Words: Saam Das We're knee deep in the BFI London Film Festival (public screenings begin on 10th, with the UK premiere of Tim Burton 's 'Frankenweenie' ) and some of those films will be making a nationwide release later this month. Such as the aforementioned 'Frankenweenie' (17 Oct). The big release, however, is new Bond film 'Skyfall' (26 Oct), featured below with five other recommended releases. [...]
Words: Saam Das Who'd have thought I'd be recommending a Judge Dredd film to see this month? I even surprised myself. Read more about that film, and the likes of LCD Soundsystem documentary 'Shut Up And Play The Hits' and Cannes favourite 'Holy Motors' below. Enjoy your September cinematic experiences. 'Shut Up And Play The Hits' (4 Sept) [...]
Words: Saam Das There are some extremely dubious releases coming out this month from 'Keith Lemon The Film' (24 Aug) to 'Cockneys vs Zombies' (31 Aug), by way of 'The Expendables 2' (16 Aug). But we've already caught some good films, and you have the likes of 'Undefeated' and 'The Imposter' to look forward to. 'Undefeated' (3 August) [...]
Words: Saam Das After so much hype behind June's highest profile release, 'Prometheus' , it would be wise to not get too excited about July's undoubted blockbuster, 'The Dark Knight Rises . Of course, that's wishful thinking. For more on that film and other lesser known July highlights, keep reading. 'The Dark Knight Rises' (20 July) Christopher [...]
Words: Saam Das Hey June, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better etc. June's theatrical releases are dominated by 'Prometheus' , which sees Ridley Scott return to his alien populated cinematic universe. While they jury is still out on that release, 'Top Cat' (released June 1st) seems like an odds-on critical turkey. Which is a shame because he's the "indisputable leader of the gang" . No longer. Keep reading for bits and [...]
Words: Saam Das As ever, there are some dubious movies out this month, with 'Piranha 3DD' (11 May) and 'American Pie: Reunion' (2 May) being the main offenders. Sacha Baron Cohen 's latest effort 'The Dictator' (16 May) may flatter to deceive, despite an effective marketing campaign. Felt / Denim fans may find interest in 'Lawrence Of Belgravia' (2 May), which catches up with frontman Lawrence Hayward . I wasn't so [...]
Words: Saam Das The Easter season seems somewhat bereft of what I'd term as "soppy family entertainment" although a) I may well have overlooked everything and b) this is a good thing. There is 'Titanic 3D' (6 April) and Rihanna 's "star" turn in the explosions frenzy that is 'Battleship' (11 April) but I'm not yet convinced by either. Instead, five films follow that are genuinely worth investigating. Not always for the most positive of reasons. [...]
