super 8 face

This past week, I had the unfortunate experience of contending with Hurricane Sandy.  As a result, I lost power.  I couldn’t watch any movies (bummer) so I did the next best thing – I watched movie trailers on my iPhone. (Thanks again YouTube!) I went back and watched trailers for tons of movies – films [...]

Cowboys & Aliens Review

Daniel Craig Cowboys & Aliens

Spawned from a graphic novel and possessing the kind of high-concept, easy-sell title which studio executives must have salivated over upon optioning it, Cowboys & Aliens reaches the big screen under the direction of actor-turned A-list director (and seemingly a regular fixture in this season of big-scale blockbusters), Jon Favreau. This time around, the Iron [...]

Super 8 UK Poster

JJ Abrams, Steven Spielberg and Summer are the potent combination behind Super 8, the 70s set suburban monster movie with its roots deep in blockbuster nostalgia.

Super 8 Review

Super 8

Before the credits begin in director J.J Abrams’ follow-up to his much-praised 2009 Star Trek reboot, the welcoming reveal of the iconic Amblin logo, followed by Abram’s own Bad Robot  is a match made in geek heaven and more or less spells out the potentially mouth-watering symbiosis of what’s to be expected. Unfortunately, for all [...]

On the 5th August, Super 8 will finally hit our shores, riding on a wave of critical praise from the other side of the Atlantic.

Absolutely loving this brand new poster for J.J. Abrams’ new movie, Super 8.
