The Edge Film Editor Barnaby Walter talks to director of I, Anna (out on DVD from 15 April) Barnaby Southcombe about his first venture into feature-filmmaking and directing his mother in sex scenes. What was it about Elsa Lewin’s novel that made you want to adapt it into a film? The character of Anna really…
The voice of Nemo Alexander Gould, whose face will be familiar to fans of TV show Weeds, talks about his experience making Finding Nemo when he was seven and what it’s like to revisit the film now. How did you originally get the role of Nemo? Was it a tough selection process? It was…
The bestselling author of One Day and Starter for Ten talks about his script for the new film adaptation of Great Expectations (out on Blu-ray and DVD now).
The Place Beyond the Pines is full of talent. It’s also full of self-importance and lacking in script, says David Tully.

Danny Boyle’s new movie just isn’t as clever as it would like to be, says Barnaby Walter
Lee Daniels directed two films before this one. His first was seen by practically nobody. It was called ShadowBoxer and starred Helen Mirren, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Oz: The Dull and the Underwhelming, more like.

With the extended editions showing from 7pm Saturday, make sure you’re ready for a full night of Middle Earth extravagance! Just as usual, with the ticket you get an exclusive t-shirt from the event (this time,…
Stoker is a film lover’s chocolate. It’s covered in gloss, blood, Hitchcockian-homage, terrific acting, wonderful music and an atmosphere to die for. It’s probably the most delicious film cinema will see this year. Directed by Park Can-wook, director of Oldboy, and scripted by (believe it or not) Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller, this is a…
Middle-earth dominates Union Films this week with The Hobbit and a LOTR All-Nighter!
I didn’t get on with Malick’s previous film, The Tree of Life – a pretentious mixture of grass stroking and dinosaurs. To the Wonder, which marks a new age of prolific Malick ventures as opposed to his usual decade-long wait, is in my opinion the much better film. It’s testing, and those with low tolerance…
