Shame

January 12th, 2012 Author: Tom LinayTags: Carey Mulligan, cinema, DCM, Digital Cinema Media, film, Haywire, Michael Fassbender, Prometheus, Shame, Tom Linay

The upcoming film Shame signals Michael Fassbender’s arrival as one of the world’s greatest actors, joining the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis and Philip Seymour Hoffman. In the film, out tomorrow, Fassbender plays Brandon, a seemingly normal man, who’s professionally successful, lives an ordered, structured life and has an addiction to sexual gratification.

Few lead performances in recent years have been as fiercely committed as Fassbender is as Brandon. He puts everything, physically and emotionally, on display and exudes an intensity that few other actors working today can match. His co-star Carey Mulligan, is equally as impressive as Brandon’s fragile sibling Sissy. She has much less screen-time than Fassbender but she makes every moment count, particularly during a protracted, tightly framed rendition of New York, New York.

Make Sure Hugo See It!

November 24th, 2011 Author: Tom LinayTags: 3D, Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Chloe Grace Moretz, cinema, Digital Cinema Media, film, Hugo 3D, Jude Law, Movie, Sacha Baron Cohen

Billed as master director Martin Scorsese’s first family film, Hugo is a hugely affectionate love-letter to film and cinema history. Scorsese has always been known as an avid film historian and every ounce of his passion comes through to make a film that both moves and enchants.

Hugo is the story of 11 year-old orphan, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), who lives in a 1930s Paris train station, secretly maintaining the stations clocks and evading the clutches of the pompous station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen). Before his death, Hugo’s father (Jude Law) was repairing a mysterious mechanical automaton and Hugo takes on the task of finishing the job.
