Chicks Love The Car: Matt Reeves Gives First Look At Robert Pattinson’s Batmobile In THE BATMAN

Movies In Focus might not be totally sold on Robert Pattinson’s costume for The Batman (yet), but boy this a rockin’ Batmobile. This muscle car-style roadster has the feel of the Neal Adams 1970s era of Batman and I’m fully onboard [...]

First Look: Matt Reeves Unveils Robert Pattinson As THE BATMAN

Director Matt Reeves has unveiled the first official look at Robert Pattinson as The Batman. It’s a mean and moody ‘camera test’ which shows s stylistic look at Pattison as The Dark Knight. I’m a little torn with this. [...]

THE BATMAN Begins

Movies In Focus doesn’t have the interest or energy to partake in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, I’ll always have time for Batman. I’ve been a fan ever since Tim Burton’s take on the character blew my mind back in [...]

Colin Farrell & Andy Serkis In The Frame For The Penguin & Alfred Pennyworth In THE BATMAN

The great Colin Farrell is one seriously left field choice for Oswald Cobblepot AKA The Penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Farrell has the dark looks, he’s got the acting chops but he doesn’t have the…physique and stature [...]

Blu-ray Review: Martin McDonagh’s IN BRUGES Is A Cracking Cult Hitman Comedy With Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson

Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges is a stone-cold cult classic. A modest hit when it was first released in 2008 ($33 million globally from a $15 budget), the black comedy hits the mark on all levels. The dark humour is funny and the dramatic beats are [...]

Review: Steve McQueen’s WIDOWS Is Well Composed But A Little Lacking

Steve McQueen makes his first foray into thriller territory with Widows, a screen adaptation of Linda LaPlante’s 1980s mini-series. Transplanting the action across the Atlantic to Chicago, McQueen brings his usual well composed direction to [...]

Against All Good Sense…The DUMBO Trailer

I know Dumbo isn’t for me – but against all odds, I know I’ll see this Disney remake. Tim Burton reuniting with Michael Keaton after 27 years. Colin Farrell. Danny Elfman. This shouldn’t be for me, but… Dumbo opens in [...]

Mel Gibson & Colin Farrell Are WAR PIGS

Movies In Focus favourites Mel Gibson and Colin Farrell are teaming for the revenge actioner, War Pigs. I might as well just hand over my money right now – Gibson and Farrell? That’s a scorching combination (but a terrible title). [...]

DVD Review: ROMAN J. ISRAEL ESQ. Has Good Characterisation But Poor Structure

A rare Denzel Washington film that failed to connect with audiences, Roman J. Israel, Esq. is the star’s lowest grossing film since Mississippi Masala back in 1992 (fun fact: both these films have terrible titles). Written and directed by Dan [...]

Umm, Yeah Here’s The Trailer For Tim Burton’s DUMBO

Movies In Focus isn’t the target audience for Disney’s new live action take on Dumbo (i.e. 30+ male). In fact, I shouldn’t even be writing about it. However, it’s directed by Tim Burton and it stars Colin Farrell and Michael [...]

Trailer: Crime Pays For Steve McQueen’s WIDOWS

It’s a change of pace for Steve McQueen with Widows. The crime thriller is certainly something different following the heavy-weight likes of Hunger, Shame and 12 Years A Slave. This one has a top-notch cast Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, [...]
