- Inland Empire
Watch the trailer here There are lots of reasons why you look forward to seeing a movie: you’ve seen the cool trailer, you like the directors past work or the same with the actors. More often than not you can make a good call based on these reasons, but sometimes… you just can’t. Talking of [...]
- Factory Girl
Watch the trailer here Andy Warhol made movies, and lets be honest about this, they were boring. But at least they weren’t as dull as ‘Factory Girl’ a biopic about Warhol protégé and 60’s socialite Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller). Edie as aspiring artist, moves to New York in attempt to escape a wealthy, overbearing father [...]
- The Fountain
Watch the trailer here Seldom does Hollywood produce a movie that challenges and divides audiences with such polarised and contrasting opinion. Even more rarely does it release a film completely outside of its usual multiplex-fodder formula with such high production values.

With this Anglo/Dutch production, Verhoeven is aiming for a wider audience than just Europe. This epic of betrayal and deceit tracks the moral dilemmas the Dutch Nazi resistance [...]
- Trust The Man
Watch the trailer here What a misnomer of title – not that movie titles really mean anything or have any correlation to the movie in question anyway. This is allegedly a smart, sophisticated comedy about the challenges of love and marriage among modern day New Yorkers, TRUST THE MAN features the romantic escapades of two [...]
- Wild Blue Yonder
Official Website This is an experimental film by Werner Herzog of ‘Grizzly Man’ fame. I have had the pleasure of creating film posters for this fellow. It looks like he was clearing out the cupboards of his editing studio and he came across some spare footage from Nasa, an arctic/underwater nature documentary and some archive [...]
- A Scanner Darkly
The latest in an increasingly long line of of book adaptations from mind bending sci-fi authour Philip K. Dick – ‘A Scanner Darkly’ is the closest to home in terms of the far out weirdness that is so synonymous with his style of writing. Previous adaptations such as the now cult classic Bladerunner, Total Recall, [...]
