Skyfall

As the Bond franchise turns 50, Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes seek to marry 007’s modern-day grit with old-school wit.

Seven Psychopaths

Seven Psychopaths

Kicking off our 10 Coolest Movies, Martin McDonagh’s follow-up to In Bruges is a whip-smart tale of guns, lowlifes and kidnapped mutts.

McDonagh, Colin Farrell and Christopher Walken take us through the absurd gangster comedy.

Buzz and Agenda

Buzz and Agenda

In Buzz this month, Denzel Washington prepares for turbulence in Robert Zemeckis’ return to live-action filmmaking, Flight . And we get grubby on set of Mike Newell’s new take on Dickens’ Great Expectations , which he calls “the anti-David Lean”.

Chloë Grace Moretz’s Carrie heads up a horror preview, Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg talk Celeste & Jesse Forever , and Ben Wheatley walks us through Sightseers .

Screen and Lounge

Screen and Lounge

In Screen , Frankenweenie takes the front row-centre seat, joined in the foyer by On The Road , Sinister and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower . Indie charmers Ruby Sparks , Liberal Arts and Beasts Of The Southern Wild and action sequel Taken 2 also get a thorough examination.

Ridley Scott’s sci-fi brain-teaser Prometheus leads the home entertainment reviews in Lounge , joined by post- Twilight projects Cosmopolis and Snow White & The Huntsman , and in the classics corner are a whopping Hitchcock boxset, an essential collection of Universal Classic monsters, and some vintage Spielberg. Plus, we go on set of the second season of Homeland .
