FROM MTV.COM: Well, here it is, the little movie that Lionsgate dumped unheralded into about a hundred second-run theatres last month, consigning it to the trash heap of horror history — or so a legion of ticked-off Clive Barker fans feared. "The Midnight Meat Train," based on one of Barker's 1984 "Books of Blood" stories, is now scheduled to make a proper debut on the FearNet channel on October 1, and on the channel's Web site on October 30. I'd suggest not missing it.
Unexpectedly — by me, anyway — "MMT" is not a gore movie. Not in the way that most brain-dead blood feasts are, at least. True, there are some savage attacks, some queasy dismemberments, and a meat-mallet head-bash that knocks a victim's eyeball straight out at the camera. But these are surprisingly fleeting, for the most part. Japanese cult director Ryuhei Kitamura maintains impressive control of the story, ratcheting up tension along the way toward well-prepared and startling bursts of terror.

Walking down the street a couple weeks ago I passed a poster promoting something called the “Vampire Rights Amendment.” Maybe you did, too. It didn’t register at first -- living in New York, one grows accustomed to all sorts of civic grievance.

On the Line: When filmmaker Christina Clausen stood to introduce her movie, I learned I was seeing the film on what would have been Keith Haring's 50th birthday and would have the pleasure of watching with his family and childhood friends also in the audience. No pressure.
On the Line: To be quite honest, I showed up so early that there was no line yet. However, my own personal anticipation for this film was quite high. Having lived in Japan for a number of years, I'm a big fan of Japanese Baseball. I was very curious to see how a couple of NYU students would capture the complexity of not only Bobby Valentine, but also the national sport and its die-hard fans.

Every few years, a film comes along containing a performance far better than the movie as a whole; some characters just deserve to have more interesting things happen to them. I'm thinking of Forrest Whitaker in "Ghost Dog," Paul Giamatti in "Lady in the Water," or Giovanni Ribisi in, well, anything.

It's got more gunplay than your local post office, enough close-ups of the female posterior to make Sir Mix-a-Lot blush, and so many dirty words it'll likely be banned before you finish reading this sentence. Quentin Tarantino and his motley crew call it "Hell Ride," and it sure is one helluva something.
On the Line: Here's the great thing about Sundance: There are screenings at 8:30 in the morning! A movie lover's dream! Here's the horrible thing about Sundance: There are screenings at 8:30 in the morning! A human being's nightmare.
