Six Of The Best – American Football Films

Touchdown

With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching, it’s time to get a little NFL-centric. The Super Bowl is not just about splendid TV spots for upcoming cinema releases, there is a game to be played too. Many of us on this side of the North Atlantic rather look down our noses at American Football. Some dismiss [...]

Hollywood Unhinged

The Artist

Fearing a remake of The Artist and wondering whether Meryl Streep could take Robert Downey Jr in a fight. I’m brainstorming crazy stuff that Tom Cruise might jump off. For a movie. Obviously. Why? Well, you can bet somebody, somewhere, with a lot more power and influence than me is doing just that. Maybe I [...]

Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough Added To Tom Cruise Sci-Fi Project

Olga Kurylenko

For now, it is simply “Untitled Tom Cruise Sci-Fi Project” (or Joseph Kosinski Project, depends on how actor or director-centric you are). Previously it was Oblivion, or Horizons (both perfectly serviceable in my view, though perhaps a touch generic), but regardless of its name, it is moving ahead and female characters are being cast. The [...]

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Review

Mission Impossible 4 - Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise

For the first 75 minutes or so, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol thumps along, rushing from set piece to set piece so quickly it barely gives the audience time to think. As we crash from a prison escape to a catastrophe at the Kremlin to a vertigo-inspiring sequence in Dubai, there’s little time to think, and [...]

MIssion Impossibe Ghost Protocol brad bird directing tom cruise

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is nearly upon us, and with it the live-action debut of director Brad Bird. So far his animated efforts, The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille have been very nearly flawless, and while you’ll see in our review of the film – due later this week – we had a few [...]

Jeremy Renner Talks Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Steve McQueen Biopic

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol - Jeremy Renner

The fridge is full of sprouts, the pine needles are piling up around the tree, and the once chocolate-packed advent calendar is now nearly empty. It can mean only one thing. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is nearly upon us. Recently we got a chance to speak to Jeremy Renner, one of very few actors who [...]

First Trailer And Poster Of Rock Of Ages Are Absolutely Brilliant

Rock of Ages poster

We got our first look at Adam Shankman’s upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical, Rock of Ages, back in the summer with a great photo of Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand looking the part, followed swiftly by one of Tom Cruise looking awesome on stage. The first trailer and poster for the film have [...]

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Poster

Absolutely love this poster for Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol that comes courtesy of IGN.

The Outsiders (1983) – Bluray Review

The Outsiders

In 1960′s Oklahoma the leather and denim-clad Greasers and the richer, preppy Soc’s (pronounced “So-shers”) are constantly and at times literally at each others throats. As their confrontations escalate, a tragic turn of events forces Greasers Johnny (Ralph Macchio) and Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) to flee the town and hide out, until further tragedy brings [...]

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Featurette – Simon Pegg

Mission Impossible 4 - Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise

Paramount have spent most of today releasing new featurettes for their new movie, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol and one that doesn’t seem to have been picked up is this fabulous one showcasing what we can expect from Benji Dunn aka Simon Pegg in the movie. Turns out that Simon actually sings the theme song to [...]

Six Of The Best – Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg

Spielberg’s been out of the director’s chair for a little while (since Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls) but is making up for lost time by putting out action-adventure spectacle (Tintin) and serious drama (War Horse) in short succession. It’s like 1993 all over again. In honour of Spielberg returning to action, here are six of [...]

New Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Trailer

We had ourselves a nice new poster for the latest slice of Mission: Impossible a couple of days ago and today a trailer is unleashed on a not unsuspecting world. Two things make this fourthquel* worth waiting for and those are 1) Brad and 2) Bird. Certainly it’ll be fun to see Tom Cruise hanging [...]

This Friday, we’re going to get to see 20 minutes of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, tomorrow the trailer comes out and today, ahead of both these treats, MSN have released this new featurette from the movie focusing on the stunts that Ethan Hunt himself, Tom Cruise carried out on the tallest building in the world [...]

New Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Poster

It’s another poster for the Brad Bird directed installment of the ongoing Mission: Impossible series and instead of a fiery background to Tom Cruise’s hoodie moment there’s a good look at the cast who join Cruise’s Ethan Hunt for another outing for the IMF team. Yahoo had this poster first and it lines Simon Pegg [...]

This year’s NFL league game at Wembley Stadium takes place this weekend against the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and top coincide with the event, they’ve also hired out Trafalgar Square for a rather special screening of 1996 movie starring Tom Cruise and Renée Zellweger, Jerry Maguire.

Japanese Poster & TV Spot – Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol

MI4-japan

I’m not sure what the consensus is these days regarding the M:I franchise. I loved the first and third films, thought the second was a bit duff and am thoroughly looking forward to Brad Bird’s live-action debut for Ghost Protocol. What does everyone else think? Sure, the whole hanging off a high building thing has [...]

New Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol IMAX Poster

mission impossible ghost protocol imax poster

It has proved an enduring action movie franchise thus far and the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible series has Tom Cruise back for another (perhaps his final?) outing as Ethan Hunt. One of the more daring set pieces of Brad Bird’s film is sure to be the one which features heavily in the advertising [...]

Jessica Chastain Joins Tom Cruise For Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Film Horizons

Jessica Chastain

Tom Cruise is a man who often has more than one project in the works at any one time, and along with having Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Rock of Ages both in the can, we’ve been hearing all about the recent casting for who will join Cruise on the upcoming adaptation of Lee [...]

Richard Jenkins Joins the Cast for Tom Cruise Vehicle, One Shot

richard-jenkins

Tom Cruise naysayers can at least take comfort that the rest of the cast earmarked for the adaptation of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novel, One Shot, are shaping up nicely and now another solid name has been added to the mix. Venerable character actor Richard Jenkins (last seen on UK screens as Justin Timberlake’s Alzheimer’s-suffering [...]
