Kenneth Branagh
Tenet Review: A Spoiler-Free Look at Christopher Nolan’s Latest
Here's our spoiler-free review of one of the most anticipated films of this very odd cinema season – Christopher Nolan's TENET.
Artemis Fowl Review: A Film Cursed To Fail
Twelve minutes into the movie, Colin Farrell gets in a helicopter and flies away, and frankly, we can't blame him because it’s all downhill from there.
The King Review
Timothée Chalamet’s fiery performance in The King would make previous cinematic Henry's like Olivier, Branagh, and Welles proud.
Parental Guidance MCU Rewatch: Thor
As a family, we pledged to embark upon an epic MCU rewatch before we see Avengers: Endgame – and answer the all-important question: should you watch these with your kids? Next up 2011's Thor!
Cinderella Review
Kenneth Branagh's live action telling of Disney's Cinderella is basically a classic fairy tale perfected and everything a Disney fan could ask for.
Home Entertainment Review: Henry V
Kenneth Branagh's 1989 breakthrough adaptation of Henry V is finally on blu ray, Phil Brown reviews this highly anticipated disc.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Review
It’s tough to tell if hardcore fans of Jack Ryan will be delighted or disgusted when it comes to Kenneth Branagh’s reboot of Tom Clancy’s beloved spy. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit has some decent moments or action and a solid lead in Chris Pine, but it’s far too inconsistent and formulaic to be a good film.
CONTEST: See an Advance Screening of JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT in TORONTO, OTTAWA, or MONTREAL!
Enter for a chance to win a pair of passes to an advance screening of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit on Wednesday, January 15th at 7:30pm in Toronto, Ottawa, or Montreal, courtesy of Dork Shelf and Paramount Pictures!
The New Old: Theatre/Absurd
In our archival home entertainment column for this week, we look at forms of grand theatre and the theatre of the somewhat absurd, as Phil Brown looks at Ken Russell's Altered States and Andrew Parker takes a look at some classic Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare with Twelfth Night and the 80s cheeseball classic No Holds Barred.
This Week in DVD: 7/10/12
In a busy week for little seen movies coming to DVD and Blu-ray, we take a look at Nicolas Cage in Seeking Justice, Willem Dafoe in The Hunter, director Morgan Spurlock's look at the San Diego Comic-Con, the offbeat comedy Jesus Henry Christ, Jon Voight in Beyond, and the aptly titled dark comedy Some Guy Who Kills People.
Thor Review
I should preface this review with one caveat: I've never read or watched — or heard of Thor at all, really — before seeing the film. As you can probably guess from the preceding sentence, I don't even know what format of text or media from which its story originates. Colour me uneducated and largely incurious. Instead of attempting to hide this gaping hole in my nerd credentials, I'm sure that highlighting my lack of Thor knowledge will make for a pretty interesting review.
Thor Review
I didn’t know it until I saw it, but I have been waiting for a summer movie like Thor for a long time. It is fun, far more fun than any comic adaptation I have seen in years. Its director brings to it a distantiation that allows for investment in the fun of it all: the outrageous narration, exaggerated and impossible action sequences, and actors who can just let go and enjoy the ride without any pressure while still maintaining their integrity and talent. This, my friends, is what a summer movie should be: exciting, clever, comedic, and a joyride.
