Earlier today I had the chance to talk to Noel Sharkey PhD DSc FIEE FBCSCITP FRIN FRSA, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at Sheffield university. During our conversation, which was organised to promote the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Terminator Salvation, the professor and I discussed the possibility of a Skynet-type system taking over, [...]
A few weeks ago, Codex Pictures announced an animated feature based on Games Workshop’s insanely popular wargames franchise, Wharhammer 40K. Apart from the title, Ultramarines, details were spares. We knew the film would be feature length, and that it would be animated, but that was pretty much it. Earlier today we provided a few more [...]
Despite setting a new record for the highest US opening day gross in cinematic history with an impressive $72.7 million, The Twilight Saga: New Moon was only able to finish third in the rankings for biggest opening weekends. It managed to take a total of $140.7 million, which has only ever been bettered by Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million) and The [...]
This New Moon review is a little different to the rest – I have done it purely from a fan’s point of view. Because, to be honest, the film itself is pretty bad, but from an obsessive lover of Twilight’s perspective its utterly amazing. For a start, as you may have seen from all the [...]
CBS have a great 13 minute profile on James Cameron’s which focuses around his new movie, Avatar and is introduced by Morley Safer. The interview looks at Cameron’s work over the last 2 decades and is well worth watching. With New Moon now out in cinemas across the globe, Avatar tops my list of films [...]

Here’s a brief look at this week’s big DVD, Blu-Ray and Cinema releases, on both sides of the pond. All information is correct to the best of my knowledge (and research skills). From the looks of it, Christmas is well on it’s way… UK Releases DVD (23rd November) Terminator: Salvation Land [...]
The American justice system is broken. Innocent people, jailed twenty to thirty years ago, are now being freed based on forensic evidence re-assessed using modern techniques. People are being imprisoned for petty indiscretions like queue jumping and littering whilst violent criminals are allowed to go free due to technicalities, or a lack of ‘the right [...]
The chief executive of Paradox Entertainment (Fredrik Malmberg) has revealed in an interview with www.Fantasy.fr that a new Kull movie is going into production. For those who are unaware Kull is the first character created by Robert E. Howard (father of the sword and sorcery fantasy sub-genre) back in 1929. Kull is in fact a precursor [...]
www.UltramarinesTheMovie.com has announced the director and writer for the Games Workshop feature length CGI film. The director is Martyn Pick, a relative unknown who has not directed a feature length film so far in his career. He does however have a strong background in animation, adverts, and promotional films, and has apparently landed the job [...]
This is a great month for Blu-ray releases, with a series of blockbusters tailor made for the High Def generation taking advantage of the new format. Terminator Salvation, released tomorrow, is a perfect example of a film given the deluxe HD treatment, not only in terms of sound and picture quality but also in the [...]
The talented British actor who made his name in the acclaimed HBO drama The Wire, has been cast as Heimdall, the guardian sentry of Asgard in Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Thor.

Although watching Twilight New Moon for some may be worse than pulling teeth, it appears to appeal to many as the second instalment of Stephenie Meyer’s ”˜Twilight’ series opened in the UK and Ireland at 12.01am Friday night and has broken the all-time midnight opening record for a film with a staggering £486,210 box office. Tens of [...]
It’s an obvious headline, and all the coverage we give this movie is due to the love we have for the original Lost Boys. As you may know Lost Boys 2: The Tribe didn’t set the world on fire, but that hasn’t stopped two sequels being forced at gunpoint into production, and now the leading [...]
Fellow film blogger Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net has conducted an insightful interview with Wachowski Brothers’ protege, James McTeigue. As well as answering questions about Ninja Assassin and why he opted for CG blood, he talks about his first film V for Vendetta, his upcoming project The Raven, a bit about his filmmaking background, but most interestingly [...]
Season of the Witch is scheduled for release in March 2010, and I am completely indifferent about it. Whilst I do not think it looks completely terrible, it definitely does not look very good to me. This doesn’t surprise me though seeing as how director Dominic Sena has a track record of mediocre-to-bad films, such [...]
I’ve come across some concept art made by concept illustrator Stephan Martiniere back in 2006 for the proposed Looking Glass Wars movie which looks pretty cool. Although these are from a few years back, Stephan has them filed under “Live Action Feature Films” on his official website. The designs look extremely similar to characters from the [...]
