Based on what we’re hearing from Disney, the seventh and final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, now on Disney Plus, will be with us on February 17th, 2020. One of the more challenging aspects of the animated series, though, is that you won’t get a chronological experience by just following the released episode order. Thankfully, then, we now have a correct viewing order courtesy of the official Star Wars site, which tells us all you need to know to catch up on The Clone Wars before its return.
The Clone Wars bridges the gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, providing a significant level of detail for anyone wondering what was going on in between the two prequel movies. When aired, episodes could often be bundled together as arcs, linked by one-off episodes that might explore a different part of the galaxy adjacent...

Star Wars Resistance continues more table-setting plotting, but at least this episode sets up for the endgame.
Games
This Star Wars Resistance review contains spoilers.
Star Wars Resistance Episode 18
Star Wars is anything but subtle, but with so many people out there who fail to grasp the parallels, “The Disappeared” has Stormtroopers bursting into taverns and forcing them to display very ominous, very Nazi-like military propaganda on the counter.
It’s red and glowing, depicting three “proud” First Order soldiers standing in a row, with the clarion call to others to join, to be a part of something bigger. You really can’t get more clear than that. The only thing that Star Wars Resistance failed to do was introduce these kinds of visuals earlier, to really get the sense of the First Order’s slowly overpowering, suffocating, dangerous presence.
The background stuff is finally starting become the foreground stuff.

A decade ago, Johnny Kevorkian's impressed us with the release of his feature film debut The Disappeared (review) and now the director has returned with another frightening vision: Await Further Instructions.

What was it about Gavin Williams’s script for Await Further Instructions you liked so much, and what did you add to make it more personal to you?
Well, when I first read the script I thought: “How the hell am I going to make this!” It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I knew it was going to be a massive challenge in every way possible. Overall, this was a very unusual script and that also appealed to me. My main addition to the script was to push it in a much darker and serious tone overall, which is more my style of filmmaking. I’m pleased that I managed to retain the dark humour at the start but then move into a different and much more serious realm as things start getting nastier for the family.

In this round-up we have two exclusive excerpts from horror-thrillers. First up is Neil Gibson's graphic novel Twisted Dark Vol. 5, followed by Vaughn Entwistle's The Angel of Highgate. Also: five new images from Await Further Instructions.
Twisted Dark Volume Five: "Twisted Dark is a series of interconnected psychological thrillers, perfect for fans of twist endings and comics that reveal more on the second reading. Each story stands alone, but the more you read, the more connections you see between the characters. There are over 100 characters that appear more than once and one of the joys of reading is when you spot a reference that you know others will have missed. A rotating team of talented artists draw the stories, with each style offering something new."
Twisted Dark Vol. 5 will be released by TPub Comics in February. To read the first half of Twisted Dark Volume 1, visit: http://goo.gl/Zo...

Looks like we're going to be waiting a bit longer than first anticipated for Dark Castle's next ghostly cinematic gathering for Warner Bros.
The studio that Bugs built has pulled Todd Lincoln's The Apparition from its 2011 release slate and bumped it to the more frightening time (just in case the Mayans were right) of 2012. The exact date remains undetermined, but hopefully we'll see it before the impending apocalypse.

For the fifth year running, we tally up the Other Year's Best -- the films that made it to DVD (or onto U.S. home video in any format) but not to theatrical, which generally meant they posed too much of a marketing challenge. As in, the films were either too odd, too original, too archival, too subtle, too something. DVDs still stand as our go-to B-movie-distribution stream of choice, although as I've barked every year, video debuts are still not eligible for any year-end toasts or trophies. Except ours.
10. "Parking" (Chung Mong-hong, Taiwan) At first blush a Taiwanese riff on "After Hours," this measured little odyssey is more realistic, evoking those all-night odysseys we've all had, when time evaporates and tiny logistical dilemmas drive us insane and eventually it's morning and something about our lives is different.

One flick we're hoping stands a ghost of a chance at the box office next year is Todd Lincoln's The Apparition. Though we revealed the first two images from the film last week, information has been pretty scant thus far. However, that changed a bit today.
In an interview with The La Times star Tom Felton dropped the following on curious fans:
"It’s a sci-fi thriller with a dash of horror, and we shot it in Berlin,” Felton said of the film. “It’s based around the paranormal. Ashley Greene from the ‘Twilight’ films is the lead, and Sebastian Stan is in it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. My character is the instigator of all the madness, all the experiments, and he’s in search of proof, and, of course, that leads to the downfall of the group. It’s kind of in the tradition of ‘Flatliners,...

Rejuvenated Hammer Films franchise launches publicity campaign as part of a summer of hair-raising new releases from UK directors and writers
Hammer Films are to launch a summer publicity campaign ahead of what is being billed as a full-blown revival of the alternative British horror genre. A welter of horror films are scheduled for release this summer, while Ghost Stories, the theatrical show whose programme carries a warning to those of a nervous disposition, is packing in audiences for its West End run.
Joe Cornish, of the comedy duo Adam and Joe, is to make his directorial debut with Attack the Block, a film produced by the team behind Shaun of the Dead, and a reborn Hammer Films, once the greatest film studio in British horror, is to make a 3D feature film based on Susan Hill's modern gothic novel The Woman in Black.

Profound Desires Of The Gods
Eureka, Blu-Ray
With most films you can guess when they were made, to within five years, just by looking at them. Some films, however, are so locked into their own little world, so perfectly and unwaveringly delivered, that you'd be hard-pressed to date them with any accuracy. This near-forgotten classic from Shohei Imamura (better known for Pigs & Battleships and the incredible 1979 serial killer film Vengeance Is Mine) slides easily into the latter category. Released to mass bafflement and public indifference in 1968 after an indulgent 18-month production schedule, it looks and feels as if it could have been made any time within the past five decades. Set on a fictional island near Okinawa, the tale concerns a Tokyo engineer sent to oversee the construction of a well for a sugar mill. His encounters with a shamed local family provide a story that touches on both farce and allegory.

Low-key concepts and limited budgets have given British horror films a gritty realism that is the envy of the industry – but can they ever really compete with their Us rivals?
Unlike the western or the musical, the horror movie never seems to be under threat of extinction. The occasional phenomenon – a Blair Witch Project or a Paranormal Activity – helps to fortify its commercial appeal, as do hits like Scream or Hostel, which refresh the familiar conventions. But horror remains in perpetually good nick, not least in its UK outpost, from which some of the most inventive shockers of the last 10 years have emerged. Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later kicked off a new wave of Brit horror in 2002, but it fell to emerging film-makers to properly paint the town blood-red, from Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) to Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent), Michael J Bassett (Deathwatch, Wilderness) and Christopher Smith (Creep,...

Movies are Saturday night-wasting entertainment and they're transcendent mega-art, but they're also history, living tissues of the past that overpower any other medium we have for preserving experience and retaining cultural memory. This is no small matter, despite the relatively slight influence that film's historical potential has in the consumer marketplace, which is virtually defined by its amnesia. "Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives" (1977), then, is a gift, not just a film preserved and sold as product, but a piece of the 20th century that will now never quite fade completely from view.
Shot and assembled by a six-person collective (including Rob Epstein, later director of "The Times of Harvey Milk" and "Common Threads"), this film is as simple as it is expansive: amidst the definitive stirrings of the gay rights movement, the filmmakers sat down with 26 gay men and women -- young and old, fat and skinny,...

DVD Playhouse—May 2010

Avatar (20th Century Fox) James Cameron beat his own title as box office champ, set with Titanic over a decade ago, with this eye-popping sci-fi epic about a paraplegic Marine name Sully (Sam Worthington), who takes the form of an “avatar,” or virtual being, to go undercover on the planet Pandora, attempting to infiltrate the native Na’vi to gather intelligence that will aid a joint corporate and military operation to rape the planet of its natural resources, destroying its indigenous population in the process. When Sully suddenly “goes native,” he locks horns with the company CEO (Giovanni Ribisi) and his gung-ho commanding officer (Stephen Lang, in a wonderful, scenery-chewing turn from a long-underrated actor). Thought of by many scholars and film buffs as a “game-changer” as much as the first Star Wars film was—and they may be right. While Cameron’s politically-correct...

After their remarkable BAFTA award-winning short About a Girl (Best British Short Film, Eiff 2001) and successful careers working in television, director Brian Percival and writer Julie Rutterford's latest feature is a sympathetic study of a young boy's unexpected and accelerated ascent into adulthood.

Expect the UK as producer of quality films - and in the genre 'coming-of-age', there is no competition. I'll get to some of the year's best - featuring Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank (Katie Jarvis), plus mentions including last year's Dummy (Aaron Johnson and Thomas Grant) and the thriller The Disappeared (with Harry Treadaway), but our featured trailer comes from a film which received both glowing reviews and some disappointments - A Boy Called Dad.

Brit director Johannes Roberts made waves in the horror scene a few years back when he created the first Mobile phone series, When Evil Calls. Then in 2007, Roberts worked that series into an extended feature starring Sean Pertwee and Dominique Pinon, which was released by Lionsgate. What he has been working on recently has been a bit of mystery... until now.
His new film is simply titled F (as in the grade) and it looks to be the latest endeavor in Britain's recent wave of what I'm now coining as "hooligan horror" (see Eden Lake). We have received a small synopsis from Roberts, but I can't help but wonder if it will be a revenge movie where a humiliated teacher exacts some justice and hands out fails to all of his rowdy pupils. That would be sweet.

[Editor's note: The Disappeared premiers on IFC On Demand on Wednesday, July 15th. We like this one. Review here.]
Back in August of last year, Qe managed to get in on the UK premiere of Johnny Kevorkian's urban ghost story, The Disappeared at the Frightfest in London. Review here. The film went down a treat and was a highlght of the festival, Imho. A few weeks later Qe managed to catch a busy, and somewhat relieved Mr. Kevorkian, (no relation), for a coffee and a chat to discuss this very British film.
Qe: Where did the seed of the idea for The Disappeared originate?
Jk: Myself and Neil Murphy, the Producer had had a really bad experience of a film script that we had optioned. I'm not going to mention the name. We'd tweaked the script and made it much better, but then we lost the funding and it was very, very frustrating. We said to ourselves that we couldn't keep on getting other people's scripts and spending...
