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 …
I first encountered Mads Mikkelsen back in 2004 in Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur. He played the sword-swinging knight Tristan, who along with Ray Winstone’s Bors were the only remarkable characters in a rather unremarkable movie.

Frankenweenie: Tim Burton’s macabre live-action short from the 1980s gets a feature-length remake, and is given the stop-motion animation treatment. This dark family comedy centres on a young …
Seems like Jeffrey Dean Morgan has taken some time out of his busy schedule of entering Javier Bardiem lookalike competitions, to come creep us the hell out with this new trailer for Possession. I didn’t think things could get more nightmarish than the poster for this movie, but apparently I was wrong. Oh and kids, don’t ever buy funny looking …
Listen up, ya fraggin’ bastiches! It looks like the “Main Man” is once again looking to attempt the transition from the comics page to the cinema screen. As a long time Lobo fan, this certainly puts a smile on my face. Unfortunately though, Warner Bros has wiped it right off again by picking Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton …
Film classification in the UK is designed to help audiences understand what content is …
