Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Review

sherlock-holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle might be turning in his grave at the use of his work but if he had a sense of humour he might appreciate Guy Ritchie’s more contemporary, humorous interpretation of his British sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, and certainly admire Robert Downey Jr’s eccentric turn as the infamous detective again. What is certain [...]

rec 3 genesis trailer grab

After enjoying the first two REC films from Paco Plaza and Jaume Balagueró I was intrigued to learn of their plans for the beginning and the end of the franchise.

The new Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance poster is not at all subtle…

ghost rider 2 poster

The week of Valentine’s Day seems a wildly innappropriate time for the release of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in UK cinemas, with a bike-riding, flaming-skulled anti-hero this is as far from being a date movie as can be. The film is directed by the formidable duo of Brian Taylor & Mark Neveldine and sees [...]

Josh Brolin Sean Penn Gangster Squad

Ruben Fleischer’s past two films, Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less, have been firmly placed in the comedy genre, the former in the zombie comedy sub-genre and the latter in the action/heist comedy, and both were absolutely fantastic. With his next film, Gangster Squad (previously titled The Gangster Squad), he’s completely mixing things up, going [...]

A Brilliant Parody Trailer for ‘Christmas Day’ Mocks New Year’s Eve

Christmas Day Parody

New Year’s Eve is released in UK cinemas right now and unfortunately hasn’t done too well in the review stakes (ours here) mainly due to the fact it has so many characters in that there is no time for those characters to develop. Funny or Die have come to the rescue though creating this brilliant [...]

L’Atalante Review

L'atalante

Jean Vigo’s first and only feature-length film, L’Atalante can often be found snuggled amongst critics’ best-of-all-time lists. A quiet, subtle, and brilliantly simple story of a loved-up but immature young couple, L’Atalante is a Breton-striped dream-like journey through love and loss on the canals of France. After a heavy-handed editing process that mutilated the 1934 [...]

New Poster for Underworld Awakening

Underworld Awakening Banner

Here’s a rather nice new poster for Underworld Awakening which comes from the film’s Facebook Page via Latino Review.
