The Jungle Book Succeeds Where Jurassic World Fails

April 27, 2016 By Patrick Murphy 17 Comments

https://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2016/02/Jungle-book.jpg

Dinosaurs are by far the largest and most spectacular creatures ever to walk this earth. Consider the magnificent Brontosaurus; up to 90 feet and 35 tons worth of saurian majesty. Elongated neck on one side, whip like tail on the other, legs like pillars of an ancient temple in between. As for the color of […]

High-Rise

March 31, 2016 By Jonny Smith 1 Comment

http://diymag.com/media/img/Film/H/High-Rise/_1500x1000_crop_center-center_75/high-rise-large.jpg

In all the mayhem and carnage of High-Rise one scene in particular stands out. As society teeters perilously close to total collapse, we find Dr Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) brawling over a tin of grey paint during the looting of the supermarket. “It’s my paint!” Laing exclaims as he bludgeons a rival to a bloody […]

http://assets2.ignimgs.com/2015/01/08/uksgo1920x1080jpg-c99466_1280w.jpg

The Golden Age of television doesn’t seem to be losing steam. In fact, the era of captivating TV has crossed over to streaming services which stepped up their presence in 2015; many of the year’s best shows were provided by sites like Netflix. These days their appeal doesn’t come solely from our ability to binge watch […]

Movie Review

Spotlight

January 5, 2016 By Søren Hough Leave a Comment

Spotlight might be the ugliest film of 2015. It’s so wrapped up in its own aesthetic of reality—washed out faces that blend in with pale, drab wallpaper, garish orange furniture clashing with a painfully ordinary office—that you might cry foul that it’s meant for the big screen at all. Yet Tom McCarthy, the visionary director behind […]

London Film Festival 2015: Green Room

January 1, 2016 By Jonny Smith 2 Comments

http://cinapse.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/The-Green-Room-Nazis.jpg

Punk Music has always had an uneasy relationship with violence, but for all the bravado, safety pins and rioting it’s never been explicitly tied to outright murder. That was until ultra-violent thriller Green Room hit theaters. Following on from his widely praised debut, Blue Ruin, Jeremy Saulnier cranks the drama up to eleven and produces an exhilarating, albeit […]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2

December 26, 2015 By Nathan Frontiero Leave a Comment

http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/HungerGamesMockingjay2Poster.jpg

I’ve had an interesting relationship with The Hunger Games film series. The first (and titular) entry caught my attention for bringing Suzanne Collins’ dystopian world to such initially vibrant life, but director Gary Ross’ shaky camerawork kept me from lauding the film too heavily. Francis Lawrence took up the directing reigns afterward, and crafted Catching Fire into a […]

London Film Festival 2015: The Lobster

December 23, 2015 By Jonny Smith 1 Comment

http://www.popoptiq.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/the-lobster.jpg

“If you were an animal, what animal would you be?” Whether it’s the whirling infantile mind or the daydreams of a bored office worker, this thought holds a primitive interest. Clearly it’s been on Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’ mind. The Lobster places us in a world where relationships are so important that those who haven’t found […]
