Trailer: RED NOTICE Starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot & Ryan Reynolds Looks Terrible

Red Notice looks terrible. It would seem to be more soulless CGI infused action for Dwayne Johnson and another monumentally annoying turn from Ryan Reynolds. It’s yet another bickering buddy movie for the stars – which they have both [...]

Teaser Trailer: Jane Campion’s THE POWER OF THE DOG Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons & Kodi Smit-McPhee

This teaser trailer for Jane Campion‘s The Power Of The Dog is a well cut mood piece (shame about the film’s terrible title). It doesn’t give much of the plot away, but it does pull you in with intrigue – which is what a [...]

ARMY OF THIEVES Trailer: We Don’t Need A Prequel To Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead

We don’t really need a prequel to Army Of The Dead. Zack Snyder‘s film was a strangely pedestrian affair considering he was given $70 million and carte blanche to make it. It’s ultimately just another zombie movie with little [...]

Review: Zack Snyder’s ARMY OF THE DEAD – A Stupid Movie With Stupid Characters Doing Stupid Things

Zack Snyder is probably the most divisive director of the century. Over the last 20 years, no filmmaker has faced the vitriol which has been targeted at Snyder or been embraced by the fervent adoration of their fanbase. It’s odd – [...]

Behind The Scenes: David Fincher & Gary Oldman On The Set Of MANK

Is David Fincher‘s Mank a bad film? No, far from it, it’s brilliantly made but it doesn’t work as a piece of finely tuned narrative filmmaking. There’s no drive, no momentum. I’m disappointed to say it, but I found Mank middling [...]
