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.

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.

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).

Snow White and The Huntsmen Review




Snow white and huntsman has a revisionist take on the original tale. It reinvents imagination and tale to an extreme effect. With stunning visuals that keep it afloat for most of the film, the story lacks heavily in the script department with director Rupert Sanders failing to keep us interested in a story that really should have been better.

Prometheus Review

Another summer and yet another blockbuster. But this is what summer are for right? Prometheus has landed and with all the hype thats surrounded it but, I’m afraid it just doesn't live up to it. Generating much excitement since its release since it was announced that it will have the some DNA from Scotts magnificent Alien

Prometheus:First Thoughts


Photo from Imdb

Over 30 years ago Ridley Scott redefined the science fiction/horror genre with the suspenseful and terrifying Alien (1979). While not a direct prequel Prometheus definitely contains strands of Alien DNA and aims to answer some of the questions from its predecessor, but unfortunately it suffers by raising more questions than it answers.
