By Simon Miraudo October 29, 2013 There is the good kind of problem, and the bad kind of problem. A bad kind of problem is having to describe in a concise prologue the vast mythology of a comic-book character who hails from Norse folklore and is armed with weaponry as difficult to pronounce as it […]

October 1, 2013 0 Comments
Daniel Brühl has the difficult task of making notoriously brusque F1 racer Niki Lauda seem sympathetic in Ron Howard’s new movie, Rush. The Austrian Lauda had an incendiary rivalry with the hard-living Brit James Hunt, played by Chris Hemsworth in the picture. We caught up with Brühl ahead of the film’s release to ask how […]

Ron Howard’s real-life racing drama Rush has a brand new trailer, positioning it as a potential Oscar contender and definite pulse-quickener.

April 3, 2013 0 Comments
By Richard Haridy April 2, 2013 John Milius‘ 1984 film Red Dawn was a jingoistic fever-dream straight from the right-wing heartland of the United States. It banked on the Soviet paranoia of the era to show what would happen if America was invaded. This remake (shot in 2009) replaces the Russians with North Koreans, and […]
