Freddy Krueger is on the prowl again
It’s about time I get to post about something less serious and bit scary. The horror genre is full to the brim with lousy, low budget attempts to frighten the audience. Very, very few is worth watching. But then there is the ones that stick out. The really good ones that actually manages to scare [...]
Del Toro in talks to direct Hobbit movies
One of my absolute favourite movie projects is slowly coming together. I’ve already posted about the upcoming adaptation of Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” a couple of times so instead of me paying some more tribute (well deserved mind you) to Tolkien’s delightful novels and Peter Jackson’s beautiful adaptation I’ll present you with the latest update on “The [...]
More Rambo on the way
A new week with more exciting news from the movie mecca of the world. Today is “Rambo day”. I didn’t know that when I woke up this morning but as soon as I saw “Rambo” in the headlines I knew… And when we are on the subject – what is it with Rambo? I mean, [...]
Ryan Gosling as Jack Ryan?
Remember the character Jack Ryan? Played first by Alec Baldwin in “The Hunt for Red October” (1990) and then by no other then Harrison Ford in “Patriot Games” (1992) and once again in ”Clear and Present Danger” (1994). Then something strange happened and Ben Affleck got the part as Jack Ryan in “The Sum of All Fears” [...]
Magnificent new movie trailers
Charlie Bartlett (In Theatres: February 22nd, 2008) There has never been anyone quite like Charlie Bartlett. An optimist, a truth-teller and a fearless schemer. when Charlie slyly positions himself as his new school’s resident “psychiatrist,” he has no idea the ways in which he will transform his classmates and the potential of his own life. [...]

And he had a wife and a child… This was posted on Dark Horizons: 28-year-old Australian actor Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City Soho apartment at around 3:30pm this afternoon local time. Details are still forthcoming as to the [...]
Dunst and Gosling to star in All Good Things
This little news flash caught my attention mainly because of the mentioning of Ryan Gosling. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Ryan is a remarkable actor and it’s always a pleasure to watch him take on his roles. It says that Kirsten is in negotiations. Negotiations? Girl, sign the dotted line and be [...]
Tidbits of Indiana 4
It’s been a while since we heard or saw something substantial about the upcoming, long-awaited sequel to “Indy 3” – in other words “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull“. Did everyone get that right? That’s one smooth title… The wait is over my friends. Here’s the latest on “Indy 4″: Dark Horizons [...]
Wahlberg to star as drug lord
A couple of days ago I watched a movie called “Balls of Fury“. Now, I’m not gonna go on about how good (or bad) it was – I just want to explain what happens when you sit down and watch a film and you have very low expectations. I had heard from friends that the movie [...]
Elijah hopes to play Frodo once again
The epic three-volume novel by J. R. R. Tolkien sort of defined my view on the fantasy genre. I remember taking on the massive books with mixed emotions. And even though I sometimes felt overwhelmed by the share weight of his work I couldn’t stop reading. I was very moved, as we all were, by these magical [...]
