27 Dresses/Heavenly Sword/The Orphanage
This week Paul reviews the latest the rom-com about weddings, 27 Dresses, starring pretty woman Katherine Heigl as a woman who has played bridesmaid an average of once a year for her whole life. Find out if it breaks the mould.
Tony and Alex fully review Heavenly Sword now that Alex has finished it and appraise it for the acting and motion capture and also how digital acting has lately become much better in both movies and video games.
Finally we all take a look at the psychological horror/drama/thriller El Orfanato (The Orphanage). It’s the first film from director Juan Antonio Bayona and is produced (very significantly) by Guillermo Del Toro. As a ghost story featuring tormented children it follows in the shadowy footsteps of The Sixth Sense, The Others and Del Toro’s own The Devil’s Backbone. Find out if it can live up to this grand pedigree in our in-depth review.
