Despite being in production for approximately, oh, seventy years, Mad Max: Fury Road might actually be nearing release. That is, if its newly debuted teaser poster isn’t outright lying to us. Though it boasts 2015 as its release date, I’ll only believe this thing exists when I’m sitting down to watch it. Plagued with delays, […]

By Simon Miraudo June 8, 2014 Steven Knight‘s Locke makes us ride ‘shotgun’ with Tom Hardy for 85 minutes and doesn’t let us out until the final credits roll.

Lawless – Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Guy Pearce. Directed by John Hillcoat. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. John Hillcoat‘s Lawless is so low-key it’s practically infrasonic. Utterly untroubled by any expectation to entertain – or even mildly engage – the audience, Hillcoat and screenwriter Nick Cave take a stroll through 1930s Virginia with […]

Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has arrived in cinemas; the final entry in his Batman series, and a gauntlet thrown in the direction of anyone who dares to reboot the caped crusader in its wake.

The Dark Knight Rises – Starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, and Anne Hathaway. Directed by Christopher Nolan. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo.

The 10 best male performances of 2011. By Simon Miraudo. Acting! It’s perhaps the most subjective craft in the entire moviemaking process.

Aussie Jason Clarke is the first actor cast in Kathryn Bigelow‘s upcoming flick Kill Bin Laden, Deadline reports.

Warrior – Starring Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. Directed by Gavin O’Connor. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Mixed martial arts (MMA to those in the know) is not a sport I’m particularly familiar with, but after witnessing its unrestrained brutality in Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior, I can only assume 50-75% of all competitors die […]
