Trailer of the Week: TOTAL RECALL!

The original Total Recall was a great film, sure it had its faults, but it was a proper thrill ride.  Arnie at his best, Michael Ironside being evil, an arse kicking Sharon Stone, what more did you need? Brilliant. 

So, when I heard they were going to remake it with Colin Farrell, I thought it was going to be a big mistake. That was until I watched the full trailer the other day. It looks superb! If you don't believe, take a look at the trailer below. It's about time Colin Farrell got a decent part and reminded everyone he can hold his own when it comes to action movies. 

Total Recall hits cinemas in the UK in August.

Movie News: HUNGER GAMES 2!

Whilst The Hunger Games continues to make a gazillions dollars around the world, it's no surprise a sequel is already in the works and even has a release date of November 22nd 2013.  Hunger Games: Catching Fire will begin filming at the end of the summer this year and will see the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen. 

Movie News: LOOPER TRAILER!

This trailer has been out for a while, but I really liked it and wanted to get it up on the blog.  It's no secret I'm a big Bruce Willis fan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt has starred in some of my favourite films over the last few years, most noticeably Inception. 

The film is Looper and it's a sort of a mash up of Time Cop and Jumper, which definitely gets my attention as they're both on my guilty pleasures movie list. The only thing that worries me is the release date at the end of September.  If this was an amazing film wouldn't it have been given a summer release? Perhaps this summer is too full and they didn't want it to get lost in the mix? I hope that's the reason. Occasionally, Bruce Willis makes some crap films (Cop Out, Surrogates) and I don't want this to be his next one. If the trailer's anything to go by, it should be brilliant.

Check it out below and let me know what you think.  I have a feeling this could be one of the surprise hits of 2012. 

Movie News: ALL NEW DARK KNIGHT RISES POSTER!

Not too much longer to wait until The Dark Knight Rises hits cinemas this summer.  Over the last few weeks the hype has been continuing to build with more teasers and posters being released.  Well here's one you may not have seen yet.  It's a simple sexy image, but it says a lot and I have no doubt there are thousands of comic book fan boys out there with a new screen saver.

Take a look at the poster below and make sure you check out one of the most highly anticipated films of the year when The Dark Knight Rises is released in the UK on July 20th 2012.

Trailer of the Week: PROMETHEUS

There are some great films being released this year, but Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus has to be the one I'm anticipating the most. I've been a fan of Scott ever since I first saw Blade Runner and he is arguably one of the best directors this country has ever produced.

So far I've liked the trailers, but they haven't blown me away.  That all changed however, when I watched the brand new trailer below. It is incredible! 

Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

Movie News: Emma Watson in Hot Pants Shocker!

Here is Emma Watson as you've never seen her before and it's a long way from Hogwarts.  These shots were taken on the set of her new movie, Sophia Coppola's The Bling Ring. The film is based on the true life story of a group of teens that robbed various celebrity homes in 2008 and stole around $3m.

Looking at these pictures of Emma feels a bit inappropriate, but I think it's because I watched her grow up in the Harry Potter films, so seeing her dressed in hot pants and flashing her stomach just seems wrong somehow.  I have no doubt there'll be a whole new generation of men (and some women) who will have no problem enjoying the fact she's hot though!  

The Bling Ring is released next year.

Trailer of the Week: THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN

It's been a long time coming, but finally, here's the first full length trailer for the reboot of everyone's favourite arachnid hero, The Amazing Spiderman.

It's looks great, but yet again I have concerns about the CGI.  Why is it some films get it right (Star Trek) and others fail (Twilight)? We only get to see a few quick glimpses of The Lizard, but it's enough to get me worried. They do have another five months before release, so maybe there's some tweaking still to do, but at the moment I'm not impressed.  Other than that, the film looks to have a lot of potential and I'm a fan of Andrew Garfield, so am keen to see what he can do with the role.

Anyway, enough from me, take a look at the trailer below and let me know what you think.
