You know what, I knew Eddie Murphy still had something left and Tower Heist shows that. Its like he's channelling Reggie Hammond and bringing him back to the screen.
Add to this Ben Stiller, Michael Pena, Casey Affleck and Matthew Broderick and you have a pretty solid cast.

New NSFW Red State Trailer

Kevin Smith is another director who has seemingly signalled his intention to retire from the directors chair and take up Smodcasting. Shame. When Smith is on his game he's pretty much untouchable.
After watching the latest trailer for Red State my disappointment in his impending retirement is heightened due to ferocious awesomeness of what is on offer here.

The Ides Of March Trailer

There are few actors that immediately draw my attention to a film. Two of these include Paul Giamatti, who incidentally, I rate as the best actor working today, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
So its a very pleasant surprise to find that The Ides Of March contains both of them.

Battleship Trailer

Well I certainly wasn't expecting that. A movie based on a board game probably won't excite that many people, me included, but the trailer does a really good job of persuading them otherwise.
I'd not seen or read anything about Battleship so was unsure what to expect, maybe something like War Games? How wrong could I be.

The Original Opening To Superman Returns

I pretty much think Superman Returns sucked. It didn't do anything for me and to be perfectly honest I was pretty bored by the whole thing.
So when you find out that a crap film cut out a $10 Million opening sequence you start to wonder just how much money was wasted.

Simon Peggs Secret Film Revealed

Peggs been keeping this under wraps for a while, hinting with anticipating tweets about what he's currently up to. The rascal.
Well those of you who have been wondering may wonder no more as the full details of his new film have just been released. And no, its not Guest House Paradiso 2.

Harry Potter Based On David Copperfield's Life?

This is just shocking. I've always been sceptical of the Harry Potter franchise, I've always thought that the story was just too fantastic to be fiction. It had to be real. This had to be based on Fact.
And now that fact is revealed. In what some would consider the ultimate reveal we find out the truth behind Harry Potter.

Snow White And The Huntsman Images

The first character images for the new live action Snow White film have been released, as well as a low quality picture of the eight (huh?) dwarves.
Can't say I'm that interested in this but with Snow White being one of the best loved fairy tales ever I thought that others may well be.

Intruders Trailer

I think its been well documented on the blog that I'm a big fan of the horror genre. More often than not it lets me down but I always go back for more.
The trailer for Intruders does have me intrigued, it looks to have a different feel than most of the other shockers out there, but I'm trying to reign in my enthusiasm.

Margin Call Trailer

I like a good drama. Something with substance that I can really get my teeth into. Margin Call looks like it could be one of those movies.
A solid story, strong cast and a subject matter that is very relevant today, financial collapse. What more could you want? Dinosaurs? No, fraid not.

Jurassic Park 4 - Coming Soon(ish)

Rumours about a fourth Jurassic Park film have been rife for some time now and although they were interesting rumours nobody really took them seriously.
Until now. Rumours have changed to stone cold facts due to the announcement from Steven Spielberg himself that a story now exists. Crikey.

Knights Of Badassdom Trailer

I doubt that anyone who reads this blog actually carries out fantasy role playing adventures in the park with their friends. LARPing I believe its called.
That being said I think there'll be a good few readers who'll enjoy the trailer for Knights Of Badassdom because it looks like a big heap of stupid fun.

The Hobbit Dwarfs Revealed

I've been deliberately holding off posting the group pictures of the dwarfs from The Hobbit purely because I hate drip fed information. I knew a group reveal was coming so was happy to wait for that.
And here it is! All thirteen are present and correct and look really quite foreboding.

Paranormal Activity 3 Trailer

The first one was okay (just) but certainly not scary, the second one was just plain boring, so naturally we get a third. We shouldn't, but we do.
The trailer for Paranormal Activity 3 has landed and throws up more of the same camcorder type 'scares'. To be fair it could be more interesting that the second one based on the content.

First Set Picture From Prometheus

Its not much but its still worth a post none the less. The first official picture has been released from Ridley Scott's new Alien movie.
Don't get excited, there's no xenomorphs or Space Jockeys on display just someone in a spacesuit either falling or being blown off their feet. I still geeked out over it though.

Escape From New York Remake Cancelled

Rejoice, for today I bring good remake news. Yes the ongoing Escape From new York remake looks to be dead in the water. Thank the movie gods for this!
Its been bounded around for god knows how long with multiple directors and leads attached but today came the announcement that it has all been binned.

The Hobbit Video Diary 3

The Hobbit production may be on a break at the moment, as evidenced in the second video blog, but that hasn't stopped number three from being released.
Less talk and more watching needed here - I've said all I need to about this in previous posts.

The Amazing Spiderman Teaser Trailer

So Batman had his teaser a few days ago and so not to be outdone Spiderman's trailer has now hit the web. Do you see what I did there?
It shows a fair bit more than The Dark Knight Rises yet still keeps a lot of things up its sleeve. Its a good trailer but I'm not sold on one bit of it.

Dream House Trailer

Well .... ermmmm .... what? This trailer needs to come with a warning - If you want to see this film, DO NOT watch the trailer.
I have no idea why this trailer has been released the way it has because it looks to give away the whole story, twist and ending in just shy of of two and half minutes.

Bruce Campbell To Cameo In Evil Dead Remake

While it's good that we're going to see Bruce Campbell in another Evil Dead film, and the chances are that he will be playing Ash, there's some rather more disappointing news.
Diablo Cody has been hired to rewrite the script. Well that just takes away every ounce of enthusiasm (and there wasn't a great deal) I had about this project.
