From Paris With Love

From Paris with Love is perfect popcorn fodder - dumb, diverting and surprisingly not dreadful.

Everybody's Fine

This cheesy remake of Stanno Tutti Bene makes Tornatore's soppy original look like The Godfather

The Crazies

Nowt special but The Crazies gives you good scares for your money. And a lot of Timothy Olyphant. He's good for your money too

Capitalism: A Love Story

A rousing call to arms, Capitalism: A Love Story shows Moore is still as polemic & provocative as ever

Solomon Kane

Solomon Kane is small in scale but large in ambition; what it lacks in originality it makes up for with bucket-loads of blood.

The Lovely Bones

With its syrupy score and saccharine script, The Lovely Bones is horribly bloated. It's like having a fat kid sit on your face for two and a half hours.

Crazy Heart

With a stellar, sincere starring role, Crazy Heart is a gentle and moving piece. Proof once and for all that Jeff Bridges makes anything brilliant. Even Country and Western music.

A Single Man

A Single Man matches its polished surface with a sorrowful and deep undercurrent. Simply gorgeous cinema.

Oscar Nominations

No Moon, no Road, no (500) Days of Summer. But we do have The Blind Side up for Best Picture. I blame Sandra Bullock. For everything.

Ponyo

Miyazaki is a wizard, and he uses the old magics – imagination, wonder and joy.

The Princess and the Frog

With fun music and an engaging cast, The Princess and the Frog regains Disney's soul after it was sold for CG farm animals & a shiny Mac

“Why are you screaming? I haven’t even cut you yet.” That line wasn't in the original! Yes, the new trailer for A Nighmare on Elm Street is proving that Samuel Bayer's remake may well be a decent departure from Wes Craven's horror classic. Sure, the old favourites are in there, too - the bed, the bath, the boiler room - but with Jackie Earle Haley donning the sweater, this stuff looks nasty. Like, really nasty. Nastier than Craven's Elm Street ever was.


Plot-wise, it's the same: we're still in Springwood, and we've still got Freddy Krueger stalking through scared teenager's dreams. But now we have a kid who knows stuff about insomnia, and a sequence showing us the origins of Krueger's scars and demented killing spree (see the first trailer for that bit). So it all looks good. Except for the CGI which keeps cropping up - that bedroom wall image worked so well because Wes just used latex. And if the bed-chomping isn't simply shot upside down, I'll be very annoyed. 


All pixels and no production tricks could make Nightmare go the way of Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th - I'm still not convinced there's any point to remaking such a wonderful film in the first place. But maybe, just maybe, Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes might shock everyone when this hits our screens on Friday 7th May. Remember, Jackie Earle Haley's a new Freddy. And Jackie Earle Haley does twisted very, very well.


Head over to MySpace to see the new trailer in its true HD gore. Or read on for the full video.

Trailers/Clips

You've got to feel sorry for Timothy Olyphant. If his evil plans aren't being thwarted by Bruce Willis, he's a mass-produced hitman with a barcode and no personality. Now, when he finally gets the chance to play a human lead - a good guy, no less - his town gets wiped out by a crazy virus. Literally, it makes people go crazy. Then kill people. The Crazies like killing people. And director Breck Eisner likes showing it.

Trailer

Wolfman. Benicio Del Toro. It's a great piece of casting - they don't come much wolfier than old Benicio. But even with the most hairiest of men baring his teeth at the camera, Joe Johnston's remake of the classic horror story never quite works. It's no surprise after the years of troubled production, but The Wolfman is patchy stuff. For all its gothic leanings and fondness for its furry material, this beast reeks mostly of ham. Thick, hammy slices of ham.

Certificate: TBC
Release Date: Friday 11th June

The A-Team follows the exciting and daring exploits of Hannibal Smith and his colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit. Going “rogue,” they utilize their unique talents – and eccentricities – to try and clear their names and find the true culprit.

Well, it got leaked online last week, but now the trailer for The A-Team is officially online. The video, which sees the TV series come to life on the big screen in full tank-parachuting glory, is now available across the world in full-on HD quality - I love it when a plan comes together.


So far, Joe Carnahan's revamp isn't looking too bad at all. With Liam Neeson, Sharlto Copley and Bradley Cooper on board, it's gunning for a hopefully high certificate with a lot of energy and, if we're lucky, violence. Listen out for the theme - it sounds as good as it always did.


The movie is released on Friday 11th June. Head over to our video section to see it for yourself.

 

Ok, so that headline doesn't make much sense. But director Mark Pellington has indeed signed on to call the shots on New Line's remake of The Orphanage. And the very idea of doing that - announced last year - still takes the 1 2 3. Sure, Guillermo Del Toro is overseeing the translation of the superb (and sad) Spanish shocker, but do we really need to remake it at all?


Del Toro is also co-writing with Larry Fessenden, who will be looking to take Juan Antonio Bayona's tale of a mother missing her lost son in a haunted orphanage and make it scary for all us English-speaking folk. Most of whom would have read the subtitles on the first one anyway - except for Variety, who seem to have misunderstood the plot somewhat. Hopefully Fessenden hasn't, and will include the slow counting hide and seek game, along with the subtle emotional current that flowed through the whole thing.


Still, the really scary part? After helming The Mothman Prophecies and Arlington Road, Mark Pellington went on to direct U2 3D. If that has any relevance to this remake, I'll knock the 1, 2, 3 out of all of them.

When the news spread that Guy Ritchie was taking on Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved brainbox, a little bit of fear was understandable. After all, this was the man who brought the world RocknRolla. The only people who weren't scared were the director's devoted fans. Not that their opinion mattered. And sure enough, he's given us a Sherlock sans deerstalker plus bare-knuckle brutality. This isn't the Holmes of your childhood. This isn't even a Holmes movie. This is a Robert Downey Jr movie. And it's quite a lot of fun.
