The Green Hornet Movie Trailer – Release Date, January, 2011

So, how do you make an old “super-hero” into a huge blockbuster film? Well you add Seth Rogen as the lead to make sure there is a good amount of comedy involved and of course just like every other movie coming out…you make it in 3-D. I have really begun to like Seth Rogen. I [...]

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer – Release Date: November, 2010

The long-awaited first part of the Harry Potter movie franchise will be in theaters this November. How can they make sure that Harry Potter can unseat Avatar as the biggest grossing movie of all-time? Well, you make it in 3-D of course! I have never read one of the J.K. Rowling books, my wife has [...]

This Week’s Box Office Is Easy To Pick A Winner – To Infinity…(June 18, 2010)

Well, the #1 movie of the Summer premieres this week. The first reason is that only two movies premiering this week are being shown in more than a handful of theaters. One of them will be shown in over 4000 theaters. Even if it weren’t it’d be #1 though. Toy Story 3 will open in [...]

Miller’s poor direction haunts The Spirit

As creator of such classic graphic novels as 300, Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller is a true legend in his field – and he should stay there! Under no circumstances should he be allowed anywhere near the making of a movie, let alone directing it. In 2005, Miller co-helmed the first [...]

It’s not all Greek to Worthington’s Perseus

PERSEUS has certainly come along way since 1981. If these shots released by Entertainment Weekly is anything to go by,  the character looks to be one bad-ass dude in the Clash of the Titans remake. Gone is Harry Hamlin and his ’70s-style mop top, and in comes Sam Worthington and his crew cut. Though, on [...]

Counting on a team of 9 sapient ragdolls

A Monsters v Aliens bout may have already proven a  big hit, but a group of ‘sapient rag dolls’ look set to knock the stuffing out of their big screen animated rivals in 2009. They are the stars of what looks to be a pretty bloody awesome movie called ’9′, being produced by Tim Burton [...]

Hey Holmes, your new movie looks cool

The first trailer for Guy Ritchie‘s Sherlock Holmes has been released – and it certainly packs a punch. The reborn Robert Downey Jnr stars as the reborn Holmes, who it appears won’t be spending too much time looking through his magnifying glass. Ritchie, the director who returned to form with the recent RocknRolla, promised plenty of [...]

Crowe adds weight to Robin Hood movie

I really enjoyed Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves when it was released in 1991.  It was chock full of that swash-buckling action and adventure you would expect from a movie about the legendary hero, but also featured enough new elements to keep things fresh and interesting. However, there was just something not quite right about [...]

Doomsday has all the right ingredients

Neil Marshall’s Doomsday could be likened to a good stew. What he’s done is got a big pot and thrown in large amounts of Escape from New York and the Mad Max sequels The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, before topping it off with dashes of 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Aliens and The Warriors. Oh, and there’s a [...]

Olga an ‘animal’ in new Marshall movie

Now here’s a low-profile film that looks highly promising – for a few reasons, behind and certainly in front of the camera. Described as a relentless action-adventure set in the year 117AD, Centurion is from up and coming writer-director Neil Marshall, the man behind cult hits Dog Soldiers (2002), The Descent (2005) and Doomsday (2008). But, [...]
