Clips

We bring you some clips from John Hillcoat's masterful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's apocalyptic novel...

Opening on January 8th is The Road, Australian director John Hillcoat's breathtaking adaptation of American novelist Cormac McCarthy's bleakly powerful end of the world fable. Featuring a career-best performance from Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the the Rings) as a desperate father whose only reason for living is to keep his young son (the remarkable Kodi Smit-McPhee) safe as the wander through a devastated landscape devoid of all hope, it really is the first must-see film of the year. And to give you just a taste of what you can expect, here are five clips from the film, as well as the trailer.

Movie Highlight

Predators

Almost a quarter of a century ago, John McTiernan's Predator cast Arnie as an alien hunter extraordinare and thrilled audiences in the process. No matter that it stuttered as a franchise, with the recent Alien Vs Predator movies smacking of desperation; the original is now heralded as one of the pinnacle moments of Eighies action excess. And riding the wave of nostalgia for this decade that has driven recent reboots like Rambo and A Nightmare on Elm Street comes the all-newPredators, a glossy homage to its 1987 godfather that celebrates all that was great about the original while introducing the concept to a new, effects-savvy generation.

DVD Highlight

Micmacs

French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet may not be the most prolific of film-makers, having made just 11 movies in the past 32 years, but he's certainly one of the most interesting. And just as there were 10 years between his masterpiece Delicatessen (1991) and Amelie (2001), so nearly a decade has passed since Jeunet introduced the world to the quirky delights of Paris as seen through the wide eyes of Audrey Tautou, meaning the time is right for another slice of French cinema Jeunet-style. And even though Micmacs doesn't have the charming Ms Tautou at the helm, it's still an utterly beguiling piece of pure entertainment.
