I’M STILL HERE clip is awkward, amusing

Joaquin Phoenix‘ sojourn into the bizarre is at its end, and we’re getting closer and closer to seeing the results. This clip works as a good set-up for the tone and direction of the film, and it’s pretty funny, too. Do you call him Diddy, or Mr Combs? I’m Still Here opens in the...

Exaggerated violence trend continues: HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN official trailer (NSFW)

There’s no doubting the trend of over-the-top, exaggerated violence in feature films is making a comeback, albeit with permission to look cheap and be classed as B-grade. Playing on cinema screens in the States right now are  gory newcomers Machete and Piranha 3D, with a slew of direct-to-DVD...

New red band MACHETE trailer ‘HEADS WILL ROLL’ is incredibly violent, bloody and sexy (NSFW)

Don’t you hate it when your husband outs you as a CIA agent and you are hunted by terrorists and your own government alike? That’s the central premise of Fair Game, the true story of Valerie Plame, whose world turned upside down when her super-secret life was made uncomfortably public. The...
