By Simon Miraudo July 26, 2013 In the notorious ‘How Not To’ book The Devil’s Candy, journalist Julie Salamon documents Brian de Palma‘s efforts to bring author Tom Wolfe’s acclaimed anti-80s satire The Bonfire of the Vanities to cinemas.

The first trailer for About Time asks the question: if you had the ability to relive any moment in your life, would you do it? Perhaps you’d answer ‘yes’ if you knew that writer director Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Notting Hill) was in control. Of course, you’d need to be like Tim […]

Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams are caught up in all kinds of kinky-goings-on in Brian De Palma‘s Passion. McAdams plays a high-powered executive who toys with her shy assistant (Rapace), unwittingly inspiring some devious revenge.

November 2, 2011 0 Comments
Though considered one of the all-time great filmmakers, Terrence Malick has long been joked about for the glacial speed with which he produces movies. As of the release of The Tree of Life back in June, he had directed only five films over the course of 38 years. Well, it looks as if Malick is about […]

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 […]

Sherlock Holmes – Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams. Directed by Guy Ritchie. Rated M. Originally published December 27, 2009. By Simon Miraudo. Well, well, well, what’s all this then? A smart action movie? I’m already suspicious. Just what are you hiding Holmes? Padding in the second act? A lazy dénouement? Come […]
