Currently filming his latest comedy drama The Grand Budapest Hotel, which is set to star an ensemble cast including Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, and Saoirse Ronan, Wes Anderson has been producing quirky dramas for almost twenty years at this point in time. Director, screenwriter, actor, and producer of features, short films and commercials, Anderson’s work [...]
First of all, let’s debunk the myth that Oscar always gets it wrong. Of course there are wild differences of opinion out there over what is the Best Film™ of any given year. Plenty of people (though not me) think The Hurt Locker was wildly over-rated and something else (Avatar – really?) should have won. [...]
Although Michael Mann’s most recent project as director was the sadly cut short TV drama Luck, it is clearly and rightly as a feature film director that he is best known and most highly regarded. His first decade as a director was devoted to shorts, documentaries and TV and although he remained committed to none-more-80′s [...]
This is perhaps as good a time as any to look at some of Hitch’s best work. Our esteemed Jon Lyus looked at some of his best scenes/set pieces (a list I had some issues with, but then these features are for nothing if not to stir the pot of debate a little) a few weeks [...]
To begin with an obvious statement. It is impossible to narrow the achievements of Hitchcock to six moments, or even to six films. This is not intended to be a primer on the cinematic genius of the man, however here I am illustrating six moments of discovery, six moment of clarity when I realised just [...]
No-one is questioning that there are times when you want to switch off to watch a film. Unwinding, checking out, call it what you will, we all need the occasional bit of mindless entertainment to chill out to at the end of a busy day. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But cinema can be [...]
It is very easy to get misty-eyed and sentimental when a major Hollywood player passes away and lose perspective. Revisionist histories abound as all and sundry rush to commemorate the passing of the greatest actor/actress/writer/director/producer of his/her (delete as appropriate) generation. Having said that, the loss of director Tony Scott in what is said to [...]
We’ve been trawling through the veritable Armada of Christmas films out there to bring you a festive Video Vault and you will have seen over the past few days how those films have stood up to the test of time. For your further Christmas enjoyment we thought we would bring you a sample of some [...]
In 2009 the ex Mr Madonna (otherwise known as Guy Ritchie) called upon the unlikely pairing of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law to bring back to the screen two of crime fiction’s greatest heroes – Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The pair are up there amongst the most filmed literary characters, Holmes has been [...]
Spielberg’s been out of the director’s chair for a little while (since Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls) but is making up for lost time by putting out action-adventure spectacle (Tintin) and serious drama (War Horse) in short succession. It’s like 1993 all over again. In honour of Spielberg returning to action, here are six of [...]
Reviewing this box set when it is out in stores and in all probability snapped up by eager Star Wars fans seems a little unnecessary. The promise of a shiny high def transfer and the long awaited deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy conspire to tempt you to part with your cash once more, to [...]
This may be an exercise in futility, or at least an attempt to distil down a real wealth of material into a fairly artificial concept, however in honour of the Star Wars franchise finally making its way onto Blu-ray, here are my considered nominations for the best set pieces, one per film, of the whole [...]
It’s been almost three and a half decades since Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope hit the big screens and took the world by storm, and in all of the years following, the series of six films has penetrated pop culture across the world in a way that very, very few films or franchises [...]
