http://britishfilmmagazine.com/rss/latest-articles.html The British Film world on one site! http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/icewhole-com-loves-orange.html Mobile movies just got easier thanks to Orange doing a deal to showcase shorts from Icewhole.com’s treasure trove. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/brits-triumph-in-cannes-2008.html Okay, Britain is not going to win the Palme D’Or this year. It has no films in the main competition. But it is not the end of the world. The country has half a dozen excellent films featuring large in Cannes' other big strands and may well come away with some important silverware. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/love-live-long-heart-racing.html Ask Mike Figgis to make a movie about the (in)famous Gumball Rally? Which way will he go? Comedy as in the 1976 film? Not likely. Instead what you get is sex, death and a lot to think about. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/pirates-beware-a-dogs-tale.html James Bartlett in LA meets two of Britain’s biggest film stars, Lucky and Flo, from Northern Ireland. The key to their success? Their noses, the only ones in the world that can smell DVDs. And the pressing need to sniff out the fake DVDs that are crippling Hollywood. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/doomsday-coming-or-not.html It’s off to the future for Neil Marshall, for his third adventure into scaring people. To date he has worked on far more conventional terrain, squeezing unforeseen terror out of ordinary things. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/cashback-shopping-differently.html Your local Tesco may be a little more lovable after this film. Certainly you are never likely to see more beautiful naked women in a supermarket outside your dreams. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/sisterhood-opposites-attract.html Remember Crocodile Dundee in NY? Here the focus is an equally rough edged New Zealand lass in London using her brash girl power to find love. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/made-of-honour-mckidd-is.html Funny title this one. A play on the words Maid of Honour, certainly. But beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess. For oddly, the most honourable element in it is a Brit who suffers at the hands of invading Yanks. <p>Indeed, the whole film is a funny concoction. Following soon on the heels of PS I Love You – American girl travels to Ireland to find love – we have American girl travels to Scotland to find love.</p> http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/joy-division-the-reel-story.html Get ready. That band is back. And music fan Octavia Morris is happy to see them, despite some initial doubts. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/hooray-for-hollywood-in-all-ways.html Looking to make your first short but short of funds? The answer may be to shoot it in Hollywood. At least that is what first timer Kerry Finlayson (main photo, right) did, and she found the process energizing. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/caution-wet-paint-bold-plans.html Wondering about the future of guerrilla filmmaking in the years to come? This new comedy short shot in East London could well be the trailblazer, and not merely because it was made for less than £100 yet has won a slot at the Cannes Film Festival. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/how-to-be-watch-and-learn.html Which is harder? Making a film about growing up? Or growing up? Or are they, in fact, the same thing? http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/waiting-room-worth-waiting-for.html The East London Fest just ended and included the discovery of a British gem for local critic Pete Sherlock. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/dvd-extraordinary-rendition.html "It wasn’t a case of choosing to make this my first feature," says director Jim Threapleton, regarding the challenge of shooting a hard hitting drama about the hideous contemporary practice Extraordinary Rendition. "Rather it chose me. It was one of several projects I had in development but stood out as the debate escalated about government involvement in kidnapping people and transporting them abroad to be tortured." http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/redbelt-twists-ejiofor.html Presumably not everyone in the world managed to bag a seat for Chiwetel Ejiofor’s recent, stunning performance as Othello opposite Ewan McGregor. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/deception-suits-mcgregor.html Accountants take another hard rap in this thriller as a NY number cruncher, Ewan McGregor, indulges his latent sexy side only to find himself liable for stealing $20 million. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/sam-mendes-what-he-did-next.html Actually, no one knows for now. Mendes has started on a new film but it is so far untitled, which tells you something surely, but it is hard to say what exactly. Oh, why do they have such trouble coming up with a defining few words? http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/the-oxford-murders-serial-mysteries.html Code breaking time again, a la Da Vinci, as two math’s experts at the fabled university work feverishly to stop the murder of one cryptic landlady becoming the first in a long line of killings. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/three-and-out-risky-business.html Pacts with the devil have been used to make many fine movies. Here the twist is that one man, a tube driver, agrees to pay a wannabe suicide £1500 for the privilege of running him down. http://britishfilmmagazine.com/articles/shoot-on-sight-if-you-dare.html Here is a film to challenge the meaning of going to the cinema. Should it be an act of escapism? Or something much more meaningful? Something life changing? Perhaps even life saving!
