This is a fascinating look at a classic film. If you have a couple of hours then I highly recommend watching this. So much to learn about one of the great pulp action movies. After the success of Star Wars Begins, filmmaker Jamie Benning embarked upon a new adventure. This time turning his attention to the first film in the Indiana Jones Trilogy (yes,...

  If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything. Win Borden Set in Southern California, a father moves his young family to the countryside to renovate and re-open a struggling zoo. Director: Cameron Crowe Writers: Aline Brosh McKenna, Cameron Crowe Stars: Matt Damon, Scarlett...

If you could fly, were invincible, and had super strength… Are you still with me? Good. So, if you had all of those powers, and needed, say, $700… what would you do? You at the back? Yes. That’s right. Fly to another Country/State/whatever, and rob a bank. You at the side? Yes. That’s right. You could sell endorsements. Maybe toy...

Anyone that leaves The Grey angry at not seeing Liam Neeson fist fight Wolves is a fucking idiot. I don’t care what the trailer suggests. I don’t care that you think you’re owed a fight scene. You missed the point. The trailer missed the point. Don’t stop – just go. Keep walking. Go and see Jack and Jill and disengage your...

The John Carter movie will be with us in March. The books by Edgar Rice Burroughs are pure pulp goodness. Sci-fi and fantasy mix to create tales of derring do, multi armed aliens and endless battles for the hand of beautiful alien princesses. Sadly none of the posters yet released for the Disney adaptation by Andrew Stanton have yet to push that spark of...

Do you like girls in hot pink matching underwear? Thought so. Right that got your attention. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to the knickers, but let me talk about a MAN who is ON a LEDGE. In case I didn’t make it abundantly clear, this is a review of big budget Sam Worthington-starring-non-James-Cameron-or-ancient-Greece-set vehicle Man On A Ledge –...

What follows is a ramble, even by my standards. But, even more pertinently, it offers an apology. From me. From Phil. From the whole of LFF Towers. We dropped the ball, and as a result, the UK (and our Swedish/Dutch fans – Hi Rob), didn’t bother to see Sherlock 2 as a result. So… is the The End   ?   I’ve had one of those...

2011 had some great films. It also had some lousy films. That’s the way of the world. With that in mind I hereby open up voting for the 1st Live for Films Movie Awards. Celebrating the films of the past year it is now down to you, dear reader, to choose the winners. Look over the various nominees in the different categories below and pick you...

I was fortunate enough to attend the Red Carpet for the The Woman in Black world premiere last night at the Royal Festival in London (sadly I didn’t get to watch the film with the stars but I do have a review up from an early screening). All the big stars and many of the crew were in attendance so I grabbed a few videos for you. Daniel Radcliffe on the...

You can see videos of the premiere here. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a scary movie, that’s not to say I haven’t watched “scary” movies, it’s just that accolades such as “Scariest movie of the decade” or “my heart actually stopped when watching this movie” have never quite lived up to...
