There are a lot of things that last year.s Silver Linings Playbook got right, and the film and its cast and crew have the awards to show for it. Should there have been a category for .Best Reminder of an Actor.s Likeability,. the re-emergence of Chris Tucker would have certainly secured the trophy. The prospect of another Rush Hour sequel still makes my skeleton groan, but I.m happy to pass on the news that his next role will be in an original comedy. Tucker will return to a leading role in Relativity Media.s Second Honeymoon, which will be directed by Phil Joanou (Gridiron Gang), no stranger to career hiatuses himself. (You might remember he directed the pretty stellar Punisher: Dirty Laundry short last year.)

On the heels of his supporting role in the TWC hit, Silver Linings Playbook, Chris Tucker has signed up to star in the comedy Second Honeymoon. To be directed by Phil Joanou (Gridiron Gang), the film's synopsis, courtesy of The Wrap, reads: Story follows a married couple who return to Antigua on their second honeymoon in an effort to spice things up. However, the legacy they left ten years ago comes back to haunt both of them, and before they know it, the trip is less about trying to reconnect with their younger, wilder selves and more about trying to get off the island alive.

Stars: Calvin Reeder, Joe Swanberg, Jas Sams | Directed by Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence
Found footage horror V/H/S has completely revitalised a played-out, repetitive style of filmmaking with six chilling anthology tales. Ti West (House of The Devil), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell The Dead) and Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way To Die) are just three of the directors to contribute to this chilling anthology.

The group begin to work their way through a series of terrifying tapes, each revealing a different short film.

Review Ryan Lambie Jan 18, 2013
An anthology of five videotaped tales of terror, V/H/S provides an uneven but chilling evening’s entertainment, Ryan writes...
A little like German children's book Struwwelpeter, V/H/S is a collection of cautionary tales, each demonstrating what happens to 20-something boys and girls when they do something naughty. In its anthology of five stories, all tied together by a sixth framing narrative, we're shown the dangers of entering strange houses, wandering into the woods, chatting up strangers in bars, and other youthful and deadly pursuits.
The collective effort of several directors, including Adam Wingard, Joe Swanberg and Ti West, V/H/S (which possibly stands for Various Horror Stories) is a new take on the kinds of portmanteau horror features we seldom see any more - Asylum, The House That Dripped Blood or Tales From The Crypt are a few great examples.

Chicago – There are a great many talented people involved in the over-hyped, underdeveloped horror anthology, “V/H/S.” It’s a sad sight to see so many gifted filmmakers assembled for a project so misguided. What could’ve been a launching pad for several exciting careers ends up being a mildly diverting curiosity well worth taping over.
Brad Miska’s concept of a “Creepshow”-style amalgam of found footage shorts is certainly promising in theory, but he falters in the execution. At an interminable running time of 116 minutes, the concept outstays its welcome several times over. Miska’s interview in the disc’s plentiful special features indicate that he wasn’t shrewd enough to cut the segments down to sharpen the pacing, while cutting others altogether.
Blu-ray Rating: 2.0/5.0
The wraparound vignette, “Tape 56,” was shot before any of the shorts had been planned, and its disjointed presence in the film is a conspicuous distraction.

Brad Miska, who runs bloody-disgusting.com, sees his fair share of horror successes and failures. It’s pretty safe to say that he knows what works and what doesn’t within the genre. So when he came up with the idea to combine the over-used but still viable found footage concept with an anthology film – which is enjoying a mini-renaissance of its own in horror, with films like The Theatre Bizarre and The ABCs of Death – and offer it up to a group of young, promising genre filmmakers that he’s been championing on his site, you can bet that people took notice of it. And when the resulting film, V/H/S, played at last year’s Sundance Festival, it floored everyone and was promptly acquired by Magnolia Pictures’ genre arm, Magnet Releasing, for a small theatrical run followed by a heavily-promoted VOD and home video release. The question that needs answering,...

Joe Swanberg, Aj Bowen, Kentucker Audley, Amy Seimetz and Gene Jones have been cast in The Sacrament, the newest film from The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers director Ti West.
The Sacrament, which is produced and will be presented by Eil Roth, has been shooting for three weeks in Savannah, Georgia. Producers also include Worldview's Christopher Woodrow and Molly Conners along with Jacob Jaffke and Peter Phok.
If you are a fan of West’s films, you will probably recognise a portion of the cast. Joe Swanberg starred in the “Second Honeymoon” part of V/H/S as the less-than-sympathetic half of a couple who insists on videotaping most of the road trip he’s taking with his wife. Aj Bowen played Victor in West’s The House of the Devil.

The most important thing to know about V/H/S is that it is more than the sum of its gimmicky-on-paper parts, which include found footage film, genre anthology, and snuffy homage to the recent history of lo-fi horror. Although it is not entirely free of the inherent unevenness of the omnibus film, V/H/S works surprisingly well as a whole because of consistency in the aesthetic, clever writing, and tongue-in-cheek humor across multiple directors’ vignettes.
The setup involves a group of 20-something delinquents whose primary activity is shooting prank videos of a slightly racier nature than the likes of Jackass. When they receive an offer of cash in exchange for breaking into the house of an unknown VHS collector to retrieve a particular tape, it sounds easy enough, but the fact that the first thing they lay eyes on is a corpse in front of black-and-white TV snow is an ominous sign.

Before DVDs, before Video On Demand and before Netflix, there was the VHS revolution. It was a time when movie nerds would rush to the nearest Blockbuster (remember that place?) or the local mom and pop video store every weekend to grab the latest home video releases.
It was also before the Internet, so the only way you knew if a movie was good was by watching it yourself. For indie films that had limited or no theatrical distribution, you had to judge the book by its cover. Then the digital age came and took away a large chunk of the fun.
In comes Ti West ("House of the Devil" and the upcoming "The ABCs of Death"), Adam Wingard (director of the highly anticipated "You're Next" and "The ABCs of Death"), Joe Swanberg ("Uncle Kent," "Hannah Takes the Stairs"), Glenn McQuaid ("I Sell the Dead"), David Buckner ("The Signal"), Radio Silence...

The new horror film V/H/S combines the ‘found footage’ genre with the anthology format to terrifying effect. It has no fancy special effects and sparse use of a couple of digital demons. It’s shot with constant low-quality vertigo-inducing shaky cameras, but it’s an extraordinarily efficient horror film, a celebration of rock-bottom production values – and proof of how it doesn’t take bells and whistles to scare us. Each of the five segments is written/produced/directed by different artists who take a fractured, mixed-media approach to their respective stories, all of which are strong. The wraparound story tells of a group of anarchist criminals who are hired to steal a VHS tape from a dilapidated house. They’re told they’ll know which tape it is when they see it but what they find is a stack of tapes and a dead body in a chair.

If you’re looking for a horror movie which features a doomed house break-in, a doomed night of drunken revelry, a doomed second honeymoon, a doomed walk in the woods, a doomed long distance relationship, and a doomed attempt to attend a Halloween party, then look no further than V/H/S (actually, there’s little point looking anywhere else). This Sundance-screened, found footage anthology film, which is currently available on VOD and debuts to cinemas tomorrow was directed by, amongst others, Ti West (The Innkeepers), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell The Dead), and Joe Swanberg, who also stars in West’s sequence.

Chicago – Some of the finest names in modern independent cinema may be garnering their largest audiences to date when the anthology horror film, “V/H/S,” is released on October 5th. It combines five horror shorts with a “wraparound” tale in which an assortment of troublemaking vandals (including “Open Five” director Kentucker Audley) search a spooky house for a priceless VHS tape.
This segment, “Tape 56,” was directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, two accomplished filmmakers in their own right, who have collaborated on horror films such as “A Horrible Way to Die” and “You’re Next.” Barrett also wrote and co-produced the “V/H/S” segment entitled “The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger,” which was directed by Chicago’s own Joe Swanberg (Wingard served as photographer and sound designer). Swanberg’s film stars Helen Rogers as Emily, a young woman who attempts to show her boyfriend,...

In case you weren't aware, the horror anthology V/H/S is already available to watch on VOD, but on October 5th, you'll be able to witness the found footage horror for yourself in limited theaters across the country. We've seen the creepy trailers and a cool behind-the-scenes featurette on the various segments and the filmmakers behind them, but now we have a sweet new illustrated poster from Marvel Comics artist Esad Ribić (who has drawn for comics like Loki and Silver Surfer). This one commemorates just one part of the film, director Ti West's (The Innkeepers, House of the Devil) segment titled Second Honeymoon. Look! Here's the Second Honeymoon poster for Ti West's segment in V/H/S via Facebook: When a group of misfits is hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.

They've arrived! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Singapore, the first stop on their official tour to Southeast Asia to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. In a nod to her hosts, Kate, 30, wore a pink kimono-style dress with an orchid pattern by British designer Jenny Packham as they arrived Tuesday. One of their first stops was at the city's Botanic Gardens to view their famed orchids, including one named for the couple and one named after William's late mother, Princess Diana. The Vanda William Catherine is a free-flowering orchid hybrid of white petals with purple-red spots and a purple lip.

What was once old often becomes new again, a platitude proven by two posters that were released today. The poster for SXSW selection Nature Calls revisits the style of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s to showcase the comedy’s amazing cast, which includes Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Riggle, and the late, great Patrice O’ Neal. See poster via the film’s official Facebook page below:
Nature Calls is available on VOD on October 4th and hits theaters on November 9th.
In addition, found footage anthology V/H/S got a stunning homage to early ‘80s horror poster art in the one sheet for Ti West’s segment, Second Honeymoon.

The faux-documentary, “cinema verité” camera style is increasingly prevalent in horror flicks these days, mostly because it cuts down on budget-costs for genre filmmakers. There are various ways in which the found footage genre uses the camera to tell the story. Some let the camera do all the work while others provide interviews, commentary, and other narrative gimmicks to support the narrative.
Anthology horror films are a tricky beast. The rule of thumb is, usually only half of the segments are generally satisfying while the remainder leave a lot to be desired (save for the few successes such as Asylum, Creepshow, and Trick ‘r Treat).

Some let the camera do all the work while others provide interviews, commentary, and other narrative gimmicks to support the narrative.
Anthology horror films are a tricky beast. The rule of thumb is, usually only half of the segments are generally satisfying while the remainder leave a lot to be desired (save for the few successes such as Asylum, Creepshow, and Trick ‘r Treat).

Featuring Calvin Reeder, Hannah Fierman, Joe Swanberg, Sophia Takal, Norma C. Quinones, Helen Rogers, Chad Villella
In V/H/S, the horror anthology gets a found footage makeover thanks to Ti West, David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, and a handful of fellow indie filmmakers.
Horror anthologies have long been familiar to genre fans. As popularized by Creepshow (1982) and Amicus releases like Tales From the Crypt (1972), anthologies consist of several short segments pasted together by a framing story. Found footage is a completely separate device that first made its mark on the horror genre with Cannibal Holocaust (1980). The Blair Witch Project (1999) resurrected the technique, and it has remained popular with digital-age hits like Paranormal Activity (2007).
V/H/S combines these two styles, jumping from shaky handheld footage of one group of screaming college kids in peril to the next.

V/H/S Movie Review
13 years have passed since The Blair Witch Project introduced audiences to the shaky-cam wonders of the “Found Footage” universe. We’ve seen a recent resurgence of this horror subgenre with the success of 2009’s Paranormal Activity (review) and its subsequent sequels. Now, 2012 brings us V/H/S, “Found Footage”’s latest and possibly one of its greatest.
There’s much fun to be had with V/H/S as long as you can suspend your disbelief to “Found Footage’s Cardinal Rule”: No matter how much danger you are in, you must keep filming. The flick begins with a blue screen and a Play logo, a familiar image from the VHS heyday. Then we’re on to director Adam Wingard’s segment, “Tape 56”, where a trio of bad dudes have been hired to find a mysterious VHS tape...

V/H/S
Review by Andrew MacArthur of The People’s Movies
Stars: Calvin Reeder, Joe Swanberg, Jas Sams | Directed by Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence
Found footage horror V/H/S has completely revitalised a played-out, repetitive style of filmmaking with six chilling anthology tales. Ti West (House of The Devil), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell The Dead) and Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way To Die) are just three of the directors to contribute to this chilling anthology.
V/H/S opens with a group of criminals assaulting young women and vandalising property. They are hired by an anonymous client to break into an abandoned house and obtain a mysterious video tape. The group begin to work their way through a series of terrifying tapes, each revealing a different short film. V/H/S manages to fuse so many horror sub-genres together...

Directed by Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg and Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, Chad Villella)
USA, 2012
A collaborative anthology feature, V/H/S is essentially five short films in the “found footage” style by several established names in low budget horror, framed by narrative segments also shot in the same style. The film follows a group of misfits who go around filming wanton sexual harassment and desecration, all while filming their antics. Hired, for a measly fifty dollar reward, to burglarise a house to find a rare VHS tape, the group discover a seemingly dead man sat in front of an assortment of televisions and videos. While members of the group explore the remainder of the house, one is tasked with checking the tapes...

Directed by Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence
USA, 2011
One of the most anticipated additions to the growing pantheon of “found footage” films this year comes in the form of an anthology. V/H/S brings together some of the hottest names in indie and genre for the project conceived by Brad Miska, founder of the horror news and blog sight BloodyDisgusting.com.
V/H/S starts off with Adam Windgard (A Horrible Way to Die) providing the connective tissue for the film with his short Tape Fifty-Six. In it a group of men film themselves destroying their surroundings and sexually assaulting random women in the park before moving on to a job given to them by a nondescript third party.

The found-footage subgenre is still thriving at the box office, but with little inventiveness. Attempting to resuscitate this aesthetic, six independent filmmakers united to create a horror anthology film from an idea hatched by Bloody Disgusting’s Brad Miska. You’re Next‘s Adam Wingard, The Innkeeper‘s Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence and David Bruckner make up the team, for a horror film that features one through-line story and five, separate shorts.
The simple concept follows a reckless group of troublemakers who film themselves wreaking havoc and performing sexual exploits, in return receiving a small payment for selling these VHS tapes online. They get a promise of more money with a mission to literally find footage at a broken down house. And so begins the series of stories.

If there has ever been a likeable bus driver in New York, it’s Ralph Kramden of The Honeymooners. I’m a little young to remember this show (okay, a lot young – my parents were kids when it originally aired), but it’s definitely an agreeable oldies sitcom, even if it is in black and white.
In the 1970s, Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows, Art Carney and Jane Kean came together again to reprise their roles in The Honeymooners and film four specials for the show, each an hour long and in Color! Crazy, right? Two of the four specials are being released this week.
The first special is “Second Honeymoon.” In this episode, Ralph Kramden (Gleason) decides to do something really special for his 25th wedding anniversary and remarry his wife, Alice (Meadows). Hijinks ensue when Ralph believes he’s discovered that Alice is pregnant and neighbor/close pal Ed Norton...
