Christian Bale & Johnny Depp in 'Public Enemies'

See what you think, this looks quite good to me!

Transformers 2

The first Transformers film is probably my favourite cartoon to feature length film adaptation. And finally the makers have released a trailer long enough for me to really get excited about. I can’t wait!!! Being an original Transformers fan, there is absolutely no doubt that I will go and see this one at the cinema.

Christian Bale Goes American Psycho

Now this is an outburst if ever I heard one... Christian Bale directs he’s fury reminiscent of an American Psycho at the Director of Photography on the set of the up and coming film Terminator Salvation. I understand that you want to focus on your scene, but i think that Christian takes it a little over board to say the least.


In other film news the trailer is out for the film Bronson. The film is about Michael Gordon Peterson aka Charles Bronson, who was initially put in prison in 1974 and, with only three months spent outside ever since. To date he's served over thirty-four years, a figure you can see increasing on the official film site.

The reason he's served so much time is because he's a rather violent prisoner, and he last received a life sentence for hostage taking. Amazingly he's spent some twenty-eight years of his sentence in solitary confinement.

BAFTA Rising Star: Noel Clarke

Noel Clarke is one of the names up for the Orange BAFTA Rising Star Award, and it's not just for his acting but his overall film work, for he has written and directed films that he's starred in, and appeared on Doctor Who for a number of episodes. Despite most recognising him for Doctor Who, his talent has been applied to Kidulthood and Adulthood and a number of television appearances. The Orange British Academy Film Awards, aka the BAFTA's, have an award where the public can vote for the winner, not some panel of film insiders but the audience, and this year there's a great selection up for the award, Noel Clarke being one of them.

Clarke starred in Doctor Who as Mickey Smith, and so his rise began. Perhaps that's what gave him the leverage to push forward the film he wrote Kidulthood. His television career continued, mainly with the Doctor, but it was when he had the chance to add a sequel to Kidulthood and did so rather remarkably by writing and directing the film Adulthood.

Not only has he appeared for three years in one of the BBC's flagship television series that gains worldwide audiences, but he's written one film then wrote and directed its sequel within two years of each other. Now that's pretty impressive, Noel your 'Hustlin Ard'!

It's curious to see where his career is going, but there's a definite feel that he's keeping it very British and will continue to develop his own projects. I think it's a testament to his talent that he has already gained writer and director credits for critically acclaimed feature films. He's well deserving of the nomination for the Orange BAFTA Rising Star Award, and i for one will be hoping he wins.

Extended Notorious Trailer – “Juicy” Version

As Biggie Smalls, aka Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G is probably my favourite artist of all time, (impeccable word play amongst other things), I more than most am extremely excited about the forth coming feature film based on the late rappers life. However if I’m honest I really do not have high hopes for this film. The trailer doesn’t exactly fill me with excitement, but I really, REALLY hope that I’m proved wrong, however, I won’t hold my breath.

The Big Pictures!

Merry Xmas All, Hope you had a good one, its all come a to a swift end and with Xmas TV in an atrocious state I have turned my attention to Movies.

With comic-book heroes dominating summer cinema last year, 09 it seems will be no different with a few possible sequels and a whole new roster of heroes and villains fully equipped with dodgy disguises, shiny lycra and utility belts ready to hit the big screen.

If you’re a big fantasy/Sci-Fi fan then you will definitely want to keep your eyes peeled for movies this coming year. Marvel and DC have found the key to the attic as it seems they will be sending hero after hero in an attempt to separate us from our wallets in 09, so im going to give you a quick breakdown in what you should look out for at your local movie joint.

X-men Origins: Wolverine


The Breakdown

Everyone’s favourite mutant swings by in this x-men prequel. I’ve got high hopes for this movie as the 3 previous X-men titles didn’t quite do it for me, they was aight, but seeing a glimpse of gambit sealed the deal on this one. We can expect wolverine to be in a disgruntled mood on a revenge mission in a vest or leather jacket.

Check out the preview:


Transformers: Rise of the Fallen


The Breakdown

The original was a big hit, and I think were all expecting more of the same. The Decepticons want to build an army and rule the universe starting with earth; The Autobots don’t think it’s a good idea so they battle for it. Witty main character, alien robots, hot girl, senseless destruction done and dusted.

Watchmen


Quite a big hype around this one ive never read the original novel, but its directed by the same guy that did 300 so as a comic book fan I’d give it a go.

The Breakdown

A complex multilayered mystery/adventure set in an alternate 1985 USA,where costumed superheroes are part of everyday society.

Check the Preview:



As I said earlier there is a truckload of titles to look out for so check below for a few more heavy hitters.

The Spirit
Terminator
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
Avatar - James Cameron - Cameron gave us The Terminator and Terminator 2, Aliens, The Abyss, and Titanic (Nuff Sed)
Punisher: War Zone-this winter
Iron Man 2 (original was good)
Inglorious Bastards – Quentin Tarantino (gotta be watched just to see what kind of retro, lunacy is going on).
Dragon ball Evolution (preview doesn’t look quite right, they seemed to have strayed from the original story.
Thundercats Movie – (Zoooooooop)
Thor-2010
Masters of The Universe (lets hope its better than its predecessor)
