Here's the trailer for the new NIGHTMARE movie, the reworking of the 80's classic horror film about a murderer killing kids through their dreams. Looking forward to it? Well here's a sneak peek.

Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley) returns in "A Nightmare on Elm Street", a contemporary re-imagining of the horror classic.

As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another...but when they sleep, there is no escape.

On May 27, independent art-house distributor Accent Films will release THE STONING OF SORAYA M, a contentious and deeply compelling tale that examines the horrific power of mob rule and death by stoning; a practice that officially¹ doesn¹t exist.

Based on the 1994 book of the same name by the late French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam Really Long Link , which was banned in Iran, THE STONING OF SORAYA M introduces us to Zahra, a courageous Iranian woman with a terrible secret. When a journalist is temporarily stranded in her village, Zahra risks her life to relate the shocking events that led to the legalized¹ murder of her niece, Soraya, falsely accused of adultery by a husband who wished to be rid of her in order to marry a 14 year-old girl.

I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS trailer

March 12th 2010 00:42

The new trailer for what would have probably garnered Jim Carrey an Oscar nod had it not been for delayed release dates is now out. Will the fact that it is coming out not long after this years awards mean that everyone will have forgotten about the great performances by Carey and McGregor when it comes to nominations next year?

I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS is the improbable but true story of a spectacularly charismatic conman’s journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions – all in the name of love.

DESPICABLE ME trailer.

March 10th 2010 01:06

In a happy suburban neighbourhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbours, hidden deep beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by an army of tireless, little yellow minions, we discover Gru (Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!)

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. One of the world's greatest super-villains has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

OSCAR nominations 2010

March 7th 2010 23:12

Is that the time? Where did the last twelve months go? Once again its Oscar© time and the stars have all donned their Armani suits or borrowed their Valentino dresses for the big evening.

Everyone knows who will win. These days it is so rare to find an upset in almost any category (the last time was CRASH (2005) beating BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN for Best Picture) that we tune in to see whether the hosts fall flat on their face or to watch the winners make a weepy acceptance speech that at times can be more horrifying to watch than a rerun of TITANIC on Saturday night free to air.

Academy to penalise Hurt Locker Producer

March 4th 2010 00:39

Lets act as if we didn't know that behind the scenes around OSCAR time, studios and their ilk will do anything to talk up the chances of their film, while simultaneously subtly deriding the opposition. Well Hollywood has had enough and is taking a stand. But do we really care. Surely those voting are smart enough to make up their own minds and vote accordingly. Its not like the 30's when the studios all got together and worked out which of their films, directors and actors would win that year.
