Our coverage from the Raindance Film Festival begins with some hot sex doll action! 2007’s Lars & The Real Girl was on the surface, a real oddity, a film which potentially could have been absolutely disastrous for actor Ryan Gosling and director Craig Gillespie as a man having a relationship with a sex doll is something [...]
It may not be high art but “Horrible Bosses” is still an incredibly funny film. Director Seth Gordon makes the most of a tremendous cast here, blending the usual bromantic angles with lashings of black humour and an affinity for vulgarity. I imagine on paper the picture was a considerably more macabre affair, “Horrible Bosses” [...]
Strangely sidelined during awards season, this downsizing drama might be a bit downbeat, but it’s sharply observant and extremely well-played by an impressive cast. It also says some very important things about the effects of capitalism. Bobby Walker (Affleck) is a high-flying shipping executive stunned when he’s fired after 12 years on the job. Company [...]
British film Pelican Blood directed by Karl Golden and starring British rising star Harry Treadaway tries to tell a story of Bird Watching, love and teen suicide… heavy stuff, but lets find out if it manages to pull it off. Bird watcher Nikko (Treadaway) spends most of his time immersed in his passion alongside his two [...]
British film The Kings Speech is one such film that falls into this category, in my own opinion of course. The difference being that this held my attention throughout and I was endeared to the characters immensely. Directed by Tom Hooper, from which I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any of his previous work and [...]
Opening this Friday in the UK and US, Jason Statham comes to blow the cobwebs off of January with some explosions and heavy gunfire in The Mechanic. Ah The Stath, one of the only people in my life who I will love unconditionally. Whether performing for the likes of Uwe Boll or being a part of [...]
Although there’s much to admire here, it sits firmly in the category of watch once films like Requiem for a Dream and Breaking the Waves, where you can appreciate it as a great film but would be reluctant for a second viewing. Blue Valentine is about a miserable couple, their miserable life, and how they [...]
Opening in the UK today, screenwriter of The Departed, William Monahan, makes his directorial debut with multi-threaded Brit crime flick London Boulevard. Certain aspects of a films marketing set off warning bells for me, whether it be trailers that don’t seem to know what they are advertising or more obvious factors like not being screened [...]
Jonah Hex with Megan Fox, due to some very public production troubles and a ridiculously soft 81 minute running time (74 minus the credits), the buzz on DC comic book adaptation “Jonah Hex” was sour for months before the picture’s release. Director Jimmy Hayward was reportedly removed from the editing suite, Warner realizing they had [...]
Opening in the UK on November 5th, one of the quicker remakes to hit the screen of late, taking on the cinematic might of success story Let The Right One In, Cloverfield director Matt Reeves’ Let Me In. Let The Right One In is a widely cherished modern classic, a status it has had since [...]
New 3D movie that you will love and enjoy watching because we want to know what do you think about this? It is 9 minutes of Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D. Lots of blood, gore, nudity and death. It looks like it is going to be excellent.We see Elizabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, Eli Roth [...]
Previous obsessions have been, in no particular order, Witches, Fairies, The Beatles, Serial Killers (weird I know) and John Cusack. My current obsession is, and has been for a while, Vampires. I am going to be a little honest here as is often my style. I had a bad phase, I have suffered them on [...]
Jordan says the good points outweigh the bad, Ian says its all about the magic. Noel disagrees.
Well, it seems our three pronged discussion on the value of the cinematic experience has – as it so often does with your 35mm Heroes – both united and… [+]
The ‘Cinema Experience’ has long split cinephiles down the middle as this, the first in a series of articles will demonstrate.
For me the work ‘Cinema’ itself implies an audience activity, but the main factor you have to take into account and what is the surrounding… [+]
Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone… and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the “other side.” His only [...]
Despite a massive wave of publicity for Robin Hood with its Cannes Opening Night selection, things have not been rosy with the films path to completion. Early word of the film being a psychological take on the story focusing on the Sheriff of Nottingham was quickly done away with as instead the film was simply [...]
Due for release in mid December Twilight is set to be one of the biggest films of the year. Kristin Stewart who starred in the Panic Room back in 2002 with Jodie Foster plays the lead alongside Robert Pattinson as two lovers Bella and Edward who embark on a forbidden romance that turns into a [...]
