Ah the Oscar; there are a ton of actors who don’t prioritise this award and are in it for the love of the game. But surely it sits there at the back of their mind. Surely they must think now and again; “God, it would be nice to have one”. And there are some actors who get nominated/give amazing performances time and time again and audiences scream when they don’t make it to the stage. I’ve been in that position where I was filled with rage when someone misses out. But let’s face it: There are some actors who, no matter whether they want them or not, they’ll get on just fine without one.  by Paul Costello & Robbie Jones
It's Valentines Day and what better way to celebrate than watching everyone's favourite romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love. Except there are many people who don't. Here, our film writers Paul and Robbie battle it out, which side would you take?  by Robbie Jones
This past weekend, the world said goodbye to Philip Seymour Hoffman, easily one of the most talented actors to grace the screen in the past 20 years. To honour his memory, here is a list of some essential films from the big guy, who grabbed 4 Oscar nominations and one win in his career. Now, Hoffman starred in such a variety of films that it’s hard to narrow it down to a few. Amongst his greats, there are other fantastic films such as The Ides of March, Mission: Impossible 3, Punch-Drunk Love, Moneyball and Almost Famous. And then there a few which I have myself haven’t seen but are certainly worth checking out, including Doubt, The Master and Capote, the film that bagged him his Best Actor Oscar  by Paul Costello
Experiment 626 (which may, or may not be Stitch's real name) is an event embarked on by the I'm With Geek Film Team. Film knowledge was unearthed, truths were found and a DVD exchange took place. These are the true life stories from that experiment... For Paul from Robbie I picked Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Paul strikes me as the kind of guy who enjoys a crime drama, especially with his choices of Brick and Rope, and this film is a masterpiece of the genre. On top of that, the film is packed with tense scenes that are bound to keep him engaged (Going by the likes of his other films) and some immensely good acting, something he seems to know when he sees it (I'm not sure if that's any good but hey ho)  by Robbie Jones
The plot of a film is one of the key things in deciding whether you watch it or not. If it sounds daft and ridiculous, then you’ll leave it alone. But if it sounds interesting, or hilarious, or romantic, or dramatic etc. Then you’re sold. Some films have fantastic concepts and certainly deliver on them – Films like Inception, Jurassic Park and Looper all sound great on paper and when put to film, it’s even better. But sometimes, a plot can sound just too good. And when you finally get to watching it, you realise it’s nowhere near as good as it should’ve been  by Robbie Jones
Experiment 626 (which may, or may not be Stitch's real name) is an event embarked on by the I'm With Geek Film Team. Film knowledge was unearthed, truths were found and a DVD exchange took place. These are the true life stories from that experiment... To Robbie from Cookie - Third Star Right. So you and I, Robbie have very polarising points of views that are natural in the film criticism world. While there are movies I really want you to see, there is an opinion of yours that I really want to explore more; your complete disdain for Benedict Cumberbatch...  by Robbie Jones
Once again, the Globes have been and gone. The awards, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, were the first to celebrate the best in film and TV ahead of the Oscars and the Baftas. So, who took home the prizes? |
