Trailer Park: Sample This
Jam on it! J-J-Jam on it! Documentary looking at the influence of the Incredible Bongo Band's classic version of Apache on hip hop.
SAMPLE THIS is the true story of how unknown music producer Michael Viner brought together the greatest studio musicians of the 1970's to create an album that ultimately went nowhere…until the summer of 1973, when DJ Herc took the percussion breaks from that obscure album and extended them by playing them back to back. His beats became an anthem on the streets of the Bronx and ultimately the genre of Hip Hop, becoming one of the most sampled tracks in history and used by artists from Will Smith and Missy Elliott to Amy Winehouse and Jay-Z.

Second Run DVD are delighted to announce that our next release will be JindÅ™ich Polák’s pioneering 1963 Czech sci-fi film IKARIE XB 1 on September 23.
JindÅ™ich Polák's much-imitated feature is one of the cornerstones of contemporary sci-fi cinema. Adapted from StanisÅ‚aw Lem's 1955 novel The Magellanic Cloud, and predating Gene Rodenberry's Star Trek and Kubrick's 2001, Ikarie's influence can be seen on both

Douglas Trumbull: UFOTOG
Short looking at FX legend Douglas Trumbull's plans to get some HD UFO footage. Good idea. More details of a feature-length drama he's planning (about a man who wants to film some UFOs) over at THR - shooting in 4K 3D at 120 frames per second. He's also developing "a sci-fi epic that takes place about 200 years in the future”. We're in.
UFOTOG, an acronym for UFO photography, is “based on a longer screenplay that I have” that tells the story of a man’s attempt to photograph an alien spacecraft. “He’s very smart, a serial entrepreneur, like Elon Musk. So he has the wherewithal to get a really good camera and build a system on a mountaintop.” The photographer is played by actor Ryan Winkles.

Below, Michelle Pfeiffer is married to mobster Robert De Niro and finding The Family are getting bored with a life of witness protection, even when they're hiding out in France. Directed by Luc Besson.

Trailer Park: The Americans
What's this? A US show on ITV1 on Saturday night? Heard good things about this drama following a pair of KGB spies living undercover in Washington in 1981.

Trailer Park: A Band Called Death
Interesting looking doc on the cult band described as being "punk before punk".
"Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was Death. Formed in the early ’70s by three teenage brothers from Detroit, Death is credited as being the first black punk band, and the Hackney brothers, David, Bobby, and Dannis, are now considered pioneers in their field. But it wasn’t until recently — when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of Bobby’s attic nearly 30 years after Death’s heyday — that anyone outside a small group of punk enthusiasts had even heard of them. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family chronicle, the story of Death is one of brotherly love and fierce, divinely inspired expression."

Yet another trailer for Man of Steel. This one offers a brief reprive from the wackness of the Zod Facetime viral and claws back some of the Terrence Mallick vibe from the teaser ...but this tenpole's on thin ice.

Trailer Park: The Company You Keep
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.

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).
