Trailer for ‘Jumper’ AKA guilty till proven innocent

I don’t know who or what it is that made me suddenly quite pessimistic towards modern sci-fi films…. at I guess i’m going to say directors like Paul W.S. Anderson, to a lesser extent Tony Scott and pro-douchebag Nic Cage with his stupid hair have ruined the genre for me. Ok that’s perhaps a bit [...]

Posters for ‘Island of Lost Souls’

‘The Island of Lost Souls’ is one of those “why the fuck haven’t I heard about this?” type films. The only thing i’d seen or heard about it before I checked it out at an LFF press screening was the small blurb and the single image in the festival guide book. After checking it, myself [...]

More bits and pieces from ‘30 Days of Night’

It’s no secret that I’m ridiculously excited about the big screen adaptation of ‘30 days of Night’, and other than the weak link of Josh ‘Pretty boy’ Hartnet, I can’t see where it can fail. The comic books are great, containing some of my favorite artwork of any book I’ve read in the last [...]

Review: The Kingdom

I’ll start by saying the marketing in general, but especially the trailer for new film ‘The Kingdom’ is fucking terrible. I don’t know exactly which demographic it’s trying to hit, or goals it’s attempting to fill… but it misses them all. The fact is if I wasn’t aware of director Peter Berg’s previous work then [...]

A video review of ‘Blue Water, White Death’ from ‘Film Junk’

My personal list of ‘films to see’ is ridiculously long, and grows longer practically everyday.

So Jay C over at Film Junk did [...]

New ‘Be Kind, Rewind’ trailer… well..a new encode

The only ‘Be Kind, Rewind’ trailer i’d seen up until now was the terrible pirate copy from Comicon, and although i’m a big advocate of cruddy pirated trailers (no, really) it’s nice to see everything clearly.. even the stuff that’s made to look like cruddy vhs recordings….
I honestly think this is going to be amazing, [...]

The Teaser for Will Ferrell’s ‘Semi-pro’…

Will Ferrell is not for everyone I can admit that, and his films have been diminishing returns since ‘Anchor Man’ and the glory of lines like “I’m going to punch you right in the ovaries!” which is a shame, and i’m hoping that ‘Semi-pro’ might take him back to that. The thing is with Ferrell [...]
