Enter and winWhilst the technological aspect is well-documented, Avatar is so much more than showcase of innovation. Placed together with a good, albeit familiar plot, and this really is a true form of escapism.
Ritchie has become known for his slightly off-beat films (when not helming catastrophic vanity projects), but there are few hints of anything outside of mainstream filmmaking in Sherlock Holmes.
The Girlfriend Experience is one of the more courageous and challenging films to come out this year, and the fact that it Soderbergh’s can give us all hope.
Aptly described as a ‘feel-good war movie’, it charts some of the more bizarre elements of the US military as they experimented with new-age techniques.
When the nicest thing that can be said about The Box is that it isn’t quite as bad as Kelly’s previous film; Southland Tales, things don’t bode well.
