This trailer for BLUE RUIN doesn't mean to scare you
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but from what I’ve learnt from movies, it’s usually a dish best served covered in warm arterial blood. And that seems to be exactly the case in Blue Ruin, a new revenge thriller from cinematographer-turned-director/writer Jeremy Saulnier. The movie picked up nothing but crazy positive buzz when it made the rounds on …
Expect to see a XXL HUMAN CENTIPEDE in the third film
There are some films that you should never take a first date to. And that’s something I learnt the hard way when I bought tickets for The Human Centipede, thinking that I was going to go see a cool nature documentary.

Hugh Jackman talks WOLVERINE sequels and inevitable recasting
When you think of comic book movies, it’s hard to imagine other actors as iconic characters. Iron Man without Robert Downey Jr? Thor without Chris Hemsworth? Get out of here!

This teaser trailer for PADDINGTON is an unexpected arrival
Noelle has a thing for Paddington Bear – and luckily, not in a Furry kind of way – so I need to type this up really fast before she comes into the office and proceeds to squee. Yes, squee, as the first teaser trailer has dropped giving us our first glimpse at how everybody’s – but especially Noelle’s – favourite …
A new era has begun in this trailer for TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION
Michael Bay. Giant Robots. Much like everything else good in life (Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, Cheese and Onion chips, Smith and Wesson guns), this combination of slick directing and bombastic action were made for each other. Despite the previous three movies having dangerous amounts of Shia LaBeouf in them, I still adored the first Transformers trilogy. And Age of …
