The Last Exorcism

The Last Exorcism blends belief, doubt and humour to produce some seriously scary cinema. Until the dubious ending.

The Switch

Ill-conceived but entertaining, the year's second sperm donor rom-com leaves no embarrassing stains.

Brief Encounters: The Last Exorcism

We chat to director Daniel Stamm and producer Eli Roth about religion, possession & bashing cats to death.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Mature, childish and one of the most energetic things ever put on celluloid, Scott Pilgrim speaks to its audience. It says words like: Love. Life. Nintendo. And Canada.

The Girl who Played with Fire

The Girl who Played with Fire slightly dampens expectations, but Rapace's fiery heroine stops the thriller fizzling out.

An Education: Cinema's Top Syllabus

With kids back to school and education funding cut, what's the best way to educate your child? Cinema.

Salt

With its ballsy female hero and well-paced hokum, Salt is a high-octane burst of pure nonsense. Sequel please.

Brief Encounters: Noomi Rapace

The real Girl with the Dragon Tattoo chats about motorbikes, piercings and that tattoo...

The Illusionist

A beautiful love letter to old-school magic, The Illusionist is a delicate and bittersweet pleasure.

Bad Science

With The Human Centipede in cinemas, our own Dr Pearson asks if Hollywood’s evil scientists have ever been 100% accurate.

The Expendables

Thick, violent and incredibly butch, Sylvester Stallone has made the perfect action man's movie: a film so bad it's brilliant. If only he could tell the difference.

The Secret in Their Eyes

For all its false hairpieces, The Secret in their Eyes is 11,650 feet of genuinely gripping celluloid. Long-winded, methodical, and completely absorbing.

New Let Me In Clip and Stills Online Print E-mail
Written by Ivan Radford

Still unsure about Matt Reeves remaking Let the Right One In? Maybe a spot of bloody murder will convince you, thanks to a new clip which showcases a shifty Richard Jenkins.


Taking a leaf out of Zodiac's book, it sees a young guy getting bumped off in a car - it's a long way from stringing people up in the woods and spilling their blood on the snow, but it certainly has its own chilling charm.


Made under the watchful eyes of Hammer Films, the remake of Tomas Alfredson's beautiful piece of Swedish perfection is certainly dividing audiences. And that's an understatement. But with a cast that includes Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smitt-McPhee, I'm honestly excited about this. Despite the fact that I'm also completely against it. I hate being torn between the two - I blame the hormones.


Let Me In is released on Friday 5th November. Check out the trailer over here or read on for the new video. We've even thrown in the new pictures too. Do they change your mind? It may be pointless, but it might also be really, really good. I'm going for the latter.

Love and Other Drugs Trailer Online Print E-mail

Remember Valentine's Day? That film that came out and ruined everyone's favourite fake holiday? Well, here's the one for next year. Except Love and Other Drugs actually looks good. It's got Jake Gyllenhaal in it. And judging from the film's new trailer, he looks very good.


Gyllenhaal plays a playboy pharmaceutical rep called Jamie - he's got a good career, loads of ladies, and his company has just launched that famous little blue miracle pill. Then, in walks a woman who looks a lot like Anne Hathaway. Let's call her Maggie. Now Maggie is after the same thing: carefree sex. And probably money. Either way, she knows what Jamie really wants: "an hour or two of relief from the pain of being you". Zing.


Oozing with Gyllenhaal's charm and full of naughty references to sex, the rom-com no doubt comes with some kind of spiel about it all being about the ultimate drug: love. But this isn't just any rom-com. This is a rom-com directed by Edward Zwick. The guy who gave us swords and guns in The Last Samurai and angry Jews in Defiance.


So, from the director of Blood Diamond, here's Love and Other Drugs. A film about what romance is really all about: viagra. It's out in the UK next February. You can guess which date. The trailer's in our videos section, but you can read on for the full thing.

Limited Edition Inception Briefcase Revealed Print E-mail

With Inception still blazing a box office trail across the UK, Warner Home Video have announced details of Inception's impending DVD and Blu-ray release. Which will, of course, come with a big shiny silver briefcase. 


That's the limited edition version. The boxset will contain the expected Triple play pack (Blu-ray, DVD, plus digital copy) but also your own pretty Spinning Top, a Dream Machine Leaflet and FOUR (count 'em, four) art cards.


That whole bundle will set you back £39.99 when it hits shelves on Monday 6th December.


Need your Inception fix before then? Well, there's a somewhat special Q&A happening down at Apple's store on Regent Street. Visual Effects Supervisor Paul Franklin will be there to discuss the mind-blowing effects in Nolan's brain-bending blockbuster.


He's the co-founder of London-based Double Negative VFX, a company who really are at the heart of the industry - they've done everything from Cloverfield and Batman Begins to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Hell, Paul even got nominated for an Oscar for The Dark Knight.


That's happening Wednesday 8th September at 7pm - no tickets required, just turn up and drool at the iPads.


Meanwhile, would you pay £40 for a big shiny briefcase? Two people on Twitter have so far said yes. You can pre-order the DVD from today. Or beg them to borrow their spinning tops later.

McAvoy and Cruise Targeted for Mountains of Madness Print E-mail

You'd think that Guillermo Del Toro would be happy enough with the news that his pet project was going ahead. But now he's finally able to adapt H.P Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, Del Toro's at loggerheads with Universal over who should star in it: James McAvoy or Tom Cruise.


Set in the 1930s, Lovecraft's novel sees geologist William Dyer uncover unspeakable and horrific things at the South Pole on an Antarctic expedition. A role that Chris Pine was also considered for, Del Toro seems keen on Cruise since they discussed the idea of a new version of Van Helsing.


Universal, meanwhile, want James McAvoy to take the lead, providing a younger face for the fantasy film. McAvoy is about to start filming with Matthew Vaughn as Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men: First Class. Cruise is soon to shoot Mission Impossible 4 (which will probably end up called something like Mission 4mpossible). Crucially, both actors would be available come May 2011, when Del Toro's production will kick off.


At the Mountains of Madness is being produced by James Cameron and will be shot in 3D. Expect him to weigh in at some point with his opinion and "blast" one of the actors. He seems to like blasting at the moment.

 

 
Jon Hamm Will Have Friends with Kids Print E-mail

Not content with ruling Mad Men as eternally sexy Don Draper, Jon Hamm is continuing his evil plan to appear in EVERYTHING. The latest film to feature a whole lot of Hamm? The comedy drama Friends with Kids.


It's written by Jennifer Westfeldt - the acting/writing/producing powerhouse who gave us Kissing Jessica Stein and Ira & Abby. Hamm previously appeared in both of Westfeldt's projects, and also now happens to be her boyfriend. Talking to Showbiz411 at the Emmys, Hamm and Westfeldt announced their plan to team up once more. In the (ahem) professional sense of the word.


There's no details about the plot, but the script was previewed in a reading last month at a small literary festival. Westfeldt is also hoping to secure Anne Hathaway and Kristen Wiig as co-stars for the movie, which would boost the quality of the cast even higher.


The aim is to get Friends with Kids shot before the next series of Mad Men starts up again. After which Jon Hamm will continue to star in EVERYTHING. Because A Single Man, The A-Team, The Town, Sucker Punch, Shrek Forever After, and 30 Rock just isn't enough Don Draper to go around. The sad truth being that it actually isn't.

Viral Site Launches for They're Here Print E-mail

What with Battle: Los Angeles and Skyline, you might have had enough of alien invasions and other such extra-terrestrial threats. But on the opposite scale of things comes an intriguing new viral site launched for a completely unknown film: They're Here.


With pretty much nothing else on the site apart from a giant red clock counting down and some ominous phrases, there's not much to go on. Just a promise to reveal all on 10-10-10. Whatever there is to reveal. Until then, there's some Twitter action going on from a (presumably fictional) user called Paul Geist. And a very short bit of teaser video on YouTube. Which was shot near Falkirk, Scotland.


That location plus the UK URL of the site suggests a low budget feature, which promises to have a trailer arriving later this month before the big reveal. Will this end up linked to a bigger Hollywood project? Given the activity (both promotional and legal) going on with invasion flicks Battle: Los Angeles and Skyline, it seems unlikely. We'll be keeping a tab on this potentially interesting and most likely indie bit of sci-fi.


The website is over here, and you can read on for their video of a UFO sighting.

First Look at David Tennant in Fright Night Print E-mail
Written by Ivan Radford

It's been a while since we heard about the carefully assembled cast for the remake of Fright Night, but finally here's a look at one of them - none other than David Tennant. And he couldn't look less like Dr Who if he tried.


Sporting a Jack Sparrow-like mix of eyeliner, facial hair and a massive wig, Tennant plays Peter Vincent, the part originally played by Roddy McDowall. Shifting things a bit from the 1985 cult comedy-horror, Craig Gillespie's update relocates the action from boring suburbia to the bright lights of Las Vegas - a setting which suits Tennant's Vincent, originally an ageing host for the titular TV show, now re-imagined as a stageshow magician.


Incorporating horror movies into his act, Vincent is approached for help by scared youngster Charley (Anton Yelchin), who believes that his neighbour (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. That promising trio are supported by a cast that includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette, Dave Franco, and Imogen Poots.


While the basic plot has stayed the same, Marti Noxon's script is clearly aiming for something other than the dry humour of McDowall's Vincent. Expect some crazy effects, over-the-top showmanship and a chance for David Tennant to really let rip outside of the TARDIS.


The image appeared online thanks to Shock Till You Drop, who snapped the banners at a Hard Rock Cafe where filming took place. Read on for a big sexy version.

There aren't many people more disturbed or twisted than Eli Roth - the guy who gave the world Cabin Fever and both Hostel films. His latest creation, The Last Exorcism, is his own response to both the handheld craze of Paranormal Activity and the long-lasting reputation of The Exorcist. Which he first saw when he was six - something that might explain quite a lot.


In the run-up to The Last Exorcism's UK release, we sat down with Eli Roth (producer) and director Daniel Stamm to ask them about making a modern movie about possession. The resulting discussion covered everything from religious fundamentalism and District 9 to bashing cats to death with video cameras...
