Most sequels have a tough enough job just living up to their first movie, and this one would have had a big enough job just being a sequel to the original Shazam! What director David F. Sandberg’s first movie had was the novelty of the story of a boy having the power to just speak a magic word and finding himself in his now adult “ultimate form”, plus the power of being nearly Superman’s equal (some would argue even more), a fun novelty super hero movie. The story also had the subplot of young Billy Batson’s quest to find his mother after having been in foster homes his whole life, only to realize that the foster home he is in has provided him with the family he really needed by the end of the movie. In the end, he creates the Shazam family,...

Safe to say opinions are getting increasingly low on Hollywood’s wave of remakes, sequels, reboots and prequels, this year alone sees a plethora hitting cinemas from the genuinely awaited follow-ups (Incredibles 2) to some curious reinventions (Robin Hood), to the downright odd decisions (Mary Poppins Returns). So, it is little surprise that when Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was announced people were really quite baffled by a remake of the 1995 action/adventure hit, even more so following the all-too-soon death of its much-loved star Robin Williams. However this film is not actually a remake as such, more a quasi-sequel to the original film and despite the predictably acidic comments from some corners of the Internet (quelle suprise), the film is actually a surprisingly big wallop of enjoyment.
By wisely deciding to keep select strands of the original film’s DNA intact and yet mostly going in a whole new direction,...

Do not be fooled by Dane DeHaan’s presence in Metallica: Through The Never. In no way do the legendary rockers take a backseat to some twisted, dystopian storyline as the trailer suggest, as director Nimród Antal delivers an absolute spectacle of a feature length music video/VIP concert experience mashup – but nothing else. Please don’t take this as a negative point though, as I’m a metalhead who was rocking out with everyone in my screening, but instead heed my words going into Metallica’s second feature. If a concrete story with a nice hard rocking soundtrack is what you’re looking for, you won’t find it here. With that said, Antal’s experience is an absolute must see for Metallica fans, giving them an unprecedented, up-close and personal look at a band who can still shred like no other.

When we caught up with Alice Braga at the Repo Men Junket in NYC last week, we couldn't help but talk a bit about the Robert Rodriguez produced, Nimród Antal directed Predators reboot. Braga talked a bit about her experiences on set, how dark the film gets and whether she thinks the film will go PG-13 or R. Has Predators wrapped? Yeah, we wrapped in the second week of January. How did that go, as an experience? It was great, it was really nice. A lot of running around, running for my life, as fast as I can. A great cast and crew and the photography, Gyula Pados is the photographer, is amazing. I think it's going to look really nice and the new Predators are dark. They are really,...

This Friday at South by Southwest in Austin, Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal will debut the first footage from "Predators," their updated take on the classic alien invasion horror franchise. The story takes place on the predators' home planet, as a group of humans — including Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne and Topher Grace — are hunted for sport by the alien baddies.
With just days to go until SXSW, MTV News had a chance to chat with co-star Alice Braga about her role, Brody's commitment to packing on muscle and the possibility that original franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger will make a cameo in the film.
MTV News: So some footage is about to debut in Austin. Have you seen any of it yet?
Alice Braga: I haven't seen. I saw it on set, some of the things. I'm really excited because it was a really cool project. We had a lot of fun on set.

Studio/Running Time: Paramount Vantage, 110 mins.
Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of Keira Knightley, treating her like some sort of thoroughbred athlete whose most productive years are right now. With the The Duchess, Knightley has now appeared in more than 20 films since her role as Amidala’s handmaiden in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. And like a fourth-quarter tailback, the more she runs, the better she gets as she convincingly demonstrates in The Duchess.

CANNES -- Shot at night in the stations and tunnels of the Budapest Metro, Nimrod Antal's hyperkinetic "Kontroll" exploits every fear of the underground with its live tracks, rattling carriages, narrow platforms and nighttime population of wackos, weirdos and the simply strange.
Add a hooded killer who likes to push passengers in front of hurtling subway trains and a rough-and-ready team of inspectors who look and behave more like football hooligans, and the probability of mayhem is high.
"Kontroll" is grungy and uneven, but it has a rollicking pace and clearly intends to be good fun so that audiences may overlook its unsteady rhythms, pretensions and inconsistencies and take it for the fast and very furious ride it wants to be.
The film opens with a tipsy blonde being thrust onto the tracks by a hooded killer as a train powers through. It appears to be the start of a conventional thriller, but among those assigned to keep the subway safe and make sure every passenger has bought a ticket are the enigmatic Bulcsu (Sandor Csanyi) and his ragged team of inspectors, who are on probation themselves for their erratic ways.
Bulcsu has become a creature of the underground, sleeping on the deserted platforms and never venturing "up there" where there's daylight. He's become legend, too, for competing in a stupidly dangerous race on the tracks, running after the last regular train. The goal is to make it to the next station ahead of the nonstop midnight express speeding along behind.
Antal has great fun with the highly combustible zoo of characters who ride the Budapest Metro after dark, and he and his team don't always come off best in their encounters. There's an exhilarating chase sequence with all five inspectors haring after a young daredevil, but this director takes no prisoners. Soon afterward, another pursuit of the same kid ends with an encounter with the hooded killer.
There also are lyrical moments as Bulcsu encounters a young woman dressed as a bear (Eszter Balla), and his kindness breaks through her initial disdain for the roughnecks of the subway. Her father is a man Bulcsu knows, a not-always-sober train driver named Bela (Lajos Kovacs) who is something of a subway philosopher and whose advice takes Bulcsu closer to finding a way back "up there."
The players are all appealing, especially Zoltan Musci as a droll elder statesman of inspectors and Csaba Pindroch as one whose enthusiasm is blighted by narcolepsy.
But it's the steel, dirt, shadows and noise of the underground that Antal loves. With great help from cinematographer Gyula Pados, production designer Balazs Hujber and editor Istvan Kiraly, plus the driving music of Neo, Antal brings it vividly to life. He makes it a surreal world where there's even a costume ball as the search for the killer reaches its climax with another chase on the tracks.
The film begins with a straight-faced disclaimer regarding the safety of the Budapest Public Transport Co., but after seeing this picture, many visitors to the Hungarian capital will most likely want to take a cab.

BUDAPEST -- After the Day Before, by director Attila Janisch, won the main prize Tuesday night at the closing of the 35th Hungarian Film Week, which concluded with the screening of The Battle of Mohacs, a comic film by veteran director Miklos Jansco. Janisch's film, the story of the inexplicable and brutal murder of a young girl in rural Hungary told through David Lynch-style disjointed fragments with a confused chronology, also won best actor for its previously little-known lead, Tibor Gaspar, and best cinematography for director of photography Gabor Medvigy -- an award shared with Gyula Pados, cinematographer of Nimrod Antal's Kontroll. After the Day Before's Kati Lazar, who plays a woman who helps the killer when he is knocked unconscious in a bicycle accident, picked up best supporting actress, an award given also for her role in Zsuzsa Boszormenyi's tale of a girl abandoned at birth, Melyen Orzott Titkok (Guarded Secrets).
