From director Brian J. Terwilliger comes the National Geographic documentary short, Living in the Age of Airplanes. It was an easy sell for me, as I’ve enjoyed numerous aviation and spaceflight documentaries tailored for “edutainment”.
Mindhorn, the debut feature film from theatre director Sean Foley, has one hell of a concept that has been created as a Frankenstein’s monster, taking bits and pieces from other British cult comedies from the last two decades.
Director Sophia Takal is a more consistent actress than she is a director, and it’s this experience that may set Always Shine apart. Too often the stories of women breaking down are helmed by men.
The Handmaiden is director Park Chan-wook’s most explicit film to date, if only in its portrayals of warped male sexuality contrasted with the comparatively emotive sexuality of women.
I Am Not Madame Bovary is a social satire and unusually shot film by Feng Xiaogang starring Fan Bingbing, about a woman who wants to take her ex-husband to court but finds trouble every step of the way in the inefficiency of the Chinese legal system.
Whilst most filmmakers tend to lean on retelling Bram Stoker’s story of Dracula, this is a selection of creative and interesting takes on the popular vampire genre.
Almayer’s Folly is deeply artistic and clearly rooted in Ackerman’s vision, but unfortunately due to a lack of characterization, it’s hard to sympathize with any of the characters.
Little do people know that Ghost in the Shell has already had great influence on Western science fiction over its 25-year existence. Here’s the first trailer.
The brave Rwandan women and the inspiring conclusion of The Uncondemned make it a heartbreaking, human, and empowering watch, and it reveals an important part of forgotten history.
The dark, dangerous world of Live By Night seems to suit Ben Affleck (it’s even set in Boston), and the film should serve as a successful return to the directing chair.
Psychological horror films are designed to be more like vivid nightmares, sending the conscious mind an important message or warning of something that hasn’t been acknowledged.
How can an unconventional documentary lasting 134 minutes and consisting entirely of the juxtaposition of naturalistic scenes be a compelling and rewarding cinematic journey capable of matching the most innovative 3D IMAX movie for sheer scale, awe and engagement?
