In very sad news, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has ended its 5 week run on IMAX, to make way for the highly rated, 12 times Oscar nominated The Revenant. So if you didn’t catch it on IMAX, you’ve now officially missed out. The Revenant Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic …
The announcement of the Academy Awards nominations is never without some surprises. Movies and actors that you thought were shoe-ins might have been snubbed, while other nominations might have come out of left field. This year, I’m kind of surprised that Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for Joy. Yes, I know she got the Golden Globe for it, but Joy hasn’t been …
We’re not even three weeks into the new year and The Revenant has already been installed as the film to beat this year – because it’s good, really good; so good we reviewed it twice. You can catch Alwynne’s and James’ reviews here and here – spoiler alert: they both really liked it. And they’re not the only ones. It’s already …

As in the early hours of this morning (local time), the 87th Annual Academy Awards aka the 2015 Oscars was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, led by host extraordinaire and …
The fact that Leonardo DiCaprio still hasn’t scored an Oscar yet has gone from joke to tragedy and back again. But in 2015, he has some serious help in the form of Alejandro González Iñárritu. The Mexican-born director could very well have led Michael Keaton to his first Oscar with the incredible Birdman, and there’s a chance that he could do the same …
Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) had it all in the 1990s. A career to die for, million dollar movie gigs and an adoring public that couldn’t get enough of his work in Birdman, the seminal superhero action franchise of a pointless decade.
