I am one who talks about the virtues of Superman Returns (Filmstalker review) and how good it was, yes there were faults in the latter half particularly with the child thread but overall it was a great return to Superman, we can't knock it for that. Neither can we compare...
A new trailer has arrived for The Lone Ranger, the Gore Verbinski directed film with Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. I shall take a dramatic pause for a moment. I did like the opening, even if Depp's voice for the character which does take...
While Tom Cruise has been filming All You Need is Kill and promoting Jack Reacher at the premiere in London the trailer for his new film Oblivion was being prepared for release, a trailer that has now been released and gives us our first glimpse of the story and the...
Will Smith doesn't seem to be taking the lead in the trailer for After Earth, although he is in the voiceover it's really Jaden Smith that has stepped to the fore and is up against the perils of a planet where all the creatures are out to destroy him. The...
Star Trek Into Darkness has released its teaser trailer, actually it has release two of them, and the Interflab is all over them, rightly so. This is J.J. Abrams sequel to his Star Trek reboot that took the new for old crew into an alternate universe allowing them to do...
David Grohl is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, a talented songwriter, drummer, guitarist and who knows what else because he's just added another strong to his bow with the title of director. Yes he's a director now as he delivers his first film Sound City. The trailer looks...
I know some people aren't convinced that Tom Cruise can pull off Jack Reacher (I have to ask myself if I really just said that) I know that my wife is one of those people who think that Cruise just doesn't look the part, but for someone who hasn't read...
It's difficult to say much about the new film from Shane Carruth, the writer and director of the rather intriguing Primer, for the trailer and blurb carry less information than those that were released for Primer before anyone managed to see the film. Upstream Color has a blurb that catches...
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is the debut as a director of a feature film for Roman Coppola, the co-writer of The Darjeeling Company and Moonrise Kingdom and of course family member of the Coppola's, and so there's a lot of interest in the trailer. What's...
Now I am a fan of Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, I love action films and I think the man can act as well as be the perfect on screen action hero, so bear that in mind before reading on. When I first saw that Snitch was a film with...
I have to admit that the teaser trailer for Möbius looks fantastic and not just because it shows Jean Dujardin and Tim Roth in it, nor because it also stars Cécile De France, John Lynch and Émilie Dequenne, but because the tone and the style just look so damned good....
I've just watched the rather glossy and fast paced trailer for Now You See Me, a film about a group of high end illusionists whose shows steal from the rich and give to the poor, or rather steal from the evil bankers and give to the good people who bank...
Bryan Singer has revealed the full trailer for his film reimagining the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack the Giant Slayer, and the trailer really does pitch the film towards similar ground to something akin to The Princess Bride but with much more action, CG and budget, and the...
Formula 1 is back in America this weekend with the first Austin Grand Prix, hopefully it's going to be an exciting race weekend for the U.S. fans and F1 is going to return to America for good. If that happens we're liable to get more exposure for the sport and...
Alan Cumming is superb. He's a great charismatic actor, he's Scottish, and I love so many of his roles, I particularly loved his stage performance of Macbeth he did recently but even as Eli Gold in The Good Wife he just oozes on screen charisma and charm and you can't...
I must admit I started watching the trailer for Mortal Instruments: City of Bones expecting some more Twilight based teen-angst but there seems to be a lack of that in this trailer, and hopefully the film itself, this looks tougher and darker and not concentrating on a story of love...
There's a lot of buzz about the film Beautiful Creatures and you can see why, it's Twilight with witches and wizards, a mix of Harry Potter and Twilight. It's all there with the romance up against the future of the world in the hands of the girl. Yawn. Well, not...
Horror anthology film, that hasn't been a good phrase of late and even the first glimpse of what this film was going to offer wasn't filling me with hope for it. Now with the release of the new trailer I've had my mind changed, forcibly. This doesn't look like a...
The trailer for Michael Haneke's new film Love (Amour) doesn't give away that much and I found was rather lacklustre until the moment of the piano playing scene which hits with quite the emotional weight. It's a saddening moment that probably sways the entire trailer. It really is a powerful...
I wasn't all that taken with the first trailer for Walter Salles' On the Road starring Sam Riley, Garret Hedlund and Kristen Stewart, but this second trailer has drawn me more towards it as it reveals more of the stories and the main relationship between the two male leads. Salles...
Alan Moore, the man who doesn't like any of his graphic novel work when it reaches a film adaptation, has decided to try his hand at making films, entering the very medium that he feels has treated his work so badly, something I don't really agree with. So Moore has...
A new trailer has arrived online for Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Wizard of Oz prequel from Sam Raimi and it looks pretty glorious. There's a great cast with James Franco as the magician that travels to Oz before Dorothy and encounters the amazing world and Raimi's imagination looks...
I've just watched the trailer for The Host and I have to say I've seen what I expected to see. The writer of Twilight wrote The Host, Stephenie Meyer, and so you'll expect the themes to be similar, judging from the trailer they are very similar and while the science...
Seriously, could you have imagined that there could be something new to come in a film, television show, book, anything zombie related really, after all pretty much everything has been covered already. Well not really, not now once you've seen the trailer for Warm Bodies. I was surprised at the...
Now I've heard something about Empires of the Deep already, a project that seems to have gone rather awry and the stories behind the production are rather surprising, offering the idea of a project fallen apart at the seams and destined for cult status for being so disastrous. Well that's...
There's a new trailer online for Hitchcock, the film about the making of Psycho and the relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and his production partner and wife Alma Reville during the surprisingly difficult time to get the film made. The great thing about this is not just that we get the...
There was still hope after the teaser trailer for World War Z suggested that this was going to be a complete out action film rather than the documentary interview style of the novel, perhaps it was just trying to sell the action side to those that weren't fans of the...
Les Misérables the big screen epic version is getting closer and there's a new international trailer to keep interest going for the film. Actually the trailer does more than just keep the interest going, it builds it fantastically well. There's quite an epic feel to the film but it keeps...
A new trailer filled with new one liners, more characters, more story and more action has arrived for Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the action film leading role in The Last Stand, the film directed by Jee-Woon Kim, written by Andrew Knauer, and co-starring Forest Whitaker, Peter Stormare, Harry Dean Stanton,...
While the trailer for A Dark Truth or simply The Truth, does show a great cast it is getting a release on iTunes before a release in American cinemas and nowhere else so it might suggest that it's not up to scratch for a full cinematic release. Mind you, while...
