Closed Circuit Review. Could Be One Of The Best Films Of The Year

Closed Circuit Review By: MattInRC The British political thriller Closed Circuit satisfies our need for intelligent Summer fare. Intelligent human dramas are not usually in Hollywood's Summer toolbox. Explosions, gun battles, and sequels usually dominate the menu, with only a few rising to the top ( Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Great Gatsby ). The same goes for suspenseful political thrillers that don't rely on slow-motion gunplay or explosions to sell the sizzle. Closed Circuit not only doesn't need to rely on these devices, it's an intelligent and well-acted film that offers a refreshing alternative and an all too-relevant message about the post-9/11 world we live in. Set in London, the film opens with a terrorist explosion at a crowded marketplace, killing 120 people, all of whom are featured on a menagerie of CCTV cameras. Their murders coincide with an anonymous tip of the mastermind's location, leading to his arrest. As he awaits what will be a

GETAWAY Review. The Film Is Pure Adrenaline Rush

GETAWAY Review By: RAMA We were unable to make our screening for GETAWAY . But RAMA comes through with another great review. Make sure to LIKE his Facebook page and follow him on Twitter . Those who know me well know that I’m a sucker for car chase movies. Not because I’m an expert on cars or driving, but it’s because I’m the complete opposite, and so the fantasy of driving recklessly, getting away clean, high speed in movies is about as addicting and irresistible as it gets and GETAWAY doesn’t disappoint me. If I were to describe this movie, I’d say it’s TAKEN meets PHONE BOOTH , because most of the time, you only hear the voice of the antagonist, giving strict instructions and must-obey commands, until he’s revealed at the end of the movie. GETAWAY’s only low points are the writing and Selena Gomez . “ GETAWAY ” is the gritty, heart-pounding action thriller from Warner Bros. Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment starring Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (“Training D

The Grandmaster Review. Film Doesn't Know What It Wants To Be

The Grandmaster Review By: MattInRC The Grandmaster can't decide what it wants to be. And that makes me want to throw something. Director Kar Wai Wong has had a grand film career, most of which has gone unnoticed by American audiences. There's In the Mood for Love and 2046 - films about unrequited but ultimately doomed love - and the quirky Chungking Express, which featured an expired can of pineapple slices as a major plot point. Highly-stylized and beautifully shot, these and others show a director who's not been afraid to push the boundaries of cinema. Unfortunately, his newest film The Grandmaster can't decide if it's a tender love story, a Kung-Fu epic, or a poignant tale of revenge in post-WWII China. That's too bad, because it looks so damn good trying. As the film opens in 1936 China, Ip Man ( Tony Leung ) does more than merely practice martial arts, but is clearly better than any of the southern brawlers he meets on a rain-soaked

Matt Damon Joins Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar”

The Playlist has learned that Matt Damon has joined Christopher Nolan’s “ Interstellar ” in a small, undisclosed role. The character, like all of the roles in the film, is being kept under wraps, but sources close to the actor tell us he’ll only be shooting on the project for two weeks in Iceland (for comparison sake, the entire shoot is scheduled for four months). It's another quick appearance for Damon in a forthcoming film, as he also has a small cameo in Terry Gilliam’s “The Zero Theorem,” which debuts at the Venice Film Festival very soon (look for our review in the upcoming days). Meanwhile, Damon looks to have found what will be his directorial debut: “A Murder Foretold," penned by Academy Award-winning “Argo” screenwriter Chris Terrio. The film is based off a 2008 New Yorker article by David Grann, that tells the true story of a man who is gunned down in the escalating violence in Guatemala, and leaves behind a videotape after his death implicating the president,

47 Ronin Japanese Trailer & Poster

Bucking the trend that says trailers following one another get longer, the new Japanese promo for 47 Ronin is here. Drawn from a true Japanese story (but with a lot of fantastical elements bolted on and Keanu Reeves chucked into the middle of the tale), 47 Ronin finds a group of warriors in disarray. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honour to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai ( Reeves ), a half-breed they once rejected, as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors. As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires the band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity. Time will tell whether this one will emerge from talk of production problems, budget crunches, re-editing and creat
