Review: The Host (Plus US Poster and Redband trailer)

Before I go any further, I have to say I just don't see what all the fuss is about… I watched The Host and it got a big fat "Meh" from me. I'm big onto my monster flicks, and love Korean cinema, but I couldn't help but feel totally let down by the movie. I [...]

Review ‘The Fountain’

I caught an early screening of Darren Aronofsky’s third, much delayed and much talked about (Brad Pitt, 70 million bucks, 2002, Australia, tits up) esoteric sci-fi realist love-poem The Fountain recently. Pi and Requiem for a Dream are both great, stimulating cult classics and the idea of this guy making a big-budget Mayan/present/future epic [...]

Poltergeist Remake Rumours Quashed?

Brendon over at Film Ick and I had been discussing the recent rumours of a Poltergeist remake recently. Obviously, the idea of remaking a film of this calibre seems utterly pointless to us film geeks, but nonetheless, we remained hopefull that it wouldn't be dragged through the dirt like so many other pointless remakes.

It will star (obviously) Bruce Willis and the [...]

Beverly Hills Cop IV on the cards

Its the laugh everyone mimicks. Eddie Murphy with his notorious guffaw, which quite likely had a helping hand in his casting as the donkey in shrek?
Anyway, after two hugely successful films in the 80's under Bruckheimer, the franchise slipped considerably into a quagmire of disinterest at the third movie which Bruckheimer had nothing to do [...]

Preacher finally being promoted to the screen!!!

I'm stunned… It was only last night that I was discussing this possibility with a friend afterwatching Pan's Labyrinth. Preacher, is being immortalised by HBO. (God bless those HBO people…)
Ok, whilst with one hand I'm culling the outbursts of excitement at the prospect of finally seeing the Preacher worked for the screen, with the other, [...]

Review: Pan’s Labyrinth

I've been waiting for this one for a while now. I had a feeling it was going to shake up my top three movies of the year, and boy was I in for a treat. It's a wonderful and truly amazing work. I found myself utterly gobsmacked staring at the fantastic looking Digital Projection (oh [...]
