Six Of The Best: The Directors – Richard Donner

Richard Donner

Man of Steel hits cinema screens on both sides of the pond today and although mixed feelings persist about Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns (it came out seven years ago – where does the time go?), Richard Donner’s original Superman: The Movie continues to hold up (and be held up) as the high-point of the character’s [...]

Top Ten: Christmas Movie Performances

Christmas Vacation

Not to be snobbish about it, but as a rule the acting performances in Christmas films tend not to be the strongest. There are of course exceptions (hence this feature), but often the appeal in these films lies in the warm glow of Christmas sentiment, or simple, uncomplicated comedy. Think young Culkin in Home Alone [...]




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 [...]

A Bronx Tale Blu-ray Review

A Bronx Tale Blu-ray

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 [...]




Shakespeare on Film: Five to Watch

Coriolanus UK Poster

The best of this week’s DVD releases is Ralph Fiennes’ directorial debut Coriolanus and he translates his fearless embodiment of the battle scarred general shoe-horned into a politician’s role with tremendous effect.
