Behind The Scenes: Michael Fassbender & Director Neil Marshall On The Set Of CENTURION

Neil Marshall’s Centurion is not for the faint-hearted. It’s an extremely violent and gory action film in which heads and limbs are removed by slashing swords and every body part that can be skewered, is. In fact, it’s almost too violent: [...]

Behind The Scenes: Daniel Craig & Olga Kurylenko On The Set Of QUANTUM OF SOLACE

It feels like Marc Forster went into directing Quantum of Solace with a checklist of greatest hits from other Bond movies: car chase – check; boat chase – check; roof top chase – check. There are a couple more I could add but I don’t want to [...]

UK Trailer For Terry Gilliam’s THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE

Like many, Movies In Focus has been reading about director Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote for the last 20 years. In many ways, I still can’t believe that it exists considering the many disasters which have befallen the [...]

Blu-ray Review: It’s Cat And Mouse Time For Olga Kurylenko And James Purefoy In MOMENTUM

Momentum is a slick and fast B-movie actioner that does exactly what it sets out to do. Stephen Campenelli’s thriller might not be original or even very good – but it makes for a solid piece of straight-to-DVD fluff. The film is a cat and [...]

Blu-ray Review: Aaron Eckhart And Olga Kurylenko Get Erased In THE EXPATRIATE

The Expatriate is an odd amalgamation of 90s thriller and 00s Bourne-style actioner. Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko star in this entertaining thriller and it’s something of a shame that this will bypass the wider audience and go straight to [...]

New Image From Malick’s TO THE WONDER

Terrence Malick films are something special. They’re often divisive, but Malick directs like no one else working today. Tree of Life is a perfect example of Malick’s work, a visual poem, or a narrative image that is far from conventional. I saw [...]
