When Brian Epstein (JACOB FORTUNE-LLOYD) set foot in the Cavern Club in November 1961 to watch The Beatles perform, he saw something no one else could – a glimmer of gold.

Sharply dressed and well-spoken, Brian was hardly the most obvious radical – but being Jewish, closeted and having grown up as an outsider who had failed at pretty much everything, he was a 26-year old with something to prove and who wanted to tear up the rulebook.

MIDAS MAN is the emotional, heartfelt and often funny story of how Epstein polished four scruffy lads who were going nowhere and in a matter of months turned them into a global phenomenon; of his unwavering belief in his artists and his tenacity in the face of getting turned down by every big record label; and of the style, guile and charm that allowed him to ‘break’ America and fundamentally change popular culture forever.

Starring Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Emily Watson, Eddie Marsan, Jay Leno, Darci Shaw, Midas Man will be release in Aussie cinemas August 29!

The compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary began in 1857 and was one of the most ambitious, and revolutionary projects ever undertaken. Professor James Murray (Mel Gibson) took on the challenge of creating the most comprehensive dictionary ever compiled, but knew that it would take him and his team over a century to compile all known definitions. However, by “crowd sourcing” the work, that is, by enlisting definitions from people all over the world, the dictionary could be compiled in mere decades.

As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W.C. Minor (Sean Penn), had submitted more than ten thousand words. When the committee insisted on honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was a convicted murderer and being held at an asylum for the criminally insane.

The Professor and the Madman will be released in Australian cinemas February 20, 2020!

The story revolves around actions set in Berlin during the last dying days of the communist separation of that city. An end that came to fruition in 1989. As is evident in all good period pieces, the fashions and social values of the day are also the stars. The film pulsates with a great eighties soundtrack that adds even more to the feel of the decade the film is set in.

Theron as said super spy is impossibly skilled at her job and she plays it as badass as any male actor could. It becomes less about gender and more about the power of her intent and intellect. James McAvoy, impressive as aways plays a super sleazy fellow agent and the two provide a fair amount of sparks on screen.

As with all good spy yarns, there are double crosses and triple crosses and you don’t know it’s over till it’s over. And then when you think you’ve finally figured it all out, they throw that final surprise at you. It’s a roller coaster ride.

The story is not helped by the casting of Hollywood’s blandest starlet in Kristen Stewart nor in Chris Hemsworth whose main claim to fame so far is a comic book character. In Hemsworth’s defence, though, he doesn’t have much to do bar getting angry and hitting things with a hefty weapon and somehow falling in love with the heroine (I’m still not sure exactly where in the story this happened but it did… apparently). After half an hour it’s abundantly clear this is going to be a generic royal-fugitive-reclaims-her-throne story and little surprises aside from the aforesaid blossoming inexplicable amour between Twi-chick and Thor.

The one shining performance in the film is Charlize Theron whose mad, desperate, evil queen is a magnetic presence. Her history is an untold story and thereby the most interesting aspect of the film. We almost feel sorry for her wretched, cursed existence, enduring her anguish for the sake of her youthful beauty – the only weapon possessed by a woman in a world ruled by men. While Theron is on screen the film has life but without her it’s dead in the water.

Few resources may have been poured into the story but not so a production design that is splendid, particularly the sequence in the fairy forest that seems inspired by the work of Guillermo Del Toro. The whole production seems to be channelling Lord of the Rings and Excalibur and mimics the grandeur of those films but they’re wrapped around a largely soulless story so in the end it counts for little.

The seven dwarves presented here are not unlike the vagabonds in Mirror Mirror – a bunch of rough-around-the-edge outlaws with hearts of gold and wisdom beyond their stature. It’s fun to play spot-the-well-known-actor with the dwarves that include Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Nick Frost, Toby Jones and Eddie Marsan. And it must be said that the transformation of these actors to small stature is a remarkable application of special effects technology.

But for all the action and beautiful sets, Snow White and the Huntsman is actually quite boring, and were it not for Charlize Theron we’d all be snoozing in the cinema awaiting our own loved one to revive us.
