It’s always difficult to remain impartial whilst sat in the 2300 seated Lumiere theatre in Cannes, tuxedo donned and having just trod across the second most famous red carpet in the world (behind the Oscars) and having literally bumped into Robert DeNiro, Uma Thurman and Jude Law a few hours earlier! So it is safe [...]

Yesterday saw the 64th International Cannes Film Festival open with Woody Allen’s latest movie, Midnight in Paris. The movie stars Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen, Owen Wilson and from what I’ve seen so far, people absolutely loved it.

Green Lantern seems to have done itself the world of good with its more recent publicity output, allaying fears that it was too light-hearted, too flimsy to compete with the summer’s other big comic book releases. The recent trailer has succeeded in putting out of our minds the inherent silliness that seemed to be bedevilling [...]
Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom, the nigh-on inevitable sequel to the successful and impressive original Dreamworks film will be upon us soon.

We’ll be in out Cannes this Friday but there nice and early is our friend Alex Billington from First Showing who has come across the first poster for the sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s Expendables.
