Getting the hump A film about two lifelong friends having sex for a porno flick? Hmmm. But don’t rush to judgement – there’s much more here than archetypal crudity. If the thought of two men having sex appeals to you, fair enough, and there are plenty of other sites to cater for your needs. [photopress:Electric_Mist.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Digging in the dirt Tommy Lee Jones would appear to have all the right moves at the moment – his recent performances (In the Valley of Elah (2007), No Country for Old Men (2007) and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)) are absolutely representative of an actor at the peak of his game, a player [...] [photopress:alberto_sciamma.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Darkness visible Picturenose is happy to repeat the news that the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (9-21 April) will soon be back in town – to get the ball rolling, PN’s James Drew had the chance to chat recently with British-Spanish genre director Alberto Sciamma. Sciamma returns to Europe’s capital this week to oversee Workshop Fantastic [...] Car trouble Now, I didn’t rate Eastwood’s last film, Changeling (2008), as highly as the rest of the world seemed to – while obviously very competent, with a good central performance from Angelina Jolie, something didn’t quite ring true.

I mean, talk about a critical sleeper – Danny Boyle’s genuinely harrowing, touching and life-affirming story about rites of passage, undying love and a 20 million rupee jackpot has scooped Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at this year’s Oscars – Slumdog Millionaire (based on the novel Q&A by [...] [photopress:Fight_Club.jpg,thumb,alignleft] I am Jack’s top ten movie I can’t believe we haven’t covered this one yet. Total Film readers voted it number 4 in the top 100 movies of all time in 2005, and Empire readers voted it a respectable number 10 out of 500 greatest movies of all time in 2008. That’s some mighty kudos [...] [photopress:Kelly.jpg,thumb,alignleft] The past is another country… Felix Van Groeningen (Steve+Sky (2004)) brings a determinedly unsentimental perspective to this tale of friends reunited. Arne Sierens’s screenplay portrays the lives of a disparate group of college friends grown older but not necessarily wiser that are disrupted by the reappearance of one of their number, Zwarte Kelly (Wine Dierickx), [...] [photopress:Apple_1.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Saddle up A chance to enjoy an entertaining (if conventional) Western… It has a habit of coming back ’atcha, does the Western – while other genres have a tendency to become moribund over time, such as the traditional musical or the traditional vampire flick, the Old West is a tradition that a variety of directors have [...] |
