With Jack Reacher hitting cinemas this Winter, it’s only right we honor the crazy stunt-monster himself. Say what you like about his personal life, but Tom Cruise is undeniably a fantastic screen presence. Whether you’re watching him mixing drinks (Cocktail) or drinking drinks (The Last Samurai) or demanding drinks (Tropic Thunder) or getting his eyeballs removed (Minority Report), there’s a jolly good reason for everyone to toast our favourite psychopath!
Whether you call it Desire to Kill or Enemy at the Dead End, this film is still about two nearly-dead men in a hospital ward trying to kill each other without the nurses noticing. You could roll a wheelchair through some of the plot holes, but this absurdist South Korean thriller is a true original.
A Simple Life is an affecting and finely wrought depiction of a very unremarkable sort of love, and we think it’s brilliant. You will too, which is convenient as we have three DVD copies to give away!
Arise, Lord Michael Arndt, and take your place as writer of Star Wars VII!
Finally deciding that he’s finished with the whole ‘integrity’ thing, Mark Wahlberg sells his soul to Michael Bay
NOOOooooOOooOOOOooo! Well we’re actually not that bothered, really…
With superb performances, nail-biting tension and a commitment to recreating the world of 1979 that borders on the obsessive, Argo shows Ben Affleck truly coming into his own as a director. There are a few glaring problems that seem to plague any film attempting to dramatise a true story, but the film builds up such good will that most of the negatives can be forgiven.
