Going into the festival there were a select few films that I had earmarked as definites for viewing: Wall Street 2 was top of the list, and closely following it was Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, a delightfully intriguing prospect for anyone familiar with Araki’s body of work. Araki is one of those indie-darling, festival veterans who [...]
Plundering the mines of fictional heroes has paid handsomely for Hollywood in the past, and Dreamwork’s latest project takes a shot at updating the figure of heroic Victorian adventurer Allen Quartermain with a sci-fi setting. The reason why this project is in the news today is that the project, which has writer Mark Verheiden taking [...]
I must admit that Mathieu Almaric’s Tournee largely sneaked under my radar prior to my arrival at the festival this week, but would most probably have made it on to my Highlights article in the run-up had I been more aware of it. You see, not only am I a huge admirer of Almaric as [...]
Standing still amidst the flurry of news from Cannes is a difficult prospect, but for those with the inclination to stop and look there’s all sorts of interesting sights to see. /Film obviously feel the same and they took this shot of an early poster for The Awakening, a period horror which will star Dominic [...]
I was a bit worried when we started to see images for Josh Brolin’s new movie, Jonah Hex but then the trailer was released and things seemed to be looking up as it didn’t look half bad. We also had some new high res images that I put up yesterday and they looked pretty cool [...]
Having trotted through time in Terry Gilliam’s sublime Twelve Monkeys, Bruce Willis will be on familiar ground when he steps into Rian Johnson’s next film, Looper. Johnson’s third feature already has Joseph Gordon-Levitt on board for this film, which revolves around a team of hitmen whose victims are sent back from the future and killed [...]
The second film of the day, and the third from my recommended list; Chatroom turned out to be even more of an intriguing project than I had ever anticipated. I had expected an excellent vehicle for Aaron Johnson to prove his acting acumen under the sturdy helmsmanship of Hideo Nakata, with the inevitable atmospheric tension, [...]
Emma Stone is carving out a nicely erratic career path in Hollywood, taking in the expected teen comedies and then throwing a turn to star in Zombieland and Paper Man. While Easy A looks like being closer to sitting happily in the former category, I’m hoping there’ll be enough of a twist in the sexual [...]
Petropolis: Aerial Perspectives on the Alberta Tar Sands pretty much does what it says on the tin. The film is 45 minutes long and gives us an aerial perspective on how large the Tar Sands Oil project really is. It’s directed by Peter Mettler and follows on nicely to the film, Dirty Oil made by [...]
Ridley Scott’s take on the Outlaw of Sherwood Forest is one of the most anticipated films of the year and it was this film that opened the Cannes film festival yesterday. Dave saw the film a few days ago and his review is here and Simon (who is currently in Cannes for HeyUGuys) got to [...]

When Disney reveal release dates for their forthcoming projects it sets in motion a huge wave of anticipation, and as we discussed on our latest Mouth Off podcast, it is Disney’s animation features that are succeeding critically and commercially in recent years. Variety are reporting that two Disney animations have their release dates set, first [...]
Over the last few years, we’ve had quite a few biopics looking at famous musicians who either changed a genre or who have had megastar success. I’m thinking of Ray which starred Jamie Foxx based on Ray Charles and Walk the Line where Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash. The theme to these movies always seems [...]
With news hot off the press that Wall Street 2 is a thumb up movie, here’s a few new images from Josh Brolin who, according to Simon who just saw Wall Street, makes the film along with Carey Mulligan! Good news indeed, but we have to remember that Jonah Hex is a very, very different [...]
I know this is a random thing to say, but for me, when I hear the name Nina Simone, I think of The Assassin which starred Gabriel Byrne and Bridget Fonda. While just looking at it on IMDb, I’ve just found out it was called The Point of No Return in the US. The things [...]
Mark Strong is a very busy man at the moment, yesterday, we had an exclusive interview with him talking about Sherlock Holmes as the DVD / Blu Ray is released on Monday.
