'THE SHROUDS'

THE NEW FILM FROM DAVID CRONENBERG.

On to the comps - and we're giving you the chance to see 'The Shrouds' in cinemas from legendary director David Cronenberg. His most intimate and personal work to date, the film stars Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, and Guy Pearce. Set in a disturbingly calm near-future, the story follows Karsh (Cassel), a tech entrepreneur who has invented a radical new system called The Shrouds: software that enables grieving families to watch the physical deterioration of their loved ones via cameras installed in specially designed coffins. Four years after losing his wife Becca (Kruger) to cancer, Karsh is still haunted by grief and has begun a complex relationship with her sister, Terry (also Kruger). When several graves using his technology are desecrated and the coffin camera feeds are mysteriously encrypted, Karsh's company faces a crisis — and his personal connection to his wife is severed. Determined to find the culprit, Karsh embarks on an investigation that reveals a disturbing and far-reaching conspiracy.

'BACK TO THE FUTURE'

BLASTING BACK.

It's 50 years since 'Jaws' first lurched onto cinema screens. A young Steven Spielberg went on to become one of the most acclaimed and successful filmmakers in history, with two Oscars under his belt and some of the most important films of all time to his name. No film about a man-eating shark should be this accomplished, this important, this memorable, or frankly, this perfect. To take a look back with Daniel and find out what makes 'Jaws' such a masterpiece, click here now.

'APOLLO 13'

CELEBRATING THE SWEEPING SPACE EPIC.

It's 30 years since 'Apollo 13' first flew onto our screens. It's one of the prime examples of the romantic Hollywood cinema of the 90s. Both a critical and commercial success back in 1995, 'Apollo 13' is now considered something of a classic. It’s a sweeping epic centred around a true story of three men caught in the ultimate nightmare. Click here now to Blast back in Daniel's retrospective review of 'Apollo 13'.

'POCAHONTAS'

COLOURS OF THE WIND ARE FADING.

As cultural depictions in films are being scrutinised more than ever, we come to the 30th anniversary of 'Pocahontas'. The film isn't necessarily a train wreck - it's more a cinematic misstep, but as more and more time passes, we look less kindly on it. The big question is - what did Disney learn from the failure of 'Pocahontas'? To join Chris as he travels back through Disney's films to celebrate 25 years of 'Pocahontas', click here now.

'WAR OF THE WORLDS'

SPIELBERG'S DARKEST NIGHTMARE.

We're celebrating 20 years since 'War of the Worlds' first hit our screens. All this time on, it has not lost one ounce of its power. This speaks to its incredible craft and unwavering convictions, but also because the collapse it depicts is a nightmare that has never gone away. Click here now as Daniel revisits Steven Spielberg's cinematic classic 'War of the Worlds'.
