Strong First Trailer for Cannes-Hit Ain’t Them Bodies Saints with Casey Affleck & Rooney Mara

Rooney-Mara-and-Casey-Affleck-in-Aint-Them-Bodies-Saints

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints blew audiences away at its Sundance premiere, and it’s long been a movie on my radar to look forward to. The early reviews have only heightened the anticipation, coming away from Sundance with two awards to its name, and the film has more recently been shown at Cannes to continuing positive [...]




First Clip from Sundance-Favourite Ain’t Them Bodies Saints with Casey Affleck & Rooney Mara

Rooney-Mara-and-Casey-Affleck-in-Aint-Them-Bodies-Saints

Debuting at Sundance this year, and coming away with two awards to its name, David Lowery’s Ain’t Them Bodies Saints has been on our must-watch list for some time now. Led by Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, and Ben Foster, the film earned very promising early praise coming out of Utah in January, and is receiving [...]




First Look Image: Rooney Mara & Casey Affleck in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Rooney-Mara-and-Casey-Affleck-in-Aint-Them-Bodies-Saints

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints has been one of the most anticipated films I’ve been looking forward to since we heard back in the spring that it would be led by Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster, by far three of my favourite actors of all time. We heard earlier tonight that the film will [...]




HeyUGuys Interview: Sam Fell and Chris Butler discuss ParaNorman

Paranorman UK Poster

Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to Sam Fell and Chris Butler, the directors of new stop-motion animated flick ParaNorman. The film follows a young boy who can communicate with the dead and who must face a battle with hoardes of zombies to save his home town. So during the [...]




ParaNorman Review

Paranorman UK Poster

The best non-animated kids films around at the moment are, without a doubt, the three Diary of a Wimpy Kid flicks. It bodes well then that, to begin with at least, ParaNorman plays out like Diary of a Freaky Kid, with the eponymous Norman and his new pal Neil enjoying a relationship that recalls the live-action franchise’s [...]




Six Of The Best – Straight Outta Boston

boston-at-dusk1

Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted” is doing excellently and deservedly solid business on both sides of the pond this month, with its Boston-set tale of a soft, cuddly and very rude bear and his impact on Mark Wahlberg’s attempts to behave like a grown up in his relationship with long-term girlfriend Mila Kunis. Why Boston-set? Well presumably [...]




Brilliant Featurette on the Stop-Motion of ParaNorman – ‘Hand-Making the World’

ParaNorman

ParaNorman is shaping up to be one of the best animated films of the year, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we find it among the nominees early next year for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. Along with Pixar’s Brave and Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, it looks like a very strong contender. We’ve [...]




5 Brilliant Mondo Posters & 3 Featurettes for ParaNorman – ‘Faces of ParaNorman’

ParaNorman 1

Vying for best animated feature of this year will be Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, Pixar’s Brave, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, and ParaNorman from LAIKA, the team behind Coraline. We saw a great new set of images from the animated stop-motion film last month, and with its release in the US only a month away, the film has [...]




Casey Affleck sets up Biopic of Baseball Superstar Josh Hamilton

Casey Affleck

Casey Affleck may be known largely as the younger brother of Ben, but anyone who’s seen his work will know that the man is incredibly talented, and the future is looking ever-bright for him. He made his breakthrough performances back in 2007, not only starring opposite Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James by [...]




A Brilliant Storybook of New Images for ParaNorman

ParaNorman

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that ParaNorman should be one of the best animated films of the year. Made by LAIKA, the team behind Coraline, the stop-motion animated comedy has a brilliant voice cast led by Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In) as the eponymous Norman, alongside Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, [...]




Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster set for Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Casey Affleck

The Oscar-nominated Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), who’s recently returned to her recognisable self during the filming of Soderbergh’s The Bitter Pill, has a slew of upcoming films on her schedule, and word of a new project has surfaced that really has me interested. Deadline report that Mara, Casey Affleck (Gone Baby [...]




Trailer: If there’s Something Strange in your Neighbourhood it’s probably ParaNorman

ParaNorman Logo

If you fancy a kid friendly version of The Frightners then ParaNorman might be up your street, and there’s a new trailer in town for you to enjoy. It’s a veritable monsterpalooza as all manner of nasties overrun a small town, with only a small boy who sees dead people (and a whole lot more) [...]




Brilliant New Images from ParaNorman show Norman and a Creepy Green Zombie

ParaNorman 2

The handful of things we’ve seen from ParaNorman so far – one of the year’s main stop-motion animated comedies (the other being Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie) – have all been simply excellent. We got a great new trailer at the start of the month, and now we have a few brilliant new images to share with [...]




New ParaNorman Poster Brings Creepy Retro Stylings

Paranorman Ver2

Although there was a time when CG animation threatened to all-but obliterate all other non-live action formats, stop-motion has stood its ground and in fact delivered a good number of stand-out classics – Coraline, Fantastic Mr Fox, Curse of the Were-Rabbit and (by the looks of things) Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists have all [...]




Brilliant New Trailer for ParaNorman

ParaNorman

We’ve seen a handful of things from Laika’s upcoming stop-motion animated comedy already, and they’ve all been terrific. The impressive voice cast includes Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In) as the eponymous Norman, as well as Casey Affleck, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Anna Kendrick, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Apple have put out the new trailer for the [...]

Tower Heist Review

Tower Heist Image 9

In the face of it, Tower Heist is the kind of production which usually sends alarm bells ringing. ‘A Brett Ratner Film’ hardly causes a surge of excitement amongst cinema-going folk, and co-lead (and co-producer) Eddie Murphy’s track record of late has been patchy to say the least. Even Ben Stiller has squandered some of [...]
