Raindance 2013 line-up announced

But did they make a mistake in putting Julian Assange on their jury?

Review: Ain't Them Bodies Saints

Rooney Mara is fantastic in this delicate, sun-soaked Western

Review: About Time

Ever since I was a boy, I always wondered about voice-overs...

Film review: Wadjda

Every now and then, a film comes along that changes the world. Sometimes, you don't even realise it's doing it.

World War H – or hate’s not all that

What do Shyamalan, World War Z and Man of Steel have in common? Hype - and hate.

Surprise! Bet you didn't see that coming. A major studio like Disney shooting a sequel to a tentpole franchise in money-boosting 3-D?


Yes, coming right after Alice in Wonderland's cinematic boom, Disney are going all out for third-dimensional financing. Yes, "Disney Digital 3-D" - i.e. a 3-D film that happen to be made by Disney - will be used to lens Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, leaving behind all that stupid post-production conversion crap.


It's a late announcement what with shooting starting in September, but Rob Marshall no doubt appreciates the heads-up. As for Penelope Cruz and LoveJoy The Pirate? Well, they'll be awesome whatever dimension they're in.


The ship sails our way next May. And will probably be no more immersive than a stick figure on a piece of paper drawn with your eyes closed. Gotta love that 3-D.
