By Richard Haridy July 2, 2014 Non-Stop is another entry in Liam Neeson‘s late-career shift towards gruff, sombre action pictures. Teaming up again with Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra, after the surprisingly engaging Unknown, Neeson offers up a compelling turn in a film that is fast-paced and filled with satisfying twists.

By Jess Lomas December 5, 2013 Play It Again is a weekly feature in which our classic-film connoisseurs revisit a revered motion picture from the annals of movie history, to see if it holds up… or if it has aged terribly.

December 4, 2013 0 Comments
By Richard Haridy December 4, 2013 The English Teacher is a bizarrely homogenised film that strangely advocates artistic compromise. In a perfect encapsulation of form and content, Craig Zisk‘s The English Teacher tells a story of an artist who reluctantly adds a happy ending to his play while the movie itself forces a happy ending […]

By Simon Miraudo November 25, 2013 I never thought I’d say this about a high school massacre movie, but Kimberly Peirce‘s remake of Brian De Palma‘s Carrie has way too many survivors. (Warning: Incoming spoilers for arguably the most famous film climax ever; one that’s already been given away by decades of pop cultural spoofery, […]

By Simon Miraudo August 28, 2013 What Maisie Knew runs its titular, newly-orphaned moppet through so many heartbreaking scenarios and encounters, I was stirred to start drawing up the adoption papers myself. A divorce drama seen exclusively through the eyes of its seven-year-old victim, it’s a contemporary retelling of Henry James’ 1897 book of the same […]

The first teaser for Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake offers only a glimpse of the prom night from hell, ending in a blood-soaked Chloe Grace Moretz.

Chloe Moretz’s face is strewn with blood on the international teaser poster for the Carrie remake, which ominously insists “You Will Know Her Name.” Of course, you should already know her name. It’s Carrie. She comes from a pretty-famous Brian De Palma movie. Though we’d traditionally be hesitant to anticipate a remake of a horror classic, this new take is being […]

We’ve got our first images from Kimberly Peirce‘s remake of Carrie, and they’re suitably blood-strewn.

Crazy Stupid Love – Starring Steve Carell, Julianne Moore and Ryan Gosling. Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Rated M. Originally published September 30, 2011. By Simon Miraudo. Crazy Stupid Love (or, in its official and confusingly punctuated form: Crazy, Stupid, Love.) often feels like the American version of Love Actually (or should that be Love, Actually; this is frustrating). That is perhaps an unfair dig at Crazy Stupid Love, and too much […]
