Miss Sloane Review

Miss Sloane is an over-the-top political thriller that Jessica Chastain’s powerhouse performance constantly elevates. Dupont is the typical power broker of a certain age in the beltway. Well, actually only after she literally laughs in their faces. And this is depicted with able dexterity by first-time screenwriter Jonathan Perera. A bird of prey whos balanced right on the jugular of the U.S. Senates Rules and Procedure. So, again, fantasy. They also capture something of the dedication found in real nonprofit crusaders....

Ghost In The Shell: What We’ve Learned About the New Film

The live-action Ghost In The Shell got its unveiling in Tokyo last week. Were not remaking, were reimagining alongside you. The throbbing dance music then gives way to the dramatic crash of drums and Kenji Kawais score. They said I can speak in Japanese. Then I said I cant really read them… I made all these complaints.

20 Great Movie Monsters Who Only Appear in One Scene

At two hours it could have been terrific; at over three its wildly indulgent. Still, Jacksons flair for designing nasty monsters didnt desert him in the Skull Island scenes. These creatures appear in the Spider Pit sequence, where they overwhelm Andy Serkis character. The movie isnt memorable, but he sure is. When Norris is outed as a shapeshifter he reacts badly, forcing Kurt Russells MacReady to torch him. Norris head is having none of that, so it splits off the body and attempts to escape....

A Tribute to Rocket Launchers on TV

To rocket or not to rocket - that is the question. We revisit some memorable appearances of rocket launchers on the small screen… The rocket launcher is perhaps the least subtle of all of the ground-based combat weapons. Like Joss Whedon, Im unapologetically pro-rocket. I guess being raised on the action films of Arnold Schwarzenegger does things to a man. Why rock the Kasbah when you might rocket it instead, am I right?...

David Yates interview: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

How would you characterise that? Youre right though, its a wonderful comparison to make. I think the book was hugely successful for Comic Relief when it came out? It raised lots of galleons and knuts. [Laughs] Yeah, exactly! And I thought, crikey, we must be doing something right? [Laughs] Pre-Potter, you were known for politically themed TV series.
