Happy Christmas!

Hellboy II (2008) - First Trailer

The Dark Knight (2008)

No doubt, this will be the best superhero film of 2008! Can't wait to see it.

And here's a new on screen interpretation they shouldn't have bothered with... Aquaman, probably one of the worst superhero's ever created. Notice the Batman music in the background at the start, the cheek of it!

Hellboy II : The Golden Army (2008)

Ah yeah! Ron Perlman returns in Hellboy II : The Golden Army, directed once again by the excellent Guillermo del Toro.

Here's a 'behind the scenes' introduction.

John Rambo / Rambo 4 (2008)

Here's the second trailer. Looks like a worthy contender for 2008's 'Best Use of Jam' award!

Speed Racer (2008)

The latest movie from the Wachowski brothers (of Matrix fame). This is a live action adaptation of the original 60's Japanese anime of the same name.

Film Update

I haven't blogged for quite a while thanks to the wonderful Xbox 360 sci-fi game Mass Effect absorbing most of my free time. I have managed to watch a few films though.

Heres a quick update on what I've recently seen;


Beowulf in 3D has to be seen to be believed. The visuals are amazing, all completely computer generated producing some incredibly realistic characters. Add some rather funky Buddy Holly style 3D glasses and watch the special REALD version and you've got quite an exciting ride! Practically nude, CGI Angelina Jolie is something to talk about.


I wouldn't really recommend this film, its a bit too loved up and sickly for my tastes. However watching Robert De Niro perform as a gay pirate is really funny. It does have a fairly decent British cast (including Adam Buxton from the excellent Adam & Joe show) and from the looks of it was filmed over here, thats always nice to see!


I'd like to consider myself as a Wes Anderson fan having enjoyed all of his previous movies however I felt this one didn't have all the usual charm I was used too. Not to say it didn't have its moments, the scenery and set pieces are really great with some ingenious directing techniques. The story didn't really cut it for me and most of the film was a sombre affair with not so many funny moments. The story is about three brothers reuniting after the death of their father, hoping to reconnect with each other whilst they travel across India on a spiritual pilgrimage.


I really didn't like this. It was full of dodgy looking CGI animals, terrible child actors with awful Cockney accents and a really bizarre story that didn't seem to go very far. I'm a lazy sod and haven't read any of the books from the Philip Pullman 'Dark Trilogies', I've heard they're amazing.

Ah bless...

Here's a terribly cheesy group photo for the forthcoming Indiana Jones adventure, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Notice Shia LaBeouf with his first piece of facial hair, ha ha!

I felt sorry for Karen Allen so made this up.

You're one of the boys now, welcome to the club!
