Towards the end of last year, we heard that rising star Jessica Chastain, for whom 2011 was an incredibly impressive year, was set to play Princess Diana as the lead in the film Caught in Flight. Word now comes via Variety that Naomi Watts has been cast in the role instead, and will be directed [...]
The ever-prolific Clint Eastwood (this is his eleventh directorial feature since 2000) returns with the absorbing, if flawed, (mildly) revisionist take on the personal life of an equally revered and feared historical US figure. Tracing J. Edgar Hoover’s meteoric rise through the Justice Department and the Bureau of Investigation, to his leading role in establishing [...]
As the title suggests, Rodrigo García’s deeply affecting new drama, Mother and Child, lays bare the life-changing force of motherhood with dynamic bittersweet, harrowing and raw moments from its stellar cast. Annette Bening gives one of her most enigmatic and painfully frank performances yet that cuts direct to the core. The story follows three women: [...]
Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona’s last film, The Orphanage, was very well-received when it was released a few years ago and found a large audience beyondSpain, earning praise from English-speaking critics as well, and taking almost $80m. at the international box office, an impressive feat for a horror film, particularly one in Spanish. With The [...]

Imagine watching a film from the ‘Elm St’ series and suddenly finding one of Freddy Krueger’s razor-sharp taloned glove tapping you on the back. Or how would you feel if, viewing the scene in The Shining where Jack Nicholson finally loses it completely, his character from that very film shimmied into view, dragging his large [...]

Can you feel the Oscar buzz? We got the fantastic first look at Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming biopic, J. Edgar, back in the summer.

We got the first trailer and poster for the upcoming film Dream House back in July, and though the trailer would appear to be somewhat spoiling the plot, it was a great look at the film, and the poster is fantastic. Now, courtesy of Yahoo, we’ve got our first clip from the film outside of [...]

Quick word of warning – if you want to see this film then don’t watch the trailer. To even hint at some of the recent films whose influence is all over this one would be giving away too much. Unless the film is a huge psychological horror spanning generations then this trailer not only gives [...]
