There’s a few reasons I’ve got true crime on the brain at the moment.
The politically charged hostage drama Entebbe stars Daniel Brühl and Rosamund Pike, and comes from Elite Squad (2007) director José Padilha.
Black comedies are a rare and successful beast when it comes to that particular sub-genre; they tend to divide audiences more than any other certain style.
Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill (2003-04) series are seminal films, and parts one and two are truly a singular masterwork (spoilers to follow).
The Netflix Original film Kidnap starring Halle Berry tells the story of a single mother whose only child is kidnapped – cue a lot of high speed car chase scenes and a new action classic may have been born.
The Blackcoat’s Daughter (originally titled February) is a horror-thriller depicting the tale of two girls, Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), who are left at their boarding school over the winter break when their parents fail to pick them up.
Renowned director Kathryn Bigelow’s latest, Detroit, is set during the 1967 Detroit riots and stars John Boyega, Will Poulter and Anthony Mackie.
In 1922, a female victim is wrongly murdered and thrown into a country well, only to return and haunt the terrified protagonist in the form of a vengeful spirit.
The 1996 comedy classic that put Adam Sandler on the map, Happy Gilmore, gets recut as a thriller in this fantastic, funny fan-made trailer.
It was a humid day in Melbourne and I was glad to get inside the cinema to watch the premiere of The Snowman, hoping the air-conditioning would be as freezing as the evocative visuals of director Tomas Alfredson. Particularly those stark, stunning shots of the wintery Norwegian snow-covered hills around Oslo and Bergen, as advertised in the film’s trailer.
Your plane goes hurdling towards the ground, you face an almost certain death – if not by the impact itself, but by being stuck in the wilderness with no supplies. So what do you do? You fall in love.
The Bad Batch is candy for your ears and eyeballs, but contains little nutrition regarding storyline. But maybe that’s all you’re looking for in a movie?
