Watch this Red Band trailer for UNFINISHED BUSINESS like a boss!
It’s been about a decade since I last really, really enjoyed a Vince Vaughn movie (Dodgeball for life, yo!). Sure, in the time since then I’ve often thought I would have a blast with a Vaughn vehicle (The Watch, I’m looking at you!), only to end up as disappointed as a pervert in CUM Book Store. Whether Unfinished Business is more of the same or …
The STAR WARS legal action has begun
Have no doubt, when Star Wars found a new home, it ended up with a company that is even more litigiously inclined than the might Lucasfilm. Disney takes no nonsense, as was demonstrated yesterday. The company got a subpoena against the image-sharing website Imageshack. The offending article: A still from the new Star Wars movie. The Hollywood Reporter writes: The …
First trailer for BBC's series adaptation of J.K Rowling's The Casual Vacancy
After taking over the world as the most successful author ever, J.K. Rowling set out to write stories that didn’t involve as many pointy hats after a series of eight books that has also spun off a billion dollar film series. After the success of Harry Potter it was a given that people would compare anything else she writesto it …
There's plenty of evil robots and pondering in these new images for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
We’re now a mere three months away from Avengers: Age Of Ultron. And much like the early part of the year that was 2012, that means we’re also going to be besieged soon with new marketing…stuff. Which is kinda cool for the fanboys reading this. Marvel dropped a fairly large amount of screenshots for the upcoming film, some new and …
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 won big at the Annies
Bugger the Golden Globes or the Oscars. I’m all about the Annies son! The biggest name in awards for animated flicks was held recently, with Dean Deblois’ epic sequel scooping top honours and a few other awards. In good news for James, The Boxtrolls also managed to scoop up two awards, for production design and Ben Kingsley’s voice acting, while …
This trailer for SALVATION has come along to save you from your misery
Mads Mikkelsen. Eva Green. Those two names was all I needed to here to perk my ears up at Salvation, an upcoming Danish-produced western that sees TV’s Hannibal Lecter swapping out his silver cutlery and particular diet for a six shooter and and some justice and Vanessa Ives swapping out her ancient gowns and wistful stares for… well, actually those are pretty much …
You think this new trailer for JURASSIC WORLD will scare the kids?
Initially, I wasn’t on-board with Jurassic World. Sequels to classic franchises that show up two decades later don’t usually elicit confidence. But then star Chris Pratt just had to go and evolve into the type of leading man action hero that only a Nazi with toothache could not love. And if you were still on the fence after that despite Pratt’s …
