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.

After the slight backlash on t'internet about the BAFTA Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award, some wise person on The Twitter suggested they do the opposite. Instead of people who have "captured the imagination of the British public", why not reward the people who have taken the public's imagination and exchanged it for All About Steve?


These are the nominees for the inaugaral i-Flicks Falling Star Award. Their careers are all on a downward trajectory, as demonstrated by a critical/box office flop in the past year.

 

No one will ask him to start a franchise again any time soon. 

 

 

Not cutting the figure she used to at the box office. 

 

 

Even The Hangover 2 was too good for his cameo. 

 

 

In sore need of something without CGI animals.

 

 

Compared to Johnny Depp, Cruise's star power is starting to fade.

Voting for the Falling Star Award closes midnight Saturday 12th February.

 

 

Imagine you're Mel Gibson. You're in a bit of hot water after some questionable outbursts of violent, sexist and/or racist behaviour, and you want to rehabilitate that old twinkly Mel image. Where do you turn to? The Hangover 2, of course.


Yes, Mel Gibson is reported to have a cameo appearance in the sequel to Todd Phillips' comedy hit - an interesting choice of guest roles, given the lack of political correctness from the cast the first time round.


Still, turning up as a tattoo artist in the film will boost the box office takings. And it'll give Gibson a chance to remind people that he has a sense of humour. Just hopefully not the kind of humour that involves beating up women and insulting religious groups.


Mel will film his part in two weeks time. 

 
Director: Martin Campbell
Cast: Mel Gibson, Ray Winstone, Bojana Novakovic

Trailers

Tom Craven (Gibson) is a widowed Boston homicide detective. Having raised his daughter Emma (Novakovic) on his own, he thinks the world of her. When she returns home, everything is hunky dory. Until she gets blown through his front door with a shotgun. Cue gritty revenge thriller.

"I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless that man is... Mel Gibson!" Contrary to what Ricky Gervais says, Mel Gibson likes Vikings more than the next man. Which is why he's been chatting about his Norse project which he started lining up with Leonardo DiCaprio a while back.


At a press conference for Edge of Darkness, Gibson announced: "I think it's going to be in the English that would have been spoken back then, and Old Norse," says Gibson. "Whatever the 9th century had to offer. I'm going to give you real."


But that's not all. The man who brought us Mayans, Scots and people speaking in Aramaic is more ambitious than that: "I want a viking to scare you," he explains. "I want to see somebody who I have never seen before speaking low, guttural German and scaring the living shit out of me."


With The Departed's William Monohan on script duty, it's looking like that could be pretty damn likely. And so it's official: Braveheart's back. And he's barmier than ever.

 

What would you do if you witnessed your own daughter get killed? Well, if you were Liam Neeson, you'd hunt down every European on the planet. But if you're Mel Gibson, well, you go about things a little more thoroughly. First of all, you'd get Martin Campbell in to direct. And then you'd unleash some cracking new artwork to go with the exciting trailer.


Yes, it's only a few weeks until Edge of Darkness is released and we've got our hands on the latest artwork for the thriller. A remake of the classic TV series of the same name, Edge of Darkness sees old Mel back on the big screen, uncovering the conspiracy behind his daughter's death. A landmark show when first broadcast in the UK, this retread is looking pretty promising stuff. Think State of Play. But with more guns.


Read on for the new artwork (Mel looks angry) and head over to our videos section to see the trailer.

Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her murder. His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder -- and to CIA operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone) who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.
