It is with great sadness that we woke up to the news today that James Gandolfini had died. At only 51, it could easily be argued that his best work was ahead of him, which is quite incredible really considering what he did in his lifetime. Continue reading
Danny Boyle, the man who won Great Britain all those Olympic medals, or something, is back. In his new film Trance, James McAvoy lets Rosario Dawson hypnotise him and do whatever she wants with him. The poor fella. Boyle has been hypnotising audiences (see what we did there?) for almost two decades across a range of genres. Let’s take a look at some of the common themes running through his work.

This week sees the release of Identity Thief, a new comedy with everyone’s second favourite Teen Wolf, Jason Bateman, and everyone’s favourite Bridesmaid, Melissa McCarthy. We won’t let the fact the film looks terrible get in the way of this week’s list, which takes a look at the most memorable moments of mistaken identity in movies. Continue reading
To celebrate the release this week of director Eran Creevy’s actioner, Welcome To The Punch, starring James McAvoy and Mark Strong, we’ve decided to welcome you to some of the best punches in movie history. Make sure to keep your guard up. Continue reading
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Of course, we all know The Wizard Of Oz is really about witches. As Sam Raimi’s prequel, Oz The Great And Powerful, is released, we run through the best witches in movie history. Be warned: they are certain to put a spell on you. Continue reading
There’s a film called Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters out this week. We’re big Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton fans here at Ross v Ross Towers, but this looks like a big dollop of crud. The story of Hansel & Gretel would work better as a slow-moving Michael Haneke piece, with a close-up of every bread crumb dropped in the forest. Anyway, we’re not interested in this film because of Jez and Gemma. We’re barely interested in it at all. The reason we are even slightly interested in it is because of one man: Peter Stormare. He may not have a name you know but he has a face you have almost definitely seen. And for some reason he’s in Hansel & Gretel: Cruise Control or whatever it’s called. But forget it. Here are his truly greatest movie moments. Continue reading
Take two movies into the shower? No, let’s take ten. In the final part of our bathroom trilogy, we move from the bath and the toilet into a nice, hot, steamy, cinematic shower. Warning: You may need a towel. Continue reading
Last week, we gave you a nice clean bath. This week, it’s toilet time. Going to the loo in the movies is a bit like going to the loo at a rock concert – no one washes their hands. Hollywood, what a dirty town… Continue reading
