Upcoming Cinema Releases
I’m typing this lying in a hammock. Health and safety would probably have something to say about this, and it’s not particularly comfortable, as my arms are sort of trapped down by my sides, and I have to crane my head at a weird…(UK Release Date: 23 May 2008)
I used to quite enjoy Sex & The City, though Carrie's voice overs, carelessly written columns, and scary choice of outfits drove me nuts. But I thought the tv series wrapped everything up nicely and that there was no need to revisit…(UK Release Date: 28 May 2008)
Midnight Kiss begins like a nice enough slacker comedy by a woe as me scriptwriter down on his luck in the cinematic city of dreams, but ends as a triumphant American love…(UK Release Date: 13 June 2008)
Prince Caspian wasn’t my favourite of the Narnia books (that honour goes to The Horse And His Boy – a talking horse was in my top three perfect ideas along with a flying horse and The Black Stallion. Freud would have a field day.) But…(UK Release Date: 26 June 2008)
Rick O'Connell was essentially a bland version of Indiana Jones for the turn of the millennium. Back then, the lack of a Spielberg/Lucas movie for ten years and big-budget CGI were its main attractions – it was easy to sell a popular…(UK Release Date: 8 August 2008)
The man in the hat is back! It's been a long time since Harrison Ford returned to his Indiana Jones persona, and a lot of negotiating over scripts, but nearly 20 years since his last outing we will finally be treated to his…(UK Release Date: 22 May 2008)
Following a similar change of direction that has met the Batman series of movies with each new director, the sequel to Ang Lee’s Hulk in 2003 sees a new cast introduced along with a different director in a bid to please the unrest…(UK Release Date: 13 June 2008)
The sad shadow of Heath Ledger’s recent death will linger over the second of Christopher Nolan’s Batman reboots as he took on the role Jack Nicholson made his own in the original Tim Burton-directed movie. Yet this could be a fitting…(UK Release Date: 25 July 2008)
James Bond is back – again! – in the rather oddly named, but eagerly anticipated QUANTUM OF SOLACE, to be released on Friday, 31st October 2008, opening
at the Odeon Leicester Square and all over the…(UK Release Date: 31 October 2008)
I saw Speed Racer this weekend and it is, while not quite a return to Matrix form for the brothers Wachowski, certainly a darn sight more entertaining than its leaden sequels. Some (Time Out) are hailing it and its pure, kinetic, image-over-narrative possibilities as the future of cinema,…
I'm off tonight to hang out with Sophie Marceau and watch her new film, Female Agents. Hopefully there will be…
November 1993. Elijah Wood ("Lord of the Rings") plays Martin, an American student at Oxford University – a big fish out of water in a strange pond. Martin knows one thing for sure though, he wants Arthur Seldom (John Hurt) as his thesis director. Seldom has a brilliant mind and is…
I'm well aware that I am behind with reviews so here - before the publicists all give me a spanking - is a quick roundup until the full stories go…
As everyone knows, Bono is John the Baptist to Bob Geldof's new messiah, so its clearly not enough for U2 to simply shoot a concert film, oh no, they have to film it in 3D. (Presumably to create a big enough canvas for Bono's giant head.)…
George Lucas' original science fiction epic is about to be transformed by the cast of Family Guy. In what promises to be a sci fi comedy that would get even Darth Vader laughing, Stars Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is about to be spoofed once again in Blue…
For the new prequel based around Captain Kirk and the very early days in the Starship Enterprise non other than Simon Pegg has been chosen to play chief engineer Montgomery Scott. This came an as surprise to many as Simon has only played comedy roles such as in the excellent…
