CABIN IN THE WOODS Most anticipated 2012 movie (RELEASED 13th April)
Cue drum roll, nervous anticipation, much gnawing of fingernails. As 2011 marks Film Chronicles first year online in it’s current all-singing format (existing as a reviews-only website since late 2008, and going back into the mists of the last century in that curious ‘print’ format old people speak of), it actually feels quite daunting to [...]

Ladies and gents, I give you 4 to 2, the runner-ups. 4 DRIVE A fantasy movie for geeks everywhere. [...]

Taxi Driver, in two minutes, by Michael Gondry. Very funny, very French, and I’m sure Scorsese would love it. Tweet This Post
They know how to do things in Finland. All four (huh, four?) Indiana Jones movies played last Christmas on Finland’s Channel Four TV station. They made special Christmas trailers for each one, and seeing as I’m not really here typing this but drunk and bloated in an armchair somewhere, then I thought this would make [...]
