Synopsis: A man prepared to commit a profound act of hatred unexpectedly discovers compassion and understanding in this drama from Israeli filmmaker Dror Zahavi. Tarek (Shredi Jabarin) is an Arab man in his early twenties who left behind a promising career in soccer to join a radical terrorist group. Tarek volunteers to be a suicide bomber and travels from Tulkarem to Tel Aviv, planning to explode himself in the Carmel Market on a busy Saturday morning. However, Tarek's bomb turns out to be a dud, and he's left stranded with nowhere to go. Looking for a place to spend the night, Tarek is befriended by Katz (Shlomo Vishinsky), an aging electrician who lost his only son to fighting against the Arab states. As the day wears on, Tarek meets Keren (Hili Yalon), a woman who was raised in an Ultra-Orthodox household and left her family behind in search of her own freedom. Tarek finds a kindred spirit in Keren and acceptance in Katz, forcing him to reexamine the choices that brought him to Tel Aviv in the first place. Sof Shavua Be-Tel Aviv (aka For My Father) received its North American premiere at the 2008 Montreal World Film Festival. Movie Reviews : I have a penchant for films that delve into storylines where the notion of sacrifice is explored via martyrdom or catch-22 type situations of, to kill or not to kill. The idea of a person duck-taping sticks of dynamite to their body is so foreign to North American audiences, that in a way, the lure of such films is how the act psychological manifests itself inside the film's protagonist. I think back to classics such as Pontecorvo's Battle of Algiers and more recently, Hany Abu-Assad's Paradise Now with today's announcement. Film Movement have strapped themselves to Dror Zahavi's For My Father (Sof Shavua B'Tel Aviv), the picture about possibly altering the destination of one's actions will be set up for an eventual limited theatrical run late in the calender year with their usual cable release quickly right after. The dubbed German trailer below spells out acts I and II, but leaves us guessing in the final act. For My Father focuses on Terek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father’s honor, is given a second chance when the fuse on his explosive vest fails to detonate. Forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv awaiting its repair, Terek must live amongst the people he was planning to kill. To his surprise he connects with several Israelis on the outskirts of society, including the beautiful Keren, who has cut off contact with her Orthodox family and upbringing. With nothing to lose, Terek and Keren open up to one another, and an unlikely love blooms between two isolated and damaged individuals, raised to be enemies.

Plot full summary : Life is wonderful for the people in the quiet, island town of Port Gamble....until a zombie virus outbreak! Watch online Movie Trailer free ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction English Hollywood Film.The film Directed by Kevin Hamedani .
ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction English Film Synopsis : An idyllic island town is under attack by that most invasive of pests: zombies! Port Gamble is being overrun with braineaters, and the people seem powerless to stave them off. But wait, a rag tag band of rebels is trying to turn the tide and push the invading hoards of undead back. It sounds familiar, sure, but this time stereotypes are on parade (and parody) in a retake on the zombie thriller. We have the full compliment of cinematic shorthand, including the closeted small town boy who has gone to the city and returns with his pushy boyfriend in tow; the angry, hard-working, heavy-accented, immigrant from a Muslim country who is overprotective of his beautiful daughter; the hippie peacenik environmentalist; the fire and brimstone reverend who hates everything you’d expect him to, and many more. Enter the zombies. Gore abounds (really abounds) and the current events-based hits keep coming. Gore abounds (really abounds) and the current events-based hits keep coming in this send-up of zombie movie clichés where no subculture escapes unscathed. --Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival.
ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction Hollywood Movie Reviews: ZMD has one kick ass pre-credit opening scene that had me completely psyched for the rest of the film. It boasts some impressive effects, particularly for a film with a slim budget. I don't want to give away any of the juicy, gory scenes, but I will tell you that there are some glorious moments involving skin ripping, shooting, stabbing, and even one shocking and hilarious hit and run. Instead of the regular cookie cutter characters you see in most horror films, ZMD features a diverse group of individuals that are actually interesting. The local restaurant is run by an Iranian man, who's American born daughter Frida has returned home from Princeton.
Frida is conflicted with her role in the world, not only because of her father, who begs her to embrace her Iranian heritage, but also an air headed boyfriend who keeps calling her an Iraqi. In a hilarious conversation between Frida and her boyfriend, the phrases "There is NORWAY, you are getting in these panties" and "Kuwait a second" are uttered. Oh yes, he goes there. Then there is the gay couple; Tom and Lance, who have come to Port Gamble so that Tom can finally "come out" to his mother. The two deliver some of the film's best lines. There is a mayor with serious old fashion attitudes, who's closest acquaintance is the local preacher who delivers fire and brimstone sermons. In direct contrast to the mayor is the local female high school teacher who is running against him in the upcoming election. Finally there is the proudly right-wing father with an alcoholic wife, and an awkward drama student son. There are more than a few small-minded people in the town of Port Gamble. Many of the locals are suspicious of foreigners and fear homosexuals. Even the local news suggests terrorists for the cause of the zombie outbreak. So needless to say, there is a crapload of material to work with. The gay couple, played by Doug Fahl and Cooper Hopkins are outstanding and shine in every scene they are in. Janette Armand is also excellent as Frida. Ali Hamedani who plays Frida's father is perfect in his role, and is actually the father of the director. Russell Hodgkinson is delightfully amusing, and unlikable as the right-wing dad. Some of the acting from the more minor characters is iffy, but it doesn't hurt the overall feel of the film. ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction is well-paced, high energy, gory, clever, and funny as hell. It entertained me from beginning to end. Highly Recommended!

Because deep down... we're all killers.
Kill Theory (Killers) Hollywood Movie Reviews:
Kill Theory was originally slated for a theatrical release from Lionsgate Films, and now has a DVD and theatrical release in Russia. It absolutely confuses me why a solid little slasher movie like this gets poor treatment from Lionsgate, but then again they are the same people responsible for giving the great "Midnight Meat Train" a very poor theatrical release and giving the god-awful "Disaster Movie" a wide theatrical release. Kill Theory has great production values and doesn't look cheap at all, and if gone to theaters, would have probably done pretty good - so Lionsgate screwed themselves over, again! Kelly Palmer, first-time screenwriter, has proved to have writing talent with this movie and he did a very good job. The acting from the cast was solid, and I particularly loved Teddy Dunn's performance in the movie - he stood out to me. Horror stars Agnes Bruckner (Vacancy 2), Kevin Gage (Amusement) and Taryn Manning (The Breed) give solid performances also, as well as the rest of the cast. The movie also has some pretty solid death scenes (which are brutal) and it feels like a slasher movie with guns at times. My favorite kill would have to be the "ownage" by the shovel - great kill! The death order is very unpredictable also, and the ending was shocking. Does everyone die? Do they beat the killer? Does the lead die? Does the least-likely character live? All I can say is, I was shocked. The movie also had a "Saw" feel to it, with the killer communicating via tapes, mentioning survival, using traps and such. I think it's safe to say this was probably inspired by Saw somehow, but it's not a rip-off, unlike the horrible "Are You Scared?" (2006). The only things that I didn't really like about Kill Theory was the fact that Daniel Franzese (Mean Girls, Cruel World) character was incredibly annoying in this movie with his whining and screaming, and the fact that Carly Pope (Yeti: Curse of The Snow Demon) and Edwin Hodge (Mandy Lane) are only featured in photograph/newspaper clippings and don't have an actual roles - disappointing.
