Review: Zombieland

zombieland

This evening I was lucky enough to get to see a preview screening for Zombieland. The movie stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg who are both living in a land where every other human being has turned into a Zombie…. at least that’s what they thought until they stumble across sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and [...]

A Brief History of the Hollywood Zombie – Part One

Zombieland Poster

This week, Zombieland sees the light of day in the US. Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg star, as two men travelling cross-country during a Zombie epidemic. Part action horror, part buddy movie, it’s another new spin on the Zombie movie. And like films in any genre, it owes a debt to it’s predecessors. Zombie movies [...]

Judgement Day and Night – All Four Terminator Films Back to Back at the BFI

The Terminator franchise is one of the most iconic of our generation, spanning three decades and three directors and giving us catchphrases, mind-bending time travel plot-lines and a enemy that is the Frankenstein of the 20th century. The cultural impact of these films is evident as we recognise the metal skeletons with the red unblinking [...]

Review: iTunes 99p Rental – Starter For 10

StarterForTen

You know the drill by now. iTunes offer a random film for cheap rental every week, I take the bullet and let you know if you’d be better off buying a can of Coke and a Twix. I aim to raise the profile of the 99p rental, and it’s working already. Just six weeks since [...]

The Ben Stiller/Robert De Niro comedy series which began with Meet the Parents and continued with Meet the Fockers is back with the third film in the series, Little Fockers, and while the dubious title may not raise much of a smile the Jay Roach films were far better and far funnier than we had [...]

So, it would seem that nothing is sacred anymore and it’s all about the money. Friends finished on our TV screens with the camera panning into the front door picture frame that we all grew to love on the 6th May 2004. Ross and Rachel were together, Pheobe got married to Paul Rudd, Monica and [...]

New Trailer for Fantastic Mr Fox

Fantastic Mr Fox Poster

Here’s the second full length trailer for Fantastic Mr. Fox. This trailer really shows off what the film is about and I cannot wait to see it. My one criticism is that Roald Dahl (author) isn’t mentioned once in the trailer. Wes Anderson (screenwriter/ director) gets a mention but the guy behind the original concept [...]

Unlikely as it seems the Governator may possibly be taking the fight to the crab headed killing machines in Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal’s Predators. There’s a script review from Latino Review (check it out here via AICN) and amongst the superlatives and details of the characters, Predators and the epic violent clashes there’s a [...]
