Filmmaker Gavin Hood is at his best when he gets political. The less said about his superhero outing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the better, while Ender’s Game underwhelmed. However, after his breakthrough Tsotsi, efforts like Rendition, though especially Eye in the Sky and now Official Secrets, show how engaged he is when he’s passionate about a cause. Here, telling the true story of a British whistleblower in the lead up to the 2003 Iraq War, he’s found a terrific vehicle for his talents. The film is angry, urgent, and effortlessly well made. Hitting theaters this week, it’s a mature and serious work that’s well worth your time. The movie is a political thriller, based on the true story of Katharine Gun (Keira Knightley), a member of British Intelligence who leaked classified documents in an attempt to stop the 2003 invasion of Iraq. A longtime effective and loyal intelligence office,...

High-minded and sturdy, if never as galvanizing as it should be, Gavin Hood’s whistleblower drama “Official Secrets” follows a string of similarly themed, recent-history docudramas in trying to frame a noble fight as worth waging no matter the repercussions.
And in the real-life case of British intelligence analyst Katharine Gun, played with trademark poise and fierce smarts by Keira Knightley, a consequential impulse to go rogue and do right by millions of citizens in England and Iraq in the pre-invasion buildup put her squarely in the crosshairs of her country’s need to punish those willing to expose the darker workings in the drumbeat to war.
If you don’t know anything about Gun’s actions and subsequent ordeal — highly likely since war happened anyway, and regrettably so since this incident should have helped prevent it — “Official Secrets,” serves as an efficiently told primer. It’s a historical sidebar...

In January 2003, British government employee Katherine Gun was emailed a memo that requested she, and those she worked with at the Gchq (Government Communications Headquarters), listen in on the Un offices of six nations: Angola, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Guinea, and Pakistan. These countries held the crucial swing votes on the approval of the invasion of Iraq. Regarding this ask as illegal, Gun leaked the email to a friend with connections to The Observer. The information goes public and Gun’s life changes forever as the government charges her under the Official Secrets Act of 1989.
Directed by Gavin Hood and starring Keira Knightley as Gun, Official Secrets digs into this story with plenty of aplomb if not enough urgency. Such a languid pace at which this movie operates! Running at nearly two hours, the script, spends an admirable amount of time in its first act developing Gun as a character. Unfortunately,...

"There's a storm coming, and I don't know of any umbrella that can keep the city dry." This is an actual quote from Revenge of the Green Dragons, an awful movie if I've ever seen one and a baffling one at that as Martin Scorsese has attached his name to the picture as an executive producer, presumably as a nod to co-writer and co-director Andy Lau going back to when Scorsese adapted Infernal Affairs into the Oscar winner The Departed. Fair enough, but Lau makes more than enough films and Scorsese didn't need to come within a mile of this one and tarnish his reputation. Then again, perhaps this 94-minute cut isn't the only cut of the film out there. The trailer certainly includes shots that aren't in the film and the characters are so poorly established there has to be more than what I saw. Of course, that won't...

According to an IGN interiew with Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat, the “Prince of Persia” series is being “paused,” for the time being.
“Brand management is a tricky thing,” he said, explaining that some games can be put on hold and then “suddenly [pop] up because a team is willing to do it.”
“We sometimes iterate on franchises and sometimes we give them time to breathe and time to grow, or time to rest,” he elaborated. “‘Prince of Persia’ is as important as any other franchise for Ubisoft.”
The Montreal-based studio brought “Prince of Persia” back to the forefront of the games industry with the “Sands of Time” trilogy during the mid-2000s, after letting Jordan Mechner’s original games “rest” for almost a decade. “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands” was released in 2010 in conjunction with a Jake Gyllenhaal-starring film of the same name, though...

John Carpenter is considered one of the most iconic horror directors, having created such classic chillers as Halloween, The Thing and The Fog. Carpenter has also given us some damn good action movies too, introducing us to Snake Plissken in Escape From New York and even blessing video game icon Duke Nukem with one of his most famous lines (“I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…. And i’m all outta gum”) which was nabbed from alien invasion movie They Live.
Sadly, Carpenter’s work has become somewhat overshadowed by a later career of disappointing films – many of which have failed to excite both critics and audiences.
As we enter the final stretch of this years 31 Days Of Horror celebration, we take a look at the 5 best and the 5 worst films made by the infamous master of horror.

After a triple whammy of major disappointments with his last three movies, Escape From La, Vampires and Ghosts Of Mars, cult director John Carpenter has spent the last decade well and truly out of the limelight. As a result of this extended sojourn expectations for his latest project were obviously high with many questioning had the once great director of true cinema classics such as Halloween, Escape From New York and The Thing lost his edge? A step in the right direction was the casting of scream queen of the moment Amber Heard as his leading lady for his latest film The Ward, released on Blu-ray and DVD today, but is this the return to form that everyone was hoping for?

After an almost ten year absence from directing feature films, John Carpenter is back with The Ward. The film is a mental hospital set horror starring Amber Heard, Lyndsy Fonseca, Jared Harris, Danielle Panabaker and Mika Boorem and it’s really rather good.
I was lucky enough to speak to John Carpenter earlier this year (bear this in mind for the section in which he talks about present/future projects) and you can read the fruits of this interview below. We covered a variety of topics including The Ward, Horror films, monster movies and much more. He also shared with me some very brief but details on the film project he’s currently working on.
Why did you decide to return from a break in directing features with The Ward and what were your reasons for taking the break?
I stopped in 2001 and I was seriously considering not making movies again.

The Film:
Other than teaming with Mick Garris and directing a pair of episodes (Cigarette Burns, Pro-Life) for the short-lived Showtime series Masters of Horror, John Carpenter has not been behind the camera since the 2001 box-office flop Ghost of Mars. Piss-poor marketing by Screen Gems and the real life horrors of 9/11 crushed any chance it had to be a hit. While it is not Carpenter’s strongest work, it is still better than the other red planet inspired flicks released at the time, and could best be described as Assault on Precinct 13 on Mars. Fast forward to a decade later and John is finally back with The Ward.

He’s baaaaack! After a self-imposed retirement from the film business, John Carpenter, a man who has etched his way into the bleeding black hearts of horror fans everywhere with movies like The Thing, Halloween, The Fog, and Christine – has come home to his roots with the low budget movie The Ward. Killer Film goes in-depth with Carpenter on his latest fright of flight flick that looks to be a real white knuckler and a return to form for the maestro.

While we all wait patiently for John Carpenter's The Ward to dole out the goods here in the States, yet another bit of the film has popped up online -- its opening credits sequence.
You can dig on that and sample the score by Mark Kilian below courtesy of Italian horror site Splatter Container.
Amber Heard (Drive Angry 3D), Mamie Gummer ("Off the Map"), and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th) star in this shocker set in a 60s mental institution terrorized by malevolent forces.

In just a few day's time legendary director John Carpenter will be returning to the big screen for the first time in nearly a decade when his new film, The Ward, screens as part of the Midnight Madness program at the Toronto International Film Festival. I recently had the chance to have a brief conversation with Carpenter in which he addresses his latest work, an old classic and Canada's recreational options.
TB: So, thank you for taking the time.
Jc: No, thank you. Where are you located?
TB: I'm in Toronto, actually, where we are looking forward to welcoming you soon. And I hope the city is good to you.
Jc: Well, thank you. I'm hoping I can come. I have one thing that may keep me from being there, which is jury duty, but if I don't get called I will be there.
TB: I suppose the place to start,...

Where as once it might have been a certificate of emotional authenticity, all too often these days the accompanying tagline "Inspired by a true story" has subtly devolved into cinematic shorthand for 'Please give my poorly thought out clap-trap a pass because at least some small part of it probably happened just like I say it did.' As is the case with The Least Among You, a well-intentioned staging of noted theology professor Rev. Dr. Charles Marks' formative years, undone in equal parts by a weak central performance and a loaded screenplay courtesy of first time writer/director Mark Young.

We assume most Bidites out in horror land are excited about John Carpenter's directorial return. Jc (it's how we address him when we're on the golf course together) always brings his A game no matter what the project is and when studios hire him they usually get the total package. Carpenter's musical scores are as famous as his movies and that is saying a lot...
So when Fangoria magazine caught up with the legendary Halloween director to talk about his latest film The Ward (which should hit theaters in July?) the conversation quickly turned to the soundtrack for the film and how involved Carpenter would be on it. Unfortunately, for die hard Jc fans the answer is not at all. But he has named a very talented film composer Mark Kilian to fill in the very large shoes of the director. It's certainty not the news we wanted to...

When John Carpenter's The Ward ultimately reaches the big screen, it will be without a score by the main man himself, or his son Cody for that matter. Instead, the Carpenter-endorsed Mark Kilian is handling composer duties. Kilian's credits include Day Break , the Idris Elba-starring Legacy and more . The Ward is Carpenter's first feature film since Ghosts of Mars and stars Amber Heard and Danielle Panabaker. Heard plays a young woman committed to a psychiatric facility and discovers a ghost haunting the patients there.
