FILM ::: Django Unchained v Lincoln

January 15, 2013 / FILM

As it stands there has only been one great American film depicting the savagery of slavery, and that’s Ben-Hur, so it related to Roman deeds. After largely ignoring the subject of slavery in mainstream cinema, 2013 seems to be the year America looks its ugly past square in the face with films on the subject by two of Hollywood’s most thematically and structurally opposed filmmakers. Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained hits cinemas this week (January 18) and has already caused quite [...]

FILM PREVIEW ::: Gangster Squad

January 7, 2013 / FILM

American audiences first glimpsed Gangster Squad in May 2012 but the trailers were pulled from cinemas following the Aurora shooting in July and the release was put back to the beginning of this year (the main problem scene that ended up being cut included moviegoers being shot through the screen at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre). Such sensitivities were not shown by the filmmakers, as one sequence in the opening part of the film shows someone being pulled in half by two cars [...]

FILM ::: The Impossible

January 2, 2013 / FILM

There is no event in human history deemed too traumatic or sensitive to be committed to celluloid, therefore as it has been eight years since the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami we are in fact long overdue a movie on the subject. The first 9/11 movies, Flight 93 and World Trade Center were made in 2006, only five years after the disaster they depict. The Impossible is the first non-documentary film to cover the 2004 disaster that devastated much of [...]

FILM PREVIEW ::: End Of Watch

November 24, 2012 / FILM

The gritty action cop genre has seen something of a reworking of late, with varying degrees of success. End Of Watch is the latest out of the ‘blurring the line between right and wrong’ mould – portraying the brutality of the Los Angeles streets and in particular the camaraderie between two police officers that witness this violence on a day-to-day basis. It also sees an interesting change of direction for Jake Gyllenhaal as Taylor, an officer who attends a night-school film [...]

FILM PREVIEW ::: Life Of Pi

November 8, 2012 / FILM

Ang Lee, famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain and the Hulk film in which he did the Hulk blue screen bits in, returns with Life Of Pi. Originally Yann Martel’s popular book, it follows a young boy’s epic survival at sea as he goes on a journey of spiritual discovery and pragmatism. The book is broken into three sections, beginning with Pi reminiscing as an adult about his childhood. He is raised a Hindu, but is later introduced [...]

FILM PREVIEW ::: Cloud Atlas

November 3, 2012 / FILM

Every now and then a trailer is so original and mind-expanding it immediately sends shivers down the spine and as soon as it’s finished you have to watch it again to take in its beauty and fully comprehend the magnitude of the ideas portrayed. Cloud Atlas one is such trailer. It is basically a series of vignettes, darting through time, depicting different characters in different ages, but played by the same actors, drawn to the same people and places. The [...]

FILM PREVIEW ::: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

October 24, 2012 / FILM

Peter Jackson’s much anticipated follow up to the Lord Of The Rings trilogy is nearing release with almost as much hype about the technology used as the actual story itself. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was previewed earlier in the year to a mixture of acclaim, derision and hysterical protestations. The film has been shot at 48 frames per second, twice the frames of most movies at 24 FPS. This has caused a variety of reactions from fans, critics and [...]

FILM REVIEW ::: Gimme The Loot

October 16, 2012 / FILM

Gimme The Loot is a small independent film done good. You know those small budget efforts that actually are a visionary delight and a facinting hidden gem – so much so that soon everyone googles its cinematic release date a year ahead. This film is exactly that - a tale of two New York graffiti artists, battling rival ‘bombers’ struggling through life, love and everything in between. It is an uplifting, light-hearted tale which makes you fall in love with the characters and has you [...]

FILM ::: Starbuck

October 10, 2012 / FILM

Starbuck is a French-Canadian comedy about a layabout who discovers that the sperm he donated in the ‘80s has produced 533 children. Many are now in their 20s and decide to sue the fertility clinic to reveal the identity of the donor (codenamed Starbuck). So Starbuck (real name David) surreptitiously tracks them down to spy on their lives. Sound familiar? It was a documentary about a guy in America (but it was only about 50 and he wasn’t as hilarious). As [...]

FILM ::: Stoker

October 9, 2012 / FILM

Park Chan-wook directs Stoker, a psychological thriller about sex, loneliness, violence and familial betrayal in his debut English language film. Not to be confused with the savagely violent Russian gangland film, The Stoker (shot entirely on video), Stoker leads the audience down paths few wish to regularly tread. It centres around mother (Nicole Kidman) and daughter, India (Mia Wasikowska) in the aftermath of the death of their husband/father respectively. After the funeral India’s uncle (Matthew Goode), who she never knew existed, [...]

FILM ::: Bullet To The Head

October 3, 2012 / FILM

Sylvester Stallone’s resurgence back into action movie screens continues with Bullet To The Head, based on the French graphic novel of the same title by Alex ‘Matz’ Nolent and Colin Wilson. Looking even more freakishly bulky of late, old Sly moves and talks as if in a constant battle to keep his own muscle-bound homunculus from bursting out of his body. Also starring Sung Kang, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost, Oz), Jason Momoa (Game Of Thrones, Stargate Atlantis), Sarah Shahi and Christian Slater, the story [...]

FILM ::: The Croods

October 3, 2012 / FILM

Twentieth Century Fox have recently agreed a five-year distribution deal with DreamWorks Animation that will see an unprecedented 12 films released over the next four years. The first of these will be The Croods, due out in March next year, followed by a mixture of sequels and original concepts. Following the studio’s break with Paramout Pictures (this year’s Rise Of The Guardians will be the final film on that agreement) it was unsure the direction DreamWorks would take. Now it seems [...]
