Since deciding to make a move into the acting world, Justin Timberlake has been slowly building a portfolio of interesting roles. He’s shown his acting chops in The Social Network and his comedic talents in Saturday Night Live, and combines the two in The Trouble With The Curve, joining Amy Adams and Clint Eastwood. Adams, [...]

For a film by first time director, “The Trouble With The Curve” boasts an impressive cast – Amy Adams, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake and, at the center of it all, Clint Eastwood. Robert Lorenz has worked with Eastwood for years, producing many of his films and acting as a second unit or assistant director, all [...]

You have to feel a little bit sorry for Chris Hemsworth back in his first few years of Hollywood. Even with those dashing good looks. After making a great impression in his small role in ‘Star Trek’ Hemsworth was quickly cast in two major roles… in Joss Whedon’s ‘Cabin In The Woods’ and the remake [...]

Despite having played a hand in some of the most visually impressive animated blockbusters of the past decade, many of those now out in re-issued 3D form, “Toy Story 3″ director Lee Unkrich still hasn’t invested in a 3D Blu-ray player and television for his home theater. “I’m in the middle of upgrading”, Unkrich says, [...]

Ok. I’m going to say it. ‘Skyfall’ is my favorite Bond film EVER. I know, big call, but Sam Mendes won me over by grounding Bond in reality, making the story personal to him, bringing on Javier Bardem as a dangerous villain, upping the stakes, adding more beautiful Bond girls… while at the same time [...]

Neal Acree is a composer without fear as he’s pretty much tackled all areas of music, whether it be for television (“Stargate SG-1” and “Sanctuary”), video games (“World of Warcraft” series and “Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty”), and of course, movies (“Assassination Games”, “War of the Dead” and “Six Bullets”). He recently took out some [...]

Guy Edmonds has completed the rounds of essential Australian series such as “Home and Away” and “Underbelly: Razor”, and is about to hit the L.A. scene as a double threat actor and filmmaker.  But not before starring in this charming new Australian comedy series “A Moody Christmas”, currently airing on ABC1. As one point of [...]

He’s responsible for some of the meatiest cinema fare out there, with his latest ”The Master” up there with some of the most dramatic, emotionally-stirring epics of the year, but surprisingly, acclaimed writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s taste in film likely isn’t that dissimilar to the everyday cinemagoer. Most weekends you’ll likely find Anderson (and actress [...]

When he was offered the chance to be involved in friend and Radio/TV personality Ed Kavalee’s self-funded comedy telemovie “Scumbus”, acclaimed Aussie actor Lachy Hulme (“Howzat!”, “The Hollowmen”) didn’t need the 60-seconds of thinking music before answering – it had him at ‘logline’. Based on a story originally conceived by actor Josh Lawson (“Any Questions [...]

Paul Fenech is famous for writing, starring in, directing and producing outrageous and controversial Aussie comedy, mostly as the character Pauly Falzoni in “Pizza” and all its spinoff films and TV shows. Now he’s bringing his latest show “Housos” to the big screen in “Housos vs. Authority”. His character Frank  joined by felloe housing commission [...]

Usually in a story about a director, you’d say something about his or her filmography and style, but in the case of rapper turned actor turned director RZA (The Wu Tang Clan), we can only talk about the future. Despite an acting resume that goes back to 2005′s ”Derailed” (or Jim Jarmusch’s ”Coffee and Cigarettes” [...]

“The Amazing Spider-Man” hits DVD and Blu-ray today; to celebrate the sticky coming’s of the lounge-room premiere of the pic, we caught up with director Marc Webb (“500 Days of Summer”) to ask all the important questions concerning the Marvel reboot – like, erm, when’s the next one dude? Was it a shock to go [...]

It’s probably too early to call an Oscar result (we haven’t seen Hitchcock or Lincoln yet) but whatever happens, John Hawkes will give the pack a serious run for their money. Not only doe Academy members love people who are sick, dying or disabled, Hawkes can’t move much more than his eyes and mouth and [...]

At the Toronto Film Festival premiere of ‘Argo’ I sat next a lady who I can only describe as “an over-reactor”. She was gasping and gawking even during the moments of low drama, and as the action heightened towards the thrilling climax… I thought she was going to have a heart attack. After the credits [...]

Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Bryan Cranston are three very impressive guys. Between them, they’ve starred in over 300 movies, been nominated for hundreds of awards (with Arkin winning an Oscar for ‘Little Miss Sunshine’) Now, they could be headed for more awards glory, thanks to their roles in ‘Argo’. At the Toronto Film Festival, [...]
