“Step Brothers” is the most deceptively radical film that Will Ferrell has ever been a part of, and…
Is Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens a Mary Sue?
***** SPOILER WARNING: If you have not yet seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens, DO NOT read this article. *****
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened to much fanfare on Friday, December 18, 2015, culminating over a year of hyped expectations and…
Now that the dust has settled and melee is calmer, it’s time someone told the truth. The emperor has no clothes and everyone is okay with it. I am talking about Star Wars The Force Awakens. What a pathetic and disappointing seventh installment.
Have We Reached Peak Superhero?
The year was 1989. Indiana Jones was on his Last Crusade, James Bond was given a Licence to Kill, and James Cameron was wowing audiences with the special effects of The Abyss. That year also saw the release of a little film called Batman, directed by Tim Burton. It was the first successful…
My top 10 most anticipated films of 2016.
One of the recurring jokes during the run up to the premier of The Force Awakens was about how Star Wars told the tale of a young man’s journey to Jihad. Luke has all the hallmarks of the nascent terrorist: no family to speak of, isolated, idealistic. He even grew up in a desert, and is…
Quante volte vi siete fatti questa domanda? Per trovare un film con il quale passare la serata molto spesso siamo costretti a girare le migliaia di pagine sui vari siti, IMDB, MyMovies ecc, ormai di film ce ne sono tantissimi e ritrovare titoli passati non è facilissimo!
There has been a disturbance in the Star Wars discussion, and it all revolves around Rey. She’s the heroine of the latest installment, an untrained powerhouse in the force. But we know nothing about her other than that she was left to…
Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, The Academy Awards, takes place this Sunday night and there will be many Oscar™ parties taking place all over the world. Thanks to the web, you can find some very useful sites…
Local Movies: Underrated or under appreciated?
Jagat, a local Tamil movie, has garnered attention with its promising acclaimed story and production quality. Many have praised on how Jagat stays true to the life of rural Indian society. Although Jagat is a Malaysian Tamil movie, it was said that this movie has deeply…
Với diện tích không rộng, nhưng được bố trí hợp lý, thông minh, không gian phòng ngủ sẽ trở nên thông thoáng hơn với một chút cá tính và nổi loạn cho những người độc thân.
HAS HOLLYWOOD FORGOTTEN HOW TO CREATE?
This question comes around everyone once in a while, especially when you talk with certain independent film makers…
If you’ve ever felt like you spent more time picking out a film to watch online than the time you spent watching the…
As with the previous comentor, I’m in my mod-twenties, however my experience with the franchise seems to be much different than his. When I was little, the original star wars trilogy was rereleased to theaters, and my dad took me to see them. At that age, I didn’t fully understand the story or the character development, but the father-son memory has…
I think this is an interesting take, and it convinces me that there is some connection between piracy and industry-generated scarcity. The movie industry needs to take a hard look at this relationship if anything is to be done to reduce piracy.
However, the nature of film as an art form cannot be removed from the discussion…
The English Patient
It is a love story; a massive love story that transcends the notion of time, loyalty and idea of what it means to love. The genius Anthony Minghella directed Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas and…
We are here on this earth for a finite second. So if you are Irish, love soul music, want to rise about the fray, and not afraid of imparting perspective such as “Pick a nipple brother and try again”, you go and start a band called The Commitments. You go on that journey with friends. You…
I saw The Force Awakens over the weekend. If there is one thing new in Star Wars, it the revival of the spirit of Obi wan, the true zen warrior.
For all the references to the zen warrior in the first three films, there always something…
There is something to be said for a man on a righteous mission, a man who can kick some serious ass while articulating pithy missives that unearth the secret behind the veil. This man who says, “A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not…
I think it will turn out that Finn is a Force sensitive.
(Aren’t you glad he was FN, not from the previous batch, EN, or he’d be called Ian. A good name but not very Star Wars.)
Leia is clearly Force sensitive, even if she’s foregone the Jedi thing — her reaction when Han dies tells us she knows instantly, also proving the Force is faster than light speed!
Brilliant theory… whats your thoughts on Han having to die in order for beastie ,kylo ren to completely move over to the dark side?
At almost the last minute, The Revenant nearly devolves into traditional notions of macho vengeance. The film incorporates the all too familiar concept of eye for an eye “justice” (my favorite example being the beautifully excessive Death Wish 3). Frequently in movies, the…
A reference to the 70 mm Ultra Panavision version of Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight had me heading to wikipedia in an effort to understand how this is significant. The list of movies shot in it included It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, which I distinctly recall seeing at The State cinema in Glasgow…

Of the 512 Best Picture nominees in Oscar history, only eleven were directed or co-directed by women. Only four women have been nominated for Best Director in 86 years. The first was Lina Wertmüller for Seven Beauties (1976); her…
When I heard the news on Sunday evening that Vilmos Zsigmond had passed away I remarked that selecting a favourite piece of his work was an act nigh on impossible.

Although Yoda does not name names, the inference to ‘another’ was always assumed to be Luke’s sister, Leia.
