Trailer Talk – The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
As a gamer myself, I have always dreamt of seeing big budget adaptations of my favourite video games. Unfortunately, The Legend of Zelda, Fallout or Shadow of the Colossus haven't made it to the silver screen. Some fans, however, would dread the production of these titles – for good reason too. The general consensus is that film adaptations of video games are poor and unsatisfactory viewing experiences.
Interview with Adam Elliot – Oscar winning Director/ Clay Animator
In 2004, an eccentric Polish/Australian nudist with Tourette’s syndrome went to the Academy Awards – and emerged clutching a golden statuette. I’m talking about Harvie Krumpet of course, the title character of Australian director Adam Elliot’s Oscar-winning clay animated short film.
Five years, 132,480 frames, 212 puppets and 133 sets later, Adam Elliot is back with his first full-length feature film Mary and Max.
Based on a true story, the film tells of the [...]
Inkheart (Review)
“I prefer a story that has the good sense to stay on the page, where it belongs,” Helen Mirren’s character Elinor proclaims in the fantasy film Inkheart, and I couldn’t agree more. Whatever magic that existed on the pages of Cornelia Funke’s novel, from which the film was adapted, has mostly been lost in translation.
The premise is intriguing enough; Mortimer Folchart (Brendan Fraser) has the gift of being able to pull characters out of books and [...]
Summer Hours (Review)
Summer Hours is a gently paced movie that tells the story of three adult siblings, Adrienne, Frédéric and Jérémie who have grown apart. Adrienne has moved to New York to pursue a career as an artist while Jérémie has moved to China to work for Puma while Frédéric remains in France. They reunite occasionally for family gatherings at their mother’s home just outside of Paris and this is where the film opens; with lavish shots of the beautiful [...]
Easy Virtue (Review)
What can I say? I’m a sucker for period drama, especially if it involves Colin Firth, stunning dresses and a grand English mansion. No, really – what could be better than a decadent manor house, gorgeous 20’s fashion and a brooding Colin Firth to top it all off?
Firth as WWI veteran and father of three Jim Whittaker loses none of his Darcy-ish aloofness and mystique, but in this role he also [...]
Knowing (Review)
As its title so bluntly suggests, Knowing likes to think it knows the answers to life’s big questions; is human life the result of random chance, or was it predetermined? Do we control our future, or is it decided for us? Is Nicolas Cage still capable of making a good film, or will The Wicker Man forever be his undoing?
This last question is obviously of the most importance, but before I attempt to answer it, [...]
