Blackhat Review

Michael Manns Blackhat pits Chris Hemsworth against cyberterrorists. How doesBlackhatgo so wrong, so fast? But ironically, that initial imagery might be the most exciting thing about the entire picture. Blackhats problems start with its characters. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that Mann has absolutely nothing to say about cyber-terrorism or security. But thatsBlackhatin a nutshell: poorly conceived and executed from start to finish. Even the unveiling of the villain in the end is a major huh?...

Now called Accidental Love, comedy Nailed began as a David O Russell movie more than seven years ago. Here’s a look at its strange story… Until recently, it looked as though the film would never see the light of day at all. Instead, it would soon prove to be a nightmare.

How Different Directors Made Their Mark on Mission: Impossible Movies

But how did their styles vary? TheMission: Impossiblefranchise is an odd beast. Since 1996, there have been four instalments, and all have proved to be commercially successful. A major component of the characters appeal is derived from Cruises willingness to perform his own stunts. Generally speaking, franchises and auteurs do not go hand-in-hand. Occasionally, there will be a exception such as Alfonso Cuaron withHarry Potter, but it is rare. The Bond films are a prime example of this....
