!Really? The movie trailer for the sequel to 2009′s The Hangover buddy flick has been pulled from American theatres as it has been deemed too full on. The Hangover 2, which has received an R rating, again follows a group of lads as they once again pay the price for a night of partying with the original cast of Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper all returning for the sequel. Watch and see what you think? ... read more

Based on the 2005 Booker Prize-nominated novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go is Mark Romanek’s contemplative new film about love, mortality, and what it means to be human. The beautiful imagery and the powerful acting by the film’s young leads ensures that these themes resonate with you long afterwards.

We meet the film’s central trio of Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Ruth (Keira Knightley) and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) as they navigate the trials and tribulations of... read more

‘Brighton Rock’ is a film noir adaptation of Grahame Greene’s novel of the same name, “not the earlier film!” as the promo cries. In this version the story takes place in 1964, and as you may have gleaned from the title, the setting, England’s Brighton, infuses the whole movie.

Staring Sam Riley who brilliantly played the role of Ian Curtis in ‘Control’ – the story of Joy Division and written and directed by Rowan Joffe (The American, 28 Weeks... read more

Darren Aronofsky, of Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream fame, has quite the second Wolverine film to focus on his family life. But fans of the comic-inspired films need not worry.

According to star Hugh Jackman, who was set to reprise his role as Wolverine for the next film, it will still go ahead (though not as planned). The film had already been put on hold following the Japan disaster, as most of it was supposed to be filmed around Tokyo.

Jackman has told press that Fox is still... read more

I have never felt a real connection to Ryan Kwanten. The over confident, Hawaiian t-shirt-wearing occa bloke from Home and Away is what I associate him with and seeing I never invested in the American HBO TV series True Blood, I’ve mostly missed his irresponsible and overtly womanising character from the dirty South. So when I headed to see the Australian film Griff the Invisible, I held low to medium expectations.

However, from the very first scene, Kwanten... read more

With the calibre of Australian film rapidly growing from year to year, the content of this year’s Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards night was more akin to an Academy Awards lineup than to homegrown hopefuls.

As could be expected, Animal Kingdom dominated the night. Jackie Weaver, recently returned from the US after gaining a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards, won the Best Actress Category. Fellow cast members Ben Mendelsohn and Joel Edgerton won... read more

Wasted on the Young is that very rare thing, a film about young people, that actually engages with them. The plot itself deals with important moral issues in a brave and open way,  an ambitious task for first time writer/director Ben C. Lucas.

The world in the film is limited, with Lucas taking a few keys ideas and honing in on them, making for a gripping story and vivid setting. The action mainly takes place in “the most expensive school” in the city, and the futuristic... read more

WASTED ON THE YOUNG is possibly the most highly anticipated Australian film since Animal Kingdom, and seems to run along similar parallels.

Rather than explore the inner workings of Australia’s crime underworld though, WASTED ON THE YOUNG delves into the depths of High School hierarchy post-cyber bullying. The raw fight scenes and harsh depiction of human nature most likely comes from director and writer Ben C. Lucas’ love of Fight Club and his confronting interjection into high school... read more

With a successful history of box office returns and a popular novel as his source material, one could assume that D. J. Caruso’s (Disturbia and Eagle Eye) latest film is destined to be a sure-thing. Then again, as the old adage goes, ‘never assume.’

Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) is one of the remaining nine alien children from the planet Lorian. He is on the run from an evil alien force bent on destruction of both his race and Earth. Changing his name to John Smith, Number Four and... read more
