LFF 2011: We Need To Talk About Kevin Review

we_need_to_talk_about_kevin

Tilda Swinton generally never fails to impress audiences in anything she turns her hand to. Indeed, what can honestly be said about Lynne Ramsay’s adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s riveting and utterly chilling book, We Need To Talk About Kevin, is that the role was written unquestionably for Swinton – or even the book’s character for [...]

Hostel: Part III Hacks Its Way Into All Good Retailers

Hostel 3 Na'vi

My God 2007 seems like a long time ago, don’t you think? With the Saw phenomenon having given way to Paranormal Activity franchise, torture porn was beginning to feel like a thing of the past. Like the Crazy Frog or economic stability. It turns out Sony Pictures Home Entertainment disagree. The studio has just released [...]

Cam Gigandet To Hitch A Free Ride With Anna Paquin

Cam Gigandet

Since his great turn back in The O.C. as Volchok in days gone by, Cam Gigandet has been getting some pretty great screen-time, even if some of his films haven’t found the recognition they deserve. He was great in Never Back Down back in 2008, and had an entertaining part in last year’s Emma Stone-starrer [...]

Star Wars 3D is happening and Here’s the Poster to Prove it

Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menage 3D Poster

Looking on the bright side this is the chance to see all six Star Wars films on the big screen once again, but the competence of the 3D conversion will have to be decent to make this a worthwhile return. Certainly these 3D re-releases will become very big business over the next decade or so [...]

New UK Poster for The Awakening

The Awakening Quad

Nick Murphy’s debut film is an old school ghost story in every sense with Rebecca Hall’s journey to invesigate alledged spooky happenings finds her rolling up at a boys school in the middle of nowhere with a murdered pupil and a host of unanswered questions. I caught the film earlier this month as it plays [...]

Word now comes [...]

LFF 2011: Headhunters (Hodejegerne) Review

Headhunters Still 1

Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) is 1.68 meters tall and feels very inadequate about it.

Roger is [...]

Green Lantern Blu-ray Review

green lanern blu-ray

Green Lantern is an unknown quantity to most of us, without years of pop-culture osmosis and numerous previous big screen versions to get us familiar with the Guardians of the Universe or the Planet Oa and the Green Lantern Corps. Ryan Reynolds is the most recognisable element of DC’s latest blockbuster and the question you [...]

First Trailer Lands For Albert Nobbs With Glenn Close

Albert Nobbs (3)

We got the first official look at Glenn Close dressed rather convincingly as a woman disguising herself as a man back in 19th Century Ireland. And along with showing us Close in her costume, it also gave us a nice look at two of her co-stars, Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass). [...]

Puss In Boots Continues To Charm In New Poster

Puss In Boots poster

I must admit, I was a sceptic at first, but everything we’ve been seeing for the film over the past few months has made a believer out of me – I especially recommend the latest viral teaser video for the film. A new character poster for the hero himself has been released over at IMP [...]

Sleeping Beauty Review

sleeping-beauty

On face value, Australian author Julia Leigh’s Sleeping Beauty is both a sordid and brave film-making debut that will literally divide opinion. It’s not the nudity that is the main issue for most, rather the treatment of the main character, Lucy, played by Sucker Punch’s Emily Browning that triggers deep feelings of revulsion. At the [...]

LFF 2011: Shame Review

Shame (5)

Steve McQueen’s second film reunites the director with the man who gave his 2008 debut Hunger its visceral power and with Shame Michael Fassbender gives a career best performance as a man struggling with sex addiction and the sudden arrival of his sister into his carefully constructed world. It is a powerful and provocative film, [...]
