Leave a Trackback (URL). Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Michael Keaton (voices) Directed By: Lee Unkrich One of the funniest scenes in Toy Story 3 involves new character Ken. Moreover it actually involves Barbie disguised as Ken. The joke comes from the fact that Ken’s clothes are overtly feminine in style, so much so that when Barbie’s stilettos are revealed beneath her…

Second and final part in our sartorial analysis of Sherlock Holmes (2009), complete with insight from costume designer Jenny Beavan. Excited by the mystery of Lord Blackwood’s apparent ‘resurrection’, Holmes actually makes a genuine effort to appear neat for once (the restaurant date does not count as he was prompted). Holmes strolls into the cemetery beside Watson and Constable Clark wearing a black single breasted whale cord frock coat, high fastening with stand collar waistcoat in green and gold flower pattern silk, striped silk scarf, light grey pinstripe trousers, white shirt with unbuttoned cuffs, wideawake hat (too wide a brim for a trilby, too soft for a homburg) and round-framed…

Seemingly on a par with Tron Legacy: the movie is the mechanising machine surrounding it. Yet apparently this is no simple case of ‘cash-in and run’, it never was. Disney grasped the mindset of Tron from the very beginning. The name means more than product; it is a lifestyle choice. One might assume that Disney, the entertainment behemoth who continued financing Tron creator Steven Lisberger’s ambitious digital project in 1980 would have taken over the reigns and demanded a gamut of merchandise options to make Lucasfilm weep. Not so, claims Lisberger. There was surprisingly little compromise in their creative/fiscal balancing act: There is a fairly unknown quote from Walt Disney.…

© 2009 Chris Laverty. All rights reserved. A fully long and weird trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has landed in cyberspace. The costumes are magnifico. Check out the HQ trailer HERE Rather than kick Lewis Carroll’s famous novel off from scratch, Tim Burton has chosen to return Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska) to Wonderland after a hopeless marriage proposal. Judging by this trailer, Burton’s Wonderland will be a place of colourful vistas, colourful characters and with Johnny Depp’s bright orange Mad Hatter barnet, colourful hair. A lot of colour then, basically. The costumes by Burton regular Colleen Atwood (Big Fish, The Silence of the Lambs) are awe-inspiring. Helena…

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Saoirse Ronan Director: Peter Jackson After directing one of the greatest multi-award winning trilogies ever and remaking his own favourite film in the world, King Kong (2005), Peter Jackson has decided to go back to basics with his interpretation of Alice Sebold’s ‘The Lovely Bones’. The result is reminiscent of Jackson’s earlier work Heavenly Creatures (1995). Both films flit…
