Oscar-nominated actor Kenneth Branagh and Little Nicky star Rhys Ifans will team up for a new Richard Curtis-penned comedy about two 1960s pirate radio DJs on the high seas. The Boat That Rocked will also be directed by Curtis, whose previous hits include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Notting Hill - which featured Ifans as Hugh Grant's flatmate Spike. Also confirmed for the cast of the film is January Jones, who worked with Curtis on Love Actually. She has previously appeared... Read more
Tony Blair was still PM. Tom Cruise hadn't flipped out, Martin Scorsese hadn't won the Oscar and Nick Park was working on something called "Wallace & Gromit and the Great Vegetable Plot". It seems like only yesterday, but the very first LOVEFiLM weekly newsletter went out at the beginning of May 2004, and four years later we're celebrating our 200th edition. Who woulda thunk it?

The best action movie in a while, this tight, focused Mark Wahlberg vehicle puts a canny post-9/11 spin on a Rambo type scenario.

The film was directed by brothers Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne, who also won the award in 1999 for their film Rosetta. Million Dollar Baby and Oscar-award winners Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank presented them with their awards. L'Enfant beat off strong competition, including the bookies' favourite, Michael Haneke's Cache, which stars Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil. The Grand... Read more
It's ironic, given that this is a film about the difficulties of making yourself understood and those forces that keep people apart, but over the past couple of months (ever since seeing the film at the Toronto Film Festival in September) I've had more arguments about Babel than anything else. And not just about the correct pronunciation of the title. (I say 'Baybel'; they say 'Babble' or 'Ba-belle'.) In the US, it's probably popped up on more critic's best and worst lists than any other this... Read more
