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

Tron: Legacy Trailer Hits Internet Print E-mail

Well, 8 months after all that Comic-Con excitement, the full trailer for Tron: Legacy has hit the internet. And it's quite spectacular, even if you're not a huge fan of the original Tron - and let's face it, everyone is.


The plot's a lot clearer now, too, with Garrett Hedlund confirmed to be Kevin Flynn's son, Sam, a "tech-savvy 27-year-old" who enters the digital world where his father has been for 25 years. With a bit of old and young Jeff Bridges thrown into the mix, this stylish sequel will no doubt have a few more twists in its rescue mission tale - especially with Olivia Wilde as Kevin's confidant Qora.


Boasting newly advanced technology (i.e. more ways to kill you), Tron's world has transformed entirely for our digital age. But it still has the one thing we all want: light bikes. And like a CGI-ed up Jeff Bridges, they look pretty damn sexy.


Read on for the full video, and a few new stills from the film.

OMG, America has no Captain! Call Barack Obama! Oh wait, there's Chris Evans. Maybe he'll do it.


Yes, as Marvel cross Krasinski's name off the list for Joe Johnston's Captain America, the studio add another: Chris Evans.


They're still considering Cloverfield's Mike Vogel and Tron's Garrett Hedlund (and some guy called Wilson Bethel) but Chris Evans isn't a bad fit. No, not the Radio 2 presenter. Yes, the guy who's already been in both of Marvel's Fantastic Four movies. The one with the charm, muscles and good looks.


Nothing has been confirmed yet, despite Joe Johnston's enthusiasm to cast someone as soon as possible. But with Chris Evans up for a screen test very soon after a successful read-through, all that might soon change...

 
Sony Line Up New Men in Black Print E-mail

As their planned production date slips ever closer, Sony are now hunting around for a cast for Men in Black 3. Will Smith's Agent J is already there and Josh Brolin looks increasingly likely to play a young Tommy Lee Jones, but what about Yaz? He's a new character. And he may be played by Jermaine Clement.


Yes, Sony are circling Flight of the Conchord's funny man Jermaine for their new Man in Black, with Sacha Baron Cohen also on their wish list. The script, from Tropic Thunder's Etan Cohen, seems promising enough to keep this tired franchise moving forward. But with Clement or Baron Cohen on board, MiB 3 could well mark a return to the first film's form. 


Let's just hope Jermaine's wearing his business socks. Because when he's down to just his socks, you know what time it is: it's business time. Oh yeah...

IRON MAN 2! IRON MAN 2! IRON MAN 2!


Sorry, I'm a little excited by this new trailer. After all the glitz and glamour of the Academy Awards, it's hard to be impressed by another snazzy suit. But this suit belongs to Iron Man. Does your suit fire rockets, fly through the air, and come out of a briefcase? Tony Stark's does. And you can see it in its full-on graphic novel glory in this new trailer.


There are bits we've seen before, with Mickey Rourke's whips, Tony's grand-standing for the crowds, a short sequence at the Monaco Grand Prix. But Sam Rockwell? Scarlett Johansson? The briefcase suit? These are new treats for our retinas. And they look good. Thought you were excited by Iron Man's sequel? In 2 minutes and 28 seconds, you'll be positively gagging for it.

 

 


Read on for the shiny explosive video.

Ridley Rides the 3-D Train Print E-mail

The world was surprised when Ridley Scott announced he would be making another Alien film. But now Shadowlocked have revealed that this prequel will be in 3-D.


Interviewing Roger Christian - art director on Star Wars and Alien, to mention a few - he confirmed to Shadowlocked that Alien would be facehugging their way out of the screen: "Ridley's doing the next Alien in 3D." It sounds like Ridley's next to ride the 3-D gravy train, but Roger isn't concerned:


"Ridley told me some of his ideas. He has a very clear understanding of where this should go. They kind of stopped dead one of the greatest horror franchises there's ever been, and it had legs to go on. So I'm hoping he'll revive another three."


Now Roger isn't officially involved in Alien 5 - expect that to change soon - but he's clearly excited about the prospect of 3-D Aliens. Then again, it's hard not to be intrigued by the potential blend of HR Giger's freaky nightmares and the studio's three-dimensional money making. "If ever I went back to designing, the only film I would ever want to design is Alien, if Ridley re-did it." That whole immersive argument ain't entirely convincing, but if Ridley gets Roger on board, maybe we might have something good on our hands.

 
Hurt Locker Damaged By Lawsuit? Print E-mail

It's not looking good for The Hurt Locker on Sunday. Not only has one of its producers been banned from the ceremony (due to over-soliciting votes from Academy members), but now, according to The Guardian, Kathryn Bigelow's intense war film is faced with a lawsuit. 


38-year-old Serfeant Jeffrey Sarver, member of the army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, has claimed that Jeremy Renner's chraracter, Will James, is based on him. Summit Entertainment have responded that the character is purely fictitious despite Sarver's lawyer's argument that his life has been stolen.


The key is Mark Boal's screenplay, which he wrote after a 2005 stint in Iraq as a journalist for Playboy magazine. The lawsuit states that Sarver gave Boal details like the call-sign "Blaster One", which were then incorporated into the film. Sarver argues that Hollywood has "made billions exploiting veterans", but held off his lawsuit until after the Academy's voting period had finished.


Whether this backlash against Bigelow's movie - made for much less than its heated rival, James Cameron's Avatar - is a result of the contest between the two lead films is a matter of opinion. Bad-mouthing other contenders is a commonplace tradition (although The Hurt Locker seems to have been punished more than most), but a lawsuit is a new form of attack.


Ironically, alongside Sarver's claims that the realistic Hurt Locker is a little too realistic, other soldiers have stepped forward and criticised Mark Boal's screenplay in the LA Times for being "inaccurate" and "sloppy". Last year, Slumdog Milllionaire was heavily slated for supposedly exploiting Indian child actors. It ended up winning Best Picture.

 
Foul-mouthed Kick-Ass Causes Controversy Print E-mail

It may look harmless. It may sound harmless. It may even be considered entertaining by those unaware of its dangerous effects, but swearing is no laughing matter. Did you know that there is swearing in Kick-Ass? The Daily Mail knows.


Thanks to that bastion of UK society, we are all now forewarned of this potty-mouthed and puerile piece of filth, which could seriously offend and damage your children.


Especially when characters say words like "fuck" and "cock". And shoot people in the face.

Wanda! The Musical: Bailey On Board Print E-mail

If John Cleese approached you to write songs for the musical version of A Fish Called Wanda, you wouldn't say no. Which is why Bill Bailey is now helping to compose the songs for the new show based on the 1988 comedy.


Cleese has been writing the book with his daughter Camilla, hoping for an eventual Broadway and West transfer following a debut in San Diego. After the success of Spamalot, Cleese is clearly confident, saying:


"I'm pleased that Camilla hasn't completely stolen all of my dignity in writing so brilliantly. She's left me a few scraps to hang onto to keep me warm at night... Soon, we'll start to work on the songs for the show with Bill Bailey, who, among his many achievements, is an honorary member of the Society of Crematorium Organists. This musical is destined to be a hit amongst funeral directors."


So, a musical based on one of the funniest films of all time? I never saw Spamalot out of pure fear, but this might be even more terrifying. Except for the fact that Bailey's songs might be quite interesting. Book and music aside, the casting would be impossible. Could anyone really recreate Otto's presence other than Kevin Kline?

There are certain words that spell doom for the human population. Example: Big. Momma's. House. 3.


Yes, it's still happening. And now Tropic Thunder's Brandon T. Jackson has joined the cast. As Martin Lawrence's nephew. And they'll both be dressing up as women. In an all-girls performing arts school.


Filming will start in April. In Atlanta. Soon be known as The Little State That Brought About THE END OF THE WORLD.
