  Steven Spielberg's Great Escapes

  • 10 Jan 2012

  "It's all about escapism." Steven Spielberg, discussing his trade, November 2011 In his 1982 documentary Room 666, Wim Wenders set up a camera in a hotel room in Cannes and invited his colleagues to come in, sit down and talk to the (unmanned) camera for five minutes about the future of cinema. There was no interviewer, no other prompt – it was entirely up to the filmmakers to speak their piece. Godard talked (brilliantly) about television and digital. Herzog took off his shoes and...

  Overlooked by Oscar

  • 09 Feb 2011

  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is not infallible. Sometimes the wrong films win: Citizen Kane lost to How Green Was My Valley. Apocalypse Now lost to Kramer vs Kramer. Raging Bull lost to Ordinary People. Goodfellas lost to Dances with Wolves. Pulp Fiction lost to Forrest Gump. And Brokeback Mountain lost to Crash. But at least all those losers were nominated. How much worse to be overlooked entirely! I’ll give you an example: in 1958, the Academy ignored Alfred Hitchcock&# Read more

  War Movies

  • 18 Aug 2009

  In Inglourious Basterds Quentin Tarantino has declared war, and you can be sure that he means it. Now, we like a good anti-war film as well as the next guy: Schindler’s List, The Thin Red Line, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Deer Hunter… These are classics for a reason. But let’s be honest, sometimes it’s more fun to curl up with a real war movie: a gung-ho, lock-and-load, no-holds-barred action film. It’s this kind of movie that Tarantino has made, squarely...

  Mass Effect 2

  • 21 Jan 2010

  Game: Mass Effect 2 Formats: PC, 360 Publisher: EA Despite the number of games bestowed with a sci-fi theme, rarely do they manage to capture the majesty and bewildering size of space. Stare into the star-sprinkled oblivion that is the sky at night, and you’ll know why. How could you possibly encapsulate that sensation? The answer to that question comes in the form of films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moon, Silent Running and Alien. There is, however, one game that ranks alongside those... Read more
