BATMAN: YEAR ONE Review

BATMAN: YEAR ONE review

In the summer of 2005 Batman Begins was released worldwide in theatres, receiving widespread critical acclaim, establishing Christopher Nolan as a director to be reckoned with, as well as breathing life into the widely thought dead/murdered Batman franchise that the "studios" had themselves caused with the 1998 Bat-nippled travesty of "Batman and Robin", a film that George Clooney to this day apologises for, as well as everyone else who worked on it (a rant for another day I fear). 

Anna Karenina: Trailer

This is hardly news, as the trailer has been out for quite some time. Even so, it is still important that we discuss it.

Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku)

I'm an Otaku. People tell me this all the time. I love anime, I live it, breathe it, draw it and dream about it. The only problem with the world is that there isn't enough of it. The more I watch it, the more particular my taste becomes. It's comparable to the average man's taste for wine.

Nora Ephron passes away

The Multi-talented writer and director Nora Ephron, who bought romantic comedy hits such as 'When Harry Met Sally' and 'Sleepless in Seattle' has sadly passed away aged 71.

First trailer for Dredd is Released.

When I was younger I had the forgettable experience of watching Sylvester Stallones' Judge Dredd, I do however have fun memories of my friend struggling to beat the game on SNES.  In this reboot the Judge has to climb a tower filled with badies in order to take out the drug kingpin on the top floor. Its been a while since we saw the first pictures of Karl Urban as the Judge in 2010 and during that time a great movie with a similar premise, The Raid was released. Will this result in a mistrial for the Judge? Check out the trailer after the break.

New trailer for Black Dynamite Animated Series

In 2010 I got a round house kick to the face in the outrageously fun Blaxploitation Parody Afro Dynamite starring Michael Jai White, the black Chuck Norris and Gamble from TDK. Now after releasing an 11 minute Pilot last year Cartoon Networks' Adult Swim has released a Trailer for the series pack with a load of Sticking it to the man, Trailer after the Break.

Monster's University Teaser

Disney/Pixar has released a teaser for their Monster's Inc prequel Monster's University and it looks great! Trailer after the Jump.

Woody Allen: A documentary Review

Woody Allen is a treasure of the cinema, after being around for over 40 years he’s managed to churn out a film almost every year, bringing us greats like Annie Hall, Manhattan, Match Point and Midnight in Paris.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

Tom Clancy's

GHOST RECON: FUTURE SOLDIER

(xbox360, ps3, pc)

In a world thats saturated by run and gun first person shooters, where you are pitted against faceless, infinite and sometimes even idiotic enemies, its nice to see a company carve its own bullet riddled path into the world of "simulated shooters". 

Guillermo del toro's Pinocchio

Guillermo Del Toro is a man I highly admire, his films have shown us tales of such vivid beauty.
Acclaimed for his his dark fairy tales and vicious characters Guillermo del toro has grown into that category of top directors who bring us works of art that breed endless imagination and creativity.
In these concept art of his upcoming film Pinocchio that EW recently published we see a darker pinocchio or atleast I hope for one, than that of disney's 1940 film which every child has (or should) watch. Del Toro's adaptation will be in 3D stop-motion. This feature starts Filming in 2013.

Zemeckis is back..

Its been a while since Robert Zemeckis has been in the directors chair. I for one am glad to see him back. He returns with Denzel washington at the helm as a pilot who has some complications with landing his aircraft that crash lands after a mid air catastrophe, at first washingstons character his hailed as a hero, but heads are raised as people trouble to find out what really happened.

The film also stars Don Cheadle and John Goodman.

Django Unchained Trailer

The new Django Unchained trailer has finally hit online. The trailer itself looks amazing however I would have liked to see more of Di Caprios character Calvin Candie, no fuss though im sure in the next couple of trailers and TV spots well get more of a glimpse of him.

Starring Jamie Foxx the story follows the lead character Django (with a silent D) as he is captured by bounty Hunter Dr. King Schultz to hunt down a bunch of low life criminals eventually bringing them to rescue Django's wife from a plantation owner known as Calvin Candie (Leonardo Di Caprio).
