Originally shot in 2006 for [...]

For those not in the know, The Sweeney was a British police drama from the 1970′s, replacing the sometimes slightly twee and parochial style of earlier British police series such as Z-Cars and Dixon of Dock Green with something a good deal more gritty. The original series dealt with the work of the Flying Squad [...]
Now then, I am all for parodies when they poke fun at something that has taken over the world to such a destructive degree that Twilight-mania has swept over all of us, so the newest addition to the spoof-genre that brought us such atrocities as Epic Movie and Superhero Movie wasn’t quite as unwelcome as the majority [...]

We’ve known for a while now that young British “rising star” Andrew Garfield has been cast in the role of the webslinger in director Marc Webb’s reboot of Spiderman, and it now looks like the creative team have started to round up potential names for Peter Parker’s love interest (although it’s not been stated which [...]
Martin Scorsese’s first foray into 3D is shooting right now in Paris and we’ve got our first look at Chloe Moretz as Isabelle. The Invention of Hugo Cabret is easily one of my most anticipated films of next year, I am hooked by Brian Selznick’s book and the cast Scorsese has assembled is eclectic, and [...]
Cannes 2010 played host to the unveiling of Another Year, Mike Leigh’s latest peek into the heart of suburbia and now there’s a new trailer in advance of its 5th of November UK release date. We saw the film in Cannes, and you can read our review here. It’s usually a mistake to give plot [...]
The posters, trailers and pretty much everything for Ryan Reynold’s new movie, Buried have been flipping fantastic and I’m pleased to report the latest, and probably last poster for the movie is just as good as the rest.

Whatever you might think about the Hollywood culture of remaking the best performing foreign films, the US version of Let The Right One In (unnecessarily renamed Let Me In for no real reason I can fathom) looks to be a reasonably good remake so far, with the casting in particular of Chloe Moretz looking like [...]
