Are you starved for some smart sci-fi this summer? Us too. Sure, "Edge of Tomorrow" had a fair amount of brains, but always coming second to the explosions, and other than "Under the Skin," not much has really scratched the brainy, emotional science fiction itch that things like "Moon" and "Upstream Color" managed to in recent years. But in a few weeks, that might change, because after the film premiered at Sundance back in January, Fox Searchlight are opening "I Origins," Mike Cahill's follow-up to his cult hit "Another Earth," in theaters, and it's right up that sort of street. To mark the build up to the release of the film, which our Sundance review called "heady and deeply moving, we've been given some exclusive images, as well as details to the soundtrack (by Will Bates of Fall On Your Sword and Phil Mossman with tracks by The Do...

For the last few year, music collective Fall On Your Sword has been building up an impressive resumé of film scoring gigs. The group counts "Another Earth," "Nobody Walks," "28 Hotel Rooms" and "Lola Versus" among their credits, and the Tribeca Film Festival presents another movie this year with their distinctive work on it. From writer/director Ryan Piers Williams, "X/Y" brings together an ensemble including America Ferrera, Melonie Diaz, Amber Tamblyn, Common, Dree Hemingway and more to tell the story of four friends living in New York and their interactions as they search for a sense of balance. This exclusive track from Fall On Your Sword,"Alive, Safe And Happy" is both rollicking and uneasy, pulsating and unnerving, likely capturing the journey of these characters as they navigate their lives and each other. "X/Y" premieres on Saturday, April 19th at Bmcc Tribeca Pac. Listen below.

Documentarian Alex Gibney has pointed the spotlight on larger than life figures like Hunter S. Thompson, Julian Assange, the bigwigs of Enron, and the Pope. Now, in a new animated short, the prolific filmmaker is setting his sights on what might be his most magical subject ever: Santa Claus. Gibney provides the narration for Night Before Christmas, an animated music video by Fall On Your Sword, moniker of composer Will Bates. The short unravels as a twist on Clement Clarke Moore's “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” following an illustrated Gibney pursuing a less-than-perfect version of ol' St. Nick.

He broke into the Sundance Film Fest U.S. Dramatic Comp back in 2010 with The Dry Land, and not surprisingly, shooting on his sophomore safely began in March of this year. For this time out, writer/director Ryan Piers Williams once again works with actress/wife America Fererra, and manages once again to pull in some of the better indie players on the circuit in Melonie Diaz, Dree Hemingway, Ann Dowd alongside Jon Paul Phillips, Adam Rapp, Maria Dizzia, David Harbour and the hiphop artist and not too shabby in his own right thesp, Common. Nowhere close to Texas, the NYC backdrop and a score via Fall On Your Sword, X/Y is the type of certified indie film that stands a good chance at breaking into the fest – especially when you have a team of four editors mashing up the interconnectedness of the plot.

We've had our ears on composer duo Fall On Your Sword for a while now. The duo have become some of the most in-demand musicians in the indie world over the last few years, thanks to the works on "Another Earth," "Nobody Walks," "Lola Versus" and "28 Hotel Rooms," among others, and we named them as one of our 5 Composers On The Rise earlier this year. Which means that we're delighted to this morning be exclusively debuting a new track from the pair's score to "We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks," the latest film Oscar-winning "Taxi To The Dark Side" director Alex Gibney. The film, which sees Gibney delve into the story of Julian Assange, and his principal source Bradley Manning, won rave reviews at Sundance, and is hitting theaters on Friday May 24th, while Fall On The Sword's soundtrack is released the Tuesday before, on May 21st.

Keanu Reeves is making his way back onto the big screen on friday starring in the new film Generation Um… a tale of three friends who form an intimate bond as their deepest secrets from their past are revealed after partying in New York City the night before. Friendships are tested and compromises are made as these three friends are preparing to do it all again tonight. Recently, I got the chance to sit down with both Keanu Reeves and director Mark Mann in a roundtable discussion about the film. Check it out below.
Keanu, your character is kind of a kleptomaniac in the film.
Keanu Reeves: Yes. I steal a camera and some chocolate. (laughs)
When you’re reading it and playing it, what did that bring to the character?
Keanu Reeves: Stealing the camera for John was the only thing he could do in order to have that camera.

Chicago – It’s taken quite a few movies for me to warm up to Chris Messina. Perhaps it wasn’t his fault that he kept getting typecast as oafish, self-absorbed jerks. In my review of Dana Adam Shapiro’s flawed Oscilloscope release, “Monogamy,” I confessed that every time Messina’s face showed up onscreen, I was “suddenly filled with the intense desire to punch it.”
It’s only been in the last year or so that I began to appreciate Messina’s fearlessness as a performer. He isn’t afraid to explore the dark terrain avoided by fellow actors more concerned with likability than truth. The same could be said of Zoe Kazan, whose debut feature script for the marvelous romance, “Ruby Sparks,” gave Messina his best role to date as a typically suave ladykiller blindsided by the all-too-perfect woman who entered the life of his hopelessly neurotic brother.

Piano driven and almost jaunty, the score for 28 Hotel Rooms brings you right into that moment of falling for someone for the first time – the excitement and giddiness that come from getting to know someone new who lights you up inside. An ironic feeling from a track titled “I’m Never Gonna Call You,” but 28 Hotel Rooms is not your average love story – it is the story of an affair. The almost dangerous and daring piano refrain starts to hint at this truth, but it is “Elevator” that dives right in to this feeling of a different world, one that can only live in the various hotel rooms our two leads (played with fire and passion by Chris Messina and Marin Ireland) constantly find each other in. But in the same way we never learn these character’s names, their love story is also doomed to ever be fully realized because they are each tied to relationships...

Having composed moody and effervescent scores for "Another Earth," "Lola Versus," Ry Russo-Young's "You Won't Miss Me" and "Nobody Walks," and Keanu Reeves' upcoming indie "Generation Um…" Brooklyn-based electronic band Fall On Your Sword are quickly becoming the go-to outfit for indie film composing. Led by Will Bates and Philip Mossman -- Mossman being a founding member of LCD Soundsystem who played the Msg final show extravaganza -- LCD frontman James Murphy has said, "Fall On Your Sword are quite possibly the coolest thing on the planet at the moment."

Martine (Olivia Thirlby), a 23-year-old New York artist arrives in La to complete a short film for an upcoming exhibit. We see her embracing a lover in the airport parking lot and just before things get too carried away, she puts on the brakes and tells him that it was nice meeting him on the plane. This girl is going to be trouble. The opening credits roll as Martine makes her way from the airport, gazing out the window to take everything in as the city rushes by. With a synthy score by Brooklyn duo Fall On Your Sword (who also scored last year’s Sundance hit “Another Earth” as well as director Ry Russo-Young’s first film “You Won’t Miss Me”), La seems really cool. Coming from the confined apartments and gray skies of NYC (in the winter anyway) the wide open spaces of the west coast start to look really attractive.

Starring John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie DeWitt and an excellent supporting cast that features Dylan McDermott, Justin Kirk, and one-to-watch up-and-comers like India Ennenga, Rhys Wakefield and Jane Levy, "Nobody Walks" is one of our favorite indie dramas of the fall. The third feature-length effort from Ry Russo-Young (2009's celebrated indie "You Wont Miss Me"), "Nobody Walks" is also co-written by one of Young's high school pals, one Lena Dunham, the star and creator of HBO's "Girls." An understated drama about a family that takes a young experimental film artist into their home and the havoc it wreaks, there's a lot to love about "Nobody Walks," from the excellent lead performance of Olivia Thirlby (which reminds us just how underused in Hollywood she is), to the moody score by Fall On Your Sword, to the inquisitive screenplay by Dunham and Russo-Young, which is interested in exploring human...

With BAMcinemaFest kicking off this week, New Yorkers who didn’t get the chance to attend Sundance, Cannes or SXSW this year will have a opportunity to sample the best of those fests alongside other cinematic special events. The lineup includes festival favorites “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” “Compliance,” and “Nobody Walks" among many more (check out the full lineup here). And while the latter hasn’t generated quite as much buzz as some of the other entries just yet, we called it “a sensual, emotionally complex film” and “one of the best at [Sundance].” The third feature from writer/director Ry Russo-Young centers on a young New York artist who comes to stay with a Los Angeles family while she completes her short film and ends up affecting the lives of each family member. The ensemble includes John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie DeWitt, Justin Kirk, India Ennenga and Dylan McDermott...

Ever since Napster hit the scene and forever changed the way we distribute music, the music industry has been fighting a slow death over the past few years and while record labels still exist, they are quickly becoming a dated way to “make it” with YouTube, at home ProTools rigs and countless social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Soundcloud) available for artists to truly Diy their careers rather than wait for the elusive record contract to “change their lives.” While established artists like The Chemical Brothers, Phoenix and Daft Punk have taken to the conductor’s podium to create scores for films such as Hanna, Somewhere and Tron: Legacy (can someone also get Muse attached to a project, please?), bands that are not yet well-known are taking their music out of local clubs and putting them onto the silver screen for better (and bigger) exposure. One band, a multi-media group based out of Brooklyn called Fall On Your Sword, caught...

Employing a hybrid of smart and quippy comedic observations, a perceptive outlook on the complications of 20/30-something relationships in New York and genuine moments of heartache, the romantic comedy “Lola Versus” can’t seem to synthesize these elements into a fully satisfying experience by the end of its brief 89-minute running time.
Part of the problem is a clipped and rushed tempo and the fact that while auspicious, well-shot and carefully written, “Lola Versus” is also surprisingly conventional, and fails on its promise of negotiating comedic romantic despair and legitimate amorous despair in any meaningful way that we haven't already seen onscreen.
Written by Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones and directed by Wein (the creative pair who made a somewhat similar exploration of young love in “Breaking Upwards”), in “Lola Versus” Greta Gerwig plays the titular Lola, a 29-year-old woman dumped by her longtime boyfriend Luke (“The Killing” star Joel Kinnaman...

Another Earth
Directed by: Mike Cahill
Cast: Brit Marling, William Mapother, Matthew-Lee Erlbach
Running Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: November 29, 2011
Plot:a young woman (Marling) with a tragic past attempts to make peace with herself and the man (Mapother) she wronged several years later.
Who’S It For? Fans of quiet, understated dramas may find themselves engaged by the emotionally wrought storytelling, but for those looking for a quick sci-fi fix should look elsewhere.
Movie:
What do you call a movie that is part drama, part romance, with a hint of sci-fi? No, seriously. This isn’t the beginning of a bad joke, this is a legitimate question.

Another Earth
Directed by: Mike Cahill
Cast: Brit Marling, William Mapother
Running Time: 1 hr 35 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: July 29, 2011 (Chicago)
Plot: While a second planet hovers in the sky, a young woman (Marling) hopes to help the victim (Mapother) of her vehicular manslaughter incident recover from his grief, five years after the incident.
Who’S It For?: If your whistle is whet by the mentioning of the movies Moon or even Primer, chances are you’ll at least have a positive reaction to this movie. If you thought either of those movies were boring or just really weird, then stay away from Another Earth.
Expectations: Before seeing this film for the first time at SXSW 2011, I had little idea about the movie, aside from hearing that some people at Sundance liked it. Seeing the movie for a second time, I was curious to see how it would hold up,...

- The Scorecard Review
The premise of "Another Earth" is planet sized in scope, but though the film poses cosmically large questions about existence, it's real subject is the microcosm of one woman's grief. "All of this could be the basis of a two hundred million dollar blockbuster directed by Roland Emmerich," IFC's Matt Singer writes. "But director and co-writer Mike Cahill uses this great concept to tell a very different kind of sci-fi story. 'Another Earth' is not an outward journey through space but an inward journey through a woman's tormented soul."
That woman's fateful choices involve a brilliant composer, whose life she tragically changes on the eve of the discovery of this second Earth. And this very different kind of sci-fi story comes with a very different kind of musical score, by Will Bates and Phil Mossman -- aka Fall On Your Sword. Multi-instrumentalist composers Bates and Mossman (also an...
