    12 Of Our Favorite London-Set Movies To Get You Through The Olympics

    by Oliver Lyttelton on July 27, 2012

    Tonight, the 2012 Summer Olympics will kick off in London, and while our tolerance for sporting events is relatively low, we're a bit excited. In part, it's because it's taking place in the city where this writer was born, raised and still lives, and in part it's because the opening ceremony was mas...

    On The Rise '12: 5 Cinematographers Lighting Up Screens In Recent Years

    by Oliver Lyttelton on June 26, 2012

    Following our looks at actors, actresses, screenwriters and directors to watch in recent months, when the time came to put together a list of cinematographers (as we did two years ago), we went in with an open mind. But what was interesting is realizing, after the fact, that in an era where 35mm fil...

    Listen: Kid Cudi Samples 'Attack The Block' For Latest Track "Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some Of That Whiskey"

    by Simon Dang on May 1, 2012

    Rapper Kid Cudi moonlights as an actor every now and then, most recently popping up in a regular role on the (sadly) now-defunct HBO series "How To Make It In America" but it looks like he's also a keen cinephile, sampling Joe Cornish's "Attack The Block" on his late...

    Drew Taylor's Favorite Films Of 2011

    by Drew Taylor on December 24, 2011

    2011 was undoubtedly the year of Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life." It just wasn't for me. After winning the Palme d'Or on the same day that I saw the movie, I was left feeling baffled. Like I had missed something.

    Hope You Like Synths: The Best Scores & Soundtracks Of 2011

    by Oliver Lyttelton on December 14, 2011

    Way back in the day, The Playlist started as a site focused principally on the places where movies and music met, and in particular, on scores and soundtracks. We've widened our net in the intervening years simply because that sole focus felt too small and we're movie lovers just as much as ...

    From Bloody Murders To Bridesmaid Speeches: The 25 Best Movie Moments Of 2011

    by Oliver Lyttelton on December 13, 2011

    The great Howard Hawks once famously said that what makes a good film is "three great scenes, and no bad ones." While we'd argue that that's not an absolute hard-and-fast rule, he wasn't far off. With 2011 providing a number of above-average films, there've been plenty of m...

    'Attack the Block' Director Joe Cornish Says Basement Jaxx "Nailed" The Mood He Was Going For

    by Drew Taylor on October 25, 2011

    And More From The Director On The Alien Invasion Film From the moment the lights dimmed in the Alamo Drafthouse where we first saw Joe Cornish's comedic sci-fi thriller "Attack the Block" at this year's SXSW film festival, we were hooked. Since then, we've watched as the film has gone through wild ups-and-downs: first the rapturous response in Austin (where it ended up taking home an Audience Award), to its acquisition by Sony's Screen Gems division, to the somewhat limited theatrical release it got this summer.
