Peggy Sue Got Married
Interesting time travel companion to \#BTTF, held back by Coppola's pedestrian direction.
Halliwell says: It plays like and extended Twilight Zone, but with plenty of interesting details to back up and excellent leading performance.**

Good looking trailer up for Robert Redford's new thriller The Company You Keep, about 60s radicals The Weather Underground. It's star studded, but not to be confused with Raymond Pettibon's similarly star studded art flick The Whole World is Watching - Weathermen '69.

The Artist
Classy, post modern love letter to cinema, that's a couple of reels too long and not as subtle as 'Hugo'.

Trailer Park: Upstream Color

Face Off: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters V Hansel & Gretel Get Baked
Hollywood loves doing the same thing twice: Capote v Infamous; Antz v A Bug's Life; Snow White And The Huntsman v Mirror Mirror; Lincoln v Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Now here's two takes on the perils of eating candy in a house made of sweets: you've probably seen Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton getting all medieval badass - but have you seen Lara Flynn Boyle as a stoner witch with a serious case of the munchies? Asylum Films have knocked one out too (starring Dee Wallace - aka Elliott's mum in ET).

Short Attention Span Theatre: They Are The Last
@Vimeo's team have picked up on this short from @kaurimultimedia
"34 degrees 24 minutes 19 seconds South,

53 degrees, 46 minutes 40 seconds West.
Leonardo Da Costa is a lighthouse keeper stationed in Cabo Polonio, a remote cape in a stretch of Uruguayan coastline rich in shipwrecks and sunken treasures.
Cabo Polonio’s light has been guiding ships since 1881, and Da Costa is the latest in a long line of watchmen who have operated the tower with care and attention. He leads an unassuming life, the tranquility of the almost intact landscape keeping him company. Serenity and silence merge with the daily tasks and chores he carries out. Da Costa represents a rare profession that still survives in a few countries.
Take some time to appreciate a gentle and enlightening way of life, for once it is gone, it will be missed.

Tarantino Unchained
Two sides to QT's promo rounds for Django Unchained (which early reports are suggesting is pretty good) - here he is on C4 news "shutting" Krishnan Guru-Murty's "butt down", and then he's a bit more calm discussing his overall film career on Film 2013 (sounds like he's looking forward to the Tarantino Greatest Hits Boxset).
