When it comes to being a jack of all trades, Quentin Dupieux wrote the book. He can write, produce, shoot, edit, score, and these abilities have led to an extremely successful career both in music and film. His last film, Rubber, the story of a killer car tyre with psychic powers was a runaway success [...]
Last week, Director Armando Bo (screenwriter of Biutiful), had the opportunity to premiere his new film The Last Elvis at the Sundance Film Festival here in Park City. It is a touching story about an Argentinian Elvis impersonator, who slowly starts to slip further and further into the mindset of the man he is impersonating. [...]
If you had asked around a year ago, you would probably be hard pressed to find many people outside of Alabama who were familiar with Country/Folk duo The Civil Wars. Yet somehow in just 8 short months, Joy Williams and John Paul White have been able to propel themselves from a place off the radar [...]
7 years ago Tina Fey introduced us to a group of irredeemable high school girls known as the Plastics in her film Mean Girls. As crude, and over exaggerated as these characters were, there was just enough truth in them to make them appear familiar. Let’s be real, we’ve all known at least one or [...]
The ever-talented Rashida Jones makes her writing debut with co-writer Will McCormack on Celeste and Jesse Forever, which has been rapturously received at Sundance in the past few days. Our man in the States, Ty Cooper, was lucky enough to catch the film at its world premiere, and you can read his five-star review of [...]
When it comes to their art, M. Shawn Crahan (Slipknot) and Corey Taylor (Slipkot/Stone Sour) have never been the type of guys to cave in to the harsh words of their critics. Throughout their careers, these two men have always fought the hard battle to free themselves from the sort of genre trappings that many [...]
Nicholas Jarecki’s feature directorial debut in Arbitrage has just made its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival out in Park City, Utah, and boasts an impressive cast that includes Richard Gere in the lead, supported by Tim Roth, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling, and Nate Parker. A new clip from the film has surfaced over at [...]
The surprise winner of last year’s Sundance Film Festival was Like Crazy: unconventional filmmaker Drake Doremus’ take on the highs and lows of love. Unlike other romantic dramas, this one is able to subvert the clichéd trends and offer a simple yet fruitful romance story that relishes in its low-key charm. Anna (Felicity Jones), a [...]
As I lined up for the press screening of Nadine Labaki’s Where Do We Go Now? I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The official Sundance programming guide described it as an emotionally charged film about religious differences in a small town in Lebanon and, oh yeah, did mention it’s also a musical? Never [...]
On the surface Celeste and Jesse seem like the perfect couple. Their obnoxiously profuse amount of inside jokes, the way they hang all over each other, and the hours upon hours of time they spend together, give the impression that they are a match made in heaven. Except Celeste and Jesse are not really together, [...]
Many things have changed in the 5 years since I last visited the Sundance Film Festival in Park City UT. The crowd has changed, the hot button issues are different, and there seems to be less of an emphasis on what awesome celebrity will be present during the 10 day event. However the one thing [...]
This is a film I’m really, really looking forward to. Last year, we got to see Bradley Cooper take a very impressive turn leading what became a stellar box office success in Limitless, and this year should be another great one for the rising star. He’ll be starring opposite Ryan Gosling in Derek Cianfrance’s generational [...]
Quentin Dupieux is back! No, I’m not sure who he is either but nevertheless I’m intrigued. His previous effort called Rubber – a film reported as being an exercise in ‘intellectual w**kery’ and B-movie tackyness – was well received and concerning as it did a murderous car tyre with homicidal intent how could it not [...]
At just 32 years old Mike Cahill has amassed a small but strong list of credits to his name. While studying economics at Georgetown University Cahill met Brit Marling, and a shared passion for cinema resulted in them collaborating on short films which Cahill would direct and Marling would star in. Several years later the [...]
We got to see a clip from festival favourite, Martha Marcy May Marlene and even the chap from 20th Century Fox who are distributing the movie struggled with the title but you couldn’t blame him because it really is a mouthful! The film stars Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, John Hawkes, Hugh Dancy, Brady Corbet, Christopher [...]
A film we’re very much looking forward to, and one that we here in the UK have to wait until the 3rd of Febraury next year to see, is Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene and this new poster and trailer isn’t helping… Elizabeth Olsen won great acclaim at Sundance, where the film had its [...]
Boasting a fantastic cast led by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir, and Imogen Poots, A Late Quartet sounds like it’s going to be one of the finer indie films to look forward to next year. The Playlist have now got a nice first look at the film, which is to be [...]
Fox were very keen to show off their Sundance indie hit Martha Marcy May Marlene at Big Screen recently despite the difficultly inherent in remembering the name of the film. Sean Durkin’s film looks stunning and we were treated to these new trailers which have found their way out into the open today via the [...]
To mark the release of The Company Men on DVD and Blu-ray NOW, Universal Pictures have given us five copies of the movie for you to win on DVD. When you fall from grace, you often fall hard. Academy Award®* winners Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper and Kevin Costner star in this compelling [...]
Paddy Considine is an absolute favourite of mine. In my opinion Dead Man’s Shoes is one of the best films ever made and I’m pleased to see that the awesome actor is now turning his hand to directing. His debut film is Tyrannosaur and stars Peter Mullan, Eddie Marsan, Olivia Colman and played the Sundance Film [...]
