Simon Pegg happens to be one of my favourite actors, an underrated performer who rarely pops up in massive films, but always brings charisma and effort to whichever role he portrays, an art that somehow always appears effortless for him, as if he’s merely extending his own personality. While we’ve seen him in all manner of films recently, from the …

It may have been Easter weekend, but while everyone else was at Church, cinemas were boasting an even bigger attendance over that period. The latest figures from the top ten are in, with a few debuts attempting to dethrone the current king of the silver screen, The Hunger Games.

With all the attention currently being focused on The Avengers, which is slowly being released in dribs and drabs before the actual film even debuts, it’s easy to forget that there are other movies based on Marvel comics that are in the pipeline. Iron Man 3 may have a director in the form of Shane Black, and the return of …

The criminals of Gotham are probably all breathing a huge sigh of relief now that principle photography has wrapped on The Dark Knight and Batman himself, Christian Bale, has retired the cape and cowl for good. But what will the talented (and probably sore-throated) actor be taking on next, now the he no longer needs to beat up psychopaths in …

Well, here’s a shocker. Gary Ross’s adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games has been a rip-roaring success both critically and financially and with the hiring of Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) to adapt the second book in the trilogy, Catching Fire, everything seemed to be moving ahead swiftly. But now word has come out that there appears to …

X-Men: First Class was a movie that really should not have worked. Rebooting the history of an established franchise was already a tricky endeavour, but even more so for director Matthew Vaughn who faced a studio mandated release date before any work had even begun, leaving him with a mere 4 months to produce a film. And yet, under all …

With the release date of The Dark Knight Rises getting ever closer, we’re starting to see the final bits and pieces falling into place. And thanks to some eagle-eyed forum members over at nolanfans, we can now confirm that director Chris Nolan’s final installment in his Caped Crusader trilogy has received a family friendly PG-13 rating.

Just last week we brought you the teaser trailer for Savages, acclaimed director Oliver Stone’s apparent return to the high-octane crazy style of filmmaking that made him famous. Now we have the first full length trailer for the film which has somehow managed to up the crazy quota even further. UPDATE: Trailer link appeared to be broken earlier. Should be …

You would be forgiven for thinking that Marvel are on mission to ensure that we have seen pretty much every single minute of The Avengers before it’s even released, as their marketing campaign has been an absolutely relentless bombardment as of late. The latest salvo is this 43 second long clip from the film that not only shows off Black …

I’ve got a theory about Sly Stallone. Despite being somewhat, old, the man has yet to accept this, and is doing whatever he can to avoid showing his age. Some might say that he regulalry overdoses on Human Growth Hormones, while others probably think that he pays regular visits to a plastic surgeon. Me? I think that he’s found a …

John McClane has faced a lot of enemies in his day. Hans Gruber stole his shoes and gave him the worst Christmas party ever. Colonel Stuart somehow  made airlines even worse, while giving Yippie Kiyay a whole new context. Then Jeremy Irons came along and reignited ze Cherman/Gruber feud with McClane, while Thomas Gabriel did something, perhaps nasty, with terrorism …

James Cameron may be back in cinemas with a re-release of Titanic (Look, an Iceberg! IN 3D!), but the big question on everybodys lips right now is, “What’s the dealio with an Avatar sequel, huh?”. Okay, maybe with less slang, but along those lines. While Cameron is still stuck in a decompression chamber after his monumental dive to the bottom of …
