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 [...]

clips and trailers: Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

If you’ve ever read my top 10 films of the decade post, you’ll know that I’m a huge Wes Anderson fan. Ok, ok, I’ll admit. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou wasn’t his best work… but I thoroughly enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited and Fantastic Mr. Fox (review) so all is soon forgiven. Well, Thursday was [...]

clips and trailers: John Carter (2012)

Traditionally, I haven’t expected sci-fi epics from Walt Disney Pictures but after TRON: Legacy (a movie which really deserved to be seen by more people, damn snow!) that view has had to change. The Mouse, it seems, is happy to go to seek out that final frontier… … Not that this has anything to do [...]

clips and trailers: Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)

A new Mission: Impossible film hey? I can’t say I was enamoured with the idea. I hated the first Mission: Impossible film. Hated it. Somehow I ended up going to see it in the cinema 3 times that summer, so my hatred of it became properly ingrained. I never saw the other two. I didn’t [...]

clips and trailers: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1

I have nothing against The Twilight Saga. I was just never that compelled to learn anything about it. All the girls I know would talk about the books and the whole Team Jacob and Team Edward thing – (It was decided I would likely be in Team Edward) – but I just wasn’t bothered. Then [...]

feature: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) – production video clips

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Now this is the one I’ve been waiting for. And it’s coming out on my birthday! Yay! I was never a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings novels growing up. Mainly because I never read them when I was growing up. I only read them just before the [...]

clips and trailers: The Woman in Black (2012)

Personally, I’m really looking forward to this one. Not because I’m particularly interested in what Daniel Radcliffe is up to post-Harry Potter. But because I thought the original teaser trailer was that damn creepy. The Woman in Black is an adaptation of a Susan Hill novel that’s been given the Jane Goldman treatment (Kick-Ass / [...]

Another week and more news, prepared for the short slot I do on Cinerama every Thursday at 7pm on Phantom 105.2. If you don’t have a radio or don’t live within broadcast range you can listen to the show online on the Phantom 105.2 website, or through the iPhone or Android. Or! OR! If you [...]

clips and trailers: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

I love David Fincher. Do you love David Fincher? Well I do. I’d even go so far as to say he’s the most consistently good director working today. Is that going far? Well it’s going far for me… I was going to say he’s the best director working today, but I chickened out. Anyway, the [...]
