I left the cinema feeling cheated. This was meant to be a James Bond film. They could have replaced the long dialogue scenes with more action, they could have replaced the darkness with more elements of fun, they could have.... they could have....... they could have made it better.

It's a tragedy that Ealing has no cinema of its own, as this is the neighbourhood of London that has created some of the most treasured British films.

Keira Knightley and her portrayal of Anna Karenina have a lot to answer for, when it comes to the passionate affair that the film has stirred with Russia amongst the arts and culture followers.

If there is one film that fills me with more emotions that I can neither understand or bear it is Bill Forsyth's 1983 Scottish comedy Local Hero. It is a film that makes you laugh yet has a melancholic tone that always seems one step away from breaking your heart. It was named #37 on the list of BFI Top 100 British Films by the British Film Institute.

Return to Oz shares a lot in common with the original 1939 Wizard of Oz. Apart from obviously being adaptations from the works of L. Frank Baum, both films are very dark in tone, are terrifying, and both were financial failures upon their release that have become beloved with age.

There are two things that are strange about Judd Apatow's criminally underrated comedy-drama Funny People. One is that it was completely overlooked when it came to awards season in 2009. The second is that Adam Sandler instantly went back to making the kind of films his character George Simmons makes in the film.

Keira Knightley has revealed she intimidated her co-stars with the amount of study she put in to play Anna Karenina. The 27-year-old actress dazzle...

We all grew up watching the latest Hollywood movie's, swooning after the latest actor or actress to hit our screens... and believing all the unbelievably unrealistic plot lines that were thrown at us were realistic too.

The story not just touches on but firmly addresses concepts of journalistic and business ethics, international politics and intervention, racism, education, common human morals, and, as the title suggests fundamentalism.

Pandora's Box is having a good year.Largely panned when it debuted in Berlin in 1929, this German-made movie starring Louise Brooks has made a comeback and is now considered one of great films of the silent era.

I was told (by someone who knew Vas Blackwood well), that he was "a man of few words". They must have been joking! Vas Blackwood is one of the best ac...

9 July marked a special birthday. 30 years since the greatest Disney movie was released. Controversially this is not 'Lion King', 'Toy Story', 'The Jungle Book' or even the classic 'Basil, the Great Mouse Detective'. It is 'Tron'. Yes, 'Tron'.

Spider-Man's costume is indisputably the greatest superhero costume of all time. Steve Ditko's design is flawless in every aspect. This one dispenses with the best thing about Ditko's costume design - the curved webbing. The curved webbing, in this new incarnation... is straight! He looks like he's wearing a trellis!

Anticipation for Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man is tepid, at best. No one's talking about it, it doesn't generate nearly as much hushed excitement as the impending Bat-fest or last month's Promethe-mess (sic).
