For a pack of wolves, the lads in The Hangover Part 3 sure are noisy. Silent for months, and now louder than a vindaloo fart, we’ve been hit with behind the scenes photos, posters and videos of the alcoholics recently. The first trailer, while funny in some parts, was kind of disapointing. Well, minus that bit at the end with …
Earlier this week, we brought you the adrenaline fueled UK trailer for Ron Howard’s Rush, the true story of one of Formula 1’s greatest rivalries between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Of course though, whenever the British do something cool the Americans want to release their own version (e.g. Top Gear, Being Human, colonization of third world countries, etc) so …
After spending a number of years in Hollywood, practicing his Americanese, Scottish born actor James McAvoy has lately cued up a number of projects in the UK. He’ll play cops and robbers with Mark Strong in Welcome to the Punch and also play robbers and other more messed up robbers in Danny Boyle’s Trance (expect our review on Monday). But it’s …
There’s something about Mickey Rourke’s face that just screams villain. It also screams “Dodgy plastic surgery is bad mmmkay”. The point is that he’s a go-to guy when it comes to being a baddie. Especially when he’s armed with an accent of indeterminate geographic origins. In Java Heat, he’ll be pitting that accent against Kellan Lutz, who some of you …
Y’know, we could have made this three separate posts and enjoyed some link-bait hits, but because we love you guys, we’re wrapping up some short trailers for upcoming films in one post instead. Also, Kervyn wanted to add them all in for his Extras post, but seeing him red-faced before he breaks out some of his Klingon weaponry is always a treat for me. …
The trailer for Elysium – ex-local boytjie writer-director Neil Blomkamp’s second film after the amazing District 9 – is finally here. Some lucky folks saw snippets of this at Comic-Con 2012 and promptly lost their minds. The rest of us have had to wait for that honour as despite the fact that the film has been done, sitting on a shelf, for a …
Thanks to some marvel-ous godly intervention, walking Pantene ad Chris Hemsworth’s rise to superstardom certainly happened pretty fast. However, he’s about to go faster. Much much faster. This is thanks to Rush, the new film from director Ron Howard (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind) and writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, Hereafter), which takes an in-depth look at one of Formula 1’s greatest …
I was never one to drink The Hangover‘s kool-aid. It was a reasonably fun comedy, and it did a great job of creating a star out of Bradley Cooper (and unfortunately also Zack Galifianakis), but I never felt it the second comedy coming, like some folks did. Apparently though, millions of you guys loved the Wolf Pack’s narcotic fueled amnesia …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
