By Jess Lomas April 16, 2013 Many films prompt you to suspend disbelief, ignore that plot hole, and not think too hard about how A equals B. Robert Redford’s The Company You Keep is such a film, in which Shia LaBeouf solves a 30-year mystery that had alluded the top minds at the FBI. Based […]

The Cabin in the Woods – Starring Kristen Connolly, Fran Kranz, and Chris Hemsworth. Directed by Drew Goddard. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo.

Killing Them Softly is a caustic commentary on America’s chilly economic climate, and writer-director Andrew Dominik is unafraid of underlining that point repeatedly throughout his movie’s taut 97-minute runtime.

For a while there, it seemed like we would never see the Joss Whedon-penned, Drew Goddard-directed horror comedy The Cabin in the Woods. After studio MGM declared bankruptcy, the flick was shelved with no release in sight. That was almost two years ago. Finally, it looks like it is finally heading to cinemas. Bloody Disgusting […]

The Farrelly brothers’ Hall Pass suggests a few things about human nature (specifically of the y-chromosome owners) that are somewhat depressing in their truthfulness.

Let Me In – Starring Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Richard Jenkins. Directed by Matt Reeves. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Ask anyone their thoughts on a particular movie remake, and they’ll likely describe it as either ‘traitorously divergent’ or ‘faithful to a fault’. I can’t say I blame these random, unidentified people for their […]
