Utah, 1856. A young boy sees his family murdered by a gang of outlaws. He grows up to become “Lucky Luke” (Jean Dujardin), a suave and cheeky gunslinger who always seems to be able to work his way out of a tight spot. He is recruited by the US President to bring peace to Daisy [...]
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films. In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that [...]
A survey was conducted recently by Bombay Sapphire with the aim of adding to the ongoing debate of originality and imagination in cinema and the results, though not surprising, appeared to point to a contradiction in how those terms can be applied in getting quality films out to their audience. The results from the research [...]
I don’t like what McG stands for and consequently I hate This Means War. Throughout this article that may become tediously clear. The film is rubbish and in a box-office that this week has been buoyed to a long overdue comparative high I regret that a large chuck of that success is constituted by the [...]
Yes, I used the word ‘madcap’. It doesn’t get used enough and I’m always happy to throw it out there when I feel its appropriate. And this video reeks of appropriateness. It’s easy to forget that less than a week ago we were following the happenings in Tinsletown, States for the Oscars. Sleep deprived and, [...]
Right! It’s another caffeine fuelled night ahead of us as we prepare to liveblog the 84th Academy Awards. The Artist is the favourite to scoop up the awards tonight, which would round off a grand few days for Michel Hazanavicius and his silent film which run rampant through the Cesars and Independent Spirit awards but [...]
Sunday night brings a gold-plated backslap to the world of film and whatever the results of the Oscars there will be debate and derision in equal measure. The question of relevance will rear its ugly, pointless head again and whether we see The Artist running riot over the opposition or if Scorsese’s Hugo takes home [...]
The Best Picture accolade at the Academy Awards if probably the most vaunted, talked about, and prestigious prizes in the world of film. This reputation is impressive given that not a year goes by when the choice for nominations, and sometimes even the winner, are at best baffling and at worst completely inexplicable. Here I’ll [...]
It’s the tail end of half-term and The Woman in Black and The Muppets have cleaned up for the second week in a row. The weekend has also thrown up a terrible selection of new releases with only one smashing its way into the currently robust top 10. Not surprising considering the strong releases of [...]
Having recently crossed the Atlantic to come to the UK and Ireland as well, things are looking better than ever for Netflix, the online streaming service. To add further to their successes, Netflix and The Weinstein Company have just announced a multi-year licensing agreement that will see foreign-language, documentary, and certain other films available exclusively [...]
After a somewhat surprising victory last weekend at the BAFTAs, with the silent movie The Artist taking the Best Original Screenplay for writer-director Michel Hazanavicius, it looks like all bets might well be off for the same category at the Academy Awards in a week and half’s time. The Artist is one of the five [...]
So there we have it. The 2012 BAFTA Awards have now drawn to a close. The Artist had an amazing night taking seven awards including that of the award for Best Film. Michel Hazanavicius’s black and white silent film also took awards for Best Actor, Original Music, Cinematography, Costume Design, Original Screenplay, Best Director and [...]
Thank you so much Funny or Die for bringing this video into our lives! French actor, Jean Dujardin has recently hit the big time in the English speaking world after his stunning performance in The Artist (our coverage here) and with the Oscars coming up, there was no better time to get involved with the [...]
When we look at the names up for Best Film at this year’s BAFTA awards what is evident and of particular interest is the absence of a clear favourite. Last year The King’s Speech picked up an unusual amount of momentum and there was no huge surprise when the envelopes were opened and Messrs Firth [...]
The lovely people at BAFTA have given us the honour of debuting these five rather brilliant brochure covers for the upcoming awards next Sunday 12th February. The five covers have been designed by Eda Akaltun & StudioSmall (heartagency.com & studiosmall.com) and depict the five movies that have been nominated in the Best Film category at [...]
Well no, since you asked. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t deeply flawed. The Oscars are the high watermark of film recognition. The red carpet trampling, lovvie love-a-thon that is the motion picture awards season starts in earnest with the Golden Globes in early January and extravagantly culminates every year in late February with the [...]
Fearing a remake of The Artist and wondering whether Meryl Streep could take Robert Downey Jr in a fight. I’m brainstorming crazy stuff that Tom Cruise might jump off. For a movie. Obviously. Why? Well, you can bet somebody, somewhere, with a lot more power and influence than me is doing just that. Maybe I [...]
Whilst we were sleeping last night, the 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held out in L.A., one of a handful of awards ceremonies that have proven useful in the past in the predictions ahead of the Academy Awards, coming this year on 26th February. Tate Taylor’s The Help had four nominations, and took [...]
While Uggie the dog didn’t patter away with anything Michel Hazanavicius’s charming paean to the age of silent cinema took home three of the top awards at tonight’s ceremony. Hazanavicius won for Best Director, his star Jean Dujardin was awarded the Best Actor prize and the London critics placed The Artist at the top of [...]
This morning I was glancing around the internet as usual looking for some inspiration and instead I found a whole heap of stupid. It’s the kind of stupid you don’t expect to find when perusing the broadsheets, it’s the kind of Peter Hitchens starey-eyed, brains to the wall, life threatening thickness that makes you wonder [...]
