Murder, ink – Seven Psychopaths review
November 8, 2012 
0 Comments
Seven Psychopaths – Starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, and Christopher Walken. Directed by Martin McDonagh. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. The funniest joke in Martin McDonagh‘s Seven Psychopaths is how it tricks viewers into thinking it’s a crime caper/gangster comedy, when it is in actuality a satire of the screenwriting process. That’s not to say […]

Total Recall – Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel. Directed by Len Wiseman. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Paul Verhoeven movies don’t get remade. They get reduced. Len Wiseman’s Total Recall – a shiny, shallow take on Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” – is a far cry from […]

Horrible Bosses – Starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis. Directed by Seth Gordon. Rated MA. Originally published August 23, 2011. By Simon Miraudo. Can murder ever be funny? Absolutely. Just ask the Coen brothers, who have spun some of the vilest, most violent attacks in cinema history into comic gold (see: Burn After Reading, Fargo but not The Ladykillers). Of course, the killers in those aforementioned […]

Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) just got Rourke’d! The hilariously candid Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke has abandoned McDonagh’s upcoming black comedy Seven Psychopaths, citing major disagreements with the director. Rourke offered the following truth-bombs to Moviefone: “The director was a jerkoff. He wanted a whole lot for nothing… He can go play with himself.” Seven Psychopaths stars Colin […]

So, not every over-the-hill action star will make an appearance in The Expendables 2. Deadline has revealed Mickey Rourke will not reprise his role from the first Expendables movie, citing a scheduling conflict with his new project (although, they suggest Rourke’s proposed paycheck was not tantalising enough, and the actor is looking for more award-worthy fare). He will […]

Crazy Heart – Starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Colin Farrell. Directed by Scott Cooper. Rated M. Originally published February 18, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. There are few films as modest as Scott Cooper’s Crazy Heart. It’s so afraid of seeming over the top and inauthentic that it completely retreats from anything resembling conflict. Instead […]
