A second, longer trailer for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood has been released, with further footage of Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, and Mark Strong. Considering how excited I have been about this new adaptation, I am considerably underwhelmed. Robin Hood (2010) Official Theatrical Trailer – Russell Crowe Movie HD Comparisons have already been made between Robin…
Tron Legacy – Trailer
The first trailer for Tron Legacy has been released and it looks, for want of a better adjective, stunning. This is just as well, given the impression the original Tron left in the minds of an entire generation. So much so that it matters not that the first film looks as dated as a Christmas…
New Kick-Ass Trailer
Further to the teaser trailer released late-2009, a new expanded trailer for Kick-Ass has emerged, showing more of the cast and extended action scenes. I don’t think I’m the only person looking forward to this film, and this new trailer has only piqued my interest further. Aside from Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who have…
Avatar Review
A belated review of James Cameron’s Avatar. Which is probably for the best, as the dust has now settled on all the hype and hyperbole, even as it is breaking more box office records as I type. There goes another one! Avatar has now officially made $700 gazillion, give or take a trillion. So, first…
A-Team Trailer and Cast Update
A bootlegged version of the first A-Team movie trailer leaked onto the internet last week, forcing WB into releasing their official hi-res version. It starts with hints that Joe Carnahan has approached the film version of the TV classic with the intention of a more serious version, a la Michael Mann and the big-screen Miami…

To me, this is insane news and highlights a major problem within the industry at the minute. Admittedly, Spider-Man 3 was atrocious but I was looking forward to seeing Raimi make amends. After…
Trailer – The Lovely Bones
As the man responsible for the Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson can do no wrong in my eyes. Up next from Jackson is The Lovely Bones, an adaptation of Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel of the same name. This marks a move away from the epics which have cemented Jackson’s name in cinematic history, and…
Edge of Darkness – Trailer
James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar may be getting all of the hype lately, but there’s one film fast approaching which is exciting me the most – Edge of Darkness. There’s one quite obvious reason for this. It marks the return of one Mel Gibson in his first starring role since 2002’s Signs. That’s right, when he’s…
Review: The Damned United
Soccer films have rarely fared well on the big screen. Be they tales of rags-to-riches (Sean Bean vehicle When Saturday Comes) or given a WWII setting (Escape to Victory), something seems to be lost in translation when trying to show the beautiful game on film. Even the faux-Hollywood gloss and carpet-bomb marketing campaign of the…
