Nic Cage has angry eyes in THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE teaser poster

My wife adores Nicholas Cage, so I’ve seen just about everything he’s appeared in– from classics like 8MM, Raising Arizona and Adaptation to the embarrassing stuff like Knowing and Next. There are plenty of people online who have stirred a hate-trend toward Nicolas Cage based on, well,...

How much trouble can TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE possibly be in?

Reshoots happen on just about every film you’ve ever seen. They’re built into the schedule, built into the budget of the entire film and usually only occur due to slight continuity or pacing issues that cannot be resolved in editing. That’s why we generally don’t catch wind of...

What’s not to like about THE OTHER GUYS?

I click ‘play’ on the trailer for The Other Guys with caution. Mark Wahlberg pisses me off, I don’t find Will Ferrell nearly as funny as people claim, and Cop Out already butchered the buddy-cop comedy this year. What the fuck could possibly be right with this? Just about everything, it...

New U.S. IRON MAN 2 poster has dark and moody floating heads

Nothing says ‘the movies’ like a floating heads poster. Coverage for the highly anticipated sequel Iron Man 2 has been in top gear during 2010 as the release date (May 7 in the States, 29 April Down Under) fast approaches. I’ve enjoyed watching the abundance of trailers, teasers, posters...

SCOTT PILGRIM’s trailer Vs. your eyes

I was only interested in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for one reason: Director Edgar Wright. His incredible blend of entertaining style and surprising substance have left a great taste in my mouth after viewing his short-yet-growing catalogue of films. I know nothing of the book(s). Nothing of the plot,...

International IRON MAN 2 poster is incredibly lame

I’m still not entirely sure why there needs to be more than one version of a film’s poster for different countries, but here’s the “international” Iron Man 2 poster anyway. It comes at you in a flurry of bad lighting, shoddy compositing, stock backgrounds and obviously-CGI...

GET HIM TO THE GREEK red band trailer has swear words and dildos

I didn’t mind the first trailer for Get Him to the Greek, another one of those vogue comedies from the same breed as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Superbad. I wrote that the trailer caught me in the right mood and I was convinced it might be a good watch, despite the carbon copy nature of the trailer...

Breathe a sigh of relief, TOY STORY 3 is going to be great

The 3rd and presumably final chapter in the Toy Story trilogy isn’t set to hit our theatres till June, however those who were lucky enough to attend the Showest Film Festival in Las Vegas don’t have to wait any longer. Director Lee Unkrich was at the festival to screen a still-in-development version of...

Run away or toward The Runaways

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...
