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 [...]

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 / [...]

movie news: The Raven, The Avengers and Die Hard 5

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 [...]

movie news: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, J. Edgar and King of Heists

No time for news on Cinerama last week, too many films coming out! I only had a chance to cover one of these items on air this week as well. No matter, I’m gonna give you the news I didn’t get to say too. If you want to hear the rest of the panel’s take [...]

clips and trailers: Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)

Another one I prepped for Cinerama on Phantom 105.2, this one’s from a few weeks back so I thought it’d be a bit much to call it news… This film popped up on my radar a few months ago, mainly because of it’s strange title, Martha Marcy May Marlene, doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue… [...]

feature: Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

As you know, if you read my last review, I don’t really like watching trailers in general… but I do like to watch the first ones as they give you a flavour for the film without (generally) giving too much away. Thing is, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep [...]

feature: Priest (2011)

I spy with my little eye…. some kind of alternate future / post-apocalyptic dystopia! If you don’t know by now that this is my favourite genre of film then… I guess you just haven’t read my review of The Road, or my top 10 films of the decade article where I talk about Children of [...]

feature: Devil (2010)

Lot of talk about the upcoming horror film, Devil, at the moment. I have to admit… I really like the idea. A group of random people get trapped in a lift and spooky things happen… is one of them the Devil? Sounds cool. Simple but could be very effective. Course it might not be, but [...]

feature: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)

I have to admit, this isn’t a film I’ve been paying a lot of attention to. Which is ridiculous because I really should be paying attention to it. It’s by Edgar Wright, director and co-writer of one of the best comedy-horror films in a very long time. Love that film. Also it stars Michael Cera, [...]
