First images of Natalie Portman in BLACK SWAN

It’s been a while since the filmosphere went bananas over the last Darren Aronofsky flick, so it’s about time he served up a fresh one. This one’s got Natalie Portman in it, and comes with a fascinatingly discombobulated plot synopsis: The dark tale...

LET ME IN poster is ironically uninviting

Many words have already been spilled over the perceived superfluity of the Let The Right One In remake Let Me In. What turns me off, though, is the people involved. Sure, Cloverfield was fine, but Matt Reeves isn’t exactly a big-ticket name, so why are they...

Marketing team behind BURIED’s theatrical trailer know how to use Adobe After Effects

First popularised in the titles for Alfred Hitchcock‘s North By Northwest, and recently revived thanks to the digital revolution, the recent trend of kinetic typography is starting to wear thin on me. The Lionsgate marketing team behind Rodrigo Cortes‘s...

STONE trailer reunites Edward Norton and Robert De Niro

Two of my favorite actors in Robert De Niro and Edward Norton come together again in dramatic-thriller roles (the last time being Fran Oz‘s highly underrated The Score), and Milla Jovovich playing a seductive temptress keen to get her husband out of jail any way...

The Weinstein Company have revealed the first feature trailer for their upcoming drama vehicle The Company Men starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Craig T. Nelson and Maria Bello. The film was written and directed by John Wells in...

INCEPTION review

You’ve got to love a good old-fashioned rug. Perhaps a woollen one, faded with age, covering the long cold hall and preventing you from freezing your toes off on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It’s not hard to become attached to rugs,...

recent from Reviews SALT review
SALT review Unlike many who, perhaps understandably, raised a questionable eyebrow when they first saw the trailer for Salt, I was instantly excited. I knew right away I wanted to see this film. Not just because it starred Angelina Jolie; not just because it was directed by fellow Aussie Phillip Noyce; and not just...

New red band MACHETE trailer ‘HEADS WILL ROLL’ is incredibly violent, bloody and sexy (NSFW) I don’t need to type much here; this new red band trailer for Machete speaks for itself. Severed heads, blood-splattered walls, big guns, bare asses and explosions. Appropriately titled ‘Heads Will Roll‘, this trailer delivers what it promises. What started as a faux trailer in Grindhouse...
recent from Casting Paula Patton will be the new MISSION IMPOSSIBLE girl, just don’t call it that, okay?
Paula Patton will be the new MISSION IMPOSSIBLE girl, just don’t call it that, okay? Deadline Hollywood today confirmed that the new Mission Impossible film will not be a sequel, rather (as already suspected) a ‘reboot’, of sorts. In fact, it will even adopt an entirely new title and will not feature the Mission Impossible name. I’m still not entirely sure how that’s...
recent from Reel Thoughts The “leave your brain at the door” argument, and why it’s wrong
The “leave your brain at the door” argument, and why it’s wrong You hear it all the time, often wailed in defence of Michael Bay’s latest crime against humanity: “you just need to leave your brain at the door of the theatre, and then you’ll have the time of your life.” It’s spoken (or written) in a friendly but ultimately condescending manner, and is often...
