Top 10: Traditional Non-Traditional Christmas Movies

Traditional-Non-Traditional-Christmas-Movies

Tradition and holidays go hand in hand.  Each brings with it family get-togethers that more often than not result in temporary insanity and promises to never do family get -togethers again.  Eating your Christmas dinner like it’s your last, which also results in promises to once again, never do that again.  Talk of politics at [...]

oprah-rickman-fonda-daniels

It’s always fun when those first images of an actor inhabiting the role of a well-known historical figure crop up online, and these on-set pics from Lee Daniels’ The Butler are no exception. Based on the tale of Eugene Allen, a White House servant who worked for eight of the First Families (talk about loyalty), [...]

The Paperboy poster

The film debuted at Cannes earlier this year to mixed reviews (you [...]




The Raven: John Cusack on Playing Edgar Allan Poe

John_Cusack_Edgar_Allan_Poe_Raven

Now that the critical dust has settled on John McTeigue’s fictional account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe perhaps it’s time to welcome The Raven onto DVD and Blu-ray with a soupçon of reappraisal? I wasn’t too kind to the film on its release. What ground there was to build a dark and [...]




Cannes 2012: The Paperboy Review

LEE DANIELS - THE PAPERBOY-47.DNG

Video Vault: High Fidelity

video vault high fidelity

“What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because [...]




The Raven Review

The Raven UK Poster

In spinning a macabre yarn around the final, mysterious days in the life of Edgar Allan Poe John Cusack and V for Vendetta director John McTeigue have delivered a film which cannot live up to the grisly beauty of Poe’s work and which fails to rise above the very ordinary serial killer fiction shoehorned into [...]




Three New Images from The Raven with John Cusack

The Raven

Directed by James McTeigue, the man responsible for bringing us the epic that is V for Vendetta, The Raven is hitting cinemas this Friday in the UK and it looks like it’s going to be brilliant.

New Images From The Raven Give Us Gloom & Portent

The Raven 4

How much do any of us really know in terms of what to expect from a film these days? Recent history is littered with impressive premises and trailers giving way to crushingly mediocre finished products, which makes The Raven a difficult one to call. It could be Seven meets Sleepy Hollow (in a good way), [...]

Fiery New Poster For James McTeigue’s The Raven With John Cusack

The Raven poster

All that we’ve seen so far from James McTeigue’s upcoming thriller, The Raven, has been very promising, most recently with the new trailer at the end of last year. Directed by McTeigue, whose credits include the brilliant V For Vendetta, the cast is led by John Cusack in the lead role of renowned poet Edgar Allen Poe, [...]




Six Of The Best – Little-Seen Gems

Audition v2

This sort of thing can rapidly turn into a vanity project, so I will have to watch my step a little. Laudable as it is to try to bring to people’s attention some splendid films which they may not have seen, it can swiftly deteriorate into, “oh gosh, you haven’t seen Cube: Zero, what kind [...]




Excellent First Poster For Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy

The Paperboy poster

Lee Daniels began lining up a terrific cast for his follow-up to the Oscar-winning Precious earlier this year, when Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, Tobey Maguire, and Sofía Vergara were announced as coming on board The Paperboy. After a bit of a cast change-up, switching Maguire for John Cusack and Vergara for Nicole Kidman, and adding [...]




New Trailer for The Raven

The Raven Poster

A new trailer has appeared online for John McTeigue’s film The Raven which takes a fictional swipe at the last days of poet of the night (not ‘of the night’ in a prostitute way, not nocturnal, you know what I mean) Edgar Allan Poe, and it’s rather nice. John Cusack beards up and takes on [...]
