April 16, 2013

By Richard Haridy April 16, 2013 Butter is a dark satirical comedy set in the highly relatable world of competitive butter carving. When Hugh Jackman appeared as an all-American used car salesman, I realised I was watching something special. Not special in a good way, mind you, but special in a ‘why the hell does […]

By Simon Miraudo March 13, 2013 The Incredible Burt Wonderstone gets a lot of mileage out of its stars’ increasingly ridiculous hairdos. I’m not proud to say that they kept me giggling throughout, but they did, and I have to live with that. If a lot of effort was put into hair and makeup, not […]

The Words – Starring Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, and Jeremy Irons. Directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Literary soapie The Words is mutton dressed as bespectacled lamb. Just because it looks like smarthouse fare doesn’t mean it is, and the proof is entirely in the plodding pudding. It’s the […]

Bradley Cooper rips off Jeremy Irons in the new trailer for The Words. Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal’s new film stars Cooper as a struggling author (again!), who steals a story from a mysterious older gentleman (Irons), and pays a great price for his unearned success. The trailer is fairly compelling, until the thrilling elements disappear and make […]

The Change-Up – Starring Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Mann. Directed by David Dobkin. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. For a film called The Change-Up, this thing is pretty damn stale.

Cowboys and Aliens – Starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. Directed by Jon Favreau. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. There’s not all that much going on beneath the surface of Jon Favreau’s Cowboys and Aliens, which is probably too much to ask of any movie actually called Cowboys and Aliens anyway. Still, it […]

Bradley Cooper is used to playing the sporty spunk in films like The Hangover. He’s also rather efficient at being a spunk in real life (he often makes ‘sexiest men alive’ lists, always has a slew of impressive girls at his side, and can apparently speak fluent French!). What Cooper’s probably not so used to […]

The high-concept body-swap comedy is as old as time itself. The latest stars to undergo the cosmic transformation are Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds in the bawdy new comedy The Change-Up. You can probably guess the plot, but for tradition’s sake: Reynolds stars as single lady-killer Mitch and Bateman as exhausted family man Dave. After […]
