Behind The Scenes: Woody Allen, Timothée Chalamet & Selena Gomez On The Set Of A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK

Not bad by any stretch of the imagination, 2019’s A Rainy Day In New York is Woody Allen on autopilot. It lacks clarity and focus, but it does give you that New York hit that you would hope to get from an Allen feature. It’s an amiable [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Gavin O’Connor’s JANE GOT A GUN

The popularity for the western ebbs and flows and every time the genre looks ready to be put out to pasture, along comes a film which re-energises it and kicks-off a whole new spate of ‘oaters’. However, for every Dances With Wolves or True Grit [...]

Review: A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK Is Woody Allen On Autopilot

A Rainy Day In New York is Woody Allen’s 48th film as writer-director and while it’s far from his best work, it does have a certain amount of zing to it. Not bad for a director who is now in his 85th year! Rainy Day In New York sees Gatsby [...]

Guy Ritchie’s KING ARTHUR Calamity Flops At The Box Office

Movies In Focus was tough on Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword from the start. Ritchie’s style was never suited to this type of film and star Charlie Hunnam just isn’t leading man material. Ritchie barely managed to make his [...]

Here’s David Beckham In A Clip From KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD

As if you didn’t need another reason to not see King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword – here’s David Beckham making an ‘acting’ appearance. Oh boy, does this look terrible (and very cheap). At least Hunnam didn’t bend [...]

Hey Jude Is Knock Knock Knockin’ At Dumbledore

I have no interest in Jude Law or The Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them franchise (aka Score More Money From Harry Potter), but I’d be remiss for not reporting that Law has signed to play Albus Dumbledore in the next film in the Potter [...]
