Alice in Wonderland

Oddly soulless, Alice in Wonderland is an uneven piece of wacky film-making. It should be up there with Lord of the Rings. Instead it's hanging around with Prince Caspian.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is gripping and unsettling stuff. A cold blast of Scandinavian class.

Shutter Island

With striking shots & reverberating visuals, Shutter Island is a perfectly predictable B-movie. It's just a shame it lasts two and a half hours.

Green Zone

Greengrass is great at asking accurate questions, but Green Zone is better at just blowing stuff up.

From Paris With Love

From Paris with Love is perfect popcorn fodder - dumb, diverting and surprisingly not dreadful.

The Crazies

Nowt special but The Crazies gives you good scares for your money. And a lot of Timothy Olyphant. He's good for your money too

Capitalism: A Love Story

A rousing call to arms, Capitalism: A Love Story shows Moore is still as polemic & provocative as ever

Solomon Kane

Solomon Kane is small in scale but large in ambition; what it lacks in originality it makes up for with bucket-loads of blood.

The Lovely Bones

With its syrupy score and saccharine script, The Lovely Bones is horribly bloated. It's like having a fat kid sit on your face for two and a half hours.

Crazy Heart

With a stellar, sincere starring role, Crazy Heart is a gentle and moving piece. Proof once and for all that Jeff Bridges makes anything brilliant. Even Country and Western music.

A Single Man

A Single Man matches its polished surface with a sorrowful and deep undercurrent. Simply gorgeous cinema.

Were you disappointed by Tim Burton's Alice?

One long and tiring week after my birthday, I have arrived at one major decision: I need more Stevie Wonder on my iPod.
With striking shots & reverberating visuals, Shutter Island is a perfectly predictable B-movie. It just lasts over 2 hours. http://3.ly/bB5r
"It's the 1st dress in Woolwich & New Hampstead with a triple pleated collar". How do they ever cop off with such bad flirting? #BrightStar
You know when you come home & you find a gloriously sticky donut waiting for you? For those don't, I assure you: it's fricking AWESOME.
RT @DCPlod In Alice, they keep calling the monster a Jabberwocky, but it's a Jabberwock. Jabberwocky's the name of the damn poem - seconded!

Thor starts shooting today. Stuart Townsend doesn't. The actor has dropped out of the film due to "creative differences". Townsend, who was set play Fandral, one of the Warriors Three, will be replaced by Joshua Dallas (who appeared in The Descent Part 2).


Kenneth Branagh's epic, which stars Chris Hemsworth, Ray Stevenson and Tadanobu Asano, suffers a similar fate to that of Lord of the Rings - Townsend also departed that production at the last minute, only to be replaced by Viggo Mortensen.


Whether Dalllas will live up to that record is anyone's guess, but it sure is true that every role in the industry could be improved by replacing everyone with Viggo Mortensen. Give it a few weeks and maybe Branagh will agree.

 

 

 

Friday 6th May 2011 meant Spider-Man 4 to many fans and investors. But with production officially delayed, Paramount and Marvel have taken the chance to push their Thor release date forward to then, taking the day once owned by Spidey. Although Sony haven't officially put back the release date, other studios are jumping all over the chance to get ahead in the summer stakes.


With Thor's previous date now empty, Disney have parked Pirates 4 into the gap on Friday 20th May. Summer 2011 then continues with The Hangover 2 (28th May), Green Lantern (17th June) and Transformers, Potter and Captain America all turning up July. So if Spider-Man does continue as planned, it'll be a squeeze for Sony to fit it in. Paramount have said they'll give the date back if it does happen, so one of them will have to find a new spot somewhere.


Amidst all the rescheduling for next year's sequel-fest, it's clear that there's a very important lesson to take away from all this: next time Sam Raimi wants John Malkovich in his film - a flying John Malkovich, nonetheless - don't disagree with him. Just give him the damn money.
