Alexander Payne - JDM Favourite: Election

Jason Reitman ain't afraid of his dad's ghost.
As awards season closes in on us once more it's time for the list makers to list. The nominees to be nominated and for the contenders to make their presence known.

The Hollywood Reporter got 5 of this years most visible Directors and sat them in a room with a lens on them. The conversation is loose, the banter entertaining and the philosophy of the craft worth pondering. Be warned though, it runs for an entire hour.

Watch the interview with Alexander Payne (The Descendents), Jason Reitman (Young Adults), Steve McQueen (Shame), Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) and Mike Mills (Beginners)

A bonus, here is The Hollywood Reporter's Actor Roundtable where George Clooney, Gary Oldman, Albert Brookes and Christopher Plummer, provide a reality check on superstar actordom.

John Doe’s favourite 10 Films of 2010

valhalla rising, vikings, best foreign films, nicolas wendig meyer
Defeating the foreign gauntlet with a transporting journey into the dark ages.


After another extended absence from JDM it seems apt to return with a slightly belated but hopefully still relevant list of John Doe’s favourite films of the past year. 2010 was a shaky 12 months for the Doe and JDMfilmreviews suffered for it. Continued struggles with assimilating to a new culture and the constant quest for employment saw some major personal sacrifices…tragically most of them cinematic. Aside from being unable to maintain the writing habit many releases were sadly missed. (See the footer of this post for a few examples.) JD hopes to catch up on those soon.

Iron Man (2008) - Trailer Included

Ore Mined and Polished


The nice people at Paramount sent John Doe a press invite for Iron Man on Monday night and he just has to thank them for their kindness. It is admittedly fun seeing a super-hyped movie before the global release and geek boys spoil the surprises.

Quentin Tarantino’s DeathProof (2007) – Trailer Included

A high powered box office death machine?

John Doe’s trip to the U.S of A was filled with visits to cinematic landmarks and the odd historical monument but the greatest pleasure derived from the journey was access to DVD’s currently unavailable in Australia. Due for a bigscreen release in Oz on November 1st JD was lucky enough to grab the 2 disc unrated Special Edition of Mr Tarantino’s latest schlock celluloid salute.

Shoot Em Up (2007) - Trailer Included

A fistful of flesh, bullets bang and loaded words.
Fearing that John Doe’s blog is turning into a travel diary, it’s time to review a film that he saw in New York City’s Times Square at the famed Empire AMC Multiplex.
