By Simon Miraudo June 9, 2014 It’s called Begin Again, but why, when once was probably enough? Keira Knightley stars as heartbroken English singer-songwriter Greta, still reeling from a break-up with a newly-minted rock star (Adam Levine) whose increasing douchebaggery can be measured by the growth of his beard and widening of his shirts’ v-necks.

By Jess Lomas August 7, 2013 In Now You See Me, director Louis Leterrier attempts to make magic out of a lacklustre screenplay, but not even a star studded cast can save his feature from imploding as it nears its final trick. FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) […]

Maybe! Though Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has denied any plans for another Hulk feature outside of The Avengers and its inevitable sequel, another high-ranking Marvel employee suggests we could see one as early as 2015.

The Avengers – Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth. Directed by Joss Whedon. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo.

Sympathy for Delicious – Starring Christopher Thornton, Mark Ruffalo and Juliette Lewis. Directed by Mark Ruffalo. Rated MA. By Hilary Simmons. Sympathy For Delicious is Mark Ruffalo‘s directorial debut, and I’m not sure a second foray into film making will follow. Clunky title aside (seems like it’s better suited to the frolicsome adventures of a […]

Edward Norton‘s already bright star was set to shoot into the stratosphere following Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk. Instead, the famously-difficult actor saw the opposite take place: his last three films performed dismally at the U.S. box office (and headed direct-to-DVD here in Australia) and Mark Ruffalo took his place as Hulk in The Avengers.
