Recommended The Movie Writer/director Christophe Gans' 2001 sophomore effort Brotherhood of the Wolf is as idiosyncratic an action flick as you're likely to find. A minor multiplex hit that found its legs on home video, Wolf is a willfully weird mash-up of period drama, gruesome horror, bone-crunching martial arts, spaghetti Western, bodice-ripping soap opera and thrilling whodunit, all served up...

Highly Recommended The Film: French critic-turned-filmmaker Christophe Gans' 2001 film Brotherhood of the Wolf was a cinematic wet dream for fanboys--a moving picture pastiche of genre films with a childlike love for all things cool. In much the same way Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars and Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon captured both directors love for the genre films they grew up watching,...

While the Silent Hill movie is panned almost universally, I personally found it quite interesting, with the underlying message being subtle and open to several interpretations. However, the screenwriter of the original movie - Roger Avary - won’t be behind the sequel. Avary is credited with Pulp Fiction, Killing Zoe and Rules of Attraction. In [...]

After news in March that the Onimusha film had been put on indefinite hold, I pretty much gave up hope of seeing the film, but it seems its been given a second chance after all. According to Capcom's US blog , an ad celebrating Capcom's 25th anniversary had some interesting tidbits at the bottom -- a release date of 2009 for the Clock Tower film and 2011 for Onimusha . Christophe Gans seems to still...

Very good news for fans of director Christophe Gans. His adaptation of Onimusha has been put on hold thanks to the combined effects of Heath Ledger’s death - the production company has a lot of money tied up in Gilliam’s Doctor Parnassus , which Ledger’s death delayed significantly - and the possible upcoming actors strike. but rather than sulk about it Gans has simply returned home to work on another...

Filed under: Action , Drama , Sci-Fi & Fantasy , Deals It's easy to make a movie look good, if the budget is right, but it's hard to make one look straight-up beautiful. French director Christophe Gans is part of the small group of filmmakers who seems to be able to do the latter on a regular basis. His Silent Hill made absolutely no sense, but was it ever gorgeous; I could have watched it without...

In case you've been living under a rock, BioShock is a solid PC and Xbox360 game. Some said it was a revelation, giving the player access to weird and wild powers (along with a variety of weapons) in an underwater dystopia with a fully realised back story. For me, I found it quite repetitive and [...]

Ahoy, squirts! here. I'm still a fan of Christophe Gans. He seemed to lose a lot of his street cred with the fans after SILENT HILL, which I think has some serious troubles near the end of the movie (and a bad decision to apply a CG layer to some of the live-action creature effects that looked ten times more scary without it on the DVD docs), but overall it was exactly the tone, creepiness and gore...

There are some people that you just hate. Whether it be Uwe Boll or Shia LaBeouf , there is someone that completely ruins your hopes and dreams, and you want him dead. For me, that person is Roger Avary, the screenwriter for Silent Hill . While he's not dead in a flaming car wreck, the screenwriter was arrested under suspicion of DUI, after getting in a car crash around 1 a.m. this morning. Avary was...
