There Will Be ‘Dude’…

[photopress:Neo_Whoa.jpg,thumb,alignleft] So, it becomes reality. The production I was whining on about in an earlier article has finally hit the trailers scene. The completely unnecessary remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) is almost upon us.

The original internet-quality trailer can be found here, whereas if you want to experience the full horror [...]

Maid, remade and mad

[photopress:batman1.jpg,thumb,alignleft]

News reaches me that Sienna Miller is to star as Maid Marian in the upcoming re-jig of the Robin Hood story. Huh? A Robin Hood remake, surely not? Speaking to the BBC she gushed: “It’s happening. I just found out. It’s the most exciting news in the world.” She has obviously never won a Nobel [...]

Musical musings and Madagascar

[photopress:musical_quiz.jpg,thumb,alignleft] I don’t like musicals. Really, I don’t. Many people seem to find this in some way strange, or an attempt to try to appear mildly controversial. Let’s face it, if I were trying to be contrary, I could certainly come up with something a little more hard-hitting than that. Nope, I just find them [...]

Bunnies, Gibbons and electric sheep…

[photopress:poster_small_1.jpg,thumb,alignleft] It’s been quite a decade or two for Philip K. Dick – it’s a pity he’s not still around to enjoy all the success his books have had when given the Hollywood treatment. I was a bit of a sci-fi fan in my youth, and always had a soft spot for Dick’s work. Admittedly, [...]

What’s new?

[photopress:projector.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Normally, a 65-year-old man touting a bullwhip would be the kind of thing to make me swear off eating cheese before bedtime, but I am of course referring to the latest offering in the incredibly popular Indiana Jones series of movies. James has now seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [...]

Death Proof (2007)

[photopress:legs.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Shit and run

It really must have seemed like a great idea at the time. Quentin Tarantino teamed up with Sin City director Robert Rodriguez for a 70s sleaze-fest double bill, Grindhouse, which combines Rodriguez’s zombie-schlock-splatter extravaganza Planet Terror (2007) with Tarantino’s offering, Death Proof, plus several fake 70s-style trailers.

Guess what? In what must be a [...]

Bond, Bridges, Bale and, er, MacGuyver...

Sing-along-a-Bond?
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The bad? OK. Amy (‘Look at me! Look at me!’) Winehouse was reported by the BBC to be involved in the production of the latest Bond outing Quantum of Solace. The good news? A couple of days later, her producer, Mark Ronson, was quoted [...]

Trailer – Trash?

I heard there was a new trailer out for M. Night Shyamalan’s new thing, The Happening. Starring Mark Wahlberg, it is – somewhat astoundingly – a supernatural thriller. His last commercial effort, The Lady in the Water, was critically acclaimed. Critically acclaimed as being complete rubbish, in fact.

The plot of The Happening takes an environmental [...]
