13 DVD Review

13 movie poster

The original 13 Tzameti which came out in 2006 was a stripped down, black and white tense thriller that relied on its central gimmick of an underground game of Russian roulette as the main draw to the film. It was successful at what it set out to do and remains one of the most tense and [...]

The US remake of beloved UK comedy series The Inbetweeners has been in the pipeline for a few years, and now it’s finally on the cusp of hitting the small screen across the Atlantic.

Samuel L. Jackson Joins Robocop Remake

Samuel L. Jackson

The title says it all folks but the latest news courtesy of THR is that Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast for the remake to Robocop.

Franck Khalfoun has reunited with his P2 writers Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur to bring us this remake of William Lustig’s 80s slasher Maniac (which had a great and gory poster) and this new trailer is effective, brutal and casts former Hobbit Elijah Wood is a whole new light.

Very NSFW Trailer Released – Elijah Wood is ‘Maniac’

Elijah-Wood-in-the-movie-Maniac

This trailer has sort of blown my mind. I think it’s mainly because we get to see Elijah Wood in a very gritty and dark movie for the first time (or for the first time in a long time). Lord of the Rings had it’s dark moments but when you watch this very NSFW trailer, [...]




Is Imagination in Film fading due to New Technologies and a Culture of Remakes?

Empty Cinema

A survey was conducted recently by Bombay Sapphire with the aim of adding to the ongoing debate of originality and imagination in cinema and the results, though not surprising, appeared to point to a contradiction in how those terms can be applied in getting quality films out to their audience. The results from the research [...]




Straw Dogs Blu-ray Review

Straw Dogs - 3D BD

In 1971, Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs was released. Though brilliantly made, and arguably the talented filmmaker’s best work, its violent content and complicated rape scene caused a storm of controversy. It has since been largely forgotten. Forgotten, that is, until now. When Rod Lurie’s remake was first announced, the news was met with predictable outrage. [...]




Only Fools and Horses to get a US Remake?!

Only Fools and Horses

Yes people, it is indeed true! ABC are planning on making a US version of one of the greatest British TV series of all time, Only Fools and Horses. The show played here in the UK from 1981 to 2003 and is possibly my favourite TV show. It has so many classic scenes (some of [...]

Steve Zaillian May Direct Timecrimes Remake

Timecrimes

Timecrimes is one of those films that restores your faith in original film-making. Just when time-travelling film concepts seem to have been done to death, along comes something new to breathe fresh life once again. In the original, Hector (Karra Elejalde) accidentally climbs into a time machine and travels back a short amount of time, [...]




Colin Firth Opts Out Of Spike Lee’s Oldboy

Colin Firth

Will Smith was once rumoured to be circling the role of protagonist in Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake, but that part seems to now be with Josh Brolin. Colin Firth had been much-mooted to take on the role of the villain of the piece (though it would be disheartening in the extreme to see the shades [...]

Point Break to Get the Remake Treatment?!

Point Break

Here we go again people! It’s Hollywood yet again admitting defeat when it comes to original ideas as we hear news that Alcon is to remake 1991 movie Point Break directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. I guess there is no way you can go wrong with an FBI agent [...]




Diablo Cody Polishing The Evil Dead Remake

diablo cody 1

While I’m still not entirely sold on the prospect of remaking The Evil Dead the news from Variety that Diablo Cody is being hired to revise the script warms the cockles a touch. Truth be told, though it’s probably movie geek blasphemy, when it comes down to it I’m more of a fan of Cody’s [...]




Dallas 2012 TV Trailer – It’s Back and Nothing has Changed!

Dallas 2012 Logo

Believe it or not, it’s been just over 20 years since the final episode of Dallas aired in the US on 3 May 1991. It ran for 14 seasons which just shows how popular the show was. The show could do anything including resurrecting one of the key characters after they’d died! Amazing! Obviously real-life [...]

Bradley-Cooper

When Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was tapped to recreate the dark comic-book adaptation of The Crow, fans were a little skeptical of remaking what was already a well-received film. Now, according to Reuters, Bradley Cooper is in negotiations to star as Eric Draven, a role previously played by the late Brandon Lee, who died in a [...]




To Catch a Thief You Have to Remake A Thief

to catch a thief

The 1955 Hitchcock thriller is perhaps not as revered as Psycho, Vertigo or Rear Window but it is a stylish, witty affair and the chemistry between Grace Kelly and Cary Grant is an absolute joy. It is a beautifully crafted film, a timepiece of a post-war, pre-60s Europe and it is the next film to [...]
