The Newsroom Review: “News Night 2.0” (Season 1, Episode 2)

Last week, Aaron Sorkin's news desk drama The Newsroom premiered to a mixed reception. Some elements of the show were a triumph (the casting of Jeff Daniels, brilliant sets, occasional piece of funny dialogue) and others were a total washout (political grandstanding). Many hoped that the second episode would iron out some of the problems, or at least begin to amend them so we get a more honed and understated show as we go through more and more episodes. Now that it's aired, did the show's second outing deliver? Read on to find out.

Killer Joe Review

Killer Joe will both infuriate and impress, but when it impresses there is nothing quite like it. It plays on the senses and lingers in the mind, McConaughey is brilliant and Friedkin finds himself in his best form in years.

Why We’ll Miss Steven Soderbergh

The release of male flesh extravaganza Magic Mike means we are inching ever closer to director Steven Soderbergh's fast approaching retirement/sabbatical. It has been a weird couple of years for the filmmaker, as he discussed wanting to leave his chosen profession behind, before reneging on the decision. Recently, though, he changed his mind again and said that he was only taking a break from the industry, to recharge his batteries and to get excited about directing again.

Martin Scorsese Goes Digital For The Wolf Of Wall Street

We're about to see a massive change to the face of cinema.

The legendary filmmaker has chosen the digital format for his new film: The Wolf of Wall Street, but he won't be going 3D.

Stunning New Trailer For Rian Johnson’s Looper

Summer isn't shaping up to be all that special.

Today a new trailer for Rian Johnson's time travel thriller Looper has been released and it looks to be shaping up as a possible highlight of the year.
