Susanna Wolff of CollegeHumor.com gave FPM a little interview, where we talked about her favourite film: Everyone Says I Love You, among other things.Tom: Alright, so i saw it around 3 weeks ago. Twice. It sort of set me off on a Woody Allen binge because I think the man's a total geniusSusanna: as you shouldTom: first off, why did you choose this film?Susanna: It's a movie that I absolutely

Lord, where to even begin here? I’ve been actively dreading this review since I saw Inglorious Basterds a little while ago. Tarantino films are complicated enough to watch. The concept of giving an academic opinion on such a tricky film as this made me quake in my boots moments after leaving the cinema.A second viewing recently quelled some of my fears. First-off, this is definitely a film you

Alright guys. Before we start, elephant in the room. You may or may not know Let The Right One In is a romance/vampire film, and you WILL know that, last year, a very popular and very high-profile romance/vampire film was released. It was almost impossible for me, as I watched Let The Right One In to not compare it to Twilight in my critical consideration. The concepts are undeniably similar, and

I miss him already. Despite the fact he pretty much became a recluse in '94, it was a comfort to know he was still out there. It's still very affecting for me, I've been singing his praises ever since I got into the whole film game. But everything must end.Chances are, if you ever saw a comedy film in or from the 80's, Hughes was involved somewhere along the line. The impact he had back then, the

Reblogged from my website:I know I’ve been posting a lot in the 2 days I’ve been here, but the news has just reached me that today, John Hughes, director of one of my favourite films of all time (Planes, Trains and Automobiles) passed away at the age of 59. Hughes was an incredible filmmaker and his work today remains regarded as some of the funniest, most heartfelt and most influential stuff to

As most of you die-hard fans will know, I wasn't a huge fan of JJ Abram's latest try at directing in Star Trek. It was good and everything, but the pretentious film-lover in me has been very vocal this summer, prompting me to dust off some of the films that may be considered very limited in their nourishment of the intellect. Star Trek was 80% bang and 20% other stuff. I guess sci-fi just lends

Summer is an interesting time of year. For some people. For others, like me it’s an excuse to avoid the sun at almost any cost. So here, as a welcome back present, it’s my review of some of the films I’ve watched (and re-watched) in my many venues for holiday fun these past few weeks.My travels first took me to Greece, where I watched Superbad about 4 times alternating between having the

Ever since Borat in 2006, we were left wondering: what’s next? Sacha Baron-Cohen has a good thing going, if you can understand and appreciate his style of humour/filmmaking then he never fails to deliver. The downside to his approach is we’re only ever going to see each of his characters for a short while before he has to get rid of him, lest the fame of his previous endeavors ruin his attempts

Alright, let’s get a few things sorted before this all kicks off. Transformers was a damn good film. It gave us what we wanted: Robots turning into cars and fighting and by god, they gave us it by the barrelfull. My original niggles stemmed from the fight scenes being too long and confusing. It’s much harder to tell where one robot begins and one ends when they’re in a ruck. Also, the dialogue

Musings: Episode 2Sorry for the delay. I’d give you a proper reason but if I’m completely honest I just forgot.Anyway, it’s that time of the year when awesome trailers for the Winter/Autumn start getting released. This episode’s awesomeness comes in the form of trailers for Guy Ritchie’s modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Call me bias but Anything with Robert Downey Jr. is going to be f***king

As terribly cliché as it would be of me to make some sort of “I’ll be back” pun, it was hard for any of us to believe Schwarzenegger, both in character and out of character, that the Terminator franchise would in any way return after the shambles that was Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. For a while it looked like that was the case. The story hadn’t nearly been told but the trilogy brought

Now I can take blogging into a whole new dimension, MICROBLOGGING! I have been following all those that mentioned 2008 favourites like In Bruges, The Wrestler and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I also searched and followed a few who liked The Happening, people like that very thin on the ground, though. I mean, who would publicly broadcast the fact they LIKED that film? Shameful.

Alright, so I saw the Fog a while back. It was shit, wasn’t it? Pirates have no serious place in horror. 2 years ago, The Mist was released. Some people thought this was a sequel, and therefore steered clear. I mean, if you thought the FOG was shit, how about a film about MIST? I gave it a go a year back and saw it again recently. The Mist is not your usual horror fare. Frank Darabont directs

You’ve probably heard of Brick. And Probably haven’t seen it. The first time I saw it was years back. And I only watched it then because Emilie De Ravin was in it (I’m not a pervert, just an overly motivated Lost fan). In 2006 I guess I must have been a little immature to process Brick because I thought it was weird as hell and, as a result, didn’t like it very much. Braving it again last night,

Those of you kind enough to have been reading when I was reviewing Monsters Vs. Aliens will know I was weary of 3D being as prominent as it seems to be becoming. I don't want to be marvelling at the visual in favour of a good story. Coraline was my first venture into 3D. I have seen it once in 2D as well.Coraline's a weird story - though what else can you expect from the man who directed The

-I heroically staved off revision this week and once again accepted procrastination as my saviour. As a result, I managed to watch the whole of Season 4 of House within the last 4 days. A very brief check of my vital anatomy reveals me to be, indeed, male. However, the season finale “Wilson’s Heart” has won the honour of being the first EVER thing on TV to make me cry. It now joins The Wrestler,

I hate Sundays, I know you do, too. The excitement and potential of the weekend has fully dissipated and all that’s left stretching ahead of you is some average TV and your week’s schedule. Having fun revising? That’s what I thought.Hey! Here’s an idea! Why not see a film? Don’t go to the cinema, the films are far too long and it costs way too much. You’ll never get enough work done in the day.

The difference in style is due to the fact this review is being published in my village's magazine. Before the beginning of 2009, if someone had mentioned Star Trek, the average person would have thought of dated CGI, unintentionally funny acting and, of course, those mythical, overly obsessed fans known as “Trekkies”. This is exactly what JJ Abrams would have thought of, too, before he signed on

Yes, it is true what they say. Well, actually there is no saying for this situation, but if there was one I imagine it’d be something like “If you’re completely f***ing crazy, you’ll have completely f***ing crazy relationships.” No-one told this to Chris Waits, who, after 13 (to his initial count) failed relationships, decides to take a journey, and interview the women of his life he let down.

Contrary to the belief caused by the naive, in-the-moment nature of humans today, love and romance are two very separate and exclusive ideas. VCB, Woody Allen’s first worthwhile film in as long as someone my age can remember, is a testament to this. Moving on from Allen’s fixation on London (the setting for his last 3 features), the focus shifts to the balmy and undeniably sexy climate of

I never got round to seeing the Wrestler in a cinema. Honestly, I feel like it’s the biggest mistake I ever made. Fuck Bambi, fuck Titanic and fuck P.S. I Love You, The Wrestler is the single most emotionally pitch-perfect film I have ever seen. And I’ll admit it, it made me cry.The Wrestler sees a “return” from Mickey Rourke into the world of acting (Although as I recall, he did a pretty nifty

2009 has been a good year for Paul Rudd. He’s had big success with his first lead in Role Models ( **** -One of my top 10 comedies ever) and I Love You Man promises to continue the trend for such a talented actor. At first glance, this is a weak film. Both leads have really only had a starring film each, the aforementioned Role Models for Rudd and 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall for Jason Seigel

Anyone who knows a thing or two about films today knows just how big the 3D debate has become over the last few months. Plenty of films are being made for a 3D audience nowadays. Is it a good thing. Here’s my view: A few days ago I went to see Monsters vs Aliens. The opening sequence involves a short scene set in space, as the camera glides through planets and the like, all I can remember

I’ll admit it, I like Richard Curtis. Come on, Love Actually was decent. You liked it, didn’t you? Don’t be shy. Everyone knows everyone liked that film, we just pretend to believe those that say they hate it, when really, as they’re flicking through Sky around christmas time and see it on ITV2, they can’t help but look. It infects you, as does all Curtis’ work, it makes you smile and there’s

We had Nicholas Cage (right), some outdated CG sequences from the trailer and an apocalyptic message laid out in cryptic numerical clues (Anyone remember a few years back when Jim Carrey bombed with something or other?). I entered the cinema with admittedly low expectations. Sitting down and viewing the first 20 minutes, it made for a

Review.Watchmen.I’ve known for a while now I would find this film very hard to review. Last summer, after truly realising the hype this film was generated, I bought and read the graphic novel of Watchmen. And, like many, I fell in love with it. The story is bold, big and uncompromising. each character is so broken and so human it’s not hard to see why this is considered one of the best pieces of

Well it's been a very long time since i've wrote on the blog, but i've seen a lot of films recently, 4 in the past 2 days that i have thought about reviewing.Firstly i watched Horton Hears A Who! again, definately a 4 star film.and the other three films i've watched were 'In Bruges' , 'Lars And The Real Girl' and 'Holes' i'll also probably put a review of something i've seen at the cinema

Because it's exams period, here's a quick overview of everything I've seen this month so far:Slumdog Millionaire: Boyle's near-perfect film takes you through almost the entire spectrum of emotions in an unfamiliar land and culture. Beautiful.9/10Frost/Nixon: Terrific acting, terrific story with a real intriguing historical background. I'm ashamed to have shunned this while it was out more widely.

The Apatow effect has really taken hold of Hollywood comedy since 2007. My favourite so far still being the arguable breakthrough film “Knocked Up” with Seth Rogen. SInce then, I’ve enjoyed the style and the actors in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad and Step Brothers. There have also been those I was quite indifferent to (PIneapple Express!). I have to admit, I found myself predicting Role

Yuck. Look, even the title looks wrong! "Christmases" is just one of those words that should not be. It's unnatural to type or even to look at. A certain irony can be found in this, as that is exactly how I felt about watching this film. Right from the off our leading Duo Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughan summon exactly nought charisma as Vaughan, the awkward, intellectual nice guy approaches

This review will either be amazing or terrible because I’m in an awful mood. I felt that in a state of high emotions I’d hopefully be able to write something meaningful and insightful about this decidedly average film.Remakes are dangerous territory. In fact, I myself can’t think of a single remade film I truly love. The first trailer that came with The Day The Earth Stood Still made me think,

Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and newcomer Hollywood golden boy James McAvoy, surely they’d never go for anything more out-there than that. Right?Wrong.Forget any notions

Ellen Page at her finest. This is not a big film by anyone's standards, but still manages to be my favourite film of hers ever. Slade directs this creepy, wordy thriller which, despite being rated 18+ shows almost no gore at all. This only goes to show, however just how unsettling and claustrophobic the film gets as it progresses. With little over 2 characters in the entire film (and almost no

What? The Tom appreciates good screenwriting, regardless of demographic.Sharp, insightful but a little off-base, this highly enjoyable film delivers for the first hour then gets mired in morality. Still bloody good fun, though. One-liners aplenty, this film gets better with age.Rating: ****

Underrated by many, Depp steals the show here opposite a disastrously boring Charlie. What struck me most about this annoyingly American-friendly family film was how dark the dialogue could be. The sets are nothing short of amazing. A worthy re-imagining by anyone's standards, but we still love Gene Wilder's version more.Rating: ***

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People based upon the memoir of Toby Young, it tells the story of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a failing editor of his own film magazine who attempts to break into celebrity parties to score interviews with celebrities, this leads to a well written and charming conversation between Sidney and Thandie Newton.

The blog slows down with some 50's whimsy now, as I review the Jimmy Stewart classic, Harvey.There's no doubt in anyone's mind that a James Stewart film about a man who's best friend is an invisible six-foot rabbit is going to be endearing. It exceeds this preconception in every way. Stewart's character Elwood P Dowd is among one of the nicest people ever, in history or fiction. His unrelenting

On a cold, satisfying Christmas morning in 2004, I first experienced the delight of the classic film Planes, Trains and Automobiles.In 2008, I watched it again, on probably about my 15th viewing. Having scratched my previous DVD, this was a new one. I rarely cry at films, in face only one or two have ever made me actually well up.

An unusual Apatow DVD, just one disc (shame) for one of the flagship films of the new Hollywood megastudio, doesn't skimp on the single disc, mind - an extended cut of the film is an option featuring a hilarious yoga scene and an extended plane scene. Deleted scenes are disappointing but the commentary shines, some of it funnier than the copious one-liners we've come to expect from these films.

It was ineviateble that at some point, Will Ferrell would break his downward trend of the quality of his films.

Chris and I attended the cinema this evening. It was a fun night, we originally had planned to see RockNRolla, A film I am still looking forward to. Chris and I are huge Lock, Stock fans.We decided, it's all about you the blog readers, and you'd much rather read a review of us tearing Disaster Movie to pieces. Let's face it, it's going to be awful. However, approaching the ticket desk we couldn't

Just how big a factor does the overall jist of a film play in it's appeal? Would the Dark Knight have done as well if Heath Ledger still walked among us? "Of course" the fanboys will cry, "Absolutely not" say the cynics. In the case of horror films, the genre is enough to have punters flooding to opening weekends and buying grimly-titled DVDs on the bottom shelf of the A to Z at Blockbuster

I'd like to thank Chris for his reviews while I've been away, I'd been meaning to review Hancock for a while and his Pan's Labyrinth review was nothing short of amazing. I'd like to take the time to say Del Torro has to be my favourite filmaker of the moment, Hellboy II is an incredible work (review coming soon!) and we can only begin to imagine where he'll take The Hobbit.Look out for me in the

Pans Labyrinth tells the story of Ofelia, growing up after the Spanish Civil war. Ofelia and her pregnant mother go and stay with Captain Vidal at his mountain post where he and his soldiers are fighting the rebels. Captain Vidal is Ofelia's step father and the father of Ofelia's mother's soon to arrive baby. Ofelia finds a scapegoat from the horrors of the real world like her mother being very

Hancock begins by telling the story of John Hancock (Will Smith), a superhero whose deeds to society are not appreciated because of the destruction he causes in order to do the right thing and how he becomes accepted by the public with the help of Ray (Jason Bateman), but half way through the film changes it's plot and becomes a lot more complicated and unnecessary.Hancock starts out as a very

Shark Boy and Lava Girl????!!!!???WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?????!!!!!????The plot of shark boy is literally that he was raised by sharks and for no reason grew gills and apparently the sharks told him how to fight.....oh and he grew a fin too from being around sharks so much.WORST FILM EVER!!!!!!!Oh and also, another thing which really emphasises the question "what the hell were they thinking":http:

Well here is my take on the film Wall-EWall-E tells the story of a robot on earth whose sole job is to clear up earths rubbish, unfortunately he is the last thing on earth because all the humans left because earth became unliveable after a huge increase in fumes and rubbish, Wall-E has been stuck on earth for around 700 years and eventually becomes curious and lonely being the only robot left on

There's been points in films where at some point, something happened that made you lose all faith in the film.I hope to showcase some of the best examples of that, starting with a humdinger from Spring 2007.Yes it's the infamous Spiderman 3 dance sceneWhat were they thinking?!

My tickets worked. :)The Dark Knight. It was a mission in itself to try and get an objective view of this film after all the hype, marketing, and Ledger's death in January. However, I felt eventually the anticipation served me well, and even if it is a little subjective, who cares? I'm 17 and have been looking forward to this film for 10 months.The first thing to say about it is it's long. Really

I know this probably isn't a review that you'd be expecting to see on here but i watched this film last week because of my sudden, strange want to see Disney films that i hadn't before, and i felt i had to review it after seeing it.The Emperors New Groove is the story of the Emperor Kuzco who plans to build a summer home on top of a hill which unfortunately is the home of peasant Pacha, who lives

My first real blog story.It's Monday afternoon, and Chris (from the blog) and I are out in town."Why don't we get our tickets for The Dark Knight today?" I ask, aware of the complications that can arise when trying to get into a Summer blockbuster. Chris agrees and, as I owe him probably over £10, I offer to buy his ticket as well. I go to the cash office and buy two tickets for the 20.30 showing

Part 1I have now watched the first 30 minutes of Wall-E.It's an absolute classic. A cinematic delight so rare I can remember every moment, yet want to see it all again. Wall-E is an absolutely heartbreaking character, whether he's panicking over where to put a spork he's found (in the spoon section or the fork section?) or folding himself into a cube, rocking himself to sleep (a stunningly sad

Less than 2 weeks now before Project Knight-E is activated (The act of watching both Wall-E and The Dark Knight in one day) and I can't wait.Will Wall-E beat Toy Story 2 as the greatest Pixar film ever?Will Heath Ledger win an Oscar?!Will these two film together, go down in cinematic history as true modern greats?Stay tuned.

Quite possibly the worst film I've seen all year.It may just edge out The Happening.Right, where to start with this horrendous mess of plot holes, bad, bad acting and truly abysmal script writing?St. Trinian's is obviously not going to be the sort of film I was ever going to like. However I even surprised myself for my level of disdain for it upon the closing credits (I'm surprised most of them

Indy 4 was a good, well plotted film. I for one LIKED the idea of aliens, we got something genuinely historically mythical, as well as it being a superb action film without the extra-terrestrial plotline.Spiderman 2 beats any other comic book film ever made. Even X2, Batman or Batman Begins.School of Rock wasn't THAT good.Magicians was a funny film. it's got a good 3 stars to it's name and plenty

I start writing this post by rocking out to the song Iron Man by Black Sabbath, and i assure you though that was very fun it will not change my opinion of the film (sorry Robert Downey Jr.)When i heard about Iron Man being the best superhero film since classics such as Spiderman 2 and Superman from other reviews i must say i was very hyped, seeing as i am a massive fan of the superhero film genre

Well, as it's July 4th, here's my quick, lackluster review of Will Smith's Independence Day.Will Smith: Good roleAliens: Pretty creepy, but a bit stupid if you believe the plotlineCGI was pretty damn impressive for a film 10 years old.The plot was a bit crap, as was the dialogue.

I feel I should explain myself on this one, as I have recieved my fair share of controversy within my circle of friends for announcing this film deserves 4 stars.It recieved mixed reviews by the "professional" critics. But this is not a film for the critics. It is a film for the audience.About 6 weeks ago I watched Run, Fatboy, Run for the first time, having kept close tabs on the reviews I had

Having only seen the first half it's not right to pass judgement just yet I'm afraid, but rest assured it's so far got itself a very respectable ***+.It's come together very nicely, the CGI is fantastic and it's a very entertaining storyline. No real threat in the baddies though, and very little blood in the fight scenes. Plus the dialogue is a little ropey.Rating: (so far) ***+/*****Sequel:
