RocknRolla

If you liked Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, loved Snatch and are gagging for more of the same, you’ll probably get a kick or two out of this movie. Personally, I wouldn’t waste my time. There’s nothing new about RocknRolla at all. Guy Ritchie is painting by numbers, once again dredging up and dusting [...]

In the past few weeks there’s been some low-level buzz (i.e. probably lies) that Ang will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry by slipping into Catwoman’s skin-tight rubbers for the next Batman movie. Personally, I think it’s a grand idea - ever since the old Billy Bob Thornton “vials [...]

There’s not much that I can add to the wealth of reviews of The Dark Knight that you won’t have read or probably aren’t aware of already. It is awesome. Heath Ledger is a shoo-in at least for the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain (Best Supporting Oscar at this very early stage of the [...]

Here’s the trailer for Harry Potter’s latest adventure. Looks dull. I’ve never minded the odd Harry Potter flick, but they really need to get a better baddie. Honestly. Voldemort’s about as scary as a glass of breakfast punch. And not even the half-finished glass of breakfast punch that’s presently plotting my excruciating demise from across [...]

Pre-release reviews, however, were almost unanimous in their praise of Christopher Nolan’s second Batman movie, indicating perhaps that the hype is entirely justified.

Turbo-paced, gravity-defying, sanguine-splattered and morally ambivalent: this is “Wanted” in a nut-shell. The film marks Angelina Jolie’s returns to the action mould as heavily-tatted assassin Fox who is charged with rescuing nobody Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy making his timely Hollywood blockbuster debut) from a miserable existence and inducting him into the folds of the Fraternity, [...]

Poached this from Golden Fiddle. Nothing like a little honesty in advertising, even if it is almost certainly unintentional. Then again, “tedious” might be the least insulting write-up that Fools Gold actually received. I haven’t seen it, but come on: I don’t need to eat a shit sandwich to know that I’m not going to [...]

Check out this “viral” video for the awesome-looking upcoming action-comedy Tropic Thunder, featuring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black. It’s quite amusing, even in spite of Jack Black.

Here’s (one) of the trailers that’s already been released ahead of its scheduled US opening in August (September in the UK) this year:

I really hope [...]
