I’ve been looking forward to Tron: Legacy ever since I saw the first trailer in March. It’s not the story or the characters that grab me, but rather the pretty visuals and synthetic soundtrack. Something tells me, though, especially looking at the bike-race-crash stuff, that the movie will be...
Who would you cast in the role of “a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to Los Angeles”…? An actor who can hardly sing, or a singer who can hardly act? We’ll know sooner enough when Christina (or is that Xtina?) Aguilera...
Remember when films were clever and kept the bad guys hidden from audiences until the third act? Like Jaws (always a good example)– they didn’t show the shark until the end, finally revealing the menace in all its glory. I guess that kind of thinking is completely out the window these days,...
If the incredibly unconvincing trailer for Resident Evil: Afterlife didn’t give me enough warning that the 3D-horror-actioner is going to be cheaper than a cup of piss (yes, even though it’s in ‘real’ 3D) then this new poster by a first-year design student will help me realise...
Ever see a trailer that just plain pisses you off? This one painfully uses every cliché in the book in order to keep the film in a safe, marketable target audience. From what I’ve heard (I haven’t read the screenplay myself) the script is fantastic and a lot more ‘brutal’ and...
I thoroughly enjoy a simple, creative movie poster. No floating heads, no loud or unnecessary colours and no ridiculous taglines in predictable places. I was already keen to see Woody Allen’s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger before I saw this fantastic poster. I especially like that it falls back...
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen was fucking atrocious. There’s no finer way to put it. The first film was barely tolerable but the sequel was a horrendous pile of scrap metal that happened to make a bucket-load of cash. The only thing I enjoyed was being able to smirk at the screen whenever...

I’m not usually impressed by the images studios release of their upcoming films. They’re generally plain to look at and don’t serve much of a purpose other than to give bloggers an excuse to post the film’s title in yet another headline (note the irony), so it’s nice to...

I like to imagine an alternate universe or a strange skew in the timeline of our existence where Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart didn’t work on a Twilight sequel together and instead only collaborated on one film to date. That film would be The Runaways, the based-on-a-true-story film about the...
