Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson has carved out an impressive resume of films since the mid-’90’s. He brings an artistic sensibility to every movie he creates. From his debut Hard Eight (1997) all the way to his last original work The Master (2012), Anderson has provided unique portraits of people on the verge in society. With his latest film, Inherent Vice, Anderson […]
Devoid of any character development, meaningful plot, or originality, Simon West seeks to prove that Jason Statham is one bad dude. Existing solely as a vehicle for several overblown action scenes, West’s Wild Card seems to bore even itself when Statham is not pitted against a crowd of Mafia goons. Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is […]

David Koepp’s profoundly senseless Mortdecai, has, by now, completely bombed with critics and audiences alike. Mortdecai absolutely refuses to take itself seriously, and in so doing, becomes astonishingly endearing – like a nagging friend ceaselessly making a fool out of themselves until they have produced a smile. Like its bumbling, idiotic namesake, Mortdecai is completely […]
Writer Alex Garland has earned a reputation for making great cult novels and screenings, having The Beach, The Coma, 28 Days Later and Sunshine to his name. He has now moved into the director’s chair, making his debut with the slow burning sci-fi movie Ex Machina. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) is a computer programmer for […]
Stephen Sondheim is one of the world’s most famous composers of Broadway musicals (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) and now one of his most cherished musicals, Into the Woods, has made its way to the big screen by talented Oscar-winning director Rob Marshall (Chicago).
