In a little nod to the passing of Michael Jackson this week I thought that we could have a look at singers who have turned to acting, since this site is all about film it seemed the most sensible topic for a feature.
While Michael Jackson shouldn't really make it onto this list, it is a list that so often begins with the word "worst" or turns into a list of terrible cinematic moments.

After watching Le Donk at the
The first full trailer for Planet 51 has arrived online, it had a very distinct feel then and looked fantastic. Now the trailer changes the focus somewhat and it goes from something a little quirky to a little more stock, but don't write it off, it's looking really good and a lot of fun.

Predators has its director, and it's one of the names that's already been banded around, Nimród Antal.

Monty Python's The Life of Brian has been effectively banned in Glasgow Scotland for some twenty nine years since the first request to screen it in 1980 resulted in the Glasgow licensing committee giving it an X-certificate despite the BBFC assigning an AA certificate to it at the time.
It's amazing to imagine that there's going to be a remake of The Bodyguard, but apparently there is, even if the original sources were the rumour filled sites, there was still quite a trend to suggest that it was actually happening.
A British hip-hop musical isn't exactly the kind of trailer I imagined I would be watching today when I clicked on 1 Day, but that's exactly what it is, and what's more is that it's set in Birmingham and filmed entirely with non-actors and using local musical talent.
The trailer for Steven Soderbergh's latest film The Informant has arrived online, and while it might not be telling us the whole story, after all it's good that trailers don't reveal the whole truth and nothing but the truth, it is looking very interesting and funny to boot.
The trailer for Couples Retreat is online. The comedy has a pretty good cast including, Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn and Kirsten Davis.
There's a new trailer online for Inglorious Basterds, and it has a totally different feel to the previous trailer we've seen and a totally different feel to the film we've heard of that was seen in Cannes.
