Body Temperature

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 [...]

Horrible Bosses

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” [...]

The Company Men

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 [...]

The Kings Speech

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 [...]

The Mechanic

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.

Blue Valentine Movie

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 [...]

London Boulevard

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

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 [...]

Edward wasn’t a Vampire

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 [...]

Robin Hood

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 [...]
