Whether you’re a fan of their movies or not, there’s no denying that Marvel rule the cinema-scape at the moment. With that kind of superiority – not to mention their ability to turn practically anybody into a Hollywood hot property – it’s no wonder that everybody wants to be in their movies. Yes, everybody. The only reason that Robert Redford …

Space! The final frontier! Unless you’re director Ridley Scott that is. I’ll be the first person to admit that the end result of his last cosmic flick, Prometheus, was pretty much a cluster-fudge of incredibly stupid moments in sci-fi. That being said however, Scott still directed a film that looked beautifully stupid. Technically, it was a fantastic piece of cinema. …
Up until George Miller’s recent “mad” resurgence, I would have said that Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most visually imaginative director working in the Hollywood studio system.

I don’t believe in ghosts at all. But I also never used to believe that I would see a live-action Hollywood blockbuster where a giant robot uses a freight ship as baseball bat to bliksem a giant sea-monster in the face, and writer-director Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim) sure changed that. Maybe he can do the same for …
The big release of this weekend past was undoubtedly acclaimed director Chris Nolan’s latest offering Interstellar. Despite some third act clumsiness where things almost go full M. Night Shymalan (you never go full Shyamalan!), I really, really enjoyed the film for its unrivalled ambition and mindblowingly big ideas. As a film it has it’s flaws (which we’ll discuss later), but …
I hate movies like Interstellar. No, not bold, aggressively ambitious movies filled with equal parts gargantuan ideas, a childlike sense of unceasing wonder and heartstrings tugging emotional wallops – which is exactly what Christopher Nolan’s latest sci-fi magnum opus offers – but rather movies where their best, most discussion-worthy moments cannot be mentioned without leveraging huge spoilers. And no, I …

A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
