In March of 2009 American stockbroker Bernard Lawrence Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for defrauding his investors of some $13 billion. Considering the ever-growing global fury at the financial big-wigs, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that such a brazen act of corporate vandalism has made it to the big screen; what might raise a few eyebrows, however, is that its come in the form of a farcical comedy starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

“I’ve got a fever! And the only solution is more Cabin Fever films!” – everyone, apparently.
A lovely lady and her video camera go round the streets of LA and follow the lives of a half dozen homeless across the course of a few years. Hilarity ensues. Wait, it doesn’t? Oh, you mean it’s actually quite depressing? Also a bit uplifting? Well, that sounds worth a watch.
Eight angsty teenagers decide to kill themselves together. Then someone starts murdering them. Then one of them decides to kill the others.

Tabloid is the story of red-top cover-girl Joyce McKinney, star of the infamous ‘Mormon in Manacles’ kidnapping and rape case of the late 70s. The plot jerks from clandestine cults, to kidnaps at gun point, ritual underwear, from prostitution to cloning – and the best part is it’s all true.
This Friday heralds the release of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, Jack Goes Boating. In honour of his achievements in the worlds of film and seeming like a nice man, we have decided to take a look back at his career. From bit parts to lead roles, Hoffman has always stood out as a dignified, intelligent actor. Plus, he was in Triple Bogey on a Par Five Hole, only our favourite movie of all time!
Crime-spree magicians, eh? That sounds like an appropriate project for the golden years of one of our favourite actors in the world ever.
He’s found the Heart of the Ocean, and it’s shaped like a kick in the face.
