Gravity Featurettes

Featurettes from IMAX and The New York Times about Gravity, Alfonso Cuarón's latest offering.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Gravity

The Machine

"Machine, open your eyes..."

Tony Scott

The circumstances of his death are not yet clear, but whatever drove Tony Scott, one half of the Scott Free duo, to end his own life it is a loss for filmmaking. Below is his first short film, about a confederate soldier during the American Civil War; not the kind of film he became known for, but ample display of his talent for storytelling nonetheless.

Skyfall

"Some men are coming to kill us; we're going to kill them first."

After far too long a delay, owing to financial difficulties at MGM, Skyfall is finally on its way; it looks to be another solid entry in the canon by Messrs Craig, etc..

Cinema 2011

Haywire

Joining a healthy strand of action films following lone 'Black Ops' operators betrayed by their former employers and on the run/out for revenge/rescuing a girl (The American and Spartan being two of the best, and most stylish in different ways; Taken is a guilty pleasure on the other hand...), Steven Soderbergh directs the screen debut of women's MMA fighter Gina Carano leading a stellar cast in Haywire. In this film the girl can look after herself, but let's hope her acting lives up to that of fellow MMA retiree (and The Expendables cast member) Randy Couture.

Prometheus

Ridley Scott returns to Science Fiction, and to Horror, with his prequel (sequel?) to his own seminal, genre-defining classic, Alien, apparently dispensing with the claustrophobia of the original in the process and turning to a much larger canvas. It sports a fantastic cast as well.

Burning Bridges

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

- Tom Stoppard
