THE LONDON FEMINIST FILM FESTIVAL - NOVEMBER 24 - 30


A quick heads up: if you are in London between the 24th and 30th November, it is not too late to take in some great films at the London Feminist Film Festival. 2012 saw the first ever London Feminist Film Festival and this year looks set to follow the groundbreaking trends, with many films being premiered at the festival, along with panel discussions and even a classic or two thrown in. There are still some tickets available for the events that are taking place at Picture House in Hackney, and the awards ceremony will be held on November 30th. To take a look at the programme of events click here and for more information about the festival take a wander through this link. So, for a good film that will definitely pass the Bechdel test, why not support the festival and catch some interesting films in the process!

Oscars 2015 - Nominees Announced

It's been a while but I'm back just in time for Oscar season! So, the nominees have been announced and it's all about the countdown to the ceremony on Sunday February 22nd. There have been a few surprises, like Jake Gyllenhall's missing from the nominations for his totally engrossing and terrifying performance in Nightcrawler. I am really happy to see Rosamund Pike's performance didn't go unnoticed in Gone Girl, though, she is mesmerizing and truly deserves the nod. Now it's all been announced, here at Silver-Celluloid we thought you might like to see a full review of each film that has been nominated. Over the next few weeks we are going to do just that. Anyway, enough of this, I'll just go and dust off my dress for my Oscar night party while you guys take a look at the nominees for this year's big categories.

I could leave it there but I guess you are looking for a little more, so we'll dive into the plot. It is based on a true story and tells of the life of Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) famous for his work at Bletchley Park during World War II, as well as his contribution to artificial intelligence and computing. An unusual person, and bonafide genius, his personal and professional lives collide in 1950s Britain. On the surface this film doesn't look very exciting, in truth I approached it with a little trepidation as it looked very heavy in content, and as if it was made with 'Oscar' in mind. I couldn&#

American Sniper - Review - Spoiler Free - Oscars Countdown

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller Director: Clint Eastwood Genre: Drama Running time: 132 Certificate: 15 If you're interested in this movie then you've probably already heard about that baby, and if you haven't you are about to. Where to start with American Sniper ? My hopes were for a moving portrayal of the effects of conflict in a high pressure military role. I also thought that it might take an interesting look at the families of service men and the sacrifices made both at home and on tour. My hopes were not realised. This film is based on a true story, the source material is the autobiography by Chris Kyle. It follows the life of Kyle (Bradley Cooper) who grows up with a need to protect others. This combined with his environment leads him into a career as a sniper in the US Navy. As his career progresses his home life becomes slowly more fraught. Does it Hit the Mark? This was always going to be a difficult movie to review because it is based on auto
