You have to wonder just how far the senior execs at ITV’s drama department got into the first episode of Sherlock before decided to rip it off. My guess would be not very. It must have been utterly galling, for a network whose dramatic output had thrived on shows about brilliant detectives like Poirot, Marple [...]
Having not necessarily seen the poster, the film title automatically assumes a plane takeover at several thousand feet, like so many films before. However, this is a story of ‘terrorists at sea’ with writer-director Tobias Lindholm (The Hunt), putting to bed the romantic notion of swashbuckling pirates with a frank and tension-pounding pseudo-documentary account (based [...]
Bullet to the Head was Walter Hill’s long awaited (by me anyway) return to directing after a ten-year absence. When it came out in February it was not well received and not screened in advance for critics, but now it’s out on home formats it’s time for an agonising re-appraisal of the film. Taken on its [...]
In medical trials around 99% of the subjects suffer no actual side effects from the drugs that are pumped into them, but what about the other 1%? That’s what The Facility takes as its core idea and although it’s not a true story, it is presented as if it’s a reconstruction of an actual event. [...]
In childhood the monster that lived under my bed was a shadowy, shape-shifting fear of the unknown. By adulthood that monster had morphed into a more specific beast: insecurity. Will my relationship survive? Is my life, my job, my future, a joke? Who am I, how did I get here? Does anybody care?? Charlie Brooker’s [...]
What with the recent Evil Dead and Maniac adaptations, it seems that horror remakes are all the range at present, and now the conspicuously named Makinov has offered his own take on the 1976 Spanish feature Who Can Kill a Child? Though the filmmakers very own mysterious presence is even more chilling than the film [...]
With the success of the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo under his belt, plus the chance to work with leading lady Noomi Rapace once more, it was never going to be long before Danish director Niels Arden Oplev tried his hand at Hollywood revenge to further demonstrate his film-making skill. More exciting is [...]
It’s fitting that Sleepwalk with Me should play at Sundance London. It’s the kind of film which is reminiscent of the intimate, warmly humorous and sharply perceptive indie cinema which really came to personify the festival during the early 90s. The brainchild of US comedian Mike Birbiglia, it’s a film whose cinematic roots actually reach [...]
I imagine it’s difficult to make a romantic comedy that isn’t rife with clichés. I entered the screening for A CASE OF YOU with absolutely no expectations.; all I knew of the film was that Justin Long co-wrote it and starred alongside Evan Rachel Wood. Surprisingly, the film is a fun watch, but doesn’t [...]
Following on from his emotional teenage drama Soul Surfer, director Sean McNamara returns to a more infantile approach, as the director of successful kids’ TV shows That’s So Raven and Even Stevens now presents Robosapien, a film that is reminiscent of children’s films such as Agent Cody Banks. And yes, I have seen Agent Cody [...]
The eponymous Patrick White novel of which The Eye of the Storm is based upon, won the Nobel Prize in 1973, and has since been considered ‘unfilmable’. However such a myth has been dispelled somewhat, as Fred Schepisi’s first feature for close to a decade makes for a delectable visual experience, enhanced by a provocative [...]
The phrase alpha male conjures pictures of manly men and beastly beasts doing masculine things in a masculine way. One does not expect an alpha male to nurture, to caretake, or to love. Disneynature’s stunning new feature Chimpanzee tells the story of the exception to that rule. The exhilarating family adventure transports its audience to [...]
In the final moments of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek there was a tangible feeling of excitement. The film ended on a note of extreme anticipation of the journey ahead with the crew settled into their new roles, and we into this new Trek universe. It is a feeling which survives repeat viewings and now that [...]
Pablo Trapero once again plunges audiences into the life on the fringes of Buenos Aires, with his follow up to Carancho, and his latest feature White Elephant is a compelling, but flawed, drama. The title takes its name from the shell of a former hospital that dominates the downtown slums of the Argentinean capital. Surrounding [...]
Pedro Almodóvar, one of Spain’s most internationally acclaimed directors (he’s won two Academy Awards to date), returns to familiar territory with I’m So Excited, his first out-and-out comedy since Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was released some twenty three years ago. Gone are the somewhat sombre explorations of dark, labyrinthine subjects found [...]
Legendary author Ernest Hemingway may have lived a life chock-full of adventure but his biggest challenge appears to have been his own demons. Running From Crazy finds renowned documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple taking an intimate look at the legacy of mental health issues which have dogged three generations of the Hemingway family. To help her [...]
Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes is one of the most unique films you’ll see this year. It’s a dramatic psychological thriller with a powerful secret, captivating from the moment it begins; films of such a high calibre and with such an engaging premise have really been few and far between in recent memory. Kaya [...]
Coming from the creative minds of The Hangover writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, 21 and Over opens with a lingering shot of two men, casually strolling through the neighbourhood with no clothes on, only a mere sock to protect their dignity. With red marks on their body and scars from the night before – [...]
Marking writer-director Jeremy Lovering’s feature debut, In Fear is a strong and chilling film that is sure to be one of the best horror movies of the year. With brilliant performances from its leading trio, Alice Englert, Iain De Caestecker, and Allen Leech, the film takes you on a ride into the darkness of a [...]
Daniel Schechter’s Supporting Characters is one of six selections from the Tribeca Film Festival available via pay-per-view with Virgin Media, as well as select digital platforms including iTunes, PlayStation, and Xbox, and although it stars Alex Karpovksy alongside a cameoing Lena Dunham , that’s not all Supporting Characters shares with Girls. Just like the HBO/Sky Atlantic hit series, [...]
