Mad Max: Fury Road is the sequel that we never knew we needed.  

The original Mad Max trilogy was released in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t turn up until 2015. But various aspects of the film pre-production, script and models and props date back to 1997. A film with a fascinating development history. The editing is fast with more cuts per minute than usual in a film, plus interesting changes to the frame rate to boost the excitement levels.

Paths of Glory (1957) 

 

Director: Stanley Kubrick 

Writers: Stanley Kubrick, Calder Willingham, Jim Thompson 

Stars: Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, Timothy Carey 

Taglines: Never has the screen thrust so deeply into the guts of war! The most explosive motion picture in 25 years! 

We review this epic but controversial film which was banned in many countries despite depicting the true picture of corruption in the French military during WWI. The producers knew they were courting controversy but pressed on regardless, giving us one of the finest, if not the grimmest, anti-war films ever made.

There are product placement campaigns going on from film sponsors but is the campaign strong enough to support the reboot?
