The zombie blockbuster of the year hits theatres in just under a month, and with Brad Pitt front and centre, I can’t wait to see how World War Z unfolds. We’ve already had one box office-topping zombie movie this year in Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies, and it will be interesting to see if World War [...]
Strong First Trailer for Cannes-Hit Ain’t Them Bodies Saints with Casey Affleck & Rooney Mara
Ain’t Them Bodies Saints blew audiences away at its Sundance premiere, and it’s long been a movie on my radar to look forward to.

A Storm Approaches in First Clip from J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost with Robert Redford
J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost has had its debut out in Cannes, and the early reviews are very promising. The film is screening Out of Competition at the festival, so it of course won’t be winning Chandor or leading man Robert Redford any awards. But if the early buzz is to be believed, the film [...]

Cannes 2013: Max Rose Review
Directed by Daniel Noah, only his second feature since his debut in 2001, Max Rose premiered at the Cannes Film Festival with dozens of photographers, multiple video cameras and hundreds of highly excitable guests in attendance. Why so much fanfare and a circus like atmosphere for such a relatively small screening? It’s all because of [...]
Cannes 2013: Like Father, Like Son Review
Hirokazu Koreeda’s latest in a run of tender explorations of family dynamics rests on a rather unusual high concept, the idea of two children being swapped at birth in a hospital and the error not being discovered until much later. The two children, six year-old boys named Keita and Ryusei, have had very different experiences [...]
Cannes 2013: Only God Forgives Review
Nicolas Winding Refn gained something of a cult following after Drive, his previous team up with Ryan Gosling, and the film even gained the Danish filmmaker a number of fans who would most likely usually favour more mainstream fare. His and Gosling’s follow-up, Only God Forgives, has just premiered at Cannes, playing in Competition, but [...]
Cannes 2013: Monsoon Shootout Review

Something in the Air Review
In a similar vein to his most recent project Carlos, renowned French filmmaker Olivier Assayas returns with Something in the Air, yet again proving his distinct talent for placing the viewer in a particular period, and immersing us within this world unbeknown to our own, as a director who has a real knack for finding [...]
Cannes 2013: Inside Llewyn Davis Review
The Greenwich Village Folk scene of the early sixties provides the setting for the Coen Brothers’ wonderfully meandering portrait of a struggling folk musician. The folk setting does not define Inside Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) though, Llewyn is in many ways more a representative of artists in general and in particular one struggling to have [...]
The Hangover Part III Review
If you speak to just about anyone over the age of 30, they’ll tell you that hangovers get worse with age. Well, on this evidence, they’re right, as we get ready to step back into Todd Phillips’ The Hangover franchise, with the third and – thankfully – final addition to the celebrated comedy. Having survived [...]
Cannes 2013: Behind the Candelabra Review
