FILM REVIEWS

KILLER ELITE

The Feather Men Get Heavy

Directed by Gary McKendry
Starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen, Robert De Niro and Firass Dirani


Killer Elite opens with the disclaimer that the story you are about to see is real. It’s 1980 and the war in the Middle-East threatens oil reserves and the world economic crisis worsens.

EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE

Life is Beautiful Again

Directed by Stephen Daldry
Starring Thomas Horn, Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock


From the director of The Hours and Billy Elliot comes a remarkable film dealing with the small and tragic repercussions of an outrageous and grand scale catastrophe.

CONTRABAND

Contrabad

Directed by Baltasar Kormákur
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Beckinsale


Contraband is an odd film. Not odd in a David Lynch sort of way, but just odd in general.

THE VOW

Forget Me Not

Directed by Michael Sucsy
Starring Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams, Sam Neill

A romantic drama released near Valentine’s Day generally means that audiences are in for some seriously mushy stuff. Add to this a storyline which is kind of like 50 First Dates - but without the laughs - and you’ll have a movie that thousands upon thousands of unsuspecting boyfriends will be dragged along to see.

SHAME

The Naked Truth

Directed by Steve McQueen
Starring Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, Nicole Beharie


Michael Fassbender’s pretty much the most interesting actor currently working, as the quality of the filmmakers keen to work with him can attest to.

CHRONICLE

Moving On Up

Directed by Josh Trank
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Michael Kelly, Alex Russell, Ashley Hinshaw


Found footage films are nothing special these days. From Blair Witch Project to Cloverfield, the idea of putting the camera itself inside the story of the film is nothing original. Superhero movies are also nothing special, as superpowers have become a staple in recent years.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR BEN?

Just A Couple

Directed by Rob Sitch
Starring Josh Lawson, Rachael Taylor, Daniel Henshall, Felicity Ward


It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade since the Working Dog team last produced a movie, so it’s unfortunate that the team behind such long-standing gems as The Castle and Frontline long awaited full length is a hit and miss affair.

NEWS

CALIFORNIA DREAMING

It seems that California is a pretty chilled place. There have been enough bands, trends and cultures to come out of there just to prove that; and Wavves is no exception. The San Diego natives’ charismatic sound and cheeky lyrics embody everything we have come to expect from sunny state. The boys came to our shores for the first time last year and it seems like they can’t get enough because they are back this year showcasing their two albums King of the Beach and Life Sux. Luckily, fans will have the opportunity to catch their blissed beats not once but twice this year with the recent announcement of a solo sideshow at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday, May 18, in addition to their show at the Groovin’ the Moo festival in Bunbury on Saturday, May 19. Tickets the show at the Rosemont Hotel are available from Heatseeker and tickets to the Groovin’ The Moo are available from Oztix and gtm.net.au.
