Kick-Ass

Posted on March 30, 2010 by theclapperbored

Matthew Vaughn is an extremely confident director. With only two films to his directorial CV you might be under the impression that he would be bow to studio pressures in order to get his blockbusters made. Not so. Kick-Ass is … Continue reading →

I Love You Philip Morris

Posted on March 30, 2010 by theclapperbored

Jim Carrey infrequently trys his hand at serious acting, rather than his usual rubber faced antics. Some are brilliant (see The Truman Show) others are somewhere near awful (see The Number 23). What I Love You Philip Morris acheives is … Continue reading →

Broken Embraces

Posted on September 1, 2009 by theclapperbored

Almodovar has returned with this portrait of obcession, guilt and desire. The fact that it’s as disjointed in it’s presentation as the title suggests shows that whilst fans of the Spanish maestros indulgent style will be sucked in by another … Continue reading →

Funny People

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Posted on August 27, 2009 by theclapperbored

Watching ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ you’ll be amazed by the way in which the producers have attacked the hit novel. Rather than turning this into the logic transcending romance that it might have looked like, they have made it something … Continue reading →

Moon

Posted on August 23, 2009 by theclapperbored

This summer has been riddled with dissapointments. Comedies without the necessary laughs (The Ugly Truth/Year One/The Proposal), Blockbusters that failed to fire on all cylinders (Transformers 2) and less than brilliant would-be-masterpieces (Public Enemies).

The Ugly Truth

Posted on August 18, 2009 by theclapperbored

In order to see and enjoy ‘The Ugly Truth’ you will have to spend £7 on a ticket and £3 on a nice soda or popcorn. That means that when you sit down to watch Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler … Continue reading →

Coco Avant Chanel

Posted on August 1, 2009 by theclapperbored

Audrey Tatou increasingly appears to be the only French actress that Hollywood accepts. Marion Cotillard has defected to English speaking roles (Public Enemies) but even despite the travesty that was ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Tatou continues to glow in French … Continue reading →
