In December 2004, close-knit family Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path. Though Maria and her family face their darkest hour, unexpected display...
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimi...

The idea of translating the comic series ‘Y: The Last Man’ to either a feature film or TV series has come up periodically over the last few years and while it’s been dormant for long stretches of time it’s never completely disappeared. ‘Y: The Last Man’ of course refers to the series written by Brian K Vaughn (Ex Machina, Saga) and Pia Guerra published by Vertig...

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominees have been announced and Spielberg’s LINCOLN leads the pack with ten nominations. No real surprises with the nominations everyone who I expected to be nominated has, eventhough a couple of the films I am yet to see including LINCOLN, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and ANNA KARENINA which are all due for aussie release over the next month. Take...

Michael Bay sure knows how to make a kid sound cool with his recent ‘reveal’ of the co-star for Transformers 4. “I just hired a great new actor for Transformers 4 to star against Mark Wahlberg,” Bay tantalizes. So who’s the lucky winner? Drumroll please! It’s relative newcomer Jack Reynor. “He is an Irish kid that came to America with ...

2012 was a great year of movies and as we move into 2013 I though we would take a short look the best of whats to come.

They are ranked by release and as we don’t have trailers for the entire year yet, this is mainly for the first half of the year. January 24th – DJANGO...
Derek Cianfrance, director of Blue Valentine is different to a lot of Hollywood directors. He is very character based instead of focusing on the plot. His newest film for 2013, The Place Beyond The Pines, stars Ryan Gosling as a motorcycle stunt rider and Bradley Cooper as the cop-turned-politician. The title of the film is somewhat related to the place in which it is filmed and set. A lot o...
2012 has come and gone. So it’s time to put a top ten together. I judge a film on how it touches me emotionally and the thought that goes into the plot. I don’t care about whether or not a film has big explosions or a fabulously large budget. The actors have to act, the director needs to have vision and the editing and effects largely make up for the reasons why audiences ...
