We will return soon.

You stay classy  ..... Planet Earth.

I Melt With You Trailer

I came across this trailer today for a movie called I Melt With You. I'd not heard a single thing about this but the synopsis really grabbed my attention so I tracked it down.

It has a hint of Dreamcatcher mixed with Very Bad Things and looks like it could be a very good, yet trippy, ride.

New Bond Movie Called Skyfall?

There's rumours flying around at the moment surrounding the potential name of James Bond's 23rd movie outing.

The world wide web (its on computers for people who are unsure where to find it) has it that Skyfall will be the title and it'll only be a matter of time before its officially announced.

New Tintin Trailer

I've been openly sceptical about the upcoming Tintin movie. For me the motion capture didn't seem realistic enough and it all felt just a little too fake.

Well, the latest trailer has landed and this is much more like it. Fluid and exhilarating, this is the trailer I've been waiting for.

Review: Red State (15) ★★★

Plot
Set in Middle America, a group of teens receive an online invitation for sex, though they soon encounter fundamentalists with a much more sinister agenda.

Review 
When Kevin Smith announced a couple of years back that his next project would be a low budget horror movie, the legion of fans that adore him became instantly intrigued.

Russell Crowe As Jor El

I've kinda dug the way this new Superman movie seems to be turning out at the moment. They appear to be trying for something a little different than before and I respect that. So I had to post this.

Russell Crowe has been snapped in full costume as Supe's dad Jor El. As with the Catwoman reveal, I don't consider this a spoiler as he'll probably end up on a poster anyway.

The Fly 3

Now before you get up in arms and decry this, let me finish. Yes, there was a Fly 2. Yes, it was abysmal and you have every right to be afraid, very afraid of a sequel.

But what if I told you that this was a sequel written by David Cronenberg himself and would be more of a direct sequel to his remake than the other? Thought that might interest you.

Zoolander 2 Details

It took me a while to come round to Zoolander. When I first saw it, I really didn't 'get it'. The humour lost me and I didn't take to it at all.

Finally, after a couple more viewings, I started to give in to it and now enjoy the film. It's not great by any means but enjoyable nonsense none-the-less.

Review: Melancholia (15) ★★★★

Plot
Two sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide into the Earth.

Review
Love him or hate him, Lars Von Trier makes films that get under your skin. It’s indisputable. It’s a fact.

Kid's Reaction To Empire Strikes Back Reveal

Love this. It's an absolute joy to behold. I'm jealous of this kid not knowing what is coming. Not knowing that the moment this spoiler is revealed it'll change the way he watches these movies again. And he will.

The same goes for his sister (ironically). She too shows a look of absolute astonishment. What a great video.

MacReady Joins Django Unchained

The last time Kurt Russell joined forces with Quentin Tarantino, it was for the unholy mess that was Death Proof. A film so bad it actually sits in my top ten worst films ever. Yes, that bad.

Now with Kevin Costner dropping out to due to 'scheduling conflicts' Russell has jumped on board to play the part Ace Woody, a sadistic plantation manager who takes pleasure in torturing slaves.

Contraband Trailer

I've said time and time again that I like a good old fashioned action thriller. Something to get my teeth into as well as mindless action and throwaway one liners.

Well the trailer for Mark Wahlberg's new movie, Contraband, has landed and it looks like it could deliver everything I want.

Paranormal Activity 3 Trailer

I'm still not sold on the Paranormal Activity franchise. The first was, well, okay I guess - certainly not scary - and the second was one of the most boring films I've ever seen. And not scary.

So here's number three. Have they learned anything? Well the trailer makes it look like there could be a lot more action then the previous two .... but...

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Trailer

Sometimes judging sentiment can be a hard thing. If you go too far the end product can feel manipulative but get it just right and your're onto a winner.

Well the trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly loss currently sits in the middle of the above. We have a dead father, a broken hearted mother and 9/11 all pivoted on one small boy. I'm already welling up.

Official Plot Released For Prometheus

They've been teasing us for some time about the plot details for Prometheus, Ridley Scott's Alien follow up, but now the studio have released the official details.

I posted a story about a supposed plot leak a few months back but this, as far as most people are aware, is now the real deal.

So here goes:

The BFG Movie

If, like me, your childhood book of choice was any by Roald Dahl then this story may be of interest. If you didn't read as a child, well your probably too busy drinking White Lightning to read this.

There's been a plethora of Dahl adaptations, from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory to Fantastic Mr Fox but, apart from a cartoon back in the late eighties, we've not seen the BFG on the big screen.

Dr Sleep - The Shining Sequel

Although this story isn't strictly movie news it does have a tenuous link to Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece The Shining.

It would appear that Stephen King has started work on a sequel to his novel The Shining entitled Dr Sleep. And you'll never guess what it's about.

Review: Attack The Block (15) ★★

Plot
A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.

Review
On paper, Attack The Block should be a film that I'd enjoy. A film that gives little nods and winks to classics like Aliens, The Thing, Predator and, to an extent, Critters.

Man On a Ledge Trailer

Bit of an oddity this one. I'm not sure whether not to slap a spoiler alert on this post due to the content of the Man On A Ledge trailer. It does seem to give a lot away - so yeah - possible spoilers ahead.

There's a pretty decent cast on offer here, although Elizabeth Banks seems to be a little mis-cast in her role. Never-the-less this could be a decent little thriller.

New Dark Shadows Pictures

I have to admit to being pretty clueless about Dark Shadows. I know nothing about the TV show and had no idea what it was all about. I'd heard Tim Burton and Johnny Depp were involved but remained pretty ignorant.

Anyway, a few pictures have cropped up (curtsey of Empireonline) so I thought I'd look into this further. Turns out that this could actually be pretty good.
