There are few directors still plying their trade today who can rival Martin Scorsese when it comes to the quality and variety of their filmography. The native New Yorker has frequently created brutal and violent stories featuring deeply flawed and morally questionable protagonists, covering such sombre subjects as guilt, greed, machismo and mental instability along [...]
Here’s something fun to start the day! It’s completely made up (by clever artist J. M. Walter via Cartoon Brew) but how great would it be for Pixar to create a Pixar Avengers using characters established from multiple movies? Mr. Incredible as Captain America, Elastigirl as Black Widow, Monsters Inc. star Sulley as Hulk and in [...]
Almost exactly a year ago I was asked to look at the results of a survey which concluded that audiences were increasingly concerned with the glut of sequels, reboots and remakes which were taking up space in their local multiplexes. Originality was being stifled our survey said. New technology was also placed firmly in the [...]
The Harlem Shake has been around a fair while now and has inundated YouTube with a million and one different versions but the one you’ve been waiting for is now here in the form of ‘The Muppet Shake’! The Muppets who are currently in the UK filming their new movie took on the challenge to [...]
When compiling a list of movie characters who fall under the wide brim of the Psychopath umbrella there is no shortage of usual, or unusual, suspects. Anarchists, nihilists, serial murders – all are contained within an ever expanding rogue’s gallery of undesirables, and there are some fine examples in our special Seven of the Best [...]
Summer blockbuster season is almost upon us, and as usual there is an exciting assortment of big budget films heading our way. From post-apocalyptic sci-fi’s After Earth and Oblivion, to eagerly anticipated superhero flicks Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel, the slate for the next 3 months is enticing. We’ve included all the above [...]
Sundance London returns with a keen momentum to the O2 Arena from the 25th to the 28th of April and this year the festival’s twin strands of music and film are even more intertwined with some must-see headline events. Below we’ve picked three of the events we’ll be looking out for in our coverage and [...]
April 2013 promises to be a big month at the box office. Not quite as big as May, I think, but we have a slew of awesome movies coming out this month. March has just closed out with a very impressive performance from G.I. Joe: Retaliation around the world, following the release of Disney’s Oz [...]
A very good friend of mine Mr. Martin Dyer (who as an aside who is a rather large fan of Big Trouble in Little China and has done his best to convert me to love it, but failed!) sent me some rather fabulous photos yesterday while on a trip to Western-Super-Mare. Currently adoring the beach [...]
Yesterday I watched twenty minutes of footage from Iron Man 3. You can check out what I thought of it here. Alongside the footage, and a tasty selection of pastries, the folks from Disney also had another ‘treat’ for the assembled members of the press: the chance to become Iron Man. Digitally at least. And [...]
Some of the best crime films revolve around two people thrown together in their crusade against the world. Bonnie had her Clyde, Mickey had his Mallory and now the psychopath of true love is laid before Chris and Tina, the two lovebirds who lead us through the English countryside in Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers, recipient of [...]
The latest computer game to be turned into a movie is the best selling game from ‘Company of Heroes’. It’s a real-time strategy game in which you have to navigate your soldiers tanks across maps in order to defeat your enemies coming in at your front the opposite direction. The new movie has a very Band of Brothers [...]
Celebrating their eighteenth year this year, the Jameson Empire Awards returned to London to bestow their annual honour upon the best in film from 2012. The Empire Awards are one of the few that are voted for by the viewing public, with readers of Empire given the chance to vote for any and all of [...]
Yes, another LEGO post but who can blame us when they are so good! Earlier today we had a couple of new images from J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness and then I saw this wonderful tweet from Emma Green pointing me to the most recent trailer for the movie in LEGO form. Not much more needs [...]
From the didactic to the diabolical we look at ten movie teachers who have, for good or ill, shaped our bold young, and sometimes dangerous, minds. The classroom has long been fertile ground for filmmakers weaving their coming of age stories around the relationship between a pupil and their teacher. They may not always end [...]
Those of us who write about movies are well known for our use of hyperbole, so I’ll phrase the next sentence very carefully: Last night Veronica Mars changed the film industry. In just over 11 hours the proposed movie generated $2million of ‘donations’ on Kickstarter, which puts it squarely in the ‘record breaking’ territory. More [...]
1. You’ve Got Mail There’s no romantic comedy quite like a Meg Ryan movie, and You’ve Got Mail is one of the best. At Café Lalo on New York’s Upper West Side, Kathleen Kelly waits to meet her mystery correspondent. Café Lalo is still on West 83rd Street between Broadway and Amsterdam, a perfect place [...]
This was a fun treat for a Wednesday morning as we get to see what some of our favourite superheroes would look like if they were sponsored by big name brands The idea comes from Italian artist Roberto Vergati Santos who has taken some well known superheroes (mostly from The Avengers) and has branded them as one might if they were actually real. [...]
Death and its effects come often to the realm of the moving picture and directors have long enjoyed dreaming up the end of world for our edification. To celebrate Barry Levinson’s waterbound parasitical zombie fest (that’s the pitch meeting wrapped up right there) The Bay we’re taking a look at some of the various imagined [...]
The first part of my first ‘Reel Ink’ of 2013 is a bit of a catch up, as this instalment of the column features books which were all published in 2012. Reel Ink #2 Part 1 includes the autobiography of a member of a Hollywood dynasty, a look at the city of Los Angeles within [...]
