If you’ve only seen Tina Fey lampooning Sarah Palin or surviving the recent Date Night with Steve Carrell then you’ve missed out on one of the funniest sitcoms of the decade. 30 Rock is set behind the scenes of a SNL type comedy show and weekly deals up a surreal slice of hilarity, taking the [...]
Last week, I attended the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time press conference in a lovely hotel in London. All the stars were there including leading man, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Mike Newell and the creator of the Prince of Persia computer game franchise, Jordan Mechner. The [...]
Moving from one of the most successful television comedy shows of all time to a feature film career has been a rocky road for the Friends team. Jennifer Aniston’s post Perk career has taken a familiar path with romantic comedies strewn left, right and centre, and news comes today of two new films Aniston is [...]
This week sees the release of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood adaptation, starring Russell Crowe as the titular outlaw, and Matthew Macfadyen as the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. Scott is no stranger to epic historical action, having previously directed Gladiator, which also featured Australian actor Crowe. Scott’s Hood is just the latest in a long line of Robin [...]
Oh yes, THR bring us the word from Cannes that Foresight Unlimited are looking to answer the clarion call for another Universal Soldier film, and number four is coming our way. They’ve also persuaded Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren to return to the fold for the fourth film, they last starred together in [...]
The works of visionary writer Philip K. Dick have inspired some cinematic masterpieces. Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall are great examples of directors taking the ideas and themes from Dick’s works and creating some impressive sci-fi films, and while my personal favourite, The Man in the High Castle, hasn’t made it to the [...]
I wont offer a full review of Ridley’s latest, as David has already trodden those boards with his earlier review. But I will give you the highs and lows of the opening film of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, as it would be a crime to experience today’s Salle Debussy screening without comment. The screening [...]
I’m loving the poster campaign for the new Universal Studios movie, Despicable Me. They’re focusing around different holidays including Easter & Mothers Day and using that in their posters. Clever marketing in my opinion. Obviously a couple of these posters don’t really work in the UK as our Mother’s Day is at a completely different [...]
Jon and Craig got to see The Brothers Bloom a couple of weeks ago and came out of the cinema raving about it. If you know nothing about the movie, you can check out the trailer here. The movie is Rian Johnson’s follow up to his rather quirky but excellent movie, Brick, and has been [...]
Here’s a bit of disappointing news. The studio that hasn’t made a bad film (discuss that in the comments below if you disagree!), Disney Pixar has cancelled their new movie, Newt which was scheduled for release in 2011, starting the two-movies-per-year for Pixar along with Cars 2. I guess that will now begin in 2012 [...]
NINJA ASSASSIN, the visually stunning, ninja masterpiece, slashes its way onto Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and Digital Download on 17th May The Wachowski Brothers, the creative minds behind The Matrix Trilogy, team up with director James McTeigue (Star Wars Episode II, V for Vendetta) and Joel Silver (Sherlock Holmes, Orphan, Rock n Rolla) to produce [...]
The Three Musketeers seems to being given a similar treatment to that of Robin Hood in that it doesn’t go too long before being remade by someone or other! When I was growing up, I used to love watching the 1973 version which starred Oliver Reed (he went to my school!), Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, [...]
Remember those two bloody annoying robots in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? I like to call them the Jaja Binks of the Transformers franchise! Well, it seems that Michael Bay has also realised that they were a pain in the bum and has scrapped them from the third movie according to this forum – Shoot [...]
It seems a bit odd that Universal Pictures would release a trailer for one of their movies literally a day before release bet I’ll forgive them! I got to see Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott’s new movie, Robin Hood yesterday and you can read my review here. The movie is released in UK cinemas today [...]
We’ve all done it. Anyone who’s a fan of film has integrated film quotes into everyday conversation. It’s all part of pop culture. The film could be one that everyone has seen, or it could be one that falls under the cult status. No matter which part of the spectrum, there are always those films [...]
Down in the HUG-bunker, we’ve been getting quite excited about forthcoming Brit-flick, Heartless. Directed by Philip Ridley, and starring Jim Sturgess, and the lovely Clémence Poésy, the film is set to be one of the first British features to benefit from near-simultaneous multi-platform release, coming out at cinemas on Friday 21st May, and being available [...]
Earlier this year we reported on the news that Pierre Morel would be taking Dune back to the big screen. I say back as David Lynch adapted Frank Herbet’s influential novel in 1983. Sadly that adaptation did not go well with Lynch eventually deciding to remove his name from the film (it was released as an Alan [...]
