He didn't need dialogue! He had his face!
Edward Copeland on Film &bull Today
By Edward Copeland Writing a review of The Artist has proved unusually difficult for me. I watched the film for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it charming enough but - and perhaps it's appropriate - I was at a loss for words. Not because the movie bowled me over so much that I was awestruck, I just felt that either I was missing something or the film was. I decided to watch The Artist a second time to try and determine what gnawed at me. On the off chance you haven't heard about The Artist… Full Story »

Cano Dorado (Region 2)
DVD Verdict &bull Yesterday
Like most people, I am occasionally guilty of judging a book-or in this case, a DVD-by its cover. So when Cano dorado arrived unexpectedly in the mail, I had little hope this Argentinian crime thriller would be anything more than 110-minutes of boredom. The accompanying press release contained a plot synopsis that was hardly inspiring, and the cover art-so frequently a poor indicator of a film's quality-was remarkably lackluster. However, my perception changed dramatically, the moment I fired up the… Full Story »

5 Changes That Would Improve J.J. Abrams' Star Trek 2
Obsessed With Film &bull Yesterday
Let me start off by saying something that may make some of you spit your drink at the screen butI don't like JJ Abrams. I didn't like Lost, Fringe or any of the films that have had his name on the poster. I could go into detail why but that is for another article. So when it was announced that he was taking the helm of the Star Trek franchise, my initial reaction was to break into a cold sweat and hyperventilate. Ive always been a huge fan of Star Trek and to read that JJ Abrams (who quite openly… Full Story »

Blu-ray Review: 'The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence' Grows Exceedingly Tedious
Hollywood Chicago &bull Yesterday
CHICAGO - With this sequel to his 2009 cult hit, filmmaker Tom Six appears to have finally mistaken stomach-churning exploitation for nightmare-inducing terror. No quality scares could possibly be produced by this hollow enterprise, only nauseated groans. The first flick was diverting B-movie schlock. This is just a tedious and obnoxiously tasteless retread. The action opens on a dangerously disturbed security guard, Martin (played by newcomer Laurence R. Harvey), who spends most of the workday whacking innocent bystanders over the head with… Full Story »

'If a film requires me to run naked on the street, I will'
Rediff India &bull Yesterday
He talks to Sonil Dedhia about his relationship with his Jodi Breakers co-star Bipasha Basu, and why he will do anything on screen if his role calls for it. It's a great thing that before the release of the film, people are making us out to be jodi breakers. That means our publicity is hitting the right note. I enjoyed playing the character of a jodi breaker because it is completely different. Bipasha's character and mine offer innovative ideas about how to end relationships that are not working. I have advised a lot of my friends but I am more… Full Story »
