Batman Audiences Baffled By Bane
Warner Bros is reported to be 'scared to death' after audiences claimed they couldn't understand the dialogue from the latest Batman villain, Bane, in The Dark Knight Rises.

Interview: Mr. Nobody writer and director Jaco Van Dormael
Jaco Van Dormael is the writer and director behind the science fiction drama film, Mr. Nobody, starring Jared Leto and Diane Kruger. We interview Jaco to ask about the film's concept, cast, and his cameo appearance... Mr. Nobody (read our review of Mr. Nobody here) is a film which explores the multiverse theory and the...
Mr. Nobody – DVD review
Mr. Nobody, starring Jared Leto and Diane Kruger is something of a rarity, in that even when you have little idea about what exactly is going on, it’s still very much enjoyable. It was one of my main criticisms of Christopher Nolan’s Inception – not enough people understood it. Yet for all its special effects, Inception lacked the...
Warner Bros. App Editions of Deathly Hallows and Due Date now available
You may remember that we recently mentioned App Editions being produced by Warner Bros. This unique take on purchasing films has now got two new titles for its library: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, and Due Date. From a geeky perspective, these App Editions are seriously cool. They have all the functionality of a collector's...
Snubbed talents presumably miffed at last night’s Oscars?
If I was one of the many actors, directors and other film-industry talents who wasn't even considered for an Academy Award this year despite my film being all over the rest of the list, I'd be upset. But who are they? There's a lot of debate on the topic at present, so soon after the awards ceremony itself, even in The Guardian - in the Friday...
Oscars – the awards that got ignored
The awards season finally came to a close last night at the 83rd Oscars. After weeks of speculation, there were no surprises, in fact if we hear The King's Speech mentioned one more time we'll scream. So, instead of boring you all with what you already know and who looked good on the red carpet (quickly though - yay! Natalie Portman), we thought...
Hesher trailer, starring Natalie Portman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The trailer has been released for Hesher, starring Natalie Portman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The film stars none other than Hollywood's current award-winning darling, ...
App Editions of Inception and The Dark Knight appear online
If you've always been a little frustrated about renting films off iTunes or LoveFilm and never getting the whole DVD-features shebang, then now's the time to celebrate. Warner Bros., being rather benevolent and fairly forward thinking, are releasing App Editions of two major releases, both works of Christopher Nolan - Inception and The Dark...
The BAFTAs – who won what
Awards season is now really in full swing but we have to say it's all rather predictable isn't it? Last night the Bafta's took place at London's Royal Opera House and surprise surprise The King's Speech came out on top. The film scooped seven awards in total, including Leading Actor for Colin Firth, Supporting Actor for Geoffrey Rush...
Firth and Portman take the gold at the SAG awards
The 2011 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards last night marked another step on the road to the Academy Awards - but shone their spotlight on the films we're used to seeing awards for by now - Black Swan, The King's Speech, et. al. For those of you who can't physically sit still until the 83rd Academy Awards get here (though here at TFR we're...
Oscar and Razzie nominations announced
With the award season finally upon us, our two favourite nomination lists have been released- the Oscars and the Razzies. We'll start with the Oscars, which lets be honest, have been hugely predictable. You guessed it, The King's Speech took away a fair few nominations, 12 in fact, including Best Picture and Best Actor. True Grit, which...
The Best Films of 2010
As the year comes to a close, we look back at the year in films. There have been some amazing films (Black Swan) and then some really terrible ones (Skyline). One thing is for sure, it has been a great year for Brit actors such as Carey Mulligan and Colin Firth. We've picked our favourite films of 2010. Let us know what you think and tell us if...
Golden Globe nominations: the full list
Awards season is nearly upon us and yesterday the 2011 Golden Globe nominations were announced. Actors Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes and Blair Underwood had the job of announcing who was up for what. The King's Speech, which has already won awards at BIFA, left as a clear front runner, along with The Social Network and Black Swan. Rather...
Oscars VFX semifinalists announced
If you're a big fan of explosions, aliens, monsters and CGI tidbits in the wonderful world of cinema, 15 films are now aiming to grab the final spots for the VFX Oscar. Recently, we've had a bit of a rush in terms of visual effects. The advent of 3D films has seen all-CGI films like Avatar and Toy Story 3 rocket into the stratosphere, and...

Edgar Hoover, played by DiCaprio, was the...
The Snow White saga gets wicked
Mirror Mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest one of all? When it comes to the latest adaptation of Snow White, this is the question on everyone’s lips. It was revealed this week that man of the moment Tom Hardy not only got the lead in Mad Max: Fury Road , but he is due to play the huntsman in action-adventure film Snow White and...
Inception: brilliant or baffling?
For all the hype surrounding Christopher Nolan's latest film, Inception, I found myself leaving the cinema feeling somewhat bemused. In an attempt to appear a little less clueless, I inevitably began eavesdropping on snippets of conversation from other audience members - was their mission successful? Are we all living in a dream? And, most...

Leo DiCaprio smoulders at Inception UK première
Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio still has what it takes to make the ladies go wild, judging by the pictures of the hysteria at last night's Inception UK première.
