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.

Spidey's Vulture: Malkovich Can Fly? Print E-mail

Malkovich, Malkovich? Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich! That's pretty much what goes through most people's heads at least 20% of the time. No wonder, given that this is the man who is 100% awesome. Especially when he's playing a bad guy. So it's great news to hear that, according to Movieline, The Malkovich has been offered the part of the villain in Sam Raimi's next Spidey flick. The bad news being, of course, that Spider-Man 4 exists in the first place.


Who might Malkovich play? Why, none other than The Vulture - aka Adrian Toomes, a robber who dons a hi-tech harness that allows him to FLY. The Vulture will apparently be joined by none other than Anne Hathway, who will be playing... you guessed it, The Vulturess.


The Vulturess? Who are these people?! Well, while The Vulture is a true old-school villain for Spidey, The Vulturess is a brand new one they've made up (cue obligatory fan outrage). The theories going round at the moment suggest that she'll be a tinkered version of Black Cat, whose alter ego Felicia Hardy is confirmed to appear in Spider-Man 4 (following massive Hollywood-wide auditions from all the hot young beautiful laydees).


Will two villains work properly this time? Will Tobey Maguire sort out his face? And will Hathaway donning black leather really appease the fans? I don't really care. I'm not a Spider-Man fanatic to say the least. But anything that makes John Malkovich fly has certainly piqued my interest. Filming on Spidey starts in March, before it slings into our cinemas in May 2011.
