A film like this lives and dies with its child actors, and George Tillman, Jr. found an incredibly talented leading duo for The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete. Relative newcomers Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon take the titular roles of Mister and Pete, respectively, and their performances are two of the most memorable and [...]
Marking Lynn Shelton’s return behind the camera following her acclaimed Your Sister’s Sister, Touchy Feely is yet another remarkable feature from one of the most unique voices in the industry. Rosemarie DeWitt and Josh Pais are terrific as the co-leads of a brilliant ensemble cast. DeWitt plays Abby, a free-spirited massage therapist who is suddenly [...]
Part family drama, part romantic comedy, part Hollywood satire – there is much to be admired by Lake Bell’s directorial debut In a World…, as the actress has taken a leaf out of Lena Dunham’s book, in writing, directing and starring in a feature that signals a continuing shift in fortunes for female comedy writers, [...]
Following on from the impressive critical success of Gareth Evans’ profitable Indonesian action thriller The Raid, it appears that travelling to Southeast Asia to make movies is a rather wise move for British filmmakers at present, as Sean Ellis’ Philippines set Metro Manila is a striking piece of cinema, as a powerful tale of family [...]
Old naked ladies, rivers of blood, locked rooms. Where have we seen all of these things before? The Shining of course. Guess who else has seen The Shining? Rob Zombie, of course. He’s seen The Shining and he really liked it, so he put a load of things from The Shining in his new film. [...]
In this job, one of the most rewarding experiences is discovering a new filmmaker who bursts onto the scene with a film seemingly out of nowhere and one which exceeds all expectations. This year, first time writer/director Meera Menon along with writer/producer Laura Goode debuted their film FARAH GOES BANG to audiences at the Tribeca [...]
Having debuted here at the London Film Festival two years back, Richard Linklater’s darkly comedic character study finally receives a theatrical release. This gap may have been, in part, down to the distributor, as the film isn’t the easiest to market. It’s a quiet, muted affair with a style of humour worlds away from the [...]
This year, the Tribeca Film Festival has offered up a variety of different genre films to indulge in. They range from compelling dramas to uplifting sports documentaries. There are a few comedies and even some good old-fashioned horror films thrown in for good measure, and then there’s BIG BAD WOLVES – a film so brilliant [...]
Although cinephiles across the globe are currently preparing themselves for the glitz and glamour of the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival, we still haven’t worked our way through the features ‘In Competition’ from last years’ event yet, one of which is the emotionally charged World War Two drama In the Fog, as Belarusian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s [...]
The ABCs of death is a somewhat difficult film to critically analyse, as it’s made up of 26 different films by separate directors, linked only by the theme of death. The most straight-forward and legitimate way to therefore examine this picture, is to go on the ratio of good movies compared to the rather forgettable [...]
Fans of Shane Carruth’s directorial debut Primer – a low budget sci-fi flick that not only earned the filmmaker the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival, but a reverent cult following – have had to wait patiently for nine years to finally witness the talented director’s return, with his sophomore feature Upstream Color finally [...]
With Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake now out in cinema it seems a fine time for the sequel to Raimi’s original cult classic to be given the Blu-ray treatment. The film is actually a remake. More money and fewer production problems result a much scarier, camp follow-up that some may say even surpasses the original. [...]
What happened next to billionaire Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, after facing an alien wormhole over Manhattan in last summer’s hit The Avengers? Writer-director Shane Black (of Lethal Weapon fame) with screenwriter Drew Pearce co-pens the answer in the latest of the Iron Man franchise, a sequel to The Avengers, showing Stark as more vulnerable [...]
Every year, a horror film will emerge and declare itself a game changer. It touts its originality as a benchmark in the genre. It features epic quotes in its trailer from critics that call it “TERRIFYING” and boast about how they were on the edge of their seat the whole time. MR. JONES, is not [...]
This is a mockumentary much like the most famous uses of the style – The Office, Arrested Development and so on – but applies it to the creation of a separate film. It takes us behind the scenes of a horror production (Total Hell) and shows all of the problems of filmmaking, financing and distribution [...]
To say SOME VELVET MORNING is a different sort of film is an understatement. Its director, Neil LaBute has maintained his status as a provacateur, ‘sit has characters that make you want to reach through the screen and choke to death, and a premise that doesn’t evoke any particular interest. Yet somehow, it’s one of [...]
Formerly marketed under the (far better) title The King of Soho, Michael Winterbottom’s fourth collaboration with Steve Coogan charts the life of the late Paul Raymond; at one point the richest man in Britain. Like the current holder of that title, Lakshmi Mittal, Raymond’s fortune grew from small beginnings to market dominance, but where Mittal’s [...]
Director George A.Romero is perhaps best known for his horror work and being the granddaddy of the zombie film, but in 1981 he changed tack completely and released this trippy drama which feels like Sons of Anarchy by way of Dungeons and Dragons. Knightriders feels very much a film of its time and is one [...]
Biopics about famous musicians are usually guaranteed to attract audiences. In most cases, the subject has achieved a status in the industry which warrants a big screen telling of the story of their life. Here we have GREETINGS FROM TIM BUCKLEY, a film that may or may not be a biopic at all. The film [...]
Susanne Bier’s previous feature, the Academy Award-winning In A Better World, was a largely serious affair that grappled with lofty themes of injustice, violence and retribution, so it’s not at all surprising that she would want to follow it up with something a little more light-hearted. In Love Is All You Need she’s delivered something [...]
