Pfeiffer plays Elizabeth Collins Stoddard and admits to James Kleinmann who conducted the interview that she was ‘obsessed’ with the TV show [...]

The British Independent Film Festival 2012

The Empire in Leicester Square played host (alongside four other cinemas around the country) to the third annual British Independent Film Festival last weekend, and we were there to catch the world premiere of British high-octane horror Airborne on the Friday evening, as well as a trio of films screened the following day. As the [...]

The Gang Joins the Circus in First Clip from Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted

The US is only a few shorts weeks away from seeing the third instalment in the Madagascar series hit the big screen, and after getting the first full-length trailer back in March, the first clip from the film has now made its way online. Co-directed by original directors from the first two films, Eric Darnell [...]

We’ve just been sent the first-look image of Tommy Lee Jones from his new movie, Emperor which is directed by Peter Webber and also stars Matthew Fox. It’s currently doing the rounds in Cannes looking to be picked up in the market. Tommy Lee Jones plays Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the movie which we’ve got the [...]

Brilliant First Poster for Anchorman: The Legend Continues

Back in 2004, writer-director Adam McKay made one of the most memorable comedy directorial debuts with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, which turned co-writer Will Ferrell into a household name overnight. The film took a healthy $90m., and has of course gone on to become a fairly staple item in the comedy sections of [...]

The trailer for UTV Motion Pictures first animated feature since their acquisition by Disney is set to release and we have the trailer here. Arjun: The Warrior Prince is a mythological action adventure where we follow Arjun from a young boy to the legendary warrior that he became. A teaser was released a few months [...]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes UK Poster

Contagion Writer Scott Z. Burns to tell the Continuing Story of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes

While the news that Fox are producing a sequel to last year’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes is not unexpected there’s a new name added to the credits today, that of writer Scott Z. Burns. I visited Fox a month before the film was due for its worldwide release and though a number [...]

Great First Trailer for Duplass Brothers’ The Do-Deca-Pentathlon

Jay and Mark Duplass have been riding high upon the waves from the praise of their last few films, with Baghead, Cyrus, and most recently Jeff, Who Lives At Home brilliantly received by critics and audiences alike. The brothers have carved out a great niche in the indie market, and now the first trailer for [...]

It’s been a day of firsts today, with the first trailers for Michel Gondry’s The We and the I and Matthew Perry’s new show, Go On. Now we can add to that the first trailer for Hit and Run, starring Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, and Bradley Cooper, with Yahoo Movies debuting this for the film [...]

After getting the first poster and a new set of images for Michel Gondry’s next film, The We and the I, earlier today, we’ve now got the great first trailer for the film ahead of its debut in the Directors’ Fortnight section at Cannes this week. Penned by Gondry and debut writers Jeffrey Grimshaw and [...]

Promising First Trailer for Matthew Perry’s new show, Go On

After getting two great first clips at the weekend from Matthew Perry’s upcoming NBC comedy, Go On, along with a nice little interview with Perry himself, the network has now debuted the first trailer, and it’s pretty excellent. Perry is his usual brilliant and talented self that we all know and love, and though his [...]

Helena Bonham Carter Dark Shadows Interview

“I’m at the Heart of the Dysfunction” – Helena Bonham Carter talks Dark Shadows

One of the few good things about Tim Burton’s latest vamp’n’camp melodrama Dark Shadows is Helena Bonham Carter’s marvellous lush/pschiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman. As the live-in/drink-dry carer for the Collins family’s youngest child Hoffman isn’t given too much to do as the film lurches into its second half but initially her deadpan delivery is pitched [...]

Terrence Malick’s Untitled Project with Ben Affleck & Rachel McAdams titled To The Wonder

Since last year’s Palme d’Or-winning The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick has become something of a prolific filmmaker. He’s got two feature films currently in the works in the form of Knight of Cups and Lawless (which may or may not see its title change, given that John Hillcoat’s previously titled The Wettest County has [...]

Ben Stiller Fights for Stretch Armstrong in New Set Photos from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Ben Stiller returns behind the camera for his first feature since 2008’s Oscar-nominated Tropic Thunder, and filming is already underway for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The film, a remake of the 1947 film of the same name (based on the short story by James Thurber), has an impressive cast headed up by Stiller [...]

Addictive TV: Breaking Bad Season 3 DVD Review

***CONTAINS MAJOR SEASON 1 AND 2 SPOILERS*** After watching the methodical and laborious techniques used to create Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse’s (Aaron Paul) ‘special’ blue crystal meth for two whole, addictive seasons, we should all be experts in the production of the illegal substance by now. But that was never the show’s intent and, [...]

Review: Mortal Kombat Vita

Having a console with touch capabilities, gyroscopic sensors and other nifty tricks seems like the perfect home for a game that was made famous thanks to it’s slice and dice gameplay and over the top bloody move sets. Neatherrealm Studios clearly thought the same and bought Mortal Kombat to Sony’s hand-held box of tricks that [...]

2 Days in New York Review

Julie Delpy turns her hand to multitasking once more (she’s credited as co-producer, co-write, director, and star) as she reprises his role of the perilously romantic artist Marion in this slight, yet witty and engaging follow up to 2007’s 2 Days in Paris. As the title suggests, Marion has now swapped her Parisian domicile for [...]

Review: Starhawk – Keeping it Realtime

First I would like to begin with a brief review of Warhawk. Warhawk is one of my favourite games of this generation, Why? because it was pure and it was simple. From the characature-esqu style of the game to the variety of maps. No where else could you fly over a destroyed capital city, or [...]

ID:A DVD Review

ID:A starts off with what feels like a very familiar cinematic predicament. A woman awakes with amnesia, to find herself laying in a river, wounded, with nothing but the clothes on her back, and a duffel bag. She makes her way to the nearest town, and finds a hotel room to hole up in whilst [...]

Hardware Review: Gametel Bluetooth Joypad

The rise of mobile gaming has been the most significant change to the industry since Nintendo handed us a white plastic stick and told us to wave it about like a fool. The ubiquity and relative cheapness compounded with the fact that almost all of us have a device already capable of playing games has [...]

Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows Blu-ray Pack Shot

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Blu-ray Review

Guy Ritchie’s 2009 Sherlock Holmes was an exuberant updating of Conan Doyle’s famed hawkshaw and there was great fun to be had in the bantering and battering doled out by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Making a quick killing at the box office immediately thrust the notion of a sequel to the fore and [...]

The Sitter DVD Review

So. A young babysitter takes their three young charges on an ill-advised trip into the big city. What should be a simple errand turns into chaos, as the four find themselves on the run from dangerous men, bouncing from one outrageous situation to the next, desperately trying to resolve their issues and beat the parents [...]

Curzon On Demand – Review

A month or so ago, we brought you word of the new On Demand service being introduced by the Curzon Cinemas chain, which finds itself in a very crowded and competitive market place alongside LoveFilm and NetFlix, who also offer a similar streaming service. Potentially, the difference with Curzon is that they are focussing on [...]

The Dictator Review

There’s a moment very near the end of The Dictator where it gets political. The point it makes is obvious, and laboured, but also well put and funny – It’s the film’s best moment, and a brief glimmer of the wit that made Sacha Baron Cohen’s career. Unfortunately it’s the only glimmer. In fairness to [...]

How I Spent My Summer Vacation Review

After failing to win over audiences as a latter day, burnt-out Jim Henson figure in The Beaver, Mel Gibson returns to more comfortable territory in the funny and surprisingly hard-edged prison comedy-actioner, How I Spent my Summer Vacation. Narrating the action via a wry, seen-it-all-before voice-over, Gibson plays a career criminal who, in the opening scene [...]

Dark Shadows Review

Dark Shadows brings together the familiar union of Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and my increasing concern about my waning interest in the partnership. I believe that the actor and director are destined to collaborate just as Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson or Scorsese and DiCaprio will continue to work together, however this latest film is [...]

Jeff, Who Lives at Home Review

To paraphrase the great Dina Washington, what a difference a day makes in Jeff, Who Lives at Home, the second studio film from mumblecore merchants-turned burgeoning Hollywood players, the Duplass brothers. Opening with a very funny scene, eponymous hero (played with an innocent naivety by Jason Segel) is sat in contemplative solitude using an old [...]

American Pie – The Trilogy – Blu-ray Review

Starting in 1999, when four friends (Jim, Kevin, Finch and Oz) decide to do all they can to lose their virginity by the time they graduate high school, then moving forward a year for a sequel built around them meeting up after a year at college and spending the summer at a lake/beach house, before wrapping [...]

Braquo Season One DVD Review

The recent spate of powerful euro-centric police procedurals to crop up on both terrestrial TV and Sky have managed to gain the approval of critics and audiences alike. One of these celebrated shows proudly wears its US influences on its sleeve while managing to retain that dark and sobering tone found in neighbouring programmes such [...]

Hard Boiled Sweets – DVD Review

A whole host of gangsters, pimps, low-lifes, call-girls, ex-cons and bent cops move in and out of each other’s lives during a couple of busy days in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. Jimmy The Gent (Peter Wight) is up from London to see local big man Shrewd Eddie (Paul Freeman) and has a big wedge of cash [...]

Piggy Review

London seems to be awash with potentially violent males lurking on every street corner, ready to explode with pent up rage given the right situation – if homegrown cinema is anything to go by. Debut writer-director Kieron Hawkes’ Piggy is another depressingly gritty tale of modern-day woe from the UK capital’s ‘mean’ streets that follows [...]

Safe Review

British bulldog Jason Statham always manages to beguile you on screen with his seemingly boundless choreographed energy and corny one-line growls that have become his reliable trademarks. Without such qualities of seasoned action veterans like Schwarzenegger and Stallone in their heyday, the Statham flick would be dead in the water, like an action flick of [...]

Demons & Demons 2 Blu-ray Review

Arrow Films delves once again into the treasure trove of cult genre favourites from the video shop era, bringing their restoration process to the Dario Argento-produced 1985 horror Demons and its sequel from the following year, Demons 2. On a subway train, a student named Cheryl is offered free cinema tickets by a mysterious masked [...]

Beauty and the Beast 3D Review

After last year’s re-release of The Lion King, the 1991 animation milestone is the next film from the Disney vault to get the 3D treatment. Based on the classic fairytale, it’s rightly regarded as a classic and always welcome back to cinema screens. I’m still slightly unconvinced about converting 2D cel animation into 3D though. [...]

Halo 4 Limited Edition incoming

Is this the biggest story of the day? Bigger than say, Rio Ferdinand being left out of the England squad while crocks like John Terry an Steven Gerrard get chosen? OK, sorry..it hurts. Anyway, Microsoft have today announced they are to release a Limited Edition version of their highly anticipated Halo 4. Oh, sorry…NO WAY [...]

Review: Mortal Kombat Vita

Sony Announces Next ‘PlayStation Heaven’ Broadcast For June

Sony have announced that they will be holding another ‘PlayStation Vita Heaven’ broadcast next month. I say announced but it was more of a tease from Computer Entertainment Japan CEO Hiroshi Kawano. The previous broadcast was in March where the showcased some of the upcoming Vita games such as Persona 4 The Golden, teased the game that [...]

Rumour: GTA V Vehicle List Leaked

Now, you may need to be some kind of techno pagan to truly understand this. But it appears that buried deep in the code of Max Payne 3 is the vehicle list for Grand Theft Auto V. This is not the first time Rockstar embed information on other games inside, um, other games. The same [...]

The Last of Us Truck Ambush Trailer

Naughty Dog have gone live with a brand new trailer for their virus-em-up zombie infected game The Last of Us. The trailer shows that just driving through the devastated city is not as easy as it sounds. It looks beautiful, for a CGI scene. Alas there is still no in-game footage on show. That will be at [...]
