Kooky legal dramas such as Ally McBeal and Boston Legal have been a mainstay of the U.S. television networks for years, but while this niche was once the sole purview of writer/producer David E. Kelley, that’s no longer the case. And to prove the point I’d like the court to consider Franklin & Bash, the [...]
When the line up for this year’s London Film Festival was announced earlier this month there was a sigh of relief as Michel Hazanavicius’s film was revealed to be part of the programme. The short clip that was played in the festival’s opening montage was for some, me included, the first glance of the film [...]
Coming on the heels of its success at the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival, The Weinstein Company have released the first official trailer and poster for The Artist. Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist stars Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller, Malcolm McDowell and Missi Pyle. Hollywood 1927. George Valentin [...]
Though this is billed as a trailer to the forthcoming Tim Chey film Suing the Devil it is more of an extended clip, and it sets up the film nicely. If your trailer needs are not being met I’ve included that below also. I do it because I love you. Malcolm McDowell as the devil? [...]
Vampires are everywhere, with Fright Night and the new Twilight just two of the fang-friendly films coming our way, along with the one we’re all waiting for: Ninjas Vs. Vampires, it’s now such an accepted convention that we now no longer require any suspension of disbelief. Enter into the ring Amy Heckerling, whose Fast Times [...]
I recently had the privilege of attending a screening of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece A Clockwork Orange in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the film and to mark the release of the Blu-ray box set ‘Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection.’ What made this particular screening special was an introductory Q&A session with the film’s star Malcolm [...]
Coming four years after his incendiary turn in Lindsay Anderson’s If… Malcolm McDowell sauntered on screen in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange as Alex, a showtune whistling psychopath with a love of Beethoven and his own particular brand of theatrical ultraviolence. Few films retain their ability to shock an audience, yet as A Clockwork Orange, [...]
Barry Munday (Patrick Wilson) is a bit of a loser and a faintly unpleasant one at that. Thoroughly obsessed with breasts, constantly on the prowl and endlessly incompetent in social situations. One day he tries to strike up a rapport with a vaguely under age girl while at the cinema, her father appears armed with a [...]
Two new names are lining up for visceral disembowelings in the dark as Michael J. Bassett’s horror sequel Silent Hill: Revelation 3D gets underway in Toronto. Carrie-Anne Moss and Malcolm McDowell are joining returning survivors from the first film Sean Bean and Radha Mitchell, and will play Claudia and Leonard Wolf (presumably father and daughter). [...]
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have been kind enough to give us three copies of their new movie, Easy A on Blu-ray which is released on both DVD and Blu-ray 28th February. The movie has an all-star cast which includes Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Dan Byrd, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Cam Gigandet, Lisa [...]
It’s time to grab that garlic and stock up on your supply of holy water as news comes in that romantic-comedy Vamps has landed three more actors. Sigourney Weaver, Krysten Ritter and Alicia Silverstone (hoping to strike comic gold again with her Clueless director Amy Heckerling) have already signed on, and now Malcolm McDowell, Zak [...]
Sony Pictures have just sent us the brand new international trailer for their new movie, Easy A. It’s directed by Will Gluck and stars Emma Stone, Lisa Kudrow, Patricia Clarkson, Malcolm McDowell, Thomas Hayden Church, Stanley Tucci Alyson Michalka, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes and Dan Byrd. Synopsis: On the heels of a little white lie [...]
All eyes are on Emma Stone as she takes her next steps away from Zombieland and Paper Man towards the crowded realm of teen comedy with Will Gluck’s Easy A. With a copy of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter secreted between the covers of your average high school yearbook Easy A tells the story of [...]
We previously posted the International Poster for Woody Allen’s latest – You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger, and while his film from last year, Whatever Works, has only just found its way into UK cinemas, this one will be released in the US at the end of September. Not to leave International audiences out [...]
Two new posters debuted today, one is pretty great and the other pretty terrible, I’ll let you decide which is which. The first is the Spanish poster for Woody Allen’s London bound You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger which is out in the US on the 22nd of September, while we here in the [...]
Emma Stone is carving out a nicely erratic career path in Hollywood, taking in the expected teen comedies and then throwing a turn to star in Zombieland and Paper Man. While Easy A looks like being closer to sitting happily in the former category, I’m hoping there’ll be enough of a twist in the sexual [...]
