I have an aversion to any new film described as “the next… (insert successful film)” or the “…version of… (insert successful film)” but soon we will see Desperados, a film which is described by its writer (Ellen Rapoport) as “a female-orientated The Hangover”. To be fair everyone needs to sell their script to execs and [...]
HeyUGuys at Cannes 2010: BIUTIFUL Review
May 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
There appears to be a pattern emerging for the films included in this year’s Cannes film festival. Almost without exception, the list of films is populated by auteurs, making films that are very “on-brand”, following that director’s familiar artistic manifesto so that what we watch is almost stereotypically of them. Biutiful is another, like Mike Leigh’s [...]

Is it Too Late to Vote for the A-Team in the UK General Election?
May 18, 2010 By 4 Comments
OK, so let me start by saying that it’s a shame we weren’t sent these a couple of weeks ago when the UK election was hotting up. Alas, I’ve only just got my hands on it but I thought it was worth a post nonetheless. Fox have created not only a great spoof video to [...]

First Images from Tarsem Singh’s Immortals
May 18, 2010 By 5 Comments
My first introduction to Tarsem Singh was his feature film debut The Cell in 2000, which starred Jennifer Lopez. The film was an utter mess but was incredibly visually striking and some of its images have stayed with me since. My experience watching The Cell didn’t make me too excited about checking out Tarsem’s future work but [...]
