Review of The Rambler (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 10 Jun 2013

Dermot Mulroney's 'Man with No Name' drifter is all too appropriately at the centre of offbeat auteur Calvin Reeder's 'Film with No Point',…

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 31 May 2013

Luhrmann's current creative mindset reflects more PT Barnum than J Gatsby; a manipulative showman able to conjure images of light and colour…

Review of A Haunted House (1975)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 29 May 2013

Sporadically misogynistic, homophobic and grade-school puerile in equal measure, it is also not without the occasional laugh-out-loud moment…

Review of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 18 May 2013

Abrams works in scenes of friendship, honour, loss and loyalty, but the drama coasts on the emotional legacy of the series rather than creating…

Review of Chasing Ice (2012)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 24 Apr 2013

Less a didactic 'message-movie' than a study of one man's steely determination, the debut helmer directs with a sure hand and no-frills aesthetic…

Review of Iron Man 3 (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 24 Apr 2013

Review of Antiviral (2012)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 16 Apr 2013

As a piss-take of society's shallow fascination with Kardashian-like nobodies, Antiviral is coolly effective, but there's little insight into…

Review of Oblivion (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for Screen-Space (209) on 09 Apr 2013

It is just as well director Joseph Kosinski renders his vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth with such crisp acuity, because his story plays…

Review of Thale (2012)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 04 Apr 2013

There is a great deal of humour in the story; the message that 'man is the real savage' is not fresh but it's well played by the director and…

Review of Himmatwala (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 03 Apr 2013

As grotesque and garish a spectacle as I've seen in quite some time, this Hindi remake of a coarse and unremarkable hit comedy from 1983 is…

Review of Blue Like Jazz (2012)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 03 Apr 2013

Blue Like Jazz certainly breaks the mould in terms what audiences have come to expect from spiritual cinema, but it refuses to take the necessary…

Review of Crave (2013)

By Simon Foster (434) for sbs.com.au (697) on 03 Apr 2013

Putting aside the nagging sensation that you may have seen this type of character study before, Crave proves to be an impressive career-maker…

Review of The History of Future Folk (2012)
