Martha Marcy May Marlene

Terrifying and beautiful, this might well be the best film of 2012.

Interview: James Watkins

The director of The Woman in Black and Eden Lake sits down and chats with us about horror, Daniel Radcliffe and 3D.

Review: Acts of Godfrey

84 minutes of rhyming couplets? It sounds well annoying but I actually loved it.

Review: The Descendants

Nice film, shame about the voiceover.

Tinker Tailor Whack-a-Mole

There's a mole at the top of The Circus. Can you bash its face in?

Review: Like Crazy

A superb anti-rom-com that breaks some cliches and obeys others, which only makes it more moving.

Review: Shame

A devastating, magnificent film that trades almost solely in sex – and yet looks right through it.

Review: Coriolanus

Like Olivier and Branagh before him, Fiennes makes Shakespeare as gripping as it ever was. Verily, Voldemort did good.

If Newsreaders Did Shakespeare...

Inspired by Jon Snow's role in Coriolanus, here are some other Shakespeare adaptations starring newsreaders.

Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

After Benjamin Button and The Social Network, this feels like Fincher back in Se7en territory. Grizzled, haunting and beautiful.

Woody at the BFI

As the BFI's season of Woody Allen films continues, we look back at some of the director's best (and worst) films.

The Artist

A feel-good treat, pure and simple. You’ll swoon, you’ll sigh, you’ll want to tap dance.

Geeks have long ruled Hollywood - the geeky fans, that is, who like comic books and video games. But thanks to David Fincher's The Social Network, the other geeks are starting to muscle in on the big screen: the rich successful ones who founded stuff like Facebook. Or Google. And now both of their founders have a movie on the way.


Yes, Larry Page and Sergey Brin will soon be in a multiplex near you, bringing you the harrowing tale of how they invented a website that changed the world. What an original idea. 


Groundswell Productions have bought the rights to the requisite book, Ken Auletta’s cheerfully titled paperback Googled: The End of the World As We Know it. It tells the story of how Sergey and Larry defied their stageshow magician names and, while students at Stanford, tried to invent a way to make money without "doing evil".


"It's about these two young guys who created a company that changed the world, and how the world in turn changed them," producer Michael London explained to Deadline. "The heart of the movie is their wonderful edict: don't be evil."


As the company start to release their own operating system, taking over even more of the computer world, it'll be interesting to see how the movie develops. You never know, it may put Google officially on the map (ahem). Or at least make the way for Bill Gates: A Window Into His Soul, or, even better, Twitter: The Movie. Read on for an awesome trailer for that one.
