review: Chronicle (2012)

There was a plethora of new film releases this week, from a raft of genres, but on paper, this is the one I was most interested in. Chronicle chronicles the story of three high school boys who find themselves with the somewhat unusual ability to move objects with their minds… or, you know, telekenisis. So [...]

movie news: Watch Terry Gilliam’s new short film, The Wholly Family, here!

As you can imagine, I get a lot of e-mails about movies. I read them, but earlier today I got one that really caught my eye, the subject line was “Terry Gilliam needs your help!”. Does he? Well who am I to say no?! It turns out that he needs our help to distribute his [...]

feature: Heineken wants to Serenade you!

Or rather, they want you to serenade your loved ones… yes. That’s more accurate. I’m sure they’d sing to you if you asked them to though. Well, maybe. Anyway, obviously this is a little different from my usual posts. It’s a sponsored post but then I wouldn’t write about it if I thought it was [...]

movie news: First Trailer for Step-Up 4!

I know this is just what you’ve been waiting for… You’ve been sat there thinking, Step Up 4 is coming out in State at the end of July and I still haven’t seen a trailer for it. Well folks, the wait is over. It’s finally here! Hmm… actually, it’s not really a trailer. It’s an [...]

review: Man on a Ledge (2012)

Man on a Ledge is one of those small films that creep up on you… You have no idea they exist and then BAM! They’re all over the place and it turns out they even have people you’ve heard of in them. As a result, I went into Man on a Ledge only knowing that [...]

clips and trailers: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)

It’s not a film I’ve heard that much about but following its strong showing at the Oscar nominations, I thought I’d better find out more about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. The first thing I’ve found out is that it’s got a bit of a mauling in the press… but then that’s not something that [...]

feature: The Woman in Black – YouTube Ghost Story competition

A while ago, I did a clips and trailers post for The Woman in Black. It looks like a good old fashioned ghost story and I’m very much looking forward to it, I honestly thought that teaser trailer was one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a big horror fan [...]

review: Underworld: Awakening (2012)

Kate Beckinsale is back in her PVC catsuit, corset and leather jacket for the fourth installment of the Underworld series, Underworld: Awakening. Actually, I didn’t know she had gone, I checked out of this franchise after the first film. Not that I’d hated it or anything. As far as I recall. I think it was [...]

review: J. Edgar (2011)

I never knew that much about J. Edgar Hoover, beyond the fact that he was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that he was rather controversial. That really was pretty much it. In preparation for this film then, I decided to read up a bit. He was actually a fascinating character… you [...]
