Oscars Wrapup

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So the Oscars have come and gone very quickly and we’re relieved that ‘The Hurt Locker’ was shown a lot of love, deservedly picking up awards for Best Original Screenplay for journalist Mark Boal’s insightful reporting of the Iraqi conflict when he accompanied an Explosive Ordinance Disposal team into combat in 2004, as well as [...]

Film Giveaway: Micmacs

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Jean-Pierre Jeunet has certainly become one of the world’s favourite directors thanks to his cooky and cute style made famous with the incredible ‘Amelie’. Somehow he blends that more than real feel of his films and almost slapstick style humour with a really personable touch which makes for such entertaining cinema.

Check out the trailer above [...]

Film To Watch: Animal Kingdom

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Just because Melbourne’s seedy, crime-riddled ‘Underbelly’ has been successfully explored in recent times doesn’t mean that there isn’t more captivating seediness and crime to be mined by our film industry. Case-in-point is ‘Animal Kingdom’, a new film that transfers mid-80s Melbourne in all of its gritty and corrupt glory from the small to the silver [...]

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

It’s that time again. Time to go stationery shopping, time to brace yourself for returning to school/uni/work. Time to re-establish that long-forgotten daily routine. Yes, it may be blisteringly hot outside but summer is drawing to a close… And that means that now is the time to cram in all the summery activities you haven’t [...]

Film review: The Story Of ‘Creation’ Hits Cinemas

Monday, February 15th, 2010

The rather sensationally titled ‘Creation’ is a curious specimen of a film, which refuses to be pinned down as either a biopic or a family drama. Whilst the two genres are by no means mutually exclusive – indeed, they are often intertwined – it seems jarring when the central character is the one and only [...]

Review – The Hurt Locker

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Set in Iraq in 2004, ‘The Hurt Locker‘ follows the members of a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team as they attempt to cope with the fundamentally opposed goals of disarming bombs and staying alive. It’s a war film in the grand tradition of modern war films: Extensive use of handheld camera, tick. Lots [...]
