Sleeping Beauty Review

sleeping-beauty

On face value, Australian author Julia Leigh’s Sleeping Beauty is both a sordid and brave film-making debut that will literally divide opinion. It’s not the nudity that is the main issue for most, rather the treatment of the main character, Lucy, played by Sucker Punch’s Emily Browning that triggers deep feelings of revulsion. At the [...]

Why Sucker Punch Deserves A Second Chance

Sucker Punch Stage

To the discerning film fan the modern multiplex can be a depressing and woefully uninteresting place to quench one’s thirst for cinematic pleasures. Filled as it so often is with unrelentingly banal and superficial Hollywood spectacles that fail to even be the simplistic fireworks displays that they appear to promise to be. To find a [...]

Russell Crowe Looking to Play Jor-El in Zack Snyder’s Superman: Man of Steel

russell crowe jor-el

Watching the Superman anthology on Blu-ray last week gave me a new appreciation for Marlon Brando’s stunt casting in the Richard Donner films. He was naturally very good as Jor-El, the Kryptionian scientist who cassandra’d his way into the mythology of Superman by predicting the imminent destruction of his home planet, and placing his gravitas [...]

Loads of Superman: Man of Steel Rumours!

Superman

It seems that all of a sudden the interweb is bursting at the seams with spoilerific rumours aplenty, all relating to Superman: Man of Steel.
