The first image we see in Knight and Day is an over the shoulder shot as a man walks through an airport lounge. Even though he’s heading in the opposite direction, and so close to the camera we can barely see him, the audience immediately recognizes that this is Tom Cruise. To put it another way: Cruise’s back. Yes, Cruise is back. Eighteen months after Valkyrie, and four years since his last big hit, Mission Impossible III. The question is, does anyone care? In North America, the... Read more
Scarlett Johansson does it. Kate Winslet does it. Gwyneth Paltrow can’t stop herself. Even Julia Roberts has done it once or twice. I’m talking about singing, and I don’t mean in the shower. In the studio system, actresses were expected to carry a tune and received singing lessons as part of their contract. We’ve all watched black and white movies of the 30s and 40s and seen them stop in their tracks at least once for a nightclub scene and the chance to hear the leading Read more

He grunts from such heavy labour but he keeps right on digging. Paul Thomas Anderson's fifth film - his first unalloyed masterpiece, and nothing less than a twentieth century foundation myth - shapes up like this, in stark, primitive strokes and sounds. It will be 15 minutes or more before we hear a line of dialogue. Jonny Greenwood's orchestral score cuts in Read more
Have you voted yet? Last time I looked, our Defining Films of the Decade poll had amassed over 100, 000 votes, and though there was a clear front-runner there was surprisingly little to separate the top titles in the race from the pack. In other words, there’s still time if you want to stop Moulin Rouge from running away with it! The poll ‘only’ stretches to one hundred titles, for which we should probably be grateful – a certain film magazine recently sent me a far... Read more
