We all know Dudley Moore’s infamous performance as Arthur in the 1981 original. He was a spoilt, rich, man-child who had no grasp on the real world, and this is exactly what Russell Brand’s character, Arthur, in the 2011 version of this film is like. Unfortunately, because we’ve already seen this character 20 years ago, [...]
The Debt is a gripping political thriller, that uses a fantastic cast and great script, to bring to life the story of three Mossad agents and their mission to find a Nazi war criminal. The story jumps between 1997 and 1965, and uses the thriller genre as a shell for the film’s narrative which, makes [...]
“No thanks, let’s go and see that other one where Romeo and Juliet are garden gnomes”. Being turned down yet again, I concluded it was going to be impossible to persuade anyone to come and see Rowan Joffe’s remake of the British iconic classic, Brighton Rock. When asking anyone if they wanted to go, the [...]
Rowan Joffe’s debut feature, an updated adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel set in the 1930s Brighton underworld, was largely met with hostility from critics and indifference from cinemagoers when it was released earlier this year. The film will have another chance to find an audience when it’s released on DVD and Blu-ray on June 20th. [...]
Brighton Rock arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on June 20th – we have three DVD copies of the noir thriller to give away. Adapted from Graham Greene’s brilliant 1939 novel, Brighton Rock charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager. Screenwriter Rowan Joffe’s debut feature Brighton Rock embraces the classic elements of film [...]

Title: The Debt Director: John Madden Cast: Sam Worthington, Ciarán Hinds, Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson, Jessica Chastain, Jesper Christensen, Adar Beck Synopsis: In 1965, three [...]
Following on from our interview with co-star Greta Gerwig yesterday, we also (briefly) sat down with director Jason Winer to discuss his big-screen debut of the famed 80’s comedy, Arthur. Winer (who is also an actor and comedian) is perhaps best known for being one of the directors on the award-winning ABC US series Modern [...]
The remake of 80’s comedy Arthur is out now in cinemas and we were lucky to grab a couple of minutes to chat with rising star and Russell Brand’s love interest in the film, Greta Gerwig. The film marks her second role in a big, mainstream Hollywood comedy (she featured in rom-com No Strings Attached [...]
If you’ve seen the original Arthur, there’s not much (if any) point in seeing this remake. Unless, of course, you’re a diehard Russell Brand fan. Perhaps the most complained about problem with Arthur, besides the fact that it’s starring Russell Brand, is the tagline “Meet the world’s only lovable billionaire.” A couple of valid points [...]
Usually when London is on the world stage for any movie premiere or event, it’ll be freezing cold, windy and raining but it seems that someone paid a pretty penny to have the sun shining down on London’s O2 area. last night for the European Premiere of Russell Brand’s new movie Arthur. This footage comes [...]
We showed you a poster a few days back for “The Debt”, the latest film from John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, Mrs Brown), all about three Israeli Mossad agents who venture into East Berlin looking for the Surgeon of Birkenau, a notorious Nazi who had experimented on people during the Holocaust. The film matches the [...]
The Funny or Die team tickle those funny bones yet again. Last week D-lister Tara Reid demonstrated previously unearthed comedic chops in a spoof sequel to The Big Lebowski (from an actual fib she perpetuated) and now another sequel (of sorts) has been created. A fun little satire of La La Land, original star and [...]
Been a while since we saw anything new for Helen Mirren’s new movie, The Debt so I thought I’d take the opportunity to place this new poster. The Debt is directed by John Madden and also stars Sam Worthington, Tom Wilkinson, Ciarán Hinds, Jessica Chastain and Marton Csokas. Synopsis: In 1965, three young Israeli Mossad [...]

The Tempest brings Shakespeare’s final masterpiece to the big screen, I caught up with Djimon Hounsou where we talked about his Director Julie Taymor, and stars Helen Mirren and Russell Brand. The Tempest stars Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Alan Cumming, Chris Cooper, Djimon Hounsou and is directed by Julie Taymor. Synopsis: In Julie [...]
So, with the release date of the 22nd of April hovering ominously on the horizon I think it’s time we had another look at Jason Winer’s remake of Arthur, don’t you? The film updates the 1981 film, replacing Dudley Moore with Russell Brand and John Gielgud with Helen Mirren, but keeps the same premise, that [...]
Warner Bros. have just sent us this brand new poster for their new movie Arthur which accompanies the trailer which we posted last week. The new poster shows Russell Brand in his kingly chair flanked by Hellen Mirren and Jennifer Garner who also star in the movie. I’ve placed a couple of original 1981 posters [...]
