The new trailer for Inside Llewyn Davis is moody, bleak, and hints at the dark humour we’ve come to expect from Joel and Ethan Coen’s films. Set in 1961 in Greenwich Village, New York City, Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is not having a good week. He’s a struggling folk singer who’s all about the music […]

By Simon Miraudo June 11, 2013 You can’t go home again, but you can go back to school, and that’s precisely what Pixar have done in Monsters University. They’ve taken characters we’ve long loved and plonked them in the middle of a raucous college comedy. The result is one of the funnier films the studio […]

May 22, 2013 By Simon Miraudo Todd Phillips’ ongoing experiment to populate his comedies with increasingly unlikable lead characters – to see if his fratboy fans will follow him down the rabbit hole and continue to wrong-headedly emulate them while jacking energy drinks, listening to Pitbull, and high-fiving – continues with The Hangover Part III. […]

The mildly anti-climactic first trailer for The Hangover Part III has been released, promising more of the same but now with added John Goodman. Despite offering very little in way of plot, the trailer does point towards a shift in the formula for this third and possibly last Hangover. There is no wedding and no […]

Sullivan (John Goodman) arrive for their freshman year, they discover they’re both majoring in scaring and sharing a dorm room. That’s where the similarities […]

Flight – Starring Denzel Washington, Kelly Reilly, and Don Cheadle. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Denzel Washington and Robert Zemeckis jettison their bad habits like so much frozen human waste from the back of a soaring airliner with their collaboration Flight. As one of Hollywood’s most reliable leading men, Washington had […]

Argo – Starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, and John Goodman. Directed by Ben Affleck. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Here’s a story so strange and unlikely I can scarcely believe it’s true. No, I’m not referring to the tale of Argo, in which the CIA attempted to sneak six American hostages out of Iran by […]

Red State – Starring Michael Parks, John Goodman and Melissa Leo. Directed by Kevin Smith. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. The posters declare Red State an “unlikely film from that Kevin Smith”, although a better tagline is surely “everything you imagined a Kevin Smith horror film would be”.

>Ooh la la, AICN have pointed out a juicy rumour on the loose and even if we can’t be sure it’s true we can be sure it’s French. That’s right the “rumeur” (does it sound more credible in Français?) is that Pixar’s follow-up to Monsters Inc, operating under the working title Monsters Inc 2, will […]

We knew Kevin Smith‘s religious thriller Red State would be a departure from his previous works. But we didn’t know it would be this much of a departure. The trailer for the pic has debuted online, and we can happily confirm that it’s scary, weird and deeply unsettling. Just like Cop Out! To steal from […]
