  • Paranormal Activity guys are going down to The River

    Movie News | Chris | 3rd September 2010

    The creative team behind the Paranormal Activity franchise is bringing the found footage gimmick to the Amazon with their next project. They just better pray they don't run into the kids from Cannibal Holocaust along the way.

  • Ted Danson hates whales

    Movie News | Chris | 1st September 2010

    Larry David's frenemy is causing trouble again, this time angering the population of the Arctic ocean. Rumors that Kirstie Alley will be playing one of the whales have not been substantiated.

  • Doug Liman looking to kill at the box-office with his next film

    Movie News | Chris | 24th August 2010

    Director Doug Liman may be punching the clock for Warner Bros as he is in the running to helm an adaptation of the ridiculously titled Japanese time-travel thriller, All You Need Is Kill. The only catch is that they've set a firm start date, and now it's a race against time to get the film under way. Relax. I think that's all the time related gags I can think of at the moment.

  • Take a hike, MJ: Spidey aims to catch new girl in his web

  • Judge Dredd to appeal to the Urban market

    Movie News | Chris | 19th August 2010

    And by Urban market, I mean folks who were bamboozled by a thoroughly bland actor doing a serviceable impression of DeForest Kelley.

  • Black Swan trailer is crazy, sexy, features hot girls making out

    Darren Aronofsky returns with his follow up to The Wrestler, and... um... Did I just see Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis making out in that trailer? (*swoon*)

  • The Brothers Bloom

    Movie Review | Chris | 7th June 2010

    With The Brothers Bloom, writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick) firmly cements his reputation as one of the most original and daring cinematic voices of his generation.

  • Shutter Island

    Movie Review | Chris | 11th March 2010

    Shutter Island, the latest from director Martin Scorsese, is far from perfect, but it is an excellent showcase for a master filmmaker who is still working at the top of his game, despite being in the twilight of his career.

  • Where The Wild Things Are

    Movie Review | Chris | 10th December 2009

    With Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze not only solidifies his reputation as a great director (as if there were any doubt), but he also demonstrates an uncanny understanding of precisely what it's like to be a kid. With this gorgeous and touching adaptation of the beloved children's book by author Maurice Sendak, Jonze and screenwriter David Eggers have managed to capture the essence of childhood; all the confusion, fear, pain, anger, loneliness, and above all the joy of being a kid are evident throughout.

  • The Informant!

    Movie Review | Chris | 20th November 2009

    The Informant! is the best Coen Brothers movie not actually directed by the Coen Brothers. Insanely prolific director Steven Soderbergh has managed to capture the distinct Coen vibe - mainly the sardonic sense of humor and dry wit - while making it completely his own. The final result is an engaging, intricate movie about a whistleblower that manages to double as a send-up of movies about whistleblowers.
