  Flame and Citron

  • 02 Mar 2009

  Or "Flammen and Citronen", as the Danes would have it. Now, this is a true story, but you would think that the resistance would have more imagination, and indeed more sense, than to give their top assassin the codename "Flame" when his most striking physical feature is his blazing red hair. Despite making it to the top of the Germans' most wanted list, Flame (Thure Lindhardt) doesn't even pull on a beret until halfway through the movie (though this may be because Lindhardt is definitely not a...

  Ryder: 'I wasn't jealous of Jolie's Oscar win'

  • 24 Oct 2009

  Winona Ryder was hurt by reports she was jealous of Angelina Jolie's Girl, Interrupted Oscar win - because she always knew her co-star would win gold at the Academy Awards. The two actresses played mental patients in the 1999 film, and Ryder, who also produced the film, insists there were no hard feelings when Jolie was nominated and then went on to win gold for Best Supporting Actress. She tells Black Book magazine, "I was hurt that people thought that. Everyone assumed I was really jealous... Read more

  

  Valkyrie

  • 22 Jan 2009

  For some reason there seems to have been a lot of bad buzz around Valkyrie, the true story of a plot by a cabal of German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler in the summer of 1944. Maybe it’s the sight of Tom Cruise wearing an eye-patch… apparently the prologue, in which we see how Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was wounded in battle, was a last minute addition to placate American preview audiences unsettled to find Long John Silver at the centre of a war movie. Or maybe it 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...

  Lust, Caution

  • 02 Jan 2008

  Ang Lee's new film - his second filmed in China, after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and his first since the acclaimed Brokeback Mountain - begins with such an intensely observed game of mahjong you half expect the Hulk to appear from underneath the table and scatter these society ladies who have so little to talk about but their husbands, business, and black market goods. We are in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, 1942. The hostess, Mrs Yee (Joan Chen), is sitting pretty. Her husband (Tony Leung) Read more
