This morning I was glancing around the internet as usual looking for some inspiration and instead I found a whole heap of stupid. It’s the kind of stupid you don’t expect to find when perusing the broadsheets, it’s the kind of Peter Hitchens starey-eyed, brains to the wall, life threatening thickness that makes you wonder [...]
Today Wikipedia along with many, many other websites partook in the ‘blackout’ protests against new internet piracy guidelines and acts being discussed in the American House of Representatives and the Senate. They essentially removed their sites from circulation for a day citing that this could be a regular occurrence under the new proposals. The laws [...]
As Wikipedia would have it (and I’m sure you know), “Battleship is an upcoming 2012 science fiction naval war film based on the game of the same name”. A science fiction naval war film to place amongst the illustrious canon of science fiction naval war films, I’m sure. A science fiction naval war film that [...]
When they announced the Len Wiseman-helmed reboot of Total Recall a while back, I wasn’t too excited. This may have something to do with Wiseman, who, aside from some good solid work on Die Hard 4.0, has spent most of his career directing his wife Kate Beckinsale in latex fetish fest Underworld and its disastrous [...]
Remember the times critics have said that they like it when films let the audience find the horror in their own imagination? To keep that latex monstrosity of a monster in the shadows lest we see it’s horribly unhorrifying latex moulded face? To keep that particularly traumatic scene off-screen so that we can think ourselves [...]
Ever since the release of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome in 1985 cult film fans the world over have been waiting for George Miller to follow through on his promise to continue the saga. 25 years on and just as filming was about to start Australia had other ideas and the shoot got rained off as [...]
James Franco has been making some puzzling decisions recently and by decisions I mean one in particular. Earlier this year he signed up to work with Harmony Korine who amongst other things wrote and directed the all too literally titled Trash Humpers, a film in which men in prosthetic old man masks hump trash in [...]
Focus Features’ new digital distribution subsidiary Focus World has recently picked up Cuban zombie comedy Juan of the Dead for a North American digital release. The film gained Focus’ attention when it played at last year’s Toronto film festival and whilst I won’t be in America anytime soon I’ve got to say that this all [...]
Quentin Dupieux is back! No, I’m not sure who he is either but nevertheless I’m intrigued. His previous effort called Rubber – a film reported as being an exercise in ‘intellectual w**kery’ and B-movie tackyness – was well received and concerning as it did a murderous car tyre with homicidal intent how could it not [...]
Spare us a thought. We pitiful writers (do please pity us) subsist on a meagre diet of set images, teaser images, trailers, teaser trailers and recently teaser images for the teaser trailer for the trailer (see here and here for a hearty dose of overkill). Yes, it seems that we are doomed to a life [...]
As someone who thinks that 2008’s In Bruges was the best thing ever ever. Ever. The release of the first set of images from the set of Martin McDonagh’s follow up effort Seven Psychopaths fills me with unspeakable excitement. That they constitute mostly shots of Colin Farrell getting boozed up whilst renowned oddball Christopher Walken [...]
Ever since the heady days of ‘the lean’ rom-com posters have been suitably low on inspiration. Not a day went by where you didn’t see Matthew McConaughey leaning toward some hire-a-face actress who in turn was leaning toward him. Oh how they leaned! The only thing stopping them from collapsing into a self satisfied heap [...]
Are you the type of person who likes watching the stimulating highlights over the real thing? Do you always want to get straight into the filthy action without any of the messing around? Do you like people going on and on about Charles Dicken’s no matter how incompetently? Well Ultra Culture has recently solved your [...]
It may have a terribly off-putting title (and let’s face it, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever standard terrible) but ‘Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes’ backs that up with an even more off-putting premise. Emanuel is a troubled 17-year-old girl who babysits her new neighbour Linda’s “baby,” which is actually a very life-like doll. She goes [...]
Vin Diesel has pretty much put rumours of a sixth and seventh Fast and the Furious film to rest this week by stepping out of the shadows to pretty much (two important words there) confirm them. Speaking on the writing process of the much touted sixth film (a process that I’m sure is ably [...]
Posed like a Christmas card from that family down the street no one really likes to make eye contact with, Empire have got their grubby little mitts on the first official image from the people behind the film adaptation of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. It all looks rather perplexing. Now as someone who knows nothing [...]
Whilst the trailer looked to beat our cynicism into submission through the oddly suspicious tagline of “fall under the spell” I just couldn’t get on board with Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror. No matter how hard I try I can’t get excited about Panto anymore. It’s perfect for a bit of nostalgia and lovely when you’re [...]
Martin Guigui’s new horror thriller Beneath the Darkness has a new poster that hints (and by ‘hints’ I mean ‘sounds the fog horn’) at the horror to come. The trailer for the film released back in June wasn’t too promising and believing that Dennis Quaid is a sadistic serial killer with his clean-cut All American [...]
Here’s one for Orange customers and information on how you can get the Orange Film to Go this week. Every week, Orange will be doing their Film Night Live which is an online web streaming Q&A to coincide with the movie that they are giving away for nothing (I can’t use the word ‘free’ but [...]
London-based Tremulant Design have created an awesome infographic of how the future might pan out if the predictions of movies prove to be anything like correct. It covers a whole range of futuristic movies such as Blade Runner, V for Vendetta and WALL-E and also covers all of the big movie series such as Terminator, [...]
