Lovely, Still

Above is the trailer for Lovely, Still.  It's directed by Nicholas Fackler and unites of two Oscar winning veterans in an enchanting fairy tale of late blossoming love and loss.

Classic Review - Play Time (1967)

Play Time

(U), 120 mins, 1967, France

Dir: Jacques Tati

Scr: Jacques Tati & Jacques Lagrange

Starring: Jacques Tati

Not really a film of plot, more of a series of unfortunate events. Jacques Tati's world-famous creation Mr. Hulot continues his 'whacky' adventures through modern life. Split into set-pieces involving a trade exhibition, an office building, a restaurant and an apartment block the film ultimately seeks to satirize growing trends and behaviour in 1960s France.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Faster

Faster *** When he first made the transition from wrestling to acting with his bit part in The Mummy Returns back in 2001, Dwayne Johnson, then going by his wrestling name The Rock, appeared to have a very promising career as an action star ahead of him. While his first out and out starring role in The Scorpion King resulted in a box office hit, however, it quickly became apparent with subsequent leading roles that he might not be the successor to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action star mantle that many made him out to be, something that even a cameo appearance by Schwarzenegger in Welcome to the Jungle, in a sort of passing of the torch, couldn’t change.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Limitless

Limitless ***½ What would you do if you were to acquire superhuman abilities? Would you use your newfound gifts to fight crime and generally try to protect humanity from all the evil out there or would you rather use your powers for personal gain, turning yourself from a penny-less and aimless loser into a rich and successful winner in just a few days? This is one of the key ideas explored in The Dark Fields, the 2001 techno-thriller novel by Irish writer Alan Glynn that forms the basis for Hollywood movie Limitless (the novel having recently been re-released under the title of the film to coincide with its release), a film about a character who, after taking a top secret drug, develops abilities that could definitely be described as superhuman but who decides to use them for his own selfish ends rather than become a superhero – which is, face it, what most people probably would do if they were to develop such abilities; no one would really go out and fight crime would they?

Film Review with Robert Mann - A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures

A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures 3D **
A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures 2D *½

With the Easter holidays getting closer and closer and the major studios having already lined up a series of family films from some of the big names in animation to keep the kids occupied while they are off from school, A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures arrives in cinemas somewhat before the kids break up for the two week holiday – and wisely so as this film has little chance of competing with the big Easter films Hop, Rio, Mars Needs Moms and even Winnie the Pooh (the latter in traditional 2D animation).

The Man From Nowhere Trailer

Here is a cracking trailer for the dark and wonderful action thriller The Man From Nowhere.

A box office smash in Korea, where it became the highest grossing movie of 2010 and swept the board at the Korea Film Awards taking honours for Best Actor, Best New Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Music, Best Lighting, Best Visual Effects and Best Editing, The Man From Nowhere is, without doubt, the hottest Korean movie to come along in recent years and puts Korean cinema firmly back on the world cinema map.

THE ALIENS ARE COMING?!

With the UK National Archives recently releasing new files on UFO sightings and the release of  Skyline on DVD and Blu-Ray just the other day, we take a look at some of the most recent Hollywood interpretations of our extra-terrestrial friends and the methods used to resist their attacks.

Mark Jeavons Interview

Mark Jeavons is the writer and director of britflick Whatever Happened To Pete Blaggit? (which we really liked by the way).  I managed to spend some time with him.  Below is the result. 

What prompted you to come up with the idea?

I used to work for a video guy who filmed wedding videos back in the late 80’s. He had loads of funny anecdotes about messing up filming various weddings, and I thought that would make a really good comedy film initially, so that’s where it came from.

Classic Trailer - Hanzo The Razor: Sword Of Justice

The 70s - Golden Age of exploitation cinema. The transitional period between old school conservatism and liberal views coming into play more. Back when a film could feature violence, torture, rape and gore but be done with a wink and a nod so that it would be labelled exploitation. Ah fine times.

Starring Shintaro Katsu, of Zatoichi fame, as Hanzo 'The Razor' Itami a police officer in Edo. Hanzo is unlike all the other bureaucratic, time wasters he finds himself on the force with. Hanzo is a man of action. His home is a battle ground of traps and weaponry. He suffers thoigh interrogation procedures just so he knows what the best ones to use on criminals are.

DVD Review: Jack Falls

Jack Falls is the third in a trilogy of films from newcomer Paul Tanter. All three follow undercover cop Jack (Simon Phillips) as he descends into a criminal underworld populated by familiar faces of the British film scene. In this third instalment we see an assassination attempt on Jack go wrong, before he travels home to take revenge on those who conspired to have him killed.

The first major issue I encountered when watching Jack Falls was that I am totally unfamiliar with the previous films, save for grimacing at the DVD cover for Jack Said when I saw it in HMV (it stars Danny Dyer). Consequently, when thrust into an already developed world full of characters, it was a little difficult to understand what was going on, and more importantly, why.

Musicians Go To The Movies - Part 2

A few months back I wrote up a little feature called When Disaster Strikes talking about some “interesting” cases of musicians trying their hands at acting. A couple were good, some were godawful. Today having caught a glimpse of the new Pirates of the Caribbean trailer (which I’ll pop on the end of the feature) and seeing that Keith Richards is once again popping up as Jack Sparrow's pater, it reminded me about doing a follow up. After all there are so many worthy mentions. So here’s five more...

Review: Primevil

Let me just start this off by giving you some background on this "Movie".  In 2009 a film called After Dusk They Come was made and released. This then became The Forgotten Ones, I think these two are the same movie but I can't be sure. Now, the crew on this movie must've thought crikey!  What a bad film we've made, so they went and remade it as The Lost Tribe.  And tonight I've just sat through the film Primevil apparently it's the same as The Lost Tribe but under a different name. Confused?  You bloody well should be, I have no idea what the hell is going on with the story behind this film, IMDB has two very different trailers for these films, and they even have different actors, crew and possibly director.  Christ, in Primevil, Irvin 'I made Empire Strikes Back didn't you know' Kirshner is credited as a producer and has a cameo.  All that aside what's the film like I hear you cry!

Film Review with Robert Mann - Hall Pass

Hall Pass NO STARS

Back in the 1990s Bobby and Peter Farrelly were considered to be two of the hottest things in mainstream movie comedy. Their 1994 film Dumb and Dumber launched their directorial careers with a big commercial success and established their own particular, some might say unique (for the time at least), comedic style but, looking past their 1996 flop Kingpin, it was their 1998 film There’s Something About Mary that really made their names. Starring Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller, that film was a huge box office success, the biggest hit of the Farrelly’s careers in fact, and also (somewhat inexplicably given that I found the film to be abysmally unfunny and outrageously offensive) a big critical hit as well, the film even having since become a benchmark by which some people rate other similarly styled comedies.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Chalet Girl

Chalet Girl *****

The romantic comedy is a genre that has been struggling as of late, largely due to the constant output of mediocre product by the Hollywood filmmaking machine, but where Hollywood has often failed in delivering a truly charming and heart-warming romcom, Britain has quite often succeeded. Last year’s American movie Valentine’s Day didn’t work nearly as well as it should have done yet 2003 British film Love Actually, which followed a similar formula of multiple stories intersecting with one another, proved to be one of the most beloved and charming romantic comedies ever made;

Film Review with Robert Mann - The Lincoln Lawyer

The Lincoln Lawyer ***

Matthew McConaughey is one of those Hollywood actors who seem to have become hopelessly typecast over the years. With films such as The Wedding Planner, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch, Fool’s Gold and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past probably being his most successful releases over the last ten years and, with that, likely showcasing his most prominent leading roles, many could easily come to the impression that all he ever does is romantic comedies.

Film Review with Robert Mann - The Scanner

The Scanner ****½

From Gerard Lough, the director of Deviant, The Stolen Wings and The Boogeyman, comes another superbly made short film, this time a short science fiction piece entitled The Scanner. Made in 2009, after Deviant and before Lough’s other two films, this short has already received an extremely warm reception from audiences at film festivals and will soon be making its debut on the big screen where its dynamic mix of innovative visual effects, stunning photography and synthesizer music can be truly be appreciated in its fully glory. This is a film without much of a plot to speak of – the story being that an alien being in human form (portrayed by Lough’s regular collaborator Michael Parle) constructs an unusual device that allows him to scan for a hidden craft that will take him home (the story inspired by The Tourist, a famous unmade Sci-Fi screenplay by Clair Noto) – but with a running time of just under four minutes and the focus here being on distinctive visuals this does not prove to be a problem. This is a film with a very distinctive and different look.

Blooded

"In October 2005, five young people were kidnapped in the Highlands of Scotland by the militant Real Animal League. Stripped and abandoned in the wilderness, never for one moment did the friends know what was coming to them.  What followed was a harrowing game of cat and mouse as their weekend retreat became a deadly case of live or die.  Combining dramatic reconstruction, real footage from the Real Animal League’s archives and compelling interviews with the survivors of the ordeal, Blooded finally tells the true story behind one of the most extreme internet virals of modern times."

Cold Fish Trailer

The latest feature from cult Japanese writer-director Sion Sono, Cold Fish is “yet another step in Sion Sono's rise as one of Japan's most consistently bold and intriguing film makers… [and] stands as one of the most powerful, punishing works to come out of Japan this year” (Twitch).

Inspired by and loosely based on the real-life exploits of serial killer couple Gen Sekine and his ex-wife Hiroko Kazama (the perpetrators of Tokyo’s notorious 1993 “Saitama serial murders of dog lovers” killings), the film is a psychotic cavalcade of sex, violence and comedy that has been hailed by Variety for its “gleeful humour and dare-you-to-watch aesthetic”.

Jack Falls

Jack Falls is released in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray on March 21st. Shot in a Sin City style with high contrast black and white with splashes of colour, the film goes back to the roots of the original graphic novel in this gripping film noir thriller. 

The film stars an ensemble of Tamer Hassan, Simon Phillips, Olivia Hallinan, Dexter Fletcher, Jason Flemying, Alan Ford, Adam Deacon, Doug Bradley, Neil Maskell, Zach Galligan and Martin Kemp.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Fair Game

Fair Game **

On July 14, 2003, a newspaper column entitled Mission to Niger, written by syndicated columnist, journalist, television personality, author, and conservative political commentator Robert Novak, disclosed the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson as a covert Central Intelligence Agency operative. Mrs. Wilson’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, has stated in various interviews and subsequent writings that it is his opinion that the scandal, which has come to be known as the Plame affair – and that is also known as the CIA leak scandal, the CIA leak case, the CIA leak grand jury investigation, and Plamegate – emerged as retribution for his opinion-editorial entitled What I Didn’t Find in Africa, which was published in the New York Times on July 6, 2003 and argued that, ahead of the invasion of Iraq by US forces, President George W. Bush misrepresented intelligence and misleadingly suggested that the Iraqi regime sought uranium with which to build nuclear weapons. These events, which are resoundingly true and led to Valerie Plame Wilson writing her own memoir entitled Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House (which, coupled with her husband’s 2004 memoir The Politics of Truth, forms the inspiration for this film) – a memoir which obviously encountered resistance from the CIA in the course of her chronicling her work with the organisation – as a means of both telling her own story in her own words and as a means of earning an income to replace her deferred retirement annuity when, after her resignation from the CIA in December 2005 and an attempt to retire early at the age of 42, she was informed that she could not collect her pension till the age of 56, form the basis for Fair Game, a Hollywood film based on the whole affair.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles ***½

If 2011 is the year of the alien invasion movie (and with no less than eleven alien themed movies being released year – including Paul, I Am Number Four, Mars Needs Moms, Apollo 18, Attack The Block, Green Lantern (okay, this one’s a superhero movie but it’s got aliens in it), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (and this one’s about giant robots but they’re from outer space), Cowboys & Aliens, Super 8, The Thing and the currently unscheduled Area 51 not to mention highly anticipated TV series Falling Skies – in addition to Battle: Los Angeles, it most definitely is) then Battle: Los Angeles is probably the centrepiece around which all the year’s other alien themed films revolve, seemingly positioned (after 2009’s District 9 anyway) as the film that perhaps kick started Hollywood’s current obsession with all things extraterrestrial, an obsession that already look set to flow over to 2012 as well.

Ironclad - Review

Release Date (UK) – 4th March 2011
Certificate (UK) – 18
Country – UK
Runtime – 121 mins
Director – Jonathan English
Starring – James Purefoy, Paul Giamatti, Brian Cox, Charles Dance


Considering the effect that the economic climate has had on independent films, it is almost miraculous that this film has come to fruition at all. Initially slated as Mythic International Entertainment’s first production, a myriad of the smaller production companies have come to be credited with the financing of the project (totalling an alleged $25 million). As producer Andrew Curtis related to Variety magazine, the financial structure was ‘more complex than a London Underground map’. Indeed, the development of the film endured several hardships, with Megan Fox backing out in the early stages and at one point the entire supporting cast being replaced (save for Purefoy and Giamatti).

Super 8 Poster

You've seen the trailer right?  Well, here is a poster.  Look at it.

Critical Mass

It's been on my mind the past few days. Is it easier to criticise than it is to create? The quick and easy, and maybe also correct, answer would be yes. Who painted the Sistine Chapel is a general knowledge point on the board but could you off-hand name any critics of this visual delight? Me neither. However even Michelangelo had his detractors.


A few night ago in work, a colleague remarked on what he thought was a cynical attitude I had to a certain celebrity's 'good deed'. What was called into question was the motive for this good deed. Was it simply to make the world a better place or was it to raise the profile of this particular publicity junkie. It is not important that you know the celebrity or the scenario as it can easily be replaced by any do-good deed you can think of perpetrated by your national B-lister.

Film Review with Robert Mann - The King Maker

The King Maker (DVD review) NO STARS

Made back in 2005, released in the states in 2007 and only now receiving its UK (straight to DVD) release, The King Maker is a Thai film that is very hard to recognise as being made in Thailand, despite boasting a cast and crew full of people with the kind of weird sounding and sometimes hard to pronounce names that you might expect people to have in the country – for instance the director is called Lek Kitiparaporn. While this film has been made in Thailand, it is somewhat inexplicably presented entirely in English and, while native roles seemed to have been cast to native actors, the casting of the Portuguese actors leaves a lot to be desired, few (if any) of them actually seeming to be Portuguese and the two leads in fact being British, Gary Stretch and John Rhys-Davies.

DVD Review - And Soon The Darkness

And Soon The Darkness

Dir: Marcus Efron

Wri: Jennifer Dewington & Marcus Efron based on the script of the 1970 film "And Soon The Darkness" by Brian Clemens & Terry Nation

Starring: Amber Heard, Karl Urban, Odette Yustman, Cesar Vianco

Run Time: 87 mins

Distributor: Optimum Home Entertainment

*Be Warned - Contains Spoilers*

Remakes are usually the bane of most film lovers lives. Classic films we hold cherished memories of are given face lifts, but instead of looking newer and sexier they just look cut up and pointless. Made for the pure sake that a well known film title will get bums on seats. So it’s refreshing to see a remake of a film that holds only a mild cult following.

The Union Opens Tribeca

The Tribeca Film Festival have announced that the world premiere of Cameron Crowe’s documentary The Union will be the opener. 

The Union is an unprecedented and personal look at the creative life of Elton John and the remarkable collaborative album with Leon Russell, produced by T-Bone Burnett.  Begun in November 2009, the filming captures the entire writing and recording process of the heralded album John recorded with his early-career idol, Russell.

Beatdown: Review

Ahh... cage-fighting. That glorious dance of masculinity where men pitch their instinctual desire to maim and control against their need to stay out of jail, win a girl's approval and establish themselves as stable family men. 

Film Review with Robert Mann - A Glaring Emission

A Glaring Emission **

Upon hearing the title – or even seeing the DVD cover – for A Glaring Emission it is easy to come to the impression that the film is some sort of satire dealing with issues relating to climate change. After all, the simple changing of one letter has transformed the entire meaning of the title and the cover art definitely creates a certain idea of what to expect from the film. This, however, is all a deception on the part of the filmmakers – or whoever is responsible for marketing the film. In the words of director Aaron Scott Moorhead, “the film is vaguely about global warming, but not really.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Rango

Rango ***½

Rango is not your average run of the mill animated feature. For starters, it is not produced by one of the major animation studios that completely dominate this area of filmmaking (i.e. Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Blue Sky Studios, Sony Pictures Animation, Animal Logic or ImageMovers Digital) or one of the many smaller companies hoping to become the next big animation studio but rather is the first ever animated feature to be produced by visual effects wizards Industrial Light and Magic – which studio Paramount Pictures now expects to keep making animated films for them without any start-up costs and give DreamWorks Animation a run for Paramount’s toon distribution – the famous and highly respected effects studio doing the animation while the film is co-produced by Nickelodeon Movies and director Gore Verbinski’s production company Blind Wink.

DVD Reviews: Circle Of Pain & Stonehenge Apocalypse

You're in luck, dear BRWC readers! Today you get two (yes two) reviews of some straight-to-DVD goodness. Or, more accurately, badness...

First up is the Ultimate Fighting Championship-em' up Circle of Pain, starring Dean Cain (of TV's New Adventures of Superman fame) and Kimbo Slice (of beating the shit out of people in car-parks fame).

I Saw The Devil Trailer

I SAW THE DEVIL is a shockingly violent and stunningly accomplished tale of murder and revenge from Korean genre master KIM Jee-woon (The Good, The Bad, The Weird and A Tale of Two Sisters). Oldboy's CHOI Min-sik plays Kyung-chul, a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. The embodiment of pure evil, he has committed horrifying and senselessly cruel serial murders on defenseless victims, successfully eluding capture by the police.

Film Review with Robert Mann - Unknown

Unknown ***½

The success of Taken back in 2008 (or 2009 for anyone reading in the states) has had a very profound effect on the acting career of star Liam Neeson. Irish actor Neeson was already a recognisable face, due to roles in films like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Batman Begins, and a very well respected actor, having been nominated for both an Oscar and a BAFTA for his performance in Schindler’s List, but Taken showed Hollywood that he was more than simply a very good actor who people might recognise if they were to see him in a film, he was also capable of opening a movie big on his own and had what it takes to make it as a leading man in action thrillers.

Just About Famous Chat With Matt Mamula & Jason Kovacsev

These guys are busy.  They have a few upcoming festivals to promote their fantastic short film Just About Famous, reviewed here.   I managed to pin down the filmmakers, Matt Mamula (MM) and Jason Kovacsev (JK) and talk about the film.

So, tell me about Just About Famous.  What's it all about?

MM: JUST ABOUT FAMOUS is a tongue-in-cheek short documentary about celebrity impersonators and is probably the most important short documentary of our time.  Okay, kidding about the second part.  It's fun, it's light hearted, it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry (from laughing that is, well...hopefully), but really it's a 15 minute window into who celebrity impersonators are.         

JK: You know the world is obsessed with celebrities and our film is quick insight into how our celebrity impersonators fit into that obsession.

Tribeca Film Festival, Some Of Its' Slate

Here is some of the films to be seen at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.

Tribeca Film plans to release the following titles theatrically, on video-on-demand and via other platforms throughout the coming year:

·         Beware the Gonzo. From director and writer Brian Gobuloff (writer of The Basketball Diaries) comes a teen-angst comedy about an underground newspaper aiming to give voice to high school misfits. The film stars Zoe Kravitz, Ezra Miller, Jesse McCartney, Amy Sedaris, Campbell Scott, and James Urbaniak.

Stella Artois - Le Cannes Casting Call

This looks like this could be fun!

"...Last year the world was introduced to Jacques d’Azur – the undisputed King of Cannes. He was the coolest man in the world – a player on and off the court. A boules champion, competitive water-skier, bon viveur and movie producer famous the world over. A man who was so cool that Sinatra uses to call him Sammy Davis Senior.

Film Review with Robert Mann - The Adjustment Bureau

The Adjustment Bureau *****

If we were to make a list of the science fiction authors who have made the biggest contributions to science fiction cinema, American writer Philip K. Dick would have to be pretty high up the list. The writer, whose novels (of which 44 have been published) and short stories (of which he wrote approximately 121, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime) have often drawn from his own life experiences with drug abuse, paranoia and schizophrenia and have frequently dealt with a variety of sociological, political and metaphysical themes, didn’t receive all that much recognition for his literary work during his lifetime but, since his death of a stroke in 1982, interest in his stories has increased exponentially and Hollywood in particular has taken a keen eye to his work, films based on his stories including (in chronological order) Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1990), Screamers (1995), Impostor (2001), Minority Report (2002), Paycheck (2003), A Scanner Darkly (2006) and Next (2007).

Review: Sharktopus

Yes, you heard me, SHARKTOPUS!  Already you have this feeling that this is bad. Like Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus before it, this film has the best of both worlds.  A government program to create the "ultimate" killing machine goes wrong and the American coastline is terrorized by Sharktopus. 50% Shark, 50% Octopus 100% deadly says the tag line, however the 90min (all my films seem to be 90min) of hilarity and shambles is the scary part. 


Having one name actor does not a film make. Eric Roberts deserves better, however he needs to do better too. Going from straight laced to unhinged in 30min is not an Oscar performance. On the other hand having a good script and actors to bounce off would've helped. The story is held together loosely by cut scenes of holiday makers getting mauled by said beast, these scenes are set up like an episode of Casualty.

Madison County Poster & Trailer

Madison County is about a group of college students that travel to a remote, mountain town called Madison County to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of the grisly murders that happened in the town over two decades ago. Upon their arrival, the author is no where to be found and the townspeople state that they’ve “not seen him in years.” They also deny that Damien Ewell, the notorious murderer, ever existed and that the murders never happened. As the kids start to dig around to get their own answers, they come to find that the stories, and Damien, maybe more real than the townspeople are letting on.

51 Trailer

Above you will will find After Dark Originals' latest trailer - 51. 

Directed by Jason Connery (remember him?) and starring Bruce Boxleitner (Tron: Legacy), John Shea and Jason London (Dazed And Confused). it was voted a "Must Watch" in the last issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Enjoy.

Classic Trailer - China 9, Liberty 37

I saw China 9, Liberty 37 years ago. It was one of those mysterious films that pop up in the middle of the night on some God-forsaken Sky movie channel, you know the ones that play old movies that obviously haven't been remastered and you san still see the wear and tear on the original print.

I was initially drawn to it because it had Warren Oates in it. Warren Oates being one of those actors who just commands that you watch him no matter what piece of crap he happens to be appearing in. He truly is a marvel of 60s/70s cinema.
