Emma Watson and cast of HARRY POTTER visit the Wizarding World theme park

Just to prove it does in fact exist and will be opening soon, Emma Watson and other cast members from the Harry Potter films visited the soon-to-be-opened Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Orlando resort. Yes, a Harry Potter theme park. What more could a Harry Potter fan ask for? This...

These uninspired JONAH HEX character banners should keep you away

These utterly uninspiring Jonah Hex character banners further demonstrate how Warner Brothers are keeping things as close to a proven template as possible. All originality has been thrown out the window and they’re clearly sticking to what has worked in the past on promotion for films like X-Men and...

New poster for the next Megan Fox movie features JONAH HEX

Megan Fox will play a prostitute, wear busty tight dresses and carry small guns (is she compensating for something?) in her new film which also stars Josh Brolin and Jon Malkovich, called Jonah Hex. If you’re like me and don’t read comic books (this is another comic book/graphic novel...

TOMORROW, WHEN THE WAR BEGAN teaser ticks all the boxes

(Teaser embedded below) I remember reading John Marsden’s Tomorrow series in my youth and being absolutely hooked. Ellie and her mates were a bit older than I was at the time but I still felt their hopes and fears ring true on the page: the characters were sharply defined and consistent throughout the...

CLASH OF THE TITANS review: pantheon this

  Okay, I need to make another up-front disclaimer: I find Greek mythology strangely compelling. For some reason the monsters, characters, creatures, symbolism and setting seem inherently interesting to me.

TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE trailer is moody, absurd

The Twilight Saga: New Moon made the original Twilight seem like a masterpiece in comparison — faint praise at best. How will the next inevitable vampire / werewolf / teenage melodrama movie fare compared to its forebears under the auspices of new director David Slade (he directed Hard Candy and 30...

SORCERER’S APPRENTICE international trailer is stupid, predictable

Jon Turteltaub made the National Treasure movies, both of which were terrible, though the first one was slightly less terrible than the second; Jerry Bruckheimer has been known to churn out duds alongside gems in his ceaseless efforts to bring loud, dumb action movies to our screens; and Nicolas Cage is,...

Could PRINCE OF PERSIA be the world’s first good video-game adaptation?

  The Prince Of Persia reboot The Sands Of Time, released way back in 2003, was a turning point in gaming. It had smooth 3D platforming, slickly-animated characters, solid atmosphere and art design, and a unique mechanic enabling players to mess around with time. It was a simple, ingenious and...

Warner Bros. plans to saturate the market with 3D

The descent into gimmicky 3D has officially begun. Again. This time for real. Warner Bros., the studio behind the Harry Potter and current Batman franchises (among others) is planning to release all its ‘tentpole’ (studio-speak for effects-heavy crowd-pleasing stuff like superhero flicks)...
