Universal have just dropped the trailer for the eighth (and we can only pray, last) installment in the long (lo-ooong) running American Pie series, American Reunion.
MTV, capitalising on a series of home runs in their scripted show offering decided to log on to the still simmering global tween-obsession with things that go bump in the night, and revive Teen Wolf for the Jersey Shore generation.
One upcoming film gathering a lot of heat this year is Stephen Soderbergh’s Magic Mike; a planned biopic of a legendary stripper of the same name who mentors a young protegé into similar pants-dropping greatness, set to hit cinemas in June 2012.
The caper film is one of the most difficult to pull off, but when executed in style – delivers sheer exhilaration as though you are a part of the action, committing the crime yourself as witnessed in movies like The Italian Job, Ocean’s Eleven, The Sting, Catch Me If You Can and Inception… so how does Skeem measure up?
Those goblins at Gringotts (read: Warner Bros) responsible for rolling out the now complete collection of Harry Potter DVDs have taken a leaf from the House of Mouse and issued a recall on all Harry Potter DVDs and boxsets from the end of December 2011.
A few weeks ago, 2oceansVibe featured the first teaser trailer for upcoming über-cool superhero hit, The Avengers, due to drop in May 2012. Not to be outdone, the Taiwanese news animators produced their own take on the trailer. Watch it after the jump.
There are several dozen adaptations of Alexandre Dumas’ classic 1844 French adventure, “Les Trois Mousquetaires,” ranging from over twenty filmed versions from as far back as 1903, animated adaptations, plays and even computer games. Let’s take a look at the latest one.
A group of four copycats told police they used techniques from his recent movie, “The Town”, after they were arrested for a string of 62 small time, New York robberies. In the film, a group of four friends rob a string of banks and always douse the scene with bleach, destroying any DNA evidence that may have been left behind.
Fright Night [3D] is a comedy-horror movie remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 cult classic. You know the VHS rental cover that used to scare the marbles out of you at the video store as a kid, the one with the massive vampire face laughing over a haunted mansion… ja, that one.
A guy from California is suing the Warner Bros. for copyright infringement, misappropriation of his publicity rights, and defamation, claiming that The Hangover II was based on a script he wrote about his own adventures in Asia. Which is crazy, because I thought The Hangover II was just The Hangover, but in Thailand.
Just when you thought they couldn’t eke another sordid drop out of the dried up teat that is the Die Hard series, the Hollywood Powers That Be announced that the fifth installment in the 23-year-old series will hit our screens on Valentines Day 2013.
Here it is comic book fans, what we’ve been waiting four long years for: the first trailer for Joss Whedon directed, The Avengers, set to drop in 2012, is here. Prepare to fangasm in 3… 2… 1…
“All for one, one for all.” The same catchphrase that united Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting in song has returned as The Three Musketeers swash their buckles once again. They were okay when Charlie Sheen could pull off a moustache, they weren’t too bad in The Man with the Iron Mask, however, this may just be their most flaccid outing […]
Late in 2010 Sony announced that they were scrapping the planned fourth installment in Sam Raimi’s series of Spider-Man films (with Toby Maguire and that annoying red-head) and instead were going to reboot the entire series from scratch.
Take Me Home Tonight is an ’80s style comedy romance starring Topher Grace, Teresa Palmer, Dan Fogler and a low-key Anna Faris… rare. Topher Grace, best known for his lead role in That ’70s Show, does what he does best… playing the nice guy who doesn’t want to finish last. He’s a good-looking man-boy, so […]
Disney’s 3D The Lion King reissue has been topping the box offices for the past two weeks, and netted them a cool $22,1 million over a weekend. So it’s not surprising that somebody in the studio realised that, hey, they have a bunch of other well-loved movies that they could probably re-release and make money with too.
Soulful UK songstress, Adele is heading in to the studio to record the theme for the upcoming 23rd Bond film, according to reports from music industry insiders (read: pizza, flowers, and cocaine delivery people).
Have you ever wished you could be someone else for a day, a week, a lifetime? The Change-Up will give you a couple of good reasons to stop doing that in the body-swap movie to rule them all… starring Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. This is not a Disney movie folks, in fact, it’s what the Farrelly brothers were […]
This week’s re-make is less a strict film re-make, and more the graduation of a classic television interpretation to the big screen, and considering how well acclaimed the original story is, it’s quite surprising this hasn’t happened sooner: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Disney and James Cameron are teaming up to transform a corner of the Magic Kingdom into a theme park based on Cameron’s multi-billion dollar grossing sci-fi 3D cinema-clogger, Avatar.
The First Grader is the inspiring true story of Kimani Maruge, a Kenyan ex-Mau Mau freedom fighter, who at the age of 84 fought the system for his right to an education he could never afford. This powerful biographical drama tells of Maruge’s struggle as he and primary school teacher, Jane Obinchu, stood up to a community […]
Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 opus, Straw Dogs, stands as a monument to the psychological thriller genre to this day, and makes surprisingly thrilling fodder for a re-make.
Hanna (nothing to do with Miley Cyrus) would be just like every other hitman movie out there, if it weren’t for its 16-year-old girl assassin and Pride and Prejudice director. While marked by beautiful cinematography, a pulsating soundtrack and a first-class cast – there’s a creeping alienation that never really lets you into this surreal […]
Hollywood’s pathological lack of imagination/lust for audience dollars gathers force as it continues to pilfer the back catalogue of fan favourite flicks. This time not to re-make, or reboot, but to re-D into 3D. Reports have emerged that both Top Gun and Titanic are to receive the 3D treatment and be re-released to audiences around the world as early as next year.
Footloose is an odd creature in the world of 1980s dance-saves-the-world feature films. It never hit the dizzy heights of fan or critical acclaim that Dirty Dancing did, and now, twenty seven years later, a re-make appears. But does it have that Bacon sizzle?
Mel Gibson is busy making a movie about the life of Jewish hero Judah Maccabee. This is the same person who was phuza when he got pulled over by a police officer a while back. He shared the following insights with the cop: “Effing Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world… Are you a Jew?”
Film geeks have unearthed India’s first sci-fi film, Hindi space adventure Trip to Moon, made in 1967. And, since it’s unlikely to take Netflix by storm anytime soon (though I fully expect an American re-make by end 2012) they’ve uploaded it to YouTube in full.
Final Destination 5 – the franchise has come a long way – relying on a tried-and-tested roller-coaster formula that brings audiences back for a thrill ride. The Final Destination, or fourth installment of the series was a serious low – delivering extra cheese with a gimmicky aftertaste that just ruined whatever credibility Final Destination had […]
“I’ve heard that lizards and frogs do it, Layin’ on a rock, They say that roosters do it, With a doodle and cock.” Even Cole Porter knew something was going on way back in 1928 when he wrote the lyrics to “Let’s Do It”, a song that has been re imagined in a variety of […]
Van Halen first sang about the rite of passage in 1984, but every schoolboy (and girl) will be able to remember when they were hot for teacher. Cooped up in a classroom, going through that awkward phase, the raging hormones, the hungry eyes (another movie) and fantasising about what it’d be like for teacher to […]
