Here, he’s Joe, a private eye who can’t escape traumatic memories from his childhood, which still haunt him to this day. However, he still feels indebted to his sick mother, […]

Joaquin Phoenix takes on the role of Jesus with Tahar Rahim as Judas Iscariot, and, whatever happens, it’s got to be better than […]
Inherent Vice is a very bizarre film which is difficult to describe, but I’ll dig it a go. Joaquin Phoenix plays private eye Larry “Doc” Sportello, who specialises in looking for people.

Also starring Emma Stone, the trailer shows it to be rather a daft-looking film, but one that the two leads will excel in, and also stars Jamie Blackley, […]
