Over at Sitges this year, Abel Ferrara received their highly prestigious Time Machine Award and had his new feature (in this case a documentary) CHELSEA ON THE ROCKS screen. Still seems odd at how criminally under seen and under appreciated King of New York has been after all these years… I absolutely love this film!

Academy Award winner Christopher Walken (”The Deer Hunter“) stars as coolly charismatic crime leader Frank White, who devises a unique plan to become the most powerful man in New York, in the highly original crime thriller KING OF NEW YORK.

This followup to Public Enemy Number One (Part 1) hits French theaters on November 19th and the US release should be sometime next year from Senator Entertainment depending on how they plan to release both parts 1 and 2. Everyone I’ve spoken to that saw part one in this series at the Toronto International Film Festival has absolutely raved about it and placed it in their top 2-3 films they’ve seen there. Any film described as a mix between The Outfit and Scarface gets my attention and I can’t wait to see this complete series!

Stop the presses, Linda Haynes has resurfaced! Very quietly on her IMDb listing (view here), three new pictures of her have appeared only days ago. Wow! She still certainly still looks great!!! I imagine if we can ever figure out where she is she will surely be invited on down for some screenings of her films at the Alamo Drafthouse where Rolling Thunder is still shown ever so often.

WILLIAM DEVANE as Major Charles Rane and LINDA HAYNES as Linda, the girl who tries to help him find the killers of his wife and son.

Crows Zero, the latest in the recent slate by Takashi Miike can next be seen at the upcoming Sitges Film Festival in October. Fans in the US will more than likely have their first chance to see it on DVD with no real theatrical plans that I know of happening anywhere.
