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 [...]
First of all, let’s debunk the myth that Oscar always gets it wrong. Of course there are wild differences of opinion out there over what is the Best Film™ of any given year. Plenty of people (though not me) think The Hurt Locker was wildly over-rated and something else (Avatar – really?) should have won. [...]
(This article contains some minor spoilers for Django Unchained and be warned that most of the clips included are NSFW) Like many of Tarantino’s previous films Django Unchained is filled to the brim with film references. Below I’ve attempted to guide you through some of these references and links to other films. I’ve only seen the film once at [...]
Robert De Niro’s resume scans as well as anyones, it would be fatuous in the extreme to try to make some sort of finest actor of his generation/all time/New Hollywood/zip code claim, so let’s just keep it simple. In his back catalogue are some of the finest acting performances ever put on screen and considering [...]
When I think back to the first time I truly fell in love with movies, it was while watching GOODFELLAS at twelve years old. It was my first encounter with Scorsese, DeNiro, Pesci and abundant violence. It was like a wake up call (I know at 12 years old that seems hyperbolic, but compared to [...]
In the past, the directorial debuts of Hollywood A-listers have traditionally served as an opportunity to make character-driven films which are more intimate in nature and scope (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Ordinary People, Little Man Tate). Even Mel Gibson scaled it back to make the thoughtful and moving The Man Without A Face before [...]
For a director as venerable as Martin Scorsese, arguably the greatest living filmmaker, pinpointing one of his cinematic masterpieces as his best will always be essentially impossible. Having covered such a wide range of genres over his career, there will never be a definitive consensus, however his 1990 film GoodFellas presents possibly the most compelling [...]
Similar to last year’s The Social Network, Middle Men offers another online phenomenon (this time the rise of internet porn) as the basis for a tale of greed, deception and the vast financial rewards to be reaped from it all (all at the cost of everything else, of course). It’s a sprightly, if derivative yarn [...]
Marking the directorial debut of writer-director David Michôd, Animal Kingdom is a classic crime drama, showcasing extraordinary acting, inspiring directing and the best of Australian cinema. The film centres on 17-year-old Joshua (James Frecheville) as he is thrown into the deep end when forced to move in with his grandmother, Janine ‘Smurf’ Cody (Jacki Weaver), and [...]
Martin Scorsese has been sharing his thoughts about 3D and how it may factor into the future of the big screen experience. Chatting to Mark Kermode in The Observer last week, the Goodfellas auteur sees the tool as potentially revolutionising what we see. “Every shot is rethinking cinema, rethinking narrative – how to tell a [...]
I have been lentil-lovingly vegetarian for over twenty years, yet eighty minutes into a screening at Sony last week I was hit with the alarming and overwhelming urge to see a roast duck dismembered. What fresh madness was this? The power of film my friends. Essential to the climax of Julie & Julia (reviewed here) [...]
