No trailer like this!
Now this is a trailer! Cormac McCarthy’s No Country For Old Men appears to be getting the treatment it deserves for The Coen Brothers. A fantastic book, and one of my favourites of the year, this looks like a return to form from the directors of The Ladykillers (it still hurts…but least we’ve got half [...]

Stomp The Yard’s mastermind, Sylvain White has been signed up to direct Castlevania (I love that title!). With the success of his debut, studios have been chasing after this guy, hoping he is the next big thing.
Scripted by Paul W.S. Anderson (”Alien vs. Predator“), the drama begins as a Transylvanian knight leads his men into [...]
Hulk Gets Hurt
In what could be one of the most impressive superhero movie casts assembled, The Incredible Hulk (which is technically Hulk 2, but must distance itself from Ang Lee as much as possible) now has another talented performer join its ranks…William Hurt!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hurt will be filling Sam Elliott’s cowboy boots (figuratively speaking) [...]
Preview: Spanish Zombie Movie The Dark Hour
A Spanish zombie movie. Oh my, that’s a new one. I’ve seen English zombie movies, I’ve seen Japanese zombie movies; heck, I’ve even seen Irish zombie movies. But I’ve never seen a Spanish zombie movie before. (Or at least, I don’t recall one.) That’s about to change with writer/director Elio Quiroga’s “The Dark Hour” (La [...]

Lets face it, McG is never going to earn an inch of credibility if he continues to use that MTV-like moniker. Can you really imagine Jack Nicholson announcing the winner of the Best Director Oscar to be a guy called ‘McG’.
Equally, he’s not going to earn any credibility by making bad films, but I have [...]
The King of Kong Poster
I’m a sucker for documentaries that explore eccentric folk, such as the brilliant Wordplay (2006) which followed a bunch of charming people who competed in crossword competitions. Sure that sounds boring on paper, but the enthusiasm of the subjects involved was infectious, and for that reason I’m also looking forward to The King of Kong: [...]

TIME magazine has an article about forthcoming Pixar flicks, which are next on the schedule after Ratatouille. Now the trailers for Cars didn’t impress me enough to want to check it out (and that may be a mistake), but overall I’m a firm supporter of Pixar. I consider the original Toy Story, Finding Nemo and [...]

After watching Commando recently, it occurred to me that they really don’t make films like that anymore. With exception to Crank, it has been a while since I’ve seen a really silly action film that actually delivers its promise to be…well fun.
But with the new Shoot “˜Em Up trailer on IGN, I’ve got to [...]
Movie Preview: You Kill Me (2007)
Quirky Hitman movies are a dime a dozen. Just throw a rock into your local Blockbuster and you’re liable to land one or two or a dozen in one landing. But the new movie “You Kill Me” has an ace up its sleeve — director John Dahl (”The Last Seduction”). If you know Dahl’s name, [...]

Whoever has the money has the power
The Lookout marks Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank’s (Out of Sight) directorial debut. The intelligent crime drama is centered around Chris (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mysterious Skin), a oncepromising high school athlete who becomes mentally impaired after a tragic accident. As he tries to maintain a normal life, he takes a [...]
