Young At Heart: Behind The Scenes Of Will Smith’s GEMINI MAN

Movies In Focus has been thrilled at the prospect of Gemini Man since I first heard about the concept around 20 years ago. At that time it was being pitched as a movie for an ageing action icon like Sean Connery or Harrison Ford. Fast-forward two [...]

DUNKIRK Trailer: It Looks Like Christopher Nolan’s Pearl Harbor

I actually really like 2001’s Pearl Harbor. It’s a luscious Jerry Bruckheimer-Michael Bay extravaganza that I can really get behind (despite its flaws) – and I get the same sense of scope from this new trailer for Christopher [...]

Is Will Smith The GEMINI MAN?

Gemini Man is one of the most tantalising film projects never made. It’s about a past his prime hitman on the run from a cloned version of his younger self. The project has been kicking about Hollywood for the last 20 years, but it has now [...]

Bad Boys Ain’t For Life! No More BAD BOYS 3 For Joe Carnahan

Joe Carnahan is a vibrant writer/director with serious cojones. Narc and The Grey are some of the best hombre movies of the last 25 years and if Michael Bay wasn’t making a third film in the Bad Boy franchise then Smokin’ Joe was the [...]

Blu-ray Review: Clive Owen And Morgan Freeman Ask About LAST KNIGHTS

The last time Clive Owen saddled-up for some medieval Knight action was the Antoine Fuqua directed, Jerry Bruckheimer produced King Arthur. The budget may be lower but the results are pretty much the same for Last Knights. This is a stylish but [...]

DVD Review: DELIVER US FROM EVIL Is An Exorcism Movie With A Difference

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer was playing in the Disney sandbox for too long. He got comfortable making family friendly movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lone Ranger which made a lot of money but there was a feeling that Bruckheimer was [...]

DVD Review: NEED FOR SPEED – The Best Jerry Bruckheimer Movie That He Never Made This Decade

Need For Speed is ridiculous, contrived, thinly plotted with poorly constructed characters. It’s a film based on a video game, with a title derived from a line of dialogue in a slick but soulless 1980s action film. It’s also a blast – [...]

Jerry Bruckheimer Back At Paramount For BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 And TOP GUN 2

Jerry Bruckheimer’s movies have banked more than $16 billion globally – the majority of that at Disney (Armageddon, The Rock, Pearl Harbour, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crimson Tide). The financial disappointment of The Lone Ranger was the final [...]

DVD Review: Washington And Wahlberg Are Cocked, Locked And Ready To Rock In 2 GUNS

2 Guns plays like cinematic popcorn – it’s light, enjoyable but it lacks real substance. That’s not a bad thing when you like your action movies slick and stylish. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg share great chemistry in this old-fashioned [...]

King, Bruckheimer, Murray And Coen: Prophecy Or Coincidence?

Maybe it’s prophecy, or just coincidence – but Stephen King (66) Jerry Bruckheimer (70), Bill Murray (63) and Ethan Coen (56) were all born on the same date (21st September). That’s an impressive group of talent to share a birthday. These men [...]

Box Office: From THE LONE RANGER To The Loan Arranger

UPDATED: Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve been dying to make that pun for a long, long time. Disney took a $250 million gamble with The Lone Ranger, an expensive western – it didn’t pay-off. The 21st Century update of the iconic masked [...]

DVD Review: Robert Mitchum Is Phillip Marlowe In FAREWELL, MY LOVELY

Farewell, My Lovely, the 1975 adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s hardboiled novel of the same name is an old-fashioned film noir, mixed with touch of 70s cinematic cool. Robert Mitchum takes the lead as Phillip Marlowe, the iconic (and laconic) [...]

A Glimmer Of Hope For Johnny Depp And THE LONE RANGER

I’ve been harsh on Johnny Depp lately, but it’s only because I hate to see a good artist slide into paycheck induced mediocrity (I’d also like to see producer Jerry Bruckheimer get back on track, but that’s another matter). However, the [...]
