In this article, we will try to familiarize you with some of the best Aussie movies that are out there right now, all of them are truly worth a watch! Mad Max (1979) Mad Max is set in a dystopian future where humanity has extracted all it could from our Earth’s resources and created nothing but a desert full of sand. Essentially it’s a movie of how life could become if we don’t take care of our planet and turn it into a wasteland....
Berlin has always been third in line and it seems like it will stay that way for the time being. For decades, the obvious answer would be Cannes, but, ever since Alberto Barbera took over the reigns of the Venice Film Festival, the rivalry has heated up. Why? Well, quite simply, because of a single evening in March. The Venice Film Festival has turned into a major launch pad for the Oscars....
Enrique Gonzalez Kuhn, CEO of Spanish distributor Caramel Films, has also told ScreenDaily today that “Tenet will be [released] on August 27, that’s for sure… I think [Warner Bros] will release in Asia and Europe and maybe the US and other countries later.” A separate source told the UK-based trade that Warner Bros is set to announce plans to release the film in the UK and Europe “toward the end of August” with a US release planned for September, possibly around Labor Day weekend....
I can’t judge a movie just by its trailer, and “Aladdin” surely has a bad trailer, so I’m not ready to say it’s going to be a bad movie, but just looking at the movie schedule for May, box-office prospects don’t look promising. People choose carefully their movies, mainstream moviegoers aren’t like us, they don’t try to keep up with EVERYTHING. They carefully plan their movie watching according to budget....
An impressive list of French talent. All four actors have been nominated for Cesars (the French Oscars) — Zylberstein actually won the award for 2008’s “I’ve Loved You So Long.” They join the already-added Valerie Lemercier, a three-time Cesar-winning actress. [via Elsa Keslassy] I can also confirm that DP Vittorio Storaro will be returning for his fifth collaboration with Allen. Their films together look absolutely sumptuous. Storaro is one of the great cinematographers in cinema history and I absolutely love how he is consistently working with Allen now....
Arcade said in a statement: “The book is a candid and comprehensive personal account by Woody Allen of his life, ranging from his childhood in Brooklyn through his acclaimed career in film, theater, television, print and standup comedy, as well as exploring his relationships with family and friends.” According to the AP, in the book, Allen accuses ex-wife Mia Farrow of an “Ahab-like quest” for revenge against him. Allen writes, “I never laid a finger on Dylan, never did anything to her that could be even misconstrued as abusing her; it was a total fabrication from start to finish....
The 86-year-old American director confirmed to Le Journal du Dimanche that he is “moving to Paris in September” to shoot his 50th feature film. “It may be the last one,” he added. The two-year-old project, postponed because of Covid-19, will be a two month shoot. “Surprisingly, funding for the film came from the United States, but the already-chosen cast is entirely French and the film will be shot in French”, he told JDD....
Xavier Dolan has been a polarizing figure for many cinephiles over the last 10 years. After surprising the film world, in his mid-20s to boot, with the critically-acclaimed “Laurence Anyways,” “Mommy,” and “Tom at the Farm,” the way Dolan has concocted his movies ever since has been polarizing at best, with critics universally panning them. So, when did the artistic freefall begin? It all started with 2016’s “It’s Only the End of the World,” a film that won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes....
Directed by Noe, Irreversible is such an incendiary statement that even the strong-stomached might not be able to fully watch it. Roger Ebert once said that it was “a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable.” The movie features a graphic, single-take nine and a half minute rape scene, featuring Italian superstar Monica Bellucci, that had people enraged at Noe. It wasn’t just the rape scene, but other violent acts that were depicted as well....
His latest film, which was shot in San Sebastian, Spain, is titled “Rifkin’s Festival” and stars Christoph Waltz, Gina Gershon, Wallace Shawn, Elena Anaya, Louis Garrel, and Sergi Lopez. Tripictures has picked up the film for a fall release in Spain, and it is also now set to premiere at the San Sebastián Film Festival on September 18th as the opening night film of that event [via Variety]. Woody was last seen at the fest in 2004 when he accepted a lifetime achievement award there and also premiered “Melinda and Melinda....
The story of Franz Jagerstatter (August Diehl), the Austrian farmer who refused to fight for the Germans during World War II, is a fascinating one, but Malick decides to self-indulge yet again. Clocking in at close to three hours, the film is an hour too long with a very weak middle section. Someone really needs to tell Malick to hire an actual editor. The film takes place between 1940 and 1943, the Third Reich’s reign all but sealed, with Jagerstatter eventually sent to a military prison, where his fate would be death....
Mads Mikkelsen stars in the film, alongside Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, and Magnus Millang. “Another Round” is directed by Vinterberg, based on a script he co-wrote with fellow director Tobias Lindholm. Vinterberg is known for two films which went on to garner critical-acclaim (“The Celebration,” “The Hunt”), but, when taking a peek at his filmography, it’s quite surprising to see that the Danish director has actually helmed 9 movies so far in his career, many of which did not break out commercially and were, in fact, critically panned by critics....
“Arctic Dogs” was aiming for a $5-10 million opening this weekend at the box office. Well then, too bad the “film earned an estimated $3.1 million from 2,844 theaters. The previous worst-performing film in 2,800+ theaters was the Warner Bros. film “Father Figures,” which opened with $3.2 million in 2017.” I checked Fandango, and it’s playing at a dozen theaters around my area. And yet, I haven’t seen a poster, trailer, tv spot, nothing....
As seen in the trailer for “Bliss,” the film has Owen Wilson having recurring deja vu moments, dreams about a mysterious woman that he has never met before. However, when he does come across her at a bar, he starts to wonder what’s really going on. You see, the world he’s experiencing just a mirage created via the simulation technology she has created. And over the course of the film, Wilson’s character has to figure out what’s real, and what’s fake?...
The reigning champ for pandemic-era openings, “A Quiet Place Part II,” fell 59 percent in its second week in theatres. A disappointing, but not unexpected tumble. At #3, Disney’s “Cruella,” which might end up making a total of $75 million domestically when all is said and done. Not the numbers Disney wanted. In all, the box-office was down 42 percent when compared to the first June weekend of 2019. There is a lot of work to be done for normalcy to creep back into moviegoing — maybe in the fall or, even, sadly, maybe next year....
Written by Scott Z. Burns, “Contagion” features an ensemble that includes Marion Cotillard, Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, and Jennifer Ehle. The film, which reunited Soderbergh with his long-time screenwriting partner Burns, was a thought-provoking and tense medical thriller that explored not only the seriousness of a worldwide epidemic but also the urgent response from the scientific community to find a vaccine. It’s an undeniably frightening movie, especially when seen today, which opens with a woman (Paltrow) on a Hong Kong business trip who has a layover in Chicago before returning home to Minneapolis, catching a mystery virus during her trip, only to have her symptoms fatally worsen and spread....
Yes, this is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is currently in the works and that McGregor will star as the adult version Danny Torrence. Torrence, if you remember, was the kid that kept uttering REDRUM and that had daddy chasing him all over the maze-like hotel with an ax (check out that on-the-nose Shining-esque poster below).McGregor got the role over Chris Evans, Matt Smith, and Jeremy Renner. The film is a Warner Bros....
It’s been six years since Fincher released his last feature, “Gone Girl.” The wait for a new film by the venerable director is finally over, as Fincher is about to release “Mank,” the forthcoming Netflix feature about “Citizen Kane” co-screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz. Gary Oldman is set to play the legendary screenwriter. On a recent appearance in the Pardon My Take podcast, “Mank” screenwriter Eric Roth confirmed that Fincher’s film will be released in October, adding that the director has “made a black and white ‘30s movie, it’s really incredible to see what he’s done....

“The second some human gives artificial intelligence and sentience to a robot, we’re all doomed,” Charles Barfield aptly mentioned over at The Playlist. The likes of “The Terminator,” “I, Robot,” and “Prometheus” are just a few examples. If you’ve seen those movies then “I Am Mother” won’t feel fresh or new. Except for, of course, its decision to have a female lead (Hilary Swank) be the heroine of this story....
