It’s not easy adapting movies from foreign territories into material that will satisfy western audiences. Which is most likely why American films based on British productions fail so damn every single time. But other nations? There’s potential there to take that original movie and rework it into something that can suit the tastes of that audience. Spike Lee has been …

Just yesterday we mentioned how Colin Firth’s portrayal of Mr Darcy in the BBC version of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ has inspired many a lady-boner, and now today we get a trailer for a movie just about that topic (the love of Mr Darcy I mean, not lady-boners), as Keri Russell gets her Jane Austen fangirl on in Austenland. It’s …

Yes, it’s barely been a week since we saw the first trailer for the Amanda Seyfried starring biopic of 70’s porn icon Linda Lovelace, Lovelace, but let’s be honest: for a film that focuses on a woman who became famous for getting freaky deaky in front of the cameras, that first trailer was quite tame. But that was the American …

Like a wise and sleepy man once said: You snooze, you lose. While Natalie Portman’s troubled western, Jane Got a Gun, was stuck busy playing cast and crew musical chairs, it seems that another film about a lady gunslinger has snuck in under the radar. Sweetwater (or as it’s known in some part, Sweet Vengeance) may not have quite the star power that Jane …

Plenty, plenty dangerous it seems, especially when Brad Dourif is inhabiting the plastic shell of it. Last Updated: July 9, 2013

When the first poster for The Lifeguard released last week, showing Kristen Bell looking very fetching in some red swimwear, there was much debate in the comments about whether or not she’s wearing a bikini or a swimsuit. This is an entirely moot point though, as apparently the question we should have been asking is whether she’s grown up enough …

We’ve seen certainly seen our fair share of dystopian futures before, but I think that Snowpiercer – acclaimed Korean director, Bong Joon-Ho’s English language debut – has to be a first: A post-apocalyptic future based on what it’s like to use the Metrorail train services in South Africa. They’ve got cold weather, everybody’s dirty, a lot of shady looking characters and …

If I’ve been beating the Only God Forgives drum a fair bit around here lately, it’s not because a) I want to see Ryan Gosling’s pretty face or b) I’m jealous of Ryan Gosling’s pretty face and want to see it walloped like a red-haired stepchild. The fact is that Drive, Gosling’s previous collaboration with writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn, was just that …
