  • Iron Man 2 - The Trailer

    Posted on Wednesday December 16th, 2009 at 20:50 in movies, iron man

    Love it......but still not sold on Mickey Rourke. ...

  • Universal Soldier: Regeneration

    Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 13:49 in movies

    I'm a big fan of big dumb action movies of the '80s and '90s - you know the kind; they starred Arnie, Stallone, JCVD or Lundgren (hey, remember Dark Angel? That was great!) - and if you got two of them together, even better.Which was why Universal So...

  • RIP Edward Woodward

    Posted on Monday November 16th, 2009 at 08:16 in movies, blogging

    Edward Woodward died today, aged 79.Damn. I used to watch The Equalizer when I was a kid, despite my parents thinking it was too violent for me and that it was ridiculous that a man of that age went round getting into so much trouble.It wasn't until ...

  • A Plan Comes Together

    Posted on Thursday November 12th, 2009 at 08:38 in movies, TV, blogging, a-team

    Last Friday night as I was tidying up the dinner plates and making a cup of tea (yes folks, another excitement-filled Friday in New York City!) I was, for no apparent reason, whistling aimlessly.Only it wasn't quite as aimless as I thought - because ...

  • Clash of the Titans Trailer

    Posted on Wednesday November 11th, 2009 at 15:01 in movies, clash of the titans

    I might be ambivalent on the Kick-Ass trailer but this looks like fun.Now if only we can get sword fighting skeletons......and yes, I know they were in Jason and the Argonauts, not the original Clash of the Titans. Creative license, people. Creative ...

  • Kick-Ass Trailer

    Posted on Wednesday November 11th, 2009 at 14:04 in movies, mark millar

    I'm ambivalent about this, having no attachment to the source material - but I do think it's impressive that Mark Millar managed to sell another comic for a movie after the first or second issue came out.And I'm one of those guys who actually liked t...

  • Thor\'s Warriors Two?

    Posted on Monday October 19th, 2009 at 11:20 in movies, casting, marvel, thor

    According to AICN, Robert De Niro and Jude Law may have been cast in Thor. With Loki's role already filled, the obvious role for Law would be Fandral......and as such, I automatically picture De Niro as Hogun the Grim.I'm still rooting for Oliver Pla...

  • The Expendables Trailer

    ...Jaime Alexander, per THR.I haven't seen anything else she's been in so I'm not sure if this is good casting or not, but she's certainly got the hair down. Just hope she can use a sword a little.According to the report, the reliable Colm Feore has ...

  • Twelve Villains You Should See in Spider-Man 4 (and who should play them)

    Posted on Friday September 18th, 2009 at 07:32 in movies, spider-man, venom, black cat

    I took a look at twelve villains who shouldn't be in Spider-Man 4; so what about who should be in the movie*?I just hope that this time around, the filmmakers dispense with making the villain's origin or back story tie in to Spider-Man's somehow - un...

  • Twelve Villains You Shouldn't See in Spider-Man 4

    Posted on Thursday September 17th, 2009 at 07:07 in movies, spider-man, marvel, sam raimi

    On the heels of Variety officially confirming the release date of Spider-Man 4 (again starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, and again directed by Sam Raimi) as May 6, 2011 - which places it two weeks before the Thor movie, and a couple of months ...

  • RIP Patrick Swayze

    Posted on Tuesday September 15th, 2009 at 07:48 in movies, blogging

    You know, this has a hell of a lot more impact on me than Michael Jackson. Just saying. ...

  • Deadman Movie

    Posted on Friday September 4th, 2009 at 07:08 in movies, casting, deadman

    I forgot to comment on the news the other day that Deadman would be getting a movie under the watchful eye of Guillermo Del Toro.That's an excellent choice, even if he's only producing, as I'm sure Del Toro's unique vision will inform the look of the...

  • Guy Ritchie's Lobo Already Cast

    Posted on Thursday September 3rd, 2009 at 12:00 in movies, casting, lobo

    Hot on the heels of the news that Guy Ritchie would be helming a Lobo movie that sounds suspiciously like the plot for Marvel's Drax mini a few years back comes confirmation that the Main Man has already been cast.As speculated yesterday, frequent R...

    via geektyrant.com ...except I'm slightly afraid he'd beat me with his chains. I have no idea who Quiton ‘Rampage ‘ Jackson is, but I'll tell you this: I'd still prefer Erik King as BA Baracus. Posted via web from Comic By Comic's Wond...

  • Iron Man 2 from SDCC

    Posted on Monday August 10th, 2009 at 08:39 in movies, iron man, marvel, nick fury

    It's up for now, anyway...Edit The original source was pulled; replaced with this one for now.EDIT again Having received an email from Deputy General Counsel at Marvel, I've now pulled the footage entirely. I'm sure that it's available somewhere but,...

  • Planet Hulk Trailer

    Posted on Tuesday July 28th, 2009 at 13:58 in movies, world war hulk, hulk, marvel

    I'm not one for animated Marvel movies (mainly because the only one I've seen, Iron Man, was a bit lame) but damned if this doesn't look good.Any chance that this will lead into a World War Hulk? ...

  • Mr Eko for Black Panther?

    Posted on Monday July 27th, 2009 at 10:22 in movies, casting, black panther

    MTV is reporting that Lost and Oz actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is in talks to play the Black Panther in an upcoming movie.Movie Trailers - Movies BlogI'd always pictured Djimon Hounsou as T'Challa (and he's voicing him in the upcoming animated seri...

  • THE LOSERS poster

    Posted on Friday July 24th, 2009 at 11:18 in art, movies, the losers

    via comicbookresources.com An adaptation of Jock's cover for The Losers #12 to reflect the actor's likenesses - and it's adapted by Jock himself (you can see some process here) I have to say (1) I love the poster, and (2) I'm looking forward t...

  • Jonah Hex poster at SDCC

    Posted on Thursday July 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 in movies, dc, jonah hex

    Looks pretty good - but, nerdily, I'm not too fond of the font. And if that scene with the gatling guns mounted on the horse stays in, it crosses the line into ridiculous pretty early on. Not to mention the zombies. Oh yes, the script has a few zo...

  • Meet the new Freddy, same as the old Freddy

    Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 13:41 in movies, writing, nightmare on elm street

    via comingsoon.net Can you tell the difference at all in the dark there? I like the original movies - even though they got progressively sillier - but honestly, having read a draft of the script of the new Nightmare on Elm Street I'm not expec...

  • Warcraft. Raimi. Mountain Dew.

    Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 12:35 in movies, Games, Giveaway, sam raimi

    It was announced today that Sam Raimi will be taking on the World of Warcraft movie, presumably because he didn't end up getting The Hobbit after expressing his interest, and he really wants to direct a fantasy movie with a huge built-in audience.Hon...

  • Saw VI Motion Poster

    Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 in movies

    via heyuguys.co.uk Okay, that's kind of awesome. I enjoy the Saw films in a weird kind of way, even though I've only seen I-III. They're not particularly good, but I enjoy that they go out of their way to try and link the movies together th...

  • What If...Casting Call 1980s: Green Lantern

    Posted on Monday July 20th, 2009 at 14:01 in movies, What If?, casting, green lantern

    Yes, yes, we know that Ryan Reynolds is going to be slipping into Hal Jordan's flightsuit for the upcoming Green Lantern movie but (to steal a title) what if the current Green Lantern comic had been cast in the 1980s?Who'd be donning the GL suit then...

    Alright. I had my doubts, but they're pretty much gone now.I approve this casting.Although Mickey Rourke's Whiplash still looks kinda stupid...Also in EW - Gwyneth Paltrow, presumably not as she'll appear in the movie.Although...Pepper Potts...pics v...

  • Natalie Portman Cast in Marvel’s Thor?

    Posted on Monday July 13th, 2009 at 12:47 in movies, casting, marvel, thor

    via slashfilm.com I'd completely buy her as Lady Sif - but I'm not sure that she can swing a sword too well. But, honestly, I'd probably watch Natalie Portman eat a plate of fava beans. She's not unattractive, don't you know?(Edit: Apparently s...
