Compassion play – Two Days, One Night review (Sydney Film Festival)
June 10, 2014 
0 Comments
By Simon Miraudo June 10, 2014 Two Days, One Night is paced like a joke, but it plays like a prayer. Writer-directors the Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, spend the movie repeating the setup over and over again. Marion Cotillard‘s Sandra, recovering from a nervous breakdown, has a single weekend to convince each of her […]

The Dark Knight Rises – Starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, and Anne Hathaway. Directed by Christopher Nolan. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. It’s probably redundant to mention that the final instalment of Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy is epic in scope and ambition, considering a Christ allegory is right there in the title. But The Dark […]

Warner Bros recently revealed six new character posters for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises as the long promotional road to the July release date rolls on.

And if you thought the dissolving football field from the previous teaser would be the film’s biggest money shot, this clip offers up a few more contenders… Surely you don’t need any more information?

A brand new teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises has debuted online, giving us a proper glimpse of Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and what looks to be a football match set to rival any in film’s history. Look out behind you! A crying Alfred! A soon-to-be-deposed Commissioner Gordon! A super-sad (even more […]

We’re beginning to think The Dark Knight Rises won’t have the happiest of endings. A new poster has debuted online for Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated series closer, and it shows the villainous Bane (Tom Hardy) walking away from a smashed Bat mask. Bane is famously known amongst comic fans as ‘The Man Who Broke The […]

Contagion – Starring Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne and Jennifer Ehle. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Contagion is the last movie you want to see with a sore throat. Or maybe it’s the first movie you want to see with a sore throat. What could possibly top the sensory, 4-D, cinema-going experience […]

Midnight in Paris – Starring Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams. Directed by Woody Allen. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Cynical world that this is, we often think an artist’s best work is behind them. Woody Allen is not exempt; his golden age is almost universally agreed to be the 1970s, when he balanced riotous […]

So, ahem, PANIC! The posters for Steven Soderbergh‘s viral outbreak thriller Contagion have debuted online, and they certainly don’t instil calm. The six major character posters capitalise on the all-star cast, specifically Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet (we’ll just have to hope co-stars John Hawkes and Bryan Cranston will get their own in the near future). To see […]

The sky is falling! Well, at least the top of Gotham’s buildings are, in the newly released teaser poster for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises. It’s an understated, yet still suitably epic poster for what will surely be the biggest event release of 2012. Christian Bale returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and will star opposite Tom […]

Hold onto your underwear ladies! Deadline has confirmed Robert Pattinson will replace Colin Farrell in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis.

Nine – Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard and Penelope Cruz. Directed by Rob Marshall. Rated M. Originally published January 20, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. Remaking Federico Fellini’s 8 ½ is about as necessary as fashioning an umbrella out of rainwater. Director Rob Marshall (I can only assume a glutton for punishment) takes on this very […]

As the release of Christopher Nolan‘s Inception looms ever closer, Warner Bros have treated us with a new batch of character posters. And yes, now we’re even more tingly with excitement. Thanks to Slashfilm for collecting the images from Moviefone, Omelete and Empire (in fact, follow the links to see even more of these great […]

You would think that the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s Inception featured the greatest two-and-a-half minutes of footage ever compiled, based on the rapturous online reaction. Frankly, it’s hard to disagree. Is it unfair to heap such hyperbolic praise solely on a film’s trailer? Does it raise expectations to an almost impossible to reach height? […]

There’s nothing really left to say about Christopher Nolan’s Inception, the director’s follow up to The Dark Knight that will apparently melt all our brains. However, its new IMAX poster is far too delicious not to share. Head on over to Yahoo to see the image in hi-res. Inception stars (deep breath) Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen […]

Public Enemies – Starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard. Directed by Michael Mann. Rated MA. Originally published July 28 2009. By Simon Miraudo. Michael Mann’s latest film Public Enemies suffers from the biggest movie spoiler of all – history. Even a cursory glimpse into the life of legendary bank robber John Dillinger will […]
