This trailer for A MOST WANTED MAN just wants to make the world a safer place
When Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the anti-Bourne of the espionage genre, arrived to much acclaim last year, it seemed to herald in a new phase of slow burn spy thrillers that was all brains with very little brawn.

Paramount once again owns the rights to FRIDAY THE 13TH

Paranoia pits him against the movie deities of both Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman. Yes, he’s taking on the collective awesomeness of Han Solo, Indiana Jones, President James Marshall, Commissioner Gordon, Dracula, George …
Take a better peek at Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel in THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG

Well gents, your prayers have just been answered because here’s a pic of the brand new character, in a proper action-pose. Also, hurry up, because Disney is …
