tune that once fully ascended drops into nothing but a whistle and rolling credits .
sean flynn : there’s been a big growth in terms of artist support programs , like the camden / tfi retreat ( in collaboration with the tribeca film institute ) , and we’ve launched a collaboration with kickstarter and the school of visual arts in new york to help filmmakers of color travel here to connect with those in the industry . just more projects and more support for artists in their creative process .
considering house music’s far - reaching impact , worthwhile film representations have been few and far between . michael winterbottom’s “24 hour party people” ( 2002 ) , also set in manchester , captured the scene as part of its lively chronicle of seminal record label factory . justin kerrigan’s fondly remembered “human traffic” ( 1999 ) eschewed origin - story nostalgia , opting instead for a celebration of a lost weekend in cardiff , wales .
first off , let me say that i ' m absolutely shocked that this is rated only 4 . 8 / 10 . this movie is bloody fantastic . i can guarantee that this will become a cult film in the future the same way requiem for a dream is today . while not without flaws , this movie has so much to offer someone looking for a good time . it starts out with the 2 main characters dillon and matt getting into the uk underground rave scene . they meet up with captain awesome and begin hosting their own raves . that ' s when the fun begins . there are so many twists and turns , and epic moments in the film that i won ' t spoil anything . give this movie a chance and you may find that you really enjoyed it , a guilty pleasure with a great ending .
also , “heroin ( e ) ” is a short documentary by elaine sheldon that’s been picked up by netflix about three women on the front lines of the opioid crisis in west virginia . it’s the best film in years on this story , it has parallels to what’s going on in maine , and we’re bringing in front - line leaders in maine for a discussion about the novel conversations and solutions being done already in the state .
on the eighth and final day of the spring showcase , the closeout film will be gook , directed by justin chon ( the twilight saga , 21 & over , seoul searching ) . this asian - american dramedy takes place on april 29 , 1992 , the day of the los angeles riots . it follows eli and kamilla , two individuals caught between the black - asian divide exacerbated by the mainstream media and the frustrations of poverty .
this film is far better than i expected it to be . i thought it would be ok having read some of the press reviews , but the storyline was far better , the characters interesting , intriguing and you definitely cared what happened to them as it got darker . ok i ' ve never been to a rave or taken the drugs , but am of that generation - but have been to plenty of clubs , all night parties etc so think they recreated ' the scene ' ok . it was very well shot & edited , and some really cool little bits of camera action that take things a bit further on than guy ritchie might do to tie trips abroad etc nicely into the rest of the film . saw it on dvd - reckon they ' d be wicked on bluray ! anyway well worth buying - i shall be recommending it highly to friends . . . great soundtrack too !
fowlie : “this is congo” is from a journalist - turned - first - time - filmmaker named daniel mccabe . it’s a complex portrait of the m23 rebellion that is just a remarkable achievement for someone so early in his career . he had incredible access , and it articulates both sides really well in a very cinematic way . mccabe will be here along with his congolese “fixer , ” who had to leave the country due to his participation in the film .
despite o’connell’s natural charisma , increasingly idiotic dylan is hard to care about , while lloyd - hughes’ matt , who briefly narrates , proves an unexceptional point of identification . despite having been apparently inspired by fables from clubland’s rich history , several plot - points fail to convince , while the film lacks the wild energy that might more easily permit instances of “print the legend” embroidering . contributing the most vivid character , and the most persuasively interesting performance , is batt as the quietly menacing john .
i saw this film in the local dvd hire shop and thought ' wow ' this looks good acid house music , 1990 , the guy out of eden lake , it should be good . this film could have been amazing , there were too many anachronisms ( the phone box , the bank notes , the vehicles that can be seen on the amsterdam scene and the majority of the soundtrack ! notably nakasaki from 1995 ) . the warehouse scenes were poor , no gurners , no sweaters no wide eyed crazy dancers . the costumes could have been better i was expecting acid face t shirts , shell suits , baggy jeans and some curtains or mushroom haircuts . on the plus side i liked dylan ' s hair do , the acting was good from the main characters , john the rat and his mob looked the part . younger audiences will probably enjoy this but as someone who was around in 1990 wearing a shell suit and listening to tunes on a walkman i wanted more .
indie studio filmrise quietly dropped a trailer today for a new james franco thriller , the vault , which is set to drop on - demand on september 1 . normally this kind of trailer / imminent release date is a one - two punch signifying . . . bluntly . . . the movie may not be all that good . but what starts out as a very
been there , done that
- looking film takes a major turn , and i & apos ; m extremely here for it . here we go :
i don ' t think they nailed the drug scene accurately , but its a cool film none the less . i liked the music and sound track . i liked the venues and different locations . the plot was easy to follow and i didn ' t get bored at all . difficult to compete with the original human traffic movie but i collect clubbing movies so i can happily add this one to my movies shelf ; - ) i don ' t really have much more to say about it . i have no idea why i must write 10 lines of review .
fowlie : immersion is what you can have here . with a festival pass , you can bounce from a film to a master class to a reception to a party . it’s one community built up around all this programming , and the pieces are more integrated than ever before . but there’s also a reason why we decided to start the festival in a small town and then grow it — we wanted to provide accessibility . we’re growing larger , and deeper , with more filmmakers and more strands of different types of filmmaking , but we’re still where anyone can plug in — for one or two screenings or for the whole festival — and have a transformative experience .
as far as i , m concerned the film was cool it gave an idea as to how impulsive and mental the seen was whether it be rave , acid hordcare , jungle , it all came from the same thinking of the freedom to party and the music was mad mental and still brings a big gurning grin to my face just thinking and listening to it even now , and whether it be 1988 - 89 or later , cos it was a time when girls stoped dancing round there handbags and when white man found out he could dance lol so . . . . . . . . . does it really matter on being anal about dates , cos if you can remember then you really was not there .
charming little bit of early 90 ' s nostalgia that deserves far more than the 3 out of 10 currently being offered up by imdb users . i can only assume that the people giving this film low ratings were not the people who were partying in the early 90 ' s - if they were they ' d be rating it far higher just from the nostalgia perspective . great soundtrack that pretty much corresponded chronologically ( except for kendo nagasaki which was a much later track , but hey its a great track so who ' s complaining ! ! ) . no where near as dark as trainspotting and less schmaltzy than human traffic this is well worth a watch if you are looking for a trip down memory lane or if you fancy an glimpse of how it was .

ok , we ' re 40 seconds in and kariya , baby let me love you for tonight , one of the greatest records from this era is playing . this movie is going to be amazing , i can tell . . . this however is the highlight . the acting starts , if you can call it acting . the characters are pathetic , and it ' s not the actors fault as i have looked at their bios on imdb and they have done decent work before , so the fault can only be laid at the feet of the director . the character development stopped and started at loading a stolen cigarette machine into the back of a van . all other characters were ugly , uninteresting , and offered little to no acting skills also and can only think they were friends of the director that had an afternoon spare . after 45 minutes i was struggling to think of a reason not to press stop on the remote . i lived through this era , and not for a second ( after the intro ) did the movie transport me back . stick with human traffic to see how it should be done .
i was there and this is not what it was like at all , this movie fails to capture the rush of it . poor acting , bad plot & poor choice of music . the reviewer who said it will become a cult classic is having a laugh , maybe he wrote this rubbish . not very original and poorly executed . not worth wasting your time , just watch human traffic . i struggled to stay with it until the end . character relationships and development were not believable , a sorry effort all round . i went in with high hopes but it was very disappointing .
i ' m not sure how i come across this movie but i can safely say , it is a must watch . from start to finish its amazing . you follow matt and dillon through highs and lows . i don ' t want to spoil it for you so watch it , you wont be disappointed . plus the music is great , makes you want to go out and party ! things start off with m + d ( matt and dillon ) doing what they can to make money with their friend to pay into a rave . m + d then come up with the idea of holding their own rave and thats when the trouble starts but also the good times . you follow their journey from warehouse party kings to the up and coming mass raves in amsterdam but the money comes at a price . anyway , thats all i have to say but like i ' ve said , watch it and see for yourself . my favourite movie of all time and a must watch . you will not be disappointed .

plot perks up with the arrival of londoner gary mac ( stephen wight ) , who invites the boys to sunny ibiza to show them what club hedonism is really all about . significant conflict is belatedly introduced in the form of john the rat ( ben batt ) , a local thug who muscles his way into the valhalla operation , driving a wedge between idealistic matt and cocaine - abusing dylan . the gravitational pull of matt’s girlfriend ( emily barclay , “in my father’s den” ) further tests the pair’s friendship .

halle berry stars as a mother in pursuit of her abducted child in “kidnap . ”
one of the oldest button - pushing devices in cinema is the endangered child motif ; it not only exploits a parent’s worst fears , it also taps into the suppressed anxieties adults may have had as children . spanish director luis prieto ( “the disunited states of america , ” “pusher” ) and screenwriter knate lee ( “x - men : the new mutants” ) belabor this concept to ludicrous and bathetic extremes in the seemingly endless ( though only 82 minutes long ) and listless thriller , “kidnap . ”
karla dyson ( halle berry ) possesses a very particular set of skills , skills acquired over a very long career , skills that make her a nightmare . . . . actually , she’s a waitress in a new orleans hash house . but she’s also a mother , a mother utterly devoted to her son frankie ( sage correa ) as a lengthy opening montage of cooing home movies of his first six years makes amply clear .
nonetheless , dyson’s attentiveness slips for a few moments when they are in the park . she’s distracted by a call from a lawyer informing her that her estranged husband wants to take full custody of the child ( it seems he and his new girlfriend don’t think she has the financial wherewithal to match her maternal passion ) . in that unguarded moment abductors slip away with her son in a battered ’80s mustang and the terrified mother goes in hot pursuit in her minivan .
she’s off to a rough start ( she loses her cellphone , otherwise this would be an even shorter movie ) , but in short order she develops driving expertise that would be the envy of characters in the “fast & furious” franchise . the pursuit is rough on the minivan and on innocent bystanders and on dyson herself , as dust - ups and collisions turn her face into a bloody mask . it won’t do much for the oscar - winning ( “monster’s ball , ” 2002 ) berry’s reputation either , as her many close - ups reveal emotions ranging from tear - stained terror to tear - stained rage to tear - stained determination , repeated as necessary .
the globe ' s top picks for what to see and do each weekend , in boston and beyond .
maybe if the filmmakers suggested that these villains were once children with mothers themselves , it might have made their crime , and the chase that ensues , less one - dimensional .
directed by luis prieto . written by knate lee . starring halle berry , sage correa , chris mcginn , lew temple . at boston common , fenway , suburbs . 82 minutes . r ( violence and peril ) .
as easy as it is to be sidetracked by a mustachioed franco and what i can only describe as a
weird
accent ( though nowhere near as weird as his tommy wiseau ) , the real star here is the big ol & apos ; switcheroo this trailer pulls on us halfway through . this ain & apos ; t no by - the - numbers heist survival movie . this is a mind - game horror in which franco unleashes a mysterious , otherworldly evil upon the ill - mannered thieves in the basement of his bank . almost everything else in this trailer is indecipherable nonsense , and that & apos ; s fine . i can wait .
the vault will be everywhere on september 1 , especially in my house . feel free to come over .

comedian wanda sykes to perform at f . m . kirby center in wilkes - barre
“beyond the darkness” follows taxidermist frank wyler as he deals with the death of his beloved fiancée anna völkl who dies suddenly of an illness in the hospital . it is revealed to the audience that she was actually killed via a voodoo doll that was handled by frank’s jealous housekeeper , iris .
frank in his grief stricken state decides it would be a great idea to dig up anna’s body , bring her back to the house , and preserve her to have and to hold forever . while the notion may be romantic and prove love never dies , sleeping beside a corpse is sickness .
firmly planted in the grotesque camp , frank decides to bring random women back to the house and while enjoying time together shows them the preserved lifeless body of anna . unsurprisingly the women panic and frank disposes of them in violent bursts of anger and gore .
the plot is extremely thin and seems to drive toward the repulsive and violent set pieces all with a bizarre underlying sexual tension on display .
“beyond the darkness” is far from a classic in any genre but it is beloved by those who enjoy gorier horror films that go far beyond what many are used to seeing in the theater . the popularity of such exploitation films stretches far and wide .
it should be noted that the soundtrack is incredible and is performed by the prog rock band goblin made famous in other italian horror classics such as “deep red” and “suspria . ”
