WelCoMe!2014 is here. And, with the shiny new year, comes a flurry of filmic treasures.

As awards season looms on the horizon, the Hollywood heavyweights are striding in to battle for cinematic supremacy - which means an epic season in cinema to see us through to spring.

Heading up the Oscar contenders comes one Martin Scorsese who, joining forces with Leonardo DiCaprio once again, will be banking on reprising past brilliance with The Wolf of Wall Street. Probing the rise and fall of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, this heady tale of money, excess and hedonism looks set to crackle with its sharp writing and captivating performances.

Meanwhile, George Clooney’s The Monuments Men traces the mission of an unlikely platoon charged with rescuing art masterpieces from the Nazis. And the epic drama continues with Pompeii in captivating 3D and, of course, Idris Elba’s star turn as Nelson Mandela in the hugely anticipated Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

Throw in the 21st century take on RoboCop and time travel adventure Mr. Peabody and Sherman into the mix - and you have plenty to enjoy on these long winter’s evenings. Until next time!

WHAT’S ON

I, FrankensteIn

From the creators of Underworld comes another all action fantasy horror in the form of I, Frankenstein, a bold reimagining of Mary Shelley’s definitive gothic tale.

Following his previous success with prosthetic, CGI-rendered facial scarring as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Aaron Eckhart returns to the makeup artist’s chair for his interpretation of the disfigured horror icon. Set two hundred years after he was stitched together, Victor Frankenstein’s monstrous creation has adopted his maker’s name and operates as a private investigator in a world that has never accepted him. But, Adam Frankenstein isn’t the only monster who populates the ominously titled city of Darkhaven and before long he finds himself enveloped in a ferocious war between winged gargoyles, fallen angels and the human population who suffer the demons’ torment.

In offering a modern revision of a gothic tale and infusing the existing traditional themes with stylish visual effects and high octane martial arts, writer director Stuart Beattie looks to mould Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel, which is also due for a January release, into an eye catching film that is sure to give Underworld fans an early 2014 treat.

Release date 31 JanuaRy / director Stuart Beattie / starring Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Miranda Otto / Genre Action, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

Fresh from his adventure into the deep, dark, depths of space George Clooney is back in the directors seat in the run up to awards season!

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is a dramatic thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners.

It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed?

But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.

A whole host of Hollywood A-Listers have stepped up to star alongside Mr Clooney for this one including Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett.

In the greatest way possible, RoboCop was a creature of the ‘80s. DNA of the eponymous ‘part man, part machine’ was laced liberally with all the tropes that made the era so distinctive. Advanced technology, used for both good and evil. A dystopian

future, at the mercy of not just criminals, but evil corporations. And most importantly, lots of wonderfully gratuitous, exaggerated violence.

But RoboCop was anything but a hulking, thoughtless blockbuster. Where its contemporaries blindly followed a pattern of ‘bigger muscles = more bucks’, RoboCop aspired to something more. Amidst the gunfire, it incisively lampooned a decade marked with knee-jerk conservatism, rampant capitalism and the birth of consumerism.

Consider the role of the antagonist company, (the not so subtly named) Omni Consumer Products, coldly running an under-funded police service into the ground as the officers are killed in the street. Fans will remember the exaggerated ‘ads’ peppered throughout the feature, sideswiping at issues ranging from private healthcare, a lack of compassion for criminals (MagnaVolt), climate change (Sunblock 5000) and the rise of violent entertainment for children (Nukem).

As the cinema-going public has grown ever more cynical about tenuous sequels, remakes

and reboots, RoboCop (2014) has worked hard to win over fans of the original.

The premise remains much the same: injured police officer is transformed into cyborg crime-fighter. But many of the little details have been updated, retaining a sharp edge of cultural comment. Instead of being shot, Murphy is injured in a car bomb. Corporate schmoozing becomes media manipulation. Concerns about inner city violence and police brutality shift to consider the morality of drone warfare and US intervention (‘American machines help keep people safe abroad’). Fans of the original will be pleased to see that ED209 is present and accounted for as well, revealed at the end of the second trailer, battling our hero into a 50-metre fall.

Of course, there is one elephant in the room: the iconic suit is now black, not cool Detroit steel. In a clever nod to the film’s forerunner, this is quickly addressed in the trailer, as we see an ‘80s style RoboCop being previewed by Omnicorp executives, “make it more tactical...let’s go with black” before cutting to a visceral montage of a jet-black MKII causing untold destruction. The bulky, weighty original seemed extremely powerful but - compared to the lightning fast nature of modern technology - would look antiquated on screen. The new, sleek, almost insectoid design feels far more menacing – this iteration more ‘ultra-modern military’ than ‘man in tin can’.

It was a bold change, and one for the better. Confidently taking the suit in a new direction sends a clear message: we respect the film that

you know and love - but make no mistake, this is not your father’s RoboCop. The action is far more ambitious than anything in the previous iteration. Both claustrophobic - with RoboCop battling bad guys along darkened corridors and snapping the necks of drones in an abandoned warehouse - but also expansive - with aerial drones and large-scale skirmishes across the cityscape.

With modern upgrades come modern budgets. This new iteration, funded to the tune of roughly $120 million (a relatively mid-sized production by today’s standards), is more than ten times the shoestring ’87 release. But where the original cast unknowns, RoboCop (2014) features an ensemble of character actors and household names.

Joel Kinnaman (famous for playing the complex and troubled detective, Jan Meyer in The Killing) is RoboCop. A-list support comes by way of Samuel L. Jackson, a powerful media figure and outspoken supporter of mechanised crime control. Michael Keaton plays the villainous CEO of Omnicorp and Gary Oldman is the scientist responsible for transforming Murphy into an armoured crime-fighter, struggling with the ethical ramifications of his creation as the company begins to assert its control.

If box office success is forthcoming, there remains a grand scope for the franchise to evolve. The original spawned two sequels, one live action television series and two animated shows. Although 25 years may have seen some changes, the two fundamentals - action and intelligence - are very much alive. We won’t be saying ‘sayonara’ to RoboCop for quite some time yet.

DIRTY SEXY MONEY

Martin Scorsese is in familiar territory - although it may not seem that way at first glance. Where once he made a film

about gangsters, he has now made a film about bankers. And there are some striking similarities between The Wolf of Wall Street -from its storyline to its heroes and villains - and the legendary film-maker’s past films. For one thing, an obsession with money is a principal theme: the sweet yet sour medicine that both heals and poisons the American dream.

Similarly, Leonardo DiCaprio is returning to a tried and tested skill: portraying larger-than-life real people and real events. From The Aviator to Catch Me If You Can, he excels at taking real-life characters and adding that cinematic sparkle to make their stories shine on the big screen.

The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the memoirs of Jordan Belfort, who lived a life of self-indulgence and unstoppable Wall Street greed in the late 1980s. As a stockbroker, Belfort founded Stratton Oakmont in his early twenties, and made himself and his staff more than slightly rich. His money-hoovering schemes essentially involved cheating investors out of money and, by the time the operation

was shut down by the regulators in 1996, Belfort’s company had conned people out of a quarter of a billion dollars.

Combine that kind of money and a clear lack of morals and you have a recipe for excess and hedonism on an epic level; Belfort regularly cheated on his wife with prostitutes, threw wildly extravagant parties, took a lot of drugs and even staged dwarf-throwing contests for his staff on Friday afternoons.

Unsurprisingly, the Hollywood heavyweights were desperate to adapt his memoirs into a film, even before they were written and published. In the end, DiCaprio battled Brad Pitt for the film rights. Terrence Winter, who penned Boardwalk Empire, wrote the screenplay.

The attraction of Belfort as the protagonist of a movie is obvious. He was ambitious and determined; he achieved his goals; he revelled in excess. Yet no matter how fast he rose, how extravagantly he lived - as in the greatest of Hollywood stories - he was destined for a severe fall. There’s only so long you can keep going up before you have to start coming back down again, after all.

Another factor that makes Belfort so compelling is his unrepentant attitude. Although reformed after a 22-month term in prison and now a motivational speaker, the tone of his memoir is in no way apologetic. How could Hollywood resist a real life bad boy, who rose from having absolutely nothing to making millionaires of himself and his ‘Strattonite’ colleagues?

The similarities between this modern film

about stockbrokers and the gangster films of old can be easily drawn. As The Independent pointed out, the way in which DiCaprio describes Belfort’s story as epitomising “the corruption of the American dream” is rather similar to the way in which critics used to describe gangster movies. The land of the free and the home of the brave seems to have a lot more to offer those who shun morality and have the resolve to disobey the laws.

The Wolf of Wall Street marks the fifth occasion DiCaprio and Scorsese have worked together. Their fruitful partnership has yielded the likes of Gangs of New York, The Aviator and Shutter Island, while Scorsese achieved long overdue recognition at the Oscars with both a Best Film and Best Director accolade for The Departed in 2006.

Stellar support comes from the likes of Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler and a rumoured standout performance from Matthew McConaughey who plays Belfort’s early boss and mentor, Mark Hanna. And, in another foray from Judd Apatow-centric comedy into heavyweight drama, Jonah Hill plays success-hungry Donnie Azoff, who becomes friends with Belfort and later his business partner.

DiCaprio’s gripping portrayals of real life characters, coupled with Scorsese’s directing credentials and love of a good gangster movie, is sure to create a thrilling tale of risk, rise and redemption. We are all attracted to the anti-heroes, and the heady, hedonistic tale of Jordan Belfort and his band of co-workers is sure to be a darkly comic and captivating riot.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ART

World War II is raging, but a secret battle to recover mankind’s history has only just begun. George Clooney leads a ragtag ensemble of Hollywood greats behind enemy lines in The Monuments MenWords Brody rossiter

release date 14 FeBruary / director George Clooney / starring George

Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon / Genre Adventure, Comedy, Drama

T he haunting legacy of World War II still stands as one of the most savage and costly conflicts in human history. Not only did the war devour the

lives of millions across the globe, it also came incredibly close to exterminating and rewriting our culture as we know it. One man’s attempts to shatter and piece history back together in his image threatened one of our most ancient and irreplaceable possessions - a possession which defines human nature from generation to generation: the beauty and splendour of our art.

The Monuments Men recounts the true life tale of the US Army platoon who went to war with a mission far different from most: a rescue

mission not to recapture human lives, but to ensure the survival of the irreplaceable works of art which Hitler and his armies stole from the eyes of the world.

Director and leading man George Clooney has enlisted a fine band of Hollywood brothers (and sisters) with whom to race against time, storming darkened Nazi bunkers and snowcapped mountaintop strongholds. Amongst many others, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray and The Artist’s Jean Dujardin all contribute to this darkly comic and thrilling cinematic portrait worthy of the lost masterpieces it strives to uncover. This profound, inspirational and impassioned race to save one of the very foundations of modern society will be one epic lesson in art history. The Monuments Men is a classical story of adventure with a contemporary twist that will surely be worth the price of admission.

Feature

PAINT A TARGET

to this day, hundreds of thousands of pieces of Nazi plunder, from family heirlooms to major works by rembrandt and raphael, remain missing - ripped from the homes and museums of France, Poland, russia and Germany. a failed artist himself, it was Hitler’s intention to transform his hometown of linz in austria into a massive museum complex named the Führermuseum - showcasing the classical art he procured by any means. despite the Monuments Men’s best efforts, many pieces eluded discovery. Most recently, a treasure trove of stolen works - valued at over one billion euros and including art by Picasso - was discovered in a small Munich apartment, hidden away for over six decades.

WAR OF THE WORDS

reLease date 28 February / director Brian

Percival / starring Sophie Nélisse, Geoffrey

Rush, Emily Watson / Genre Drama, War

Sophie Nélisse may not be the first name that comes to mind when discussing the most exciting young prospects of the film world but,

despite her solo film credit, the bright-eyed Canadian actress is a promising talent with remarkable potential.

Two years on from her exceptionally sophisticated breakthrough performance in Philippe Falardeau’s Oscar-nominated Monsieur Lazhar, for which the then twelve-year-old actress received a Genie Award, Sophie Nélisse’s career has skyrocketed into the mainstream. The intensity of a Hollywood production and the daunting prospect of working alongside experienced names such as Geoffrey Rush and

Emily Watson could prove too much for many her age, but she approaches her leading role in Brian Percival’s adaptation of Markus Zusak’s acclaimed bestseller with the same level-headed maturity that proved so successful in her debut.

Nélisse stars as a young orphan girl named Liesel who is adopted by a kind-hearted German couple and unknowingly thrust into the atrocities of Nazi Germany. Having been taught to read by her foster father, she begins ‘borrowing’ forbidden books from a private library to fuel her newfound passion for literature and share the stories with the Jewish refugee hiding in her home.

The Book Thief is less about the conflict itself and focuses more on the importance of affecting those around you in a positive way. It’s as much an exploration of war as it is a poignant tale about a spirited and courageous child’s fight for her own sense of humanity in such inhuman surroundings.

PAINT A TARGET

THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES

in presenting the horrors of World War ii through the eyes of its child protagonist, the book thief joins a rich list of adult dramas, which depict grown-up material from the perspective of children. Here’s our top three:

Pan’s LabyrintH (2006)set in the aftermath of the spanish Civil War, Guillermo del toro’s dark fable follows a young girl called Ofelia who, in escaping from her tyrannical stepfather, finds sanctuary in a mythical labyrinth full of nightmarish creatures.

tHis is enGLand (2006)a lonely twelve-year-old schoolboy finds solace in a group of skinheads only to become embroiled in racist violence when their subculture is adopted by white nationalists in 1980s’ england.

Grave OF tHe FireFLies (1988)as beautifully crafted as any studio Ghibli animation, this film is uniquely devastating in its depiction of war-torn Japan, as seen through the eyes of two orphaned children.

After the massive success of The Amazing Spider-Man back in 2012, Marc Webb is back in the director’s seat for the second installment of web slinging chaos.

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend Harry Osborn (Dane Dehaan) returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

Win Some Fantastic Film Goodies

Win THE LEGO MOVIE

24 January / February 2014

3DIn cErTaIncInEMas

To celebrate the release of The LEGO Movie we have teamed up with Warner Bros Pictures to give 3 lucky readers the chance to win a fantastic LEGO goodie bag. Simply answer the question below:

Q In The LEGO Movie, this actor stars as the voice of Emmet. He has appeared in such films

as Zero Dark Thirty, Moneyball, and TV’s Parks and Recreation. Name this actor?

Email your answer, name and local cinema to [email protected] Or post your entry to Onscreen Magazine, Savoy Suite, Causewayhead, Penzance, Cornwall TR18 2SN. Entries must be received by 28th February 2014.

Terms and Conditions: Closing date for entries is 28th February 2014 - Three winners drawn at random will win a LEGO goodie bag.

© 2013 The LEGO Group © 2013 Warner Bros. Entertainment. All rights reserved

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an uptight CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken) voices the president’s powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop/Good Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.

So get set for some rib-tickling fun as this sure fire hit assembles in a cinema screen near you on February 14th. Grab THE GOODIEs
