FilmXTRA Video Review: Shutter Island

March 20, 2010 · View Comments

Now if you’re stuck to see a film this weekend and haven’t seen Shutter Island, then hopefully my review can push you to see it. The reason why this is a little late is because well 1. Didn’t have enough time to see it when it was released and 2. I was sceptical about the horror elements of the trailer. However, this week i made time to check out this creepy but intriguing looking psychological thriller and if you want to know what i thought, check out my video review embedded below. Read More →

Was Green Zone Mis-sold?

March 21, 2010 · View Comments

With a deftness of touch much akin to a US government committee on WMDs, the Universal Pictures marketing department set out to convince us that Green Zone was essentially Bourne 4. Much like the controversial reports regarding the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction however, there were those that wanted to believe, those that did believe and those that were not fooled in the slightest. You can see why Green Zone was seen as a tough sell. The lack of success at the box office for The Hurt Locker, despite its great critical success showed that the American public is not yet ready to explore... [Read the full story]

New Trailer for Best Worst Movie

Troll 2 is a film that I probably saw far too many times whilst at university. It is a terrible film but because of this it is incredibly funny in totally unintentional ways. I had a blast watching it with friends and it’s awful dialogue is very quotable. I’m not alone in having this kind of experience...

The Role of Captain America Finally Offered to Chris Evans?

For weeks now there’s been speculation over who may take the lead role in Marvel’s Captain America movie. I’ve come to realise that any rumour that THR get to hear seems to become fact a day or so after they announce it. Their latest news is that Chris Evans (no, not the host of BBC Radio 2), the...

Trailer for The Switch (aka The Baster)

Originally titled The Baster, for reasons that will become obvious, The Switch is a forthcoming comedy starring Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston and Jeff Goldblum. The trailer appears to pretty much give away the whole film but this looks like a pretty by-the-numbers romantic comedy so if you know the premise you can...

Remake of The Monster Squad Tools Up

It was a sublime and simple premise, perfect for gangs of kids growing up in the 80s. Treehouses, amulets, clues and mysteries, all revolving around the titular Monster Squad and their fight against the very real Hollywood Monsters they idolise. As a kid in the 80s this was a seminal film, crossing the streams of The...

Trailer for Leslie Iwerks Dirty Oil

Although Dirty Oil isn’t the sort of thing we’d usually report on, I thought that it was well worth bringing to your attention as this trailer for the movie looks intriguing. Dirty Oil looks at America’s obsession with the increasingly in-demand product and probably raises a few eye-brows whilst doing...

Trailer for Life During Wartime

Life During Wartime is Todd Solondz’s sequel of sorts to his 1998 film Happiness, returning to the same characters ten years on. If you are familiar with Solondz’s films then you will expect a certain type of sick and twisted humour and savage attack on Modern America and Life During Wartime does not disappoint. Although...

So, the plan is to retool a Michael Winner directed film, one starring Charles Bronson as a killer, the titular Mechanic as he ‘fixes’ things, who do you call up to fill the man’s shoes?

It’s Never to Late to Watch a Classic – Tron

We recently posted our latest Podcast and part of the discussion that Jon and Brendon talked about dealt with remakes. The question was posed on whether or not remakes are good for their original versions. It seems that most source material for remakes these days comes from the 80’s. Having grown up during...
