Articles in Movie Previews
Feeling Star Struck? You probably just feel ill…
Sometimes film announcements which seem so obvious that they will happen, still surprise me. The very worst ideas that you know will be box office catastrophes and offend the sane movie-going public, are continually being made and there is not a thing to do about them.
So that’s the lead-up for news that Simon Cowell is [...]
Preview: Emily Blunt in Wind Chill
Movies like “Wind Chill”, if done right, with really good actors and a good script, could be really good. And if it doesn’t have one or two or any of those things? We’re talking about an hour and a half of pure torture — for the audience. Gregory Jacobs has chosen wisely in his cast, [...]

I have to admit, for a movie that has had such a history of production problems, director problems, pacing problems, studio problems — basically, a heck of a lot of problems — the recently released trailer for Nicole Kidman’s “The Invasion” looks pretty darn good. I got a very good feel for the paranoia and [...]

Y: The Last Man is one of my favourite comic book series. Written by Brian K. Vaughan, it’s an entertaining romp with some terrific characters and a wonderful set-up. It’s not exactly intellectually engaging, but at the very least it’s an incredibly fun story. The basic premise is:
Suddenly - and without warning - a mysterious [...]
Carrey tries to be funny again in ‘Yes Man’
It has been less than a week when I happened to mention that Jim Carrey had signed up to play every single character in a new CGI version of A Christmas Carol (a slight exaggeration I admit). But now another of his new projects has been announced and this one is called ‘Yes Man‘.
In a [...]
Preview: All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
How great is the poster for the new “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane” horror look? (thumbnail to your left, bigger version below, along with the trailer) Nice! Although I shouldn’t call “Mandy Lane” (which seems to be the new title it’s going with, or should, as “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane” gives you [...]

When I first saw Jonah Hill in The 40 Year Old Virgin, playing a slightly freaky guy trying to buy disco boots, I had absolutely no idea that there was a future for him as a leading man. But then again the same could have been said for Seth Rogen and many other Judd Apatow [...]

I know people who hates Albert Pyun with a passion. I don’t know why, I never understood it, because unlike another much-hated director (cough*Uwe Boll*cough), Pyun has done a couple of movies that I really liked. “Cyborg”? Loved it. “Nemesis”? Loved it. But apparently I’m the only one, because most people hate those movies. Eh, [...]

I believe this was rumoured a few days ago, when Bob Hoskins decided to spread early Christmas cheer, by announcing Robert Zemeckis’ latest project (the interesting thing is Bob Hoskins is not officially signed up to be in the film, so maybe he’s just excited for pal, or desperately wants a role…but the fact he [...]

While I happen to be one of those guys that reckons The Simpsons has lost nearly all the charm it once possessed many years ago, there will always be a warm place in my heart for the show. In its ‘glory days’, I absolutely loved everything about the folks from Springfield, so while I’m not [...]

I’ve never met the guy, or seen the movie, but there is something about Mr Magorium that I just don’t like. Sure Dustin Hoffman may very well be one of the greatest actors around, but that doesn’t change the fact that Magorium and his Emporium look rather annoying. Films like Toys try and show us [...]

Auteur filmmaker Brett Ratner has been signed up to direct the biography of entrepreneur, Hugh Hefner. Hefner most famous for playing the President in Toxic Avenger IV is not only a brilliant actor but also the founder of a popular magazine for men.
The wonderfully titled ‘Playboy’ will follow the ups and downs of one of [...]
