I just guested over at The Film Experience doing a piece on one of my favourite films from 2001, Dancing at the Blue Iguana . Read it by clicking here . It stars one of the most fascinating trios of women - Daryl Hannah, Sandra Oh and Jennifer Tilly as strippers in Michael Radford's improvised ...

Bare in mind that there are some notable films from 2000 that I have not seen - Yi Yi , Wonder Boys , Goddess of 1967 , House if Mirth (I currently have it sitting here on DVD though!) and Beau Travail seem to be the main ones - and some titles I have seen I don't care for (hello Almost Famous ...

Earlier today I briefly spoke about the new Blu Ray edition of Katsuhiro Ôtomo's 1988 anime masterpiece Akira . While I haven't watched it on Blu Ray - obviously since I don't own a player - just looking at some of the screencaps that I've found around the internet (mainly here and here ) has ...

Wake in Fright Dir. Ted Kotcheff Year: 1971 Aus Rating: M (2009 ReRelease) Running Time: 114mins What’s dirty, sweaty, enthralling, dangerous, thrilling and covered in the orange haze of the desert? That would be Ted Kotcheff’s seminal Australian outback thriller Wake in Fright. A film of ...

I will most certainly be doing a "favourite posters of the '00s" countdown soon, but I've been scanning through my image folders for something I'm whipping up and came across this. Definitely one of the best posters of the decade. Gorgeous.

I noticed this previously unseen moment of Nicole Kidman in Nine as I watched the newly released trailer for the film, Rob Marshall's next that is out in January (Australia). It's a beautiful shot as one would expect from cinematographer Dion Beebe of Nicole Kidman, but after getting past that ...

I sincerely apologise for my glaring vanishing act these past few days. The last few days have been a blur of packing, cleaning, moving and hair-pulling. I have moved and that takes time! But even when I wasn't getting all of that out of that way, my ISP was being a bitch and just not working. ...

Sure, some may immediately chide at a suggestion
such as that and throw around stereotypical suggestions such
as Raging Bull , The Wrestler or even Rocky . Maybe Pride of the Yankees or Bull Durham for baseball fans. While those people wouldn't ...

The Friday the 13th franchise is one of
my favourites. Even though it is filled with at
least one terrible movie for every good one, but that doesn't dilute its charms. So with today actually being Friday the 13th (the third one so far in 2009 I should add, that's freaky!) I thought I'd take a ...

I just hope there's more revealing stuff in the movie . The world needs more upskirt shots of Sam Worthington; that we can all agree on! via MNPP .

I've swiped this clip from Low Resolution and it's amazing. James Franco has one of the more fascinating careers at the moment, I must say. Whether it's appearing in queer cinema ( Milk , Howl ), to making bizarre uncredited appearances ( Nights in Rodanthe ) while also appearing in big budget ...

I actually feel a bit bad about this one. Isn't that pathetic? It's like looking at a sad puppy. You can clearly tell that this is not what director Tom Vaughan had in mind. I'm sure he saw this poster and just slumped himself down into his chair and had a cry. "This? This is all they could ...

" Amelia is Mira Nair's nadir!" Try saying that five times fast. I'm not going to review Amelia , because it's just not worth it. I shake my head at Mira Nair and I want to give her a good shake and ask what the hell she's doing lately. I know some were keen on The Nakesake , but I, however, ...

I had never seen Martin Scorsese's After Hours until last night. In fact, the only reason I had added it onto my Quickflix queue was due to the Scorsese factor, and then as I sat down to watch it last night and the opening credits rolled I was struck by some of the names in the cast. It read ...
