REVIEW: The Call (2013)
From a 911 emergency call centre in America, operator Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) fields the pleas for help with ease while the distressed callers hauntingly echo throughout the facility. Stabbings, shootings, suicide attempts, drug overdoses,…
REVIEW: The Call (2013)
The Call is a thriller that works tremendously for the duration of the titular ‘call.’
Alicia Malone’s Cannes Diary: Day 7
“And too much of your butt? Impossible!” I said [to Matt Damon], because I’m shameless.
REVIEW: Farewell, My Queen (2012)
It should be retitled; ‘Sidonie, Marie Antoinette’s just not that into you.’
REVIEW: A Place For Me (2013)
It’s mostly a mediocre walk through the breakdown of a marriage; dad can’t move on, the daughter avoids intimacy and the son does drugs.
FIVE STAR FILMS #45: Roman Holiday (1953)
Roman Holiday certainly deserves its place in the canon of great classic films, and is an absolute treat to experience.
Alicia Malone’s Cannes Diary: Day 6
As my friend’s alarm clock signalled the start of another Cannes day, I tentatively opened my eyes, scared to feel the presence of a hangover. There was none, and I was relieved that I had enough sense to stop after a few glasses of champagne last night, which was flowing freely at the Weinstein party.
Alicia Malone’s Cannes Diary: Day 5

REVIEW: Fast and Furious 6 (2013)
Here we are at Fast and Furious 6. You know there’s going to be an off-plot street racing scene. You know there’s going to be more scantily clad women dancing on cars than a Lil Wayne video. And you know that no matter what odds are against him, Vin Diesel is going to come walking out of the flames cut and dirty, but otherwise unharmed at the end of it all.
Alicia Malone’s Cannes Diary: Day 4
After yet another pain au chocolat for breakfast, I walked through some relentless rain, cursing my giant umbrella. Here in Cannes, the smartest guys are the umbrella sellers posted on every corner.
Alicia Malone’s Cannes Diary: Day 3
I kind of like the person I am in France. Here, I am direct. I am ‘un journaliste pour l’emission sur le cinema’. I am confident. That’s mainly due to the fact that my limited French (enough to get by and nod blankly through conversations) forces me to speak in demands.

Waking with a start, my tired eyes struggled to focus. Wait, where am I? I asked myself, and… am I late for something?

Think you know superheroes? Think again as Sunrise (creators of the mech sensation Gundam) tackle the next step of superheroes; commercialization, exploitation and profiteering.
