Fury is a simple film masquerading as a complex animal. Writer-director David Ayer presents a cocky yet typical platoon war movie as a bunch of characters band together to form, storm and norm again as a new recruit gets initiated. The difference being that instead of being sent to Hell on amphibious landing craft, we’re living, […]
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a comeback for Michael Keaton, an ambitious masterpiece from Alejandro González Iñárritu and another cinematic breakthrough for Emmanuel Lubezki. While these comments hold some weight, Birdman also happens to be one of the most overrated films of the year.
Americans flocked to the cinema in their droves this past weekend, with one movie in particular shattering records. A Clue? It has lots of guns.
The Academy Awards is already causing a bit of a stir – worthy nominations have been left off, and, most noticeably, the list is made up entirely of white folk.
Louis Zamperini’s story was bound to become a movie. The Olympian, war veteran and survivor’s tale of resilience and triumph of the human spirit is astounding. From his early years of fighting off bullies, training for the Olympics, war-time heroics, deep sea survival and prisoner-of-war camp degradation… we’re cast into an epic and powerful true […]
Robert Downey Jr. thinks he’s a god. His Twitter bio states “You know who I am.” and based on his runaway Hollywood success since he starred as Tony Stark in Iron Man, many would probably agree with his egotistical musings. Well, Iron Man has been cleared for landing… gracing us with his unequivocal presence in The Judge.
Exodus: Gods and Kings is a new action adventure drama from Ridley Scott based on the book of Exodus and retold from the perspective of a sibling rivalry. Instead of casting Russell Crowe for the third time, after Robin Hood and his former glory, Gladiator, Scott has enticed Christian Bale to play his hero, Moses.
Peter Jackson has unleashed The Hobbit Trilogy in a similar fashion to George Lucas’s quest to make the first three Star Wars films. Unfortunately, they too don’t live up to the former glory of the original trilogy. While many were quite skeptical about Jackson splitting the adaptation into not two, but three chapters… for the most part, he’s managed […]
SONY Pictures is not having the best time at the moment – between rather catty emails being leaked to new movie previews being made public, it’s a wonder they’re keeping so calm.
The Longest Week is one of those movies that is so caught up in trying to be something it’s not, that it loses its audience in the process. This is the work of Peter Glanz, whose admiration for Woody Allen and Wes Anderson have turned into the unwanted love child that is The Longest Week.
Horrible Bosses was dark, reasonably funny and featured a stellar cast. It was a vent for frustrated employees who wanted to see the little guy take revenge and served its purpose as a comedic stab at interoffice politics. The Office Space style scenario had its quirks and picked up some fans along the way, but no one was […]
(…And I thought I was having a bad hair day.) There’s a possibility that North Korea is unhappy with something that the United States did… Shock horror. Turns out it’s a comedy movie.
Tony Blaire might be not be the Prime Minister but at least he has taken the time for his annual Christmas Card shoot. Although, seriously… It should be burned, along with all the negatives.
Spud 3: Learning to Fly is the third part of the popular series of boarding school misadventures by John Van De Ruit. The film sees many actors reprise their roles, including stars Troye Sivan as John “Spud” Milton and John Cleese as “The Guv”. As if having three Johns wasn’t enough, they’ve gone and added another […]
Remember when no glass of water could be left un-rippled on any surface? When there was nothing more fun than slamming your hands on the table and pretending to be t-rex to your younger siblings…
Oh. My. god. Can someone say orange mocha frappucino with me? This is the best thing I have heard about since I heard about the Pitch Perfect sequel (yes, that’s happening too).
The Drop is a slow-boiling, character driven Brooklyn crime drama based on Dennis Lehane’s short story, Animal Rescue,about a Brooklyn bartender, who finds himself entwined in an investigation after a robbery gone awry. It’s quite surprising that this is Lehane’s first feature film screenplay when you consider his novels: Mystic River, Shutter Island and Gone Baby Gone have all been adapted into […]
Killer Robots seem to be a popular theme lately. Are they genuine, or has Elon Musk been watching a few too many re-runs of The Terminator?
This girl manages to entertain us endlessly, be it on the red carpet, on the Oscars’ stage , or on a TV talk show. She is real and natural and full of fun and humour. Now, bring on the Hunger Games.
A very interesting interview with gentleman, politician, libertarian and all around good guy (did I mention porn star?) James Deen.
The Godfather is one of the most iconic films of all time. Everyone has seen it, and thus you should recognise this house – it’s where Vito Corleone had his lair.
In a world filled with whistling men (usually workers in construction for some reason), it is not easy to make it from points A to B in silence. Now, imagine walking around attracting attention for 10 hours?
Christopher Nolan has become one of the few living directors, who could claim to be a household name. When he releases a film, it’s not just another movie… it’s a cinematic event.
Ah, the future is nigh. Hopefully Google will also soon have a robot that can bake lovely souffles and carrot cakes and hand feed me grapes all whilst waving a palm frond.
When the third movie is made, of that specific movie, it better be good. Check out this clip from the new The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.
Without the Harry Potter thing, Daniel Radcliffe is a pretty ordinary guy, something we tend to lose sight of when it comes to watching him in just about anything post-2011. He’s always been a bit of a cold fish, stubbornly determined yet tempered by his British-ness. Imagining him in a quirky Canadian comedy romance would have been […]
The general population loves believing in anything that is juicy and gossip-worthy. This poor teacher got the worst of it in a viral fake sex tape. Fun times for her.
The actor to play Steve Wozniak in the upcoming Apple film has been announced. Find out more here…
Here’s your daily dose of Hollywood gossip, because how dull would a day be without a bit of celebrity scandal…
Prepare to watch the most bizarre and awkward trailer ever, as Wetlands tells the story of a young German woman who is not afraid of getting dirty.
