Six Of The Best: The Directors – Roman Polanski

Roman Polanski

Roman Polanski is as famous for the events of his tumultuous life as he is for his often brilliant, highly influential body of work. Born in Paris in 1933 to Polish parents who unfortunately returned to Poland in 1937, Polanski survived the Nazi extermination of the inhabitants of Krakow’s Jewish ghetto (although his mother died [...]

When Cult Cinema Translates to Big Box Office


memento cult cinema

On its third week of release, Nicholas Winding Refn’s much-praised, pseudo-80’s neon noir Drive has slipped out of the US box office, having made a relatively modest $27m so far. In many ways this is a frustrating figure for a film which has been almost universally praised by critics, but it’s perhaps unsurprising why it [...]




Darren Aronofsky Set To Make Noah’s Ark Epic

Darren Aronofsky

Darren Aronofsky is looking to direct an epic re-telling of the story behind Noah’s Ark, entitled, Noah, Deadline reports. The project is one that he has written himself, and the script is being rewritten by John Logan, whose work is immensely impressive, including some of my favourite films: Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Sweeney Todd, and [...]




Black Swan Blu-ray Review

Black Swan 3D Blu-ray NEW

Entering the crowded arena of horror movies swoops Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, with grace and style enough to show up the borrowed nostalgia scares and toothless gorefrenzies of modern horror films for what they are, and in doing so giving me one of my favourite films of last year. The merits of Darren Aronofsky’s latest [...]




Aronofsky and Clooney Show Us Their Human Nature

Darren Aronofsky

Ever since Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Pi, Requiem for a Dream) jumped ship from The Wolverine, we have wondered which beach he would finally wash up on. Needless to say, the critical acclaim (and now apparently hefty BO receipts) enjoyed by Black Swan gave Aronofsky some breadth of choice and accordingly, we hear he may [...]

Déjà Vu: Movies You’ve Seen Before?

deja vu gallery

Sitting in the theater, popcorn in hand, you watch the previews roll on and get a funny feeling: Haven’t they already made this movie? Hollywood writers and producers are constantly working their creative juices to come up with fresh ideas, however, remakes, sequels, prequels, and the like have been a trend in the industry for [...]




Your Highness Review

Your-Highness-natalie-portman

Imagine The Princess Bride spilling into the world of Willow, then add liberal lashings of Cheech and Chong-esque stoner humour and you’re somewhere close to Your Highness, the follow-up to director David Gordon Green’s previous weed-tinged comedy, Pineapple Express (which featured the two leads here). Danny McBride (also onboard as co-writer) is the slacker prince [...]




Darren Aronofsky Leaves The Wolverine

aronosfsky wlverine

THR have reported that Darren Aronofsky has regretfully pulled himself out of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel, The Wolverine. It seems that the move is an amicable one with 20th Century Fox; the director simply felt he couldn’t spend the time out of the country and away from his family, which is understandable given that [...]

Black Swan Visual FX Reel

black-swan

With Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” currently being showered with countless accolades and awards for the likes of Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director it’s perhaps fitting that we should take time out to appreciate the film’s stunning FX work. And in an age where CGI is overly abundant, overused and over obvious it’s even [...]

A New Clip From Natalie Portman’s The Other Woman

To paraphrase Will Ferrell’s Mugatu from Zoolander, “Portman. So hot right now”. She justly grabbed herself a Golden Globe earlier this week for her performance in Black Swan (check out our review here) and was announced today to be up for a BAFTA for the same role. She is back in the blockbuster zone for the first [...]




Black Swan Review

The vivid and gripping Black Swan is one part Jungian psycho thriller, one part horror movie, and one part backstage drama, and while not the masterpiece some have proclaimed it to be, it’s a throughly entertaining ride, driven by an enthralling and very physical performance from Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman. Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) [...]
