‘Dredd’ Official Trailer and Poster

Russell_Oz — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 08:07:41 +0000

The first official trailer for Dredd has arrived and it definitely looks a helluva lot better than the original version (which shall not be named). It’s gritty, action-packed, and looks like it should restore some credibility to the name of Judge Dredd.

Directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point) and starring Karl Urban (Star Trek) and Lena Headey (TV’s Game of Thrones), Dredd tells the story of a city besieged by a new designer drug and it’s up to the men and women of the Hall of Justice to bring order back to the city. Some will be judged, some will be measured, and some will be executed!

So what did you think of the trailer?

There are a couple of things I thought of whilst watching the trailer, I couldn’t help but think of Robocop 2 and The Raid.

Do you remember Robocop 2? Man I ... Read More »

Have you seen the official poster for the Dredd? Courtesy of TotalFilm.com here it is in all it’s brutal glory!

If you wanted to restore credibility to a kick-ass character who was utterly destroyed by Sylvester Stallone, what would be the first step? Create a killer poster which proves that the new film is as far from the last film as possible!

The Ten: Best All-Time Actors Relay Race

Russell_Oz — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:25:52 +0000

First of all I have a confession to make. I’m not exactly the world’s greatest athlete and I can’t remember the last time that I took part in a race unless you count the race against time … being able to get up from the recliner to make a snack, grab a beer, and check my tweets before the ad break is over… so it’s a great thing that I have just been handed “The Ten” baton from Max from Impassioned Cinema!

“The Ten: Best All-Time Actors Relay Race” works like a traditional relay race (except for all that pesky running) where one participant receives a list of 10 top actors and must cut one from from the list and replace that one with a new actor of their choosing. This task is made all the more difficult by receiving a ... Read More »

‘End of Watch’ Poster & Trailer

Russell_Oz — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:03:49 +0000

The poster for the David Ayer directed police drama, End of Watch, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Pena, and Anna Kendrick has been released and it looks pretty good.

I’m not exactly sure of what the effect is called but I do like the “sun-streaked” effect on the sides of the posters, it reminds me of a similar effect used on the poster for Woody Harrelson corrupt cop drama, Rampart. I don’t know what it is about that effect that makes you think of cops-on-the-edge but it does.

If you haven’t seen the trailer for End of Watch before then here it is for your viewing pleasure. Now just a word of warning, I loved this trailer and I am probably gonna blog about it more…so if you’re one of those who hate it or have carried on about it on other sites ... Read More »

‘Prometheus’ Review

Russell_Oz — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:13:49 +0000

** Potential Spoilers – I’ll always try never to spoil anything but if you want to go in fresh with no outside info or basic plot points then I suggest waiting til you’ve seen ‘Prometheus’ before reading the review **

Do you feel like embarking on a 2 hour journey as to whether or not God exists? How about spending 124 minutes watching some desperate characters scramble around a distant planet searching for the meaning of their existence…? If you do then Prometheus is going to be right up your alley.

I was a little unsure of what to expect when the movie started because I’m not the world’s biggest Alien quadrilogy fan and haven’t been anticipating Prometheus like I know some people have been but I definitely tried to keep an open mind and appreciate it as a sci-fi thriller helmed ...

‘Flight’ Trailer

Russell_Oz — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 05:50:48 +0000

You ever watch a trailer and think “I’m gonna go watch that just because of the cast?”, I just had that moment.

From director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and the Back to the Future trilogy) comes a story of a pilot (Denzel Washington) who manages to land his aircraft during a mid-air emergency and saving the lives of many onboard through a daring flying maneuver.

This looks interesting to me and I think that in lesser hands it might actually looks like a TV movie of the week but I hold out hope for Robert Zemeckis that’s still able to create an engaging and endearing film with great actors. I hope that Flight will be able to redeem him in the eyes of many since his last few films have all been creepy motion-capture and CG (A Christmas Carol, Beowulf, and ... Read More »

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Trailer

Russell_Oz — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 02:31:46 +0000

I’m sold! I’m in! I’m buying a ticket.

I’m not saying anything else until you watch the trailer because that’s how I first saw it, I knew nothing about it other than it was a Disney animated film.

Ok, you’ve seen it, right? Sweet, now how much did you LOVE IT???

I almost fell off the couch when I saw Ralph sitting there in a group therapy session at Bad-Anon: One Game at a time surrounded by other infamous video game villains: Bowser, the ghost from Pac-Man, Zombies, M Bison, and Zangief! That was absolutely brilliant and I think I would go to watch it based on that! It looks like it has a similar, not the same, kind of feel as Pixar’s The Incredibles – discontentment and a willingness to take your happiness into your own hands.

I love the idea ... Read More »
