The Crap Shoot: Top Ten Terrible Films That Made A Lot Of Money

scrooge mcduck

If may seem entirely apparent that in order to succeed you need quality. A dash of talent and invention here, a wonderful peace of transitory execution there, that’s what maketh a movie young Padawan (alas Geroge Lucas doesn’t make this list even though he really should). But looking around us it soon becomes apparent that [...]




The Legend Of Korra Bends Itself A Trailer

NICKELODEON THE LAST AIRBENDER

Having largely agreed to disagree when it comes to M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, I can’t help but play devil’s advocate to the newly released trailer for Nickelodeon’s new miniseries spin-off Legend of Korra (via YouTube). Doing the rounds at this year’s Comic-Con before landing online yesterday, the trailer teases a world set 70 years after [...]




In Defence Of… M. Night Shyamalan

M Night Shyamalan

Last month, Dave Roper put forward a case for the defence of MICHAEL BAY: a director very often reviled but rarely exonerated. Whatever my views on the Armageddon director’s trademark Bayhem, there is another filmmaker who I often find myself supporting despite an overwhelming number of detractors. The man in question? None other than M. [...]

In a sign of the times, Twitter has released a list of this year’s top ten trending subjects (Thanks to /Film for the heads up).

Star Wars 3D

In a somewhat inevitable move, Lucasfilm have announced that all six Star Wars movies will return to theatres in 3-D.

M. Night Shyamalan Open To An Airbender Sequel

The Last Airbender

While the poor critical reaction to M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender – earning the film a solid 7% on Rotten Tomatoes – might indicate that Aang and co. have bent their last on the big screen, the $250 million it has so far banked at the box office suggest we shouldn’t write off a [...]

Despite stories of people booing and laughing when the name of M. Night Shyamalan appeared on the first trailer for Devil, it’s looking more interesting with every new peek we get. Directed by Drew Dowdle and John Erick Dowdle Devil tells the story of a group of people stuck in a lift with the one [...]




Is Premature Sequel Development An Insult?

Last week it was revealed that Michael Goldenberg (who adapted Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) had been hired to pen a sequel to the forthcoming Green Lantern movie. When i say forthcoming, of course, i mean not until 2011, meaning the follow-up has begun development almost a year before the initial film’s [...]

Impressive Poster for Shyamalan’s Devil

Devil

M. Night Shyamalan’s career seems to be spiraling downhill. The Last Airbender, his hugely anticipated adaptation of the TV series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, was panned by critics, and was a dud at the US box office. However, last month we posted a trailer for a film known as Devil. Devil is directed by John Erick Dowdle, [...]

The Last Airbender – Shyamalan’s Last Hurrah?

So the reviews are coming in for The Last Airbender, and boy, it don’t look pretty. There had been hope that it would be a resurrection of sorts for M. Night Shyamalan’s filmmaking career but, as it stands, it could be the final nail. So is this the end for the once loved director? The [...]

Discover More from the Worlds of The Last Airbender

The Last Airbender has been a bit of a funny one for me. I have to admit that I’m not looking forward to it at all. I don’t know why, I think that director M. Night Shyamalan messed it all up for me when he made The Happening. I wonder however, if I should start [...]
