FILM REVIEW In Los Angeles, a stuntman/mechanic (Ryan Gosling) has a second job at night as a getaway driver for petty crimes. In the opening moments of the movie we witness just how precisely he operates. His view on this kind of work is simple and by the book. He sets a certain time limit for the robbers, if they go past that time he leaves. Driver is a [read...] 
Serpico, Bad Lieutenant, Copland, Dark Blue, Training Day and NARC. The law breaking policemen in those stories were mere amateurs compared to Woody Harrelson’s Officer Dave Brown in his new film Rampart in which he takes the term “bad cop” to a whole new level. This is a mad as hell looking film that has Woody at his furious best (remember his character Mickey Knox in Natural Born Killers?), taking [read...] 
It’s Mayhem! 20 days after the screening of the very good and shocking The Woman it is time for THE Horror Fest in Nottingham. The late night screening of this first festival day was the latest horror anthology by seven well-known directors. The Theatre Bizarre (imdb) includes seven short segments of approx. 20 minutes length each, and as you will see: it combines several incredible genres and styles to build [read...] 
Tom Cruise returns as super-spy Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the fourth installment in the popular film franchise. While I am a big fan of the first MI which was directed by Brian DePalma, with each subsequent sequel I’ve felt they’ve gotten worse quality wise. Action master John Woo’s MI:2, was based largely on flashy camera tricks and over the top action sequences, but the story and characters [read...] 
The online promotional campaign for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has got film fans even more anxious to see what David Fincher has cooked up with his upcoming remake of The Swedish crime-mystery-thriller starring Rooney Mara (looking especially wild) and Daniel Craig. The latest poster is another visually invigorating modern, avant garde piece with its abstract juxtoposition of the two main characters. Also love the fonts used, it’s just [read...] 
The embattled filmmaker Roman Polanski is someone who has had one stormy life to say the least. He is still a very controversial figure, a cinematic genius to some and a criminal to others. For me, I’ve always just focused on his outstanding work and continue to regard him as one of the best directors in the business. Almost all of his movies I’ve truly enjoyed and have been affected [read...] 
David Cronenberg is one of our favorite directors here at FC and it’s always exciting to hear and see what he’s been working on. Cronenberg actually started his career in low budget exploitation cinema but over the years he has continuously evolved as an auteur, exploring a variety of genres. From his classic sci-fi “body horror” pictures (Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, eXistenZ) to romantic dramas (M. Butterfly) to modern crime [read...] 
“I said this was gonna be a simple in and out, well simple just shit itself” Writer-Director Kevin Smith established his career by making dialogue heavy comedies for comic book and film geeks of my generation. While I’ve never been a particularly big fan (I’m more of a Tarantino geek), I’ve enjoyed a few of his films here and there over the years, my favorites being Clerks and Dogma. For [read...] 
Michael Shannon (The Runaways, Boardwalk Empire) stars as Curtis LaForche a crew chief for a sand mining company who begins having severely disturbing nightmares about an approaching apocalyptic storm. Obsessed by these terrible visions, and convinced they are a real prediction, Curtis decides to build a storm shelter in his backyard. Meanwhile his unpredictable, irrational behavior is starting to cause big problems with his family and friends. This looks like [read...] 
David Fincher returns to his crime-thriller roots with a remake of the popular 2009 Swedish film which was based on the first novel in the best selling trilogy by author Stieg Larsson. This time the main character Lisbeth Salander will be played by Rooney Mara (The Social Network) and she’s got a very cool eyecatching punk look. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Atticus Ross, the Academy Award winning composers [read...] |
