08 Jan 2014 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Kung Fury is a visually spectacular action comedy that has it’s foundation in 80s cop movies. In the movie, Kung Fury travels back in time from the 80s to kill Hitler. Best plot ever, right?

20 Dec 2013 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Not only is Stiller directing this remake, he’s also managed to lure Kirstin Wig, Adam Scott and the stellar Sean Penn (his breakout film was a comedy) onto the cast list. The trailer itself is perhaps one of the best this year, with breathtaking cinematography, cutscenes that illustrate Walter Mitty’s beautiful but very delusional imagination, and a soundtrack that no one can argue with.

Let’s Chat About This New Sex Drama, ‘Nymphomaniac’ [VIDEO]
19 Dec 2013 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Danish film director Lars Von Trier has a hard time compromising his vision, so it comes as no surprise that Von Trier’s most recent endeavour ‘Nymphomaniac’ is five hours long. The movie follows a sex addict named Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) throughout eight chapters, vividly detailing her sexual journey using porn stars as body doubles for scenes of unstimulated sex. Selected press got their hands on an abridged and censored four hour version, and although it’s too early to say, it seems to be faring well, with The Telegraph’s Tim Robey giving it four out of five stars.

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Hunger Games – Catching Fire
20 Nov 2013 by SPLING / No Comments
The Hunger Games underplayed its hand. While competent and carried by a strong performance from Jennifer Lawrence, Gary Ross seemed like the wrong director for the film.
