[FILM: Interview] Swerve

A young man driving down a remote highway happens across a gruesome car wreck; he finds a dead guy, a frightened young woman, and a suitcase full of cash. This is the set-up for Swerve, a tense, noir-ish thriller set in an isolated outback town, and the first feature in close to a decade from Aussie filmmaker Craig Lahiff.

[FILM: Review] Men In Black III

The latest instalment of Barry Sonnenfeld’s MIB franchise (which nobody asked for but which somehow arrived in its full 3D glory in multiplexes anyway) is the first in a coming glut of sequels featuring Will Smith, including follow-ups to Hancock, Bad Boys and even I, Robot.

And so in The Dictator, Baron Cohen and long-time collaborator Larry Charles [...]

[FILM: Review] The Woman In Black

Think twice before you bring a 12-year-old along,” actor Daniel Radcliffe cautions me when we meet in London to talk about his new film – which is rated a rather low 12-years-and-over in the UK. “Although there’s no blood and there’s no gore, there’s certainly that fear of the darkness, and it’s the kind of stuff that will freak them out.”

[FILM: Review] DARK SHADOWS

“We’re all going to get greased up after this,” announces Johnny Depp, a cheeky smirk obscured by his famously disheveled hair. “We’re going to take some psychedelics, grease up and get in the pool. You’re all welcome to come.”
