Behind the scenes look at Only God Forgives

New stills have appeared of Nicholas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives. After rating Drive as the number one film for 2011 im eagerly awaiting this follow-up from Winding Refn. The story centers around a former boxer who kills a cop 10 years previous from when the film is set and went on the run to Thailand. He now manages a thai-boxing club. After his brother is killed, he goes to avenge his death, and presumably raise hell. There is no release date as of yet, however some have hinted at a possible late 2012 release (hopefully well see it at a festival some time this year, im thinking toronto?)

Anyway Here are some behind the scenes photos:

Moonrise Kingdom Review


Photo from imdb.com


A panning shot, a few jump cuts and a whole lot of tracking, all in the first 5 minutes of the film, nothing seems clustered in this interesting take on young romance from the brilliant Wes Anderson. Moonrise Kingdom is a gem to watch, perhaps his most passionate film yet. After having watched the fantastic the Darjeeling Limited and the Fantastic Mr Fox, i was eager to see what Mr Anderson would do next with his subtle filmmaking style. 

The film itself centers on to young lovers in a more loving setting, 1965 to be precise. Newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward play our protagonists Sam and Suzy. The two are unpopular in their private circles but smart in their own right. After an encounter in a school play that breeds love at first sight, the two run away together far into the woods leaving behind a semi-worried search party. it wont all go wrong though as Sam is a scout learning how to do things that ahem..scouts do. Suzy on the other hand is our princess totally embroiled in her new loves bad boy image.

Michael Haneke wins Palm d'OR

Michael Haneke has won his second Palm D’or for Love.  The narrative focuses on an elderly couple, Anne and Georges, who are retired music teachers with a daughter who lives abroad. One day Anne suffers a stroke which paralyses her on one side of the body. Im anticipating the film like nothing else. His last two films have been in my honest opinion, masterpieces, and this looks like another. Trailer after the jump.

Men In black 3 Review

Photo from imdb.com

The third installment of Men In Black takes place fourteen years after the first, although not really looking forward to a sequel, I must say i had a lot of fun watching this. The third film does justice to the first although the concept is a whole lot different. With a time-traveling plot the story focuses heavily on the wry but sophisticated Agent K (Tommy Lee-Jones and the street-wise Agent J (Will Smith) as they hunt down aliens living on earth (or New York City)

Boris the animal (Jemaine Clement) the stories main villain has just escaped from a maximum security prison in the moon. A one armed ogre looking thing, with a palm that you wouldnt want to be near, it’s soon apparent that he’s looking for Agent K. The man who shot off his arm. Agent J then has to travel back in time to stop this.

Skyfall Trailer

Today Sony Pictures released the teaser trailer of the twenty third Bond outing was released. Daniel Craig as always looks terrific as Bond, but cinematography of Roger Deakings also stands out. Deakings decided to use the Arri Alexa Studio as the main camera for this production and the results are the best i have seen from the camera yet. Don't believe me? have a look for yourself.
