Spotify Playlist: Ultimate Movie Mashup

Here’s my personal all-time ultimate movie soundtrack, which runs the gamut from funk to bluegrass, by way of heavy rock and serene folk. With a few notable exceptions, almost every song on the list comes from a film I absolutely love – fellow critics be damned! 1. Duelling Banjos (“Deliverence”) 2. The Soggy Bottom Boys […]

Film Poster: Iron Man 2

A brand spanking new poster for Iron Man 2 has just been released, which shows Robert Downey Jr.‘s Iron Man back to back with his buddy-turned-nemesis-turned-oh-I-don’t-know, War Machine (played in the sequel by Don Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard for undisclosed reasons late last year). I still don’t know how I feel about Cheadle playing […]

Movie News: First images of ‘Karate Kid’ remake

Here are a few newly-released stills from the forthcoming remake of The Karate Kid, which stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith (son of Will and Jada Pinkett). The film, which is being produced by Jaden’s father, has been re-titled The Kung Fu Kid, presumably because having Jackie Chan star as a karate master would be […]

Movie News: ‘Panic Attack’ creator signs deal with Sam Raimi

I posted about this neat little sci-fi flick by Fede Alvarez a few weeks back on Twitter, but its popularity took a recent skyrocket thanks to the news that Evil Dead and Spider Man director Sam Raimi has confirmed a big-budget collaboration with the Uruguay-born filmmaker. While the story is pretty run-of-the-mill as far as […]

Movie Trailer: Ninja Assassin (red band)

For those who missed the first Ninja Assassin trailer I posted last month, fear not! This latest offering brings even more ninja action than its predecessor, complete with buckets of blood and enough unbelievable slow-motion killshots to keep even the most voracious fan of over-the-top action flicks satisfied. I doubt it’ll win any awards for […]

Movie Trailer: Percy Jackson & the Olympians

This full trailer has just been released for the ancient Greece-themed Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The film was directed by Chris Columbus, who also directed the first two Harry Potter films and produced the third. The film (full title Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief), was adapted from the first in a […]

Movie Trailer: Daybreakers

Vampire action flick Daybreakers is the first mainstream film to be directed by Michael and Peter Spierig. The Australian siblings – best known so far for their 2003 zombie/alien crossover Undead – have snared some big names to bring us the story of a world where most of the population have become vampires and human […]

Movie Trailer: Bad Lieutenant – Port of Call New Orleans

For those of you that haven’t already seen the early promos for Werner Herzog’s forthcoming Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, it’s well worth having a dig around. The film, a remake of an 1992 Abel Ferrara film, stars Nicolas Cage and looks insane. I have no idea if this film is going to […]

Movie Trailer: Grown Ups

  Following on from the rather good Funny People, 2010 will see the release of Grown Ups, the next Adam Sandler-penned comedy. With a solid cast of former Saturday Night Live cast members including Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Kevin James and Sandler himself, the film is about five childhood friends who reunite after […]

Movie Trailer: Kick-Ass

Here’s a teaser trailer for the film adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass comic. I have to admit, I’ve never been a fan of Millar’s output, which I always considered tried that little bit too hard to be edgy, while other (IMHO, better) writers managed it with a bit of subtlety and grace. I hated the […]
