Actress Penelope Cruz is still trying to come to terms with an irrational fear of flying after her life flashed before her eyes when one plane she was...
Films with black leads and supporting white casts might violate the unconscious expectations of critics. In previous decades the majority of black performers cast in movies were seen in subservient or stereotypical roles. Only in the last 10 years have black artists made progress in the variety of roles available.
I've been watching a lot of TV lately and I've noticed DDB's (a Worldwide advertising agency with offices globally, particularly in London and New Yor...
Ever since Marvel announced plans to finally produce an Iron Man movie, rumours of an Avengers film have been circling the internet.
There's no shortcuts when training for a marathon. It's long, boring, hard work. Like much of life, it would be so much better if it were a movie training montage.
Who could resist a movie based on that popular childhood game of... E11? Miss, T26? Miss. Zz? I mean the dialogue just writes itself. Well, obviously, any right minded film executive would jettison the core of the license and replace it with aliens. Hollywood? Direct hit.
Yes, yes, we know what you're thinking: didn't Sabrina The Teenage Witch already have several movie makeovers in the "made-for-TV" vein?...
Louise Brooks made her first big splash in England in 1924, when she became the first person to dance the Charleston in London.
There's nothing more divisive that a definitive list of anything. Taste is as subjective as politics, only twice as infuriating. If some fool elevates a piece of tat over your own particular hero, they deserve flaming, scorn and possibly even burning at the stake.
The Pirates! Is every pre-adolescent boy's celluloid wet dream: Pirates? Check. Wacky science? Check. No women unless they're wearing a fake beard or fat and funny? Check. It's even got a monkey butler.
A second trailer for the upcoming dark fairytale Snow White And The Huntsman has been released. Featuring Charlize Theron as The Evil Queen, the t...
Appearance is important to us but when we think of beauty - especially our own beauty - it's always focused on physical flaws we're convinced other people can not only see but that they will accept or reject us for. But beauty is not really about teeth or body fat ratio or hair or skin colour, it's about something intangible.
Snow White is coming to the silver screen this year twice - but in very different guises. While K-Stew is off doing battle in full armour, Lily Collin...
"I was convinced that acting was for fools. I was on the stage when I was eight with my father, he was playing one of those Greek blind guys that sees things and warns people, whilst I was in a blue skirt. I think there were 5000 people in the theatre, it was ridiculous."
The problem I'm concerned about is that so many films coming out of America seem to have virtually no ideas at all. It's not just the plots, it's the fact that the plots are recycled with such a paucity of visual and verbal invention.
Strange that in an industry so hungry for stories, it's taken someone of Angelina Jolie's stature to get a film about Bosnia off the ground. It doesn't matter how much real human drama and tragedy stalked its mountains, there's a perception in Hollywood that films about Bosnia don't make money. Too complicated, they say, three sides.
You might never have wondered what it would be like if Clint Eastwood had played Wolverine or Leonard Nimoy got the part of John McClane in Die Hard. I know I haven't. But nevermind, it's already been done for us and the results are intriguingly good.
Yesterday, Wikipedia along with many, many other websites partook in the 'blackout' protests against new internet piracy guidelines and acts being discussed in the American House of Representatives and the Senate.
There is much to like about J. Edgar, but the strong performances, solid script and a genuinely engaging love story are somewhat suffocated but its turgid direction, lethargic pacing and formulaic narrative.
American cinema just can't help glamorising wealth and success, even the kind of wealth and success that bankrupts the entire world.
Kudos to the British Heart Foundation for their Hard and Fast video campaign starring Vinnie Jones.
Imagine you are looking at an eight-storey building, on the first floor somebody is waving at you but on the sixth floor somebody is also waving at you, then suddenly someone pops up on the third floor too and then there is a polar bear on the eighth floor doing the macarena! That's what watching a film on IMAX is like.
When I discuss Tom Cruise films with certain people they immediately announce a disliking for the man and thereby declare no interest in seeing his fi...
New Year has not spawned so much celluloid despite being an event which seems to become more inflated with every passing year... There are, however, a handful of great movies for the New Year which have managed to walk the delicate line between reality and sentiment.
"The following is the recovered footage from 2011..." reads the title card of YouTube user genrocks latest supercut, "Filmography 2011". The follow...
