Metropolis
In exciting news for Cinema historians and lovers of classic Sci-Fi, the long thought lost original 210 minute cut of Metropolis has been located in a Buenos Aires vault. Professor Martin Koerber, who is behind the discovery and restoration, stated that "No matter how bad the condition of the material may be, the original intention of the film, including all of its minor characters and subplots, is now once again tangible for the normal viewer. The rhythm of the film has been restored,".Source: Chud.com

RIP Tartan Films
Variety reports that Tartan Films has gone out of business after more than 26 years. Tartan were responsible for an eclectic range of DVD releases, and were responsible for bringing a wide variety of Japanese and Korean action and horror movies (including the works of Takashii Miike and Park Chan Wook) to a western audience, together with introducing a new generation to classic 70's horror and exploitation with it's 'Grindhouse' label.
This is a great loss for fans of genre and foreign cinema, and hopefully someone will step up to the plate and ensure that UK and USA audiences still have access to this material.
Saw V
Teaser poster for this years entry in the Saw series. Whilst the first film was entertaining in a low budget, grimy way the sequels have become increasingly disappointing and convoluted. Still they certainly bring in the money and I assume Lionsgate will keep churning them out as long as this is the case.Source: Bloodydisgusting.com
