Reboots – they’re all at it. Following the very successful relaunch of the James Bond franchise with Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008), and some 43 years after Captain James T. Kirk first boarded the USS Enterprise, he’s back!
You’ll probably be relieved to hear that William Shatner has [...]
[photopress:Defiance.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Passion gap
It’s a curious thing – while there’s no doubting the talent of director Edward Zwick, he followed his film The Last Samurai (2003) with Blood Diamond (2006) which seemed largely bereft of passion and the same, unfortunately, must be said of Defiance (2008). Despite its inspiring source material (Nechama Tec’s true-life account [...]

Feeling slightly guilty about tearing into Steven Spielberg’s latest, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (not because I’ve changed my mind but because normally I love Spielberg’s work, it being one of the reasons why it’s great to critique film), it seemed an appropriate time to go back to [...]
Sing-along-a-Bond?
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The bad? OK. Amy (‘Look at me! Look at me!’) Winehouse was reported by the BBC to be involved in the production of the latest Bond outing Quantum of Solace. The good news? A couple of days later, her producer, Mark Ronson, was quoted [...]
