Movie Review: Things We Lost in the Fire
Reel Weekend | 01 February 2008
Susanne Bier's Things We Lost in the Fire once again provides Halle Berry with a proper meaty dramatic role. In this sombre grief-fest, Halle plays a recently widowed woman who strikes up an unusual relationship with a friend of her late husband, a recovering drug addict played by Benicio Del Toro. It doesn't make for a particularly cheery night out, but it is an impressively serious look at loss and redemption.

3:10 to Yuma is a remake of the 1957 Glenn Ford classic, and stars Christian Bale as a simple farmer who takes the job of escorting notorious villain Russell Crowe to a railway station to await the train of the title. While Jesse James and Seraphim Falls were slow, dark, arty westerns, this film is cast in a more traditional mould. There's a clear-cut good guy and bad guy, a pretty wife who begs her man not to take the job, lots of grizzled men spitting in the dirt and a big climactic gun fight.

After a five-year break from directing, Matrix directors Andy and Larry Wachowski return to the big screen with their colourful interpretation of classic kids' cartoon Speed Racer. The neon colours and cartoon-inspired visuals definitely won't be to all tastes, but the film looks set to deliver hugely ambitious use of green screen and CGI racing scenes in order to tell the tale of one boy and his car.

The Kills – 'Cheap and Cheerful'
Music Videos | 30 January 2008
The video for The Kills' new single 'Cheap And Cheerful', released on Domino on 3 March, is a fast-paced two-and-a-half minutes of blonde wigs, red lips and Warhol-inspired graphics, set to a grimy blend of guitars and punchy electro beats. For this track, which is the second from the band's forthcoming third album Midnight Boom, they drafted in Spank Rock's producer Alex Epton, aka Armani XXXchange.

Lost creator JJ Abrams brings his latest mystery to the big screen with this science-fiction movie surrounded in secrecy. We may not know much about it, but it does seem to include people screaming, some kind of monster from outer space and New York dramatically exploding. In this exclusive extended clip we get a glimpse of the approaching threat to New York and some rather nifty full-scale destruction.
CNET TV: LIVE | 25 January 2008
Former Test Icicle Devonte Hynes, now going under the name of Lightspeed Champion, dropped by CNET TV headquarters this week and treated us to four tracks from his new album, Falling Off the Lavender Bridge. Radically different to the sound of his earlier band, Lightspeed's sound is a wonderful mix of indie rock and country folk influences that should keep fans of Bright Eyes, Will Oldham and Bill Callahan happy until the cows come home.
Movie Review: Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Reel Weekend | 25 January 2008
Tim Burton is no stranger to dark gothic fantasy, neither is he shy about putting his favorite actor Johnny Depp in a lead role. Sweeney Todd is the first time, however, that Burton has matched his flair for the visual with a classic stage musical. In adapting Stephen Sondheim's Broadway classic Burton weaves his usual visual magic to tell the tale of The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, who's lust for revenge on those who've wronged him takes the shape of a very close shave and some very special pies.
Movie Review: In the Valley of Elah
Reel Weekend | 25 January 2008
Crash director Paul Haggis is on the hunt for Oscar with this attempt to address the war in Iraq, and more specifically the effect of that war on its soldiers and their families. Tommy Lee Jones is the father investigating the mysterious death of his soldier son and while it sounds like an oh-so-serious attempt at issue cinema, we reckon that it's worth seeing for one reason alone: the tremendous performance by Tommy Lee Jones.
