While the big budget Hollywood features struggle to come up with creative original ideas, independent cinema is more than picking up the slack. With the release this week of Colossal, something very unique is hitting screens. It mixes indie sensibilities with some elements of gigantic blockbusters. Weird, right? Well, that doesn’t even begin to describe this one, which has a second half that’s downright bonkers, including a third act you’ll never see coming. There are flaws, including a running time padded by at least 15 minutes, but they don’t shield you from the ambition on display. I can guarantee that you won’t see anything else like Colossal this year, that is for sure. This flick is one with a premise that doesn’t do it justice. Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is an alcoholic party girl just sort of going through a lot. Her drinking has led her...

Walking out of my screening of Taken 3 a publicist asked me, "So what did you thinkc" I was kind and said, "It's not very good at all." She replied, "Why was it not goodc" I understand she was just doing her job, studios like to get notes from critics walking out of movies. I don't know what they do with them, the movie has already been made, early Thursday screenings of the film were probably already taking place as she asked and I doubt they were going to attempt any reshoots or edits based on my thoughts. But they must do something with them because they always ask. Now, to the question, Why was Taken 3 not any goodc To be honest, I don't even think it's a question that should be asked. The proper reply is to ask, "Did you watch the moviec" Because if you saw with...

To celebrate the UK DVD and Blu-ray release on The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest on April 11th we managed yet again to get some interview time with the cast and crew of the film. This time round it’s the turn of Costume Designer Cilla Rorby.
1) How was it working with Daniel Alfredson and Jonas Frykberg? Obviously costume is incredibly important for Lisbeth, how does it evolve in 3 films?
Daniel is a nice and calm man. We were not so many in the team who made all 3 films.
I made costumes for all three films and the first one is the one that “set the style”. I had all three in my head to be able to do the first, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was important for me to know the whole story even if I only had the script for the first one for a long time.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Blu-Ray)Music Box FILMS2009/ Not Rated /153 minsNow Available – List Price: $34.95I can't imagine Hollywood creating a better adaptation than the Swedish production of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Whether the worldwide popularity of Larsson's trilogy of novels or the fact that the film broke box office records in Scandinavia influenced producers and director David Fincher to consider making an American adaptation remains to be seen. But I honestly feel that no one will be able to top what director Niels Arden Oplev and Yellow Bird productions have achieved here, which is one of the best films of the year. No matter how faithful Fincher and company may attempt to be towards the source material, much of its essence will no doubt be lost in translation. The film follows the story of middle-aged investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) who has...

Stieg Larsson's blockbuster crime thriller is brought successfully to the screen, with its quirky Scandinavian details intact
One of the best, least celebrated of Scandinavian movies of the past few years, We Shall Overcome (2006) was set in 1969 in a conventional Danish town where a spirited 13-year-old schoolboy, a radical follower of Martin Luther King, takes on the uphill task of confronting a reactionary headmaster, a sadistic bully whose role as pillar of the community no one dare challenge. Its director, Niels Arden Oplev, must have seemed, ideologically at least, the right person to bring the late Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy of crime novels to the screen, and in the event the producers' bold decision has been amply vindicated.
Faithfully adapted from the first novel (published in Sweden as Män som hatar kvinnor/Men Who Hate Women), the first-rate The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo unites Mikael Blomkvist (the rumpled,...
