The Adjustment Bureau

2 Sep

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooooh! AND Emily Blunt. Ooh.

127 Hours

31 Aug

Rockin’. Literally.

Centurion

3 Aug

Neil Marshall made Dog Soldiers and The Descent, and that Doomsday film that shot in Cape Town. This one – Centurion, starring the rakish and handsome Michael Fassbender – is about a Roman legion that’s wiped out by pissed off Celts. I’ve heard it’s a bit crap, but you can bet your life I’ll be first in line when it opens…..

Thor

1 Aug

Oh my.

30 Days of Night; Dark Days

31 Jul

In the excellent and actually blinkin’ scary 30 Days of Night, the Vampires are not soppy and they don’t drive Volvos. Enough said. (Plus: Josh Hartnett rocks.) But I didn’t realise that the movie (which filmed in New Zealand, of all places) was based on just the first installment in a series of comic books. So there’s lots and lots of original content still to come. Next up, the sequel: 30 Days of Night; Dark Days, aka Stella’s Revenge (I’m guessing).

Salt

23 Jul

I’m not an Angelina fan. I think beneath that glossy fat-lipped sheen she probably pupates and eats her young. But – in the same vein as, say, dinky nutter Tom Cruise or that shameless old hack, the devil’s own Nicky Cage – she has a perplexing level of success that brings her the kinds of film projects I’m loathesomely keen to watch.

In Salt, she plays an agent accused of being a Russian spy, leading to all kind of skop-skip-en-donder. It would have been so-so-yawn as yet another Tom Cruise film: the role was written for him. But whilst Angelina remains as likely a case for a Munchausen’s-By-Proxy diagnosis as I’ve ever seen, she will probably raise this above the norm.

Predators

12 Jul

Another up-and-coming: Predators. Hawaii-Texas locations. Utterly crap trailer, but no, really, I cannot wait….

Inception

7 Jul

OK, so clearly there’s not been an awful lot of movie-watching going on, what with the World Cup and all on our very doorstep. Hence another look at what’s coming at us down the pipe. Inception looks awesome.

Mind-shifting thriller. Tick. Ellen Page. Tick. Joseph Gordon Levitt. Tick. Music by Hans Zimmer. Tick. Christopher Nolan directs. Tick tick tick. Oh, I am so looking forward to this one….
