Martha Marcy May Marlene

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

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.

Told you it was awesome. Sucker Punch is out on Friday 1st April. With its potent mix of Shutter Island, breasts, dragons and guns, who knows? It could be April's Season of the Witch.


Head this way to see the two Sucker Punch trailers and have your mind/eyeballs truly blown.

 

 
Director: Zack Snyder
Cast: Jim Sturgess, Hugo Weaving, Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Joel Edgerton, Abbie Cornish
Certificate: PG

After getting a taste of full-on slow-mo Owl action in Watchmen, Zack Snyder is back to bash birds together in 3D. Based on some books that no-one has ever heard of, The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is an epic adventure of fluffy, George Lucas proportions.

Those needing a slow-motion fix will be dying to see the trailer for Zach Snyder's latest. But the trailer for Sucker Punch, which stunned and confused geeks at Comic-Con, offers more than than just the usual dips in speed: it has dragons. Samurai. WWII. And a hefty sprinkling of medieval fighting.


It's clearly fantasy adventure, with all the action seeming to take place in the mind of Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who has been committed for some reason or another. Cue an escape, Pan's Labyrinth-style, to an insane (and sometimes rather pretty) world of CGI craziness. Which also seems to feature Zach Snyder's other pet favourite: women with not many clothes on. Also in slow-mo.


Can this other world help her find freedom in reality? This trippy trailer ain't gonna help you with that. If it helps, think of this as Zach Snyder making Shutter Island. But with more porn.


Sucker Punch arrives next March. Go check out the two minute mind job over at Apple, or read on for the full video.

Zack Snyder's Watchmen, love it or hate it, was a successful movie. It busted those blocks with financial precision. Now, since that caused Alan Moore's graphic novel to rocket to the top of the best-seller list, DC is considering making a sequel. Watchmen 2.


Paul Levitz, head of DC, always stuck by Moore's seminal work, stating that it should be left as is: that, as comic book blog Bleeding Cool puts it, "the comic is the comic is the comic". But they have now reported that, with Levitz having stepped down, DC's Senior Vice President, Dan DiDio, is keen on expanding the Watchmen universe.


Will Dave Gibbons be convinced to step in for more books, artwork and, eventually, movies? Will Alan Moore's vision, now disowned by him since it got the Hollywood treatment, be even further tainted? After all, the reason the graphic novel (and the faithful, if shallow, film) remains so good is that it's been unmolested for 20 years.


All that just might change. For the worse. It's not hard to see why they want to chase the money down the shithole, especially with such fasinating characters as Rorschach. Perhaps a spin-off just for him. In which he dons his mask, picks up a can of deodorant, and torches DC's offices. Something like that.

 

A Nightmare on Elm Street - classic horror, beloved shocker, and most pointless choice for a remake ever. But Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes are still plugging away, and the first trailer for Samuel Bayer's take has turned up on MySpace.


It all looks pretty similar, with girls skipping and knives scraping, and we even get to keep the roof-raising bedroom scene (not to mention that bit in the bath). But there's new stuff too: we see Jackie Earle Haley's Freddy Krueger running from an angry mob of parents, and hiding in the boiler room, before being burnt in his favourite stripey jumper.


Is that addition enough to redeem this remake? Check out the trailer over here, or read on for the video. A Nightmare on Elm Street hits Stateside next April.
