Behind The Scenes: Chris Hemsworth & Dakota Johnson On The Set Of BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE

The plot of Drew Goddard’s Bad Times At The El Royale seems complex on the surface, but when you peel back the layers (flashbacks, chapters etc) it’s a pretty basic yarn. However, it is a film where every actor brings their A-game. Jeff [...]

Blu-ray Review: BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE Is An Uneven But Well Made Neo-Noir

You can’t say that Drew Goddard did not put his all his effort into Bad Times At The El Royale. The writer-director has delivered a captivating neo-noir and while it’s a little uneven, it does deliver. This 1960s-set mystery is a good [...]

I Had No Interest In THOR: RAGNAROK…Then The Trailer Hit

As much as I hate to admit it – this is one well cut trailer for Thor: Ragnarok. The music (a bit of led Zeppelin), the pacing, the humour – it all works. I enjoyed the original Thor, but didn’t feel anything for the second [...]

Blu-ray Review: THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Is A Fairy Tale Fantasy Too Far

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is the follow-up to 2012’s surprisingly good Snow White And The Huntsman. However, there’s been a lot of creative shake-ups since that film scored almost $400 globally. Director Rupert Sanders and star [...]

Blu-ray Review: Ed Helms Ain’t No Chevy Chase In VACATION

Vacation isn’t a great movie. It tries but it fails, however the script is about two drafts away from being finished and many of the broad jokes miss the mark. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s film has a few good moments but it [...]

Blu-ray Review: Chris Hemsworth And Michael Mann Tackle Cyber Terrorism With BLACKHAT

If Michael Mann ever made a James Bond film, then there’s a good chance that it would look and feel something like Blackhat. That’s not to say it’s a fun action-adventure – this is a gritty, sombre piece filled with atmosphere. The right [...]

Hit The Holiday Road With The Trailer And Poster For VACATION

Movies In Focus is a huge fan of Chevy Chase and the Vacation movies. It’s a childhood thing for sure, but it means that I have a vested interest in this summer’s Vacation. Ed Helms is no Chevy Chase (but Jason Sudeikis might me), however this [...]

A Terrible Poster For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Avengers: Age Of Ultron will likely make well over $1 billion at the global box office. It’s as if the marketing team got together and decided to kick-back and relax, safe in the knowledge that they didn’t have to do much work to create this [...]

Epic Trailer For Ron Howard’s IN THE HEART OF THE SEA With Chris Hemsworth And Cillian Murphy

Ron Howard’s In The Heart Of The Sea looks like a great, old fashioned movie. The type of adventure film Hollywood made before CGI and superheroes. Admittedly, this does appear to feature quite a lot of CGI, but Howard looks to be putting [...]
