Patrick Swayze lost his two year battle with pancreatic cancer last night, passing away "peacefully" whilst surrounded by his family at his home in Houston. He was 57.

As most have attested, there was two Patrick Swayze's, both equally as compelling as the other. In my personal experience - there was the Swayze my mum fell in love with, the lean built and tough guy dancing instructor Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing or the murdered Sam Wheat in Ghost, who just wanted to communicate with his lover from the grave.

For me, Swayze will always be the cover guy of the two VHS movies that were always on the top of my mum's video pile next to our old t.v. I always fondly remember a bus journey to Spain in 1992 when Ghost screened on the coach ride, and I remember her in floods of tears.

Then there's the one I enjoyed from Road House, Point Break and Red Dawn. A man's man, the often no-nonsense taking Swayze, the coolest guy on screen for a big run in the 80's. He kind of took over where John Travolta left off, bursting onto the scene when Travolta started to fade in 1983. His first ...]]></description>

Quentin Tarantino keeps hinting that once he has given up directing he will become a writer, not just of epic character-driven, narrative-bending novels but also of film criticism. I imagine that one day we will see him host his own kind of Siskel &#38; Ebert sydincated movie talk show. 

And he would be damn good at it too. Right now, I'm putting my hat in the ring to be the co-host of Holmes &#38; Tarantino: At The Movies!

As part of a Sky Movies "take over" that Quentin did to promote Inglourious Basterds last month, the always game director filmed an introduction/analysis of eight films he wanted to screen for the channel, the most passionate being his take on Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi offering Sunshine. 



His review is 1000000% accurate and I agree with every damn word of it. Even to what he calls "a betrayal" of a third act which in my original review, I opted to use the word "sickening" instead.


From my 08.04.07 review...
There is a moment 2/3rd's into the film, where you are completely in the hands of the storytelling masters and the tale they have crafted when BOOM... like the thundering Titanic after it hit the iceberg, the movie ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only Christopher Nolan could keep the plot for a $180-200 million Warner Bros. summer blockbuster a secret but he has done an admirable job so far and even though I'm desperate to know what "the architecture of the mind" is all about, the truth is the less I know come next July, the better the experience for me. 

Of course when a picture cost as much as to make as this one has, simply putting up the tag "from the director of The Dark Knight" and slapping Leonardo DiCaprio's picture on the poster isn't going to be enough, so Warners will no doubt make sure every man, woman and child is bombarded with knowing just exactly what the movie is about when 2010 rolls around. 

Here's The Matrix esque, really dark and threatening trailer (loved the shot he has re-tooled from The Dark Knight, a shaky cam shot whilst a guy is being dragged away) which is such a tease. I think it's scored to a remix of the Joker theme...

I was ready to crap all over Youth in Revolt, a Dimension Films R-Rated comedy opening Oct. 30th (no U.K. release yet) starring Michael Cera once again as a socially awkward/uncomfortable hapless teenager who is desperate to get laid (though I'm sure his characters would settle for a bit of foreplay) performance but once this trailer gets going man, this is one dark picture - where the only ending foreseable is a nasty one.

A Taxi Driver/Observe &#38; Report kind of ending. Do I hope too much?

In the movie Cera plays Nick Twisp, a guy who falls for a girl who doesn't want a relationship with him, so he decides to "create a supplementary persona named Francois Dillinger. Bold, contemptuous of authority. And irresistible to women!". 



Cera plays it a little differently than usual. It's the closest we have seen him touch the dark side and I'm sure this was a blast for him to film. After the Tyler Durden/Fight Club twist, things seem to get real interesting and though it's packed full of supporting roles and cameo's from fellow comedic thesps (Zack Galifianakis, Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Jean Smart, Ray Liotta) which can get tiresome in this kind of picture, I think Cera might pull this one through.

Seriously, my favourite American sitcom in the history of American sitcoms. Probably because it feels the most British.

Everyday annoyances and the in-ability to connect with others, and be understanding to their views is something that I, as a British guy can relate too. And boy, how annoying is this when it happens to you. I think it once took me 30 minutes to open something I bought for my old Xbox once...

		<description><![CDATA[Sky Movies asked Quentin Tarantino for his top 20 movies post-1992, the year of Reservoir Dogs' release and the result is the kind of varied list of genres and filmic cultures as you would have expected from him.

Raised eyebrows for a few which I couldn't possibly let slide... Woody Allen's Anything Else (the one with Jason Biggs) and Team America: World Police somehow made it, alongside Police Story 3 - but it's a personal list after all. 

He even finds time to bitch-slap The Matrix sequels (which has ruined the experience for him of watching the original, and I would agree) and wins uber-respect by calling Unbreakable "one of the masterpieces of our time". I've said it for years damnit!

Before there was Judd Apatow, Wes Anderson, Kevin Smith and Richard Linklater - there was John Hughes. He was the voice of the 80's generation, no doubt.

Sure James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg and their technical innovations and imagination for the grandeur side of entertainment, forever changed how movies were made with their output in the 80's, but in terms of funny, relatable and just plain rewarding comedy - Hughes had no equal.

In a 10 year spell almost everything he struck was gold. Man, the images from these movies, the memories, the emotions, the music, the characters - what a legacy....
FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, THE BREAKFAST CLUB, SIXTEEN CANDLES, WEIRD SCIENCE, PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES, UNCLE BUCK, PRETTY IN PINK, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION, THE GREAT OUTDOORS, DUTCH and HOME ALONE.
Hughes died of a heart attack today whilst taking a walk in New York. This won't be the last tribute to Hughes on this website.

Two of Quentin Tarantino's favourite films, the two which are firmly rigid on any top ten list he scribes over the years, are the three character Westerns; Rio Bravo, and Serigo Leone's The Good, The Bad &#38; The Ugly. Some pet favourites come and go but those two never change.

With Tarantino's love for re-creating moments, genres and the themes he adores from other movies, you had to believe that sooner rather than later the post-modern director was going to make a film that would celebrate the Western genre.

Speaking to Empire outside of the U.K. Premiere of his new movie Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino mentioned that after "flirting" with the genre for so long, he most definitely still "wants to do a Western" but warns us before we get too excited that he doesn't "even know [what his] next movie's gonna be". ...

So it's not a firm confirmation, just another hint that Tarantino wants to make a cowboy film at some stage. Maybe it will be his next film, maybe it won't. After the jump I talk a little about the Western influences on Tarantino's work and how I think a Tarantino Western might turn out...

		<description><![CDATA[Usually when a film criticism outlet runs a Top 100 list, it's a sign of a desperation grab for new readers during a slow editorial month. So by golly, how slow must June have been for Empire to run a 1001 Greatest Movie Moments Feature in their latest issue?

Whenever Obsessed With Film runs a Top 100 or Top 1000 anything, be sure to throw these words back into my face and bring me up on this issue. 

Anyway, according to the list, Cary Grant rigidly running, from the shootings of a crop duster in the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic North by Northwest, probably the first bit of exercise he got in any of his movies up until that point is the greatest movie moment of all time. I don't know who compiled the list, but they deserve some kudos for A) a pretty damn good choice and B) for telling us the moment occurs at exactly 01:08:44. 



In my now defunct Greatest Movie Scenes feature, it took me only five weeks until I got around to placing it in my feature. 

Empire say...
"Even Hitchcock knew the scene made no sense at all. After all, if you've lured your quarry all the way to a lonely bus ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I didn't expect the adaptation of Kurt Eichenwald's nonfiction bestseller about a guy who spilled the beans on a price-fixing scandal at a grain processing conglomerate to actually be a comedy - but that's exactly what Steven Soderbergh has cooked up right here by the looks of this trailer for The Informant, opening in October (Nov U.K.), but everyone expects it to play at the Toronto Film Festival. 



Mind you, that's the "Ocean's" Steven Soderbergh as referenced by the Warner Bros. marketing team, which immeaditely sours my interest because I'm much more of a fan of the Traffic/Che/The Girlfriend Experience variety of Soderbergh. Speaking of which can any director seriously make as many movies as he; this will technically be his fourth movie in 12 months.

A fatter, aging, kind of Russell Crowe in The Insider version of Matt Damon, in his first movie since summer 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum stars as the whistle blower Mark Whitacre, with a very welcomed return to the big screen from Scott Bakula who supports. 

Looks kind of Burn After Reading-esque, and any trailer ballsy enough to use The Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" in it's trailer, deserves at least a mention.  ]]></description>

“I rob banks for a living. What do you do?”
John Milius’ Dillinger (1973) is not the way it was - just the way it should have been. Bullets and broads, sharp suits and fast cars, men outside the law and desperate G-Men hot on their tale. This isn’t the true story of John Dillinger, this is the legend. And it rips at your heart like a Tommy gun spittin’ out lead.

Fans of Milius’ later work shouldn’t be surprised. After all this was the director who gave us the blood and thunder of Conan the Barbarian (1982) and the writer who penned both Dirty Harry’s “Do you feel lucky, punk,” and Quint’s macabre tale of the Indianapolis in Jaws (1974). Already we can see a filmmaker obsessed ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Public Enemies, action auteur Michael Mann’s latest, is set to revive interest in John Dillinger following its premiere in Chicago next Thursday. From what has been seen of it so far the movie promises to be a gem, but it’s hardly charting new cinematic territory. OWF thought it might be a good idea to put the picture into perspective by casting a glance upon previous cinematic takes on the Depression era’s most famous stick-up man.



By the time John Dillinger met his maker outside a Chicago cinema in 1934 it must have been clear to all and sundry that he was on track to become a future icon of the silver screen. The grandiloquence of his criminal exploits made it virtually impossible for Hollywood to ignore him. All that remained to be decided was the slant of the forthcoming portrayals. Would Dillinger be shown as a Robin Hood figure or as a rogue raider with a violent thirst for other people’s money?

The very first movie to deal with the Indianapolis-born bandit was a B-flick named Dillinger, directed by the now obscure Max Nossek and released in 1945. Nossek clearly had no doubt which take on the Dillinger myth he was going ...]]></description>

A couple of months ago, I was fortunate enough to see an unfinished cut of Sam Raimi’s glorious return to the horror genre, Drag Me To Hell. This week saw Sam Raimi and his two lead actors Alison Lohman and Justin Long on whirlwind promotional duties in London.

On a rainy Bank Holiday morning, I went along to a central London locale to have a quick chat with the great director himself and his actors.

		<description><![CDATA[The world is full of critics. Grumpy, negative, and generally sour critics. Ask anyone who has ever faced the sting of a critic's words, and they'll tell you it hurts.

They'll also tell you that most critics are talentless nobodies who have never attempted to do anything themselves. Instead, they'll say, a critic merely sits back and judges the efforts of others rather than create their own art.

It's a fair call. The internet is filled with fanboys and wannabee critics who piss and moan over the efforts of those with actual entertainment jobs. Of course, most of those people collectively have less creativity than the ball sweat of a schizophrenic homeless man, but that's beside the point. The fact is that these people are trying to create something to entertain millions of people ... and critics do nothing but bitch.

That's why I'm interested in making my own films. Not content with bitching about Hollywood, I feel I should be willing to, in the spirit of that old cliche, put my money where my mouth is and try it for myself.

So, without further ado, here is a short film I made with several friends for a short film competition. We only had ...]]></description>

Tonight, two of my heroes on stage together, before my very own eyes. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, Professor X and Magneto. 

I bought the tickets not knowing or even caring what the play Waiting for Godot was about. What does it matter really?



The production is the first time the two much compared great friends have worked on stage together since 1977. They of course starred together in X-Men, but seeing them both perform on stage, live, well I just can't wait. 

I'm a huge Star Trek fan, the person I'm seeing it with is a huge Lord of the Rings fan. And we both like X-Men, so this couldn't have been more perfect.

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst the role of Freddy Krueger in Platinum Dunes' Nightmare on Elm Street remake was still vacant, weeks before the eventual casting of Jackie Earle Haley, writer/actor/director Christopher Johnson took it upon himself to try and put his name in the frame for the part. 



In what is becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon, Johnson went out with his own crew, his own time and money to put together a teaser trailer for a Nightmare on Elm Street movie which featured himself in the starring role. He is a big fan of Krueger, clearly, and probably thought it would come to nothing but he had to give it a go, right?

The result is today's Daily Vid, a mega impressive fan made production which is probably better than 8 out of 10 studio made horror trailers we see released every year. Although bizarrely for someone trying to lobby himself for the Freddy part, he constantly shys away from showing too much of himself, which actually showcases his talents as a film-maker in better light, because it's damn effective.


Great job... and it may not have won you Freddy but it might win you something else down the road. Regardless, it's a fantastic piece of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 1996, fresh off the groundbreaking success of his independent movie Clerks, young writer/director and New Jersey comic book owner Kevin Smith was approached by Warner Bros. to advise them on the studio's biggest in development project;  a resurrection of the Superman franchise which had laid lament for ten years because of the poor reception to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.



Warner Bros. had taken interest in Smith after his critically lauded draft for Chasing Amy, revolving around two comic book creators got into their hands and they, probably justifiably so, thought his opinion had useful value.

Smith told them in no uncertain terms that Gregory Poirier's script was "terrible" and that he "didn't get the Superman mythos" which worried Warner Bros. greatly. Not wanting to put their mult-million dollar franchise into the wrong hands and seeing Smith as a huge comic book fan, and the speaker of the audience they were hoping to reach out too, he was soon given the job to write a screenplay of his own.

Today's Daily Vid is Kevin Smith's hilarious re-telling of his time with Superman producer Jon Peters and how his Superman Lives, was doomed to fail from day one. The vid was taken from ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watching The Rules of Attraction, you feel the urge to hunt these young adults down, knock the perfect teeth out of their fresh young faces and allow them all to sleep with each other in a mass, drunken and coke filled orgy, so they can finally get over their hangs up of who is sleeping with who because the question will then, finally become irrelvant. They are all doing it with each other and none of it means a thing.
For such a despicable movie, I've always actually kind of liked it, in a weird way. Go figure, huh? But I guess you don't particularly have to like any of the characters to enjoy a movie. The same can be said about Brett Easton Ellis' previously adapted novel American Psycho, try and find a sympathetic character there right?
But I've always been fond of one scene in particular which delievers on a pure visceral joy and vitality level showing brass confidence from director Roger Avary who fills his some of the best blending of music and character that I think I've seen.



The great scene in question is the split screen waking up of Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) and Peter (James Van Der Beek) ...]]></description>
