What a great sales hook — a feature film with a Bernard Herrmann music score that we hadn’t heard of. And one of the writers was Martin Scorsese, before Boxcar Bertha and Mean Streets! But wait, it isn’t as simple as that. The new release is more than a little confusing. Its own ad copy first calls this Dutch production ‘obscure,’ and not four sentences later describes it as a ‘classic exploitation film.’

Dark Souls II's first Dlc is due today, and a new patch has addressed a huge list of issues...
News
The first Dlc for Dark Souls II, Crown of the Sunken King, has probably landed by the time you read this, and accompanying it is a huge update that fixes and tweaks a massive range of features.
You can see the full list below (and it's some list), but highlights include a limit to the amount of souls a player can earn whilst fighting invaders, and the removal of healing abilities during any form of PvP, a common annoyance for those who follow Dark Souls' community created honour system of no healing during a fight.
A good portion of the update deals with balancing, making changes to weapons damage, armour effectiveness, and spells. Some items have been changed too, such as the very handy Gower's Ring of Protection, which has been weakened,...

James Bond's latest outing has taken £53.44m in 10 days, a figure beyond the wildest dreams of even Eon, MGM and Sony
The winner
Summer 2012 may have disappointed at the box office and, yes, admissions are 5.9% down on 2011 levels for the first nine months of the year. But glass-half-full commentators have kept repeating the mantra: "Just wait for Q4!" While the summer saw distributors giving a wide berth to both Euro 2012 football and the Olympics, the final quarter of the year offered surefire winners such as Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
So far, Skyfall has exceeded the wildest dreams of even Eon, MGM and Sony, with a stunning £53.44m in just 10 days. Only one film has taken more in 2012: The Dark Knight Rises, with £56.24m – and that's been on release for 16 weeks. Skyfall is already the 13th biggest hit of all...

Skyfall (12A)
(Sam Mendes, 2012, UK/Us) Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, 143 mins
It starts with a bang, but ends with a poignant whimper. This is supposedly a smarter Bond, you see, giving you first-class action and breathtaking imagery, but also a Freudian look into the secret agent's psyche. A pity, then, that the plot is utter nonsense. Bardem's Joker-ish baddie isn't interested in world domination; he has a personal score to settle, and an unfeasibly cunning plan…
Elena (12A)
(Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2011, Rus) Nadezhda Markina, Andrey Smirnov. 109 mins
The Return director finds form with a penetrating look at class resentment in money-obsessed modern Russia, perfect conditions for a noir-ish drama. Markina is magnificent as a hard-up divorcee, who does what she has to when her wealthy partner begins to ail.
Room 237 (15)
(Rodney Ascher, 2012, Us) 102 mins
This investigation into the myriad interpretations of Kubrick's The Shining goes far deeper than anyone needed,...

By Sean O’Connell Hollywoodnews.com: We are bearing down on the Toronto International Film Festival! Last-minute interviews are being booked. Buzz out of Venice and Telluride dictates sudden schedule changes. For the most part, my Tiff calendar is locked and blocked. I give it until Friday morning before something wonderful blows the whole schedule to smithereens! Two flights, a bus and a train will take me to Canada for one of the year’s most anticipated film festivals, a launch pad for most of the films we’ll be talking about all Oscar season. Which pictures will distance themselves from the crowded pack? Bets are on “The Master,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s scintillating drama that reportedly features riveting performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams. I’ll finally catch The Master Saturday morning. But in the days leading up to Tiff, the wires hummed with positive...
