My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)
Sometimes, a movie comes along so unflinchingly terrible, it’s just awesome. Sometimes, that film is called My Bloody Valentine,
Casino Royale - DVD Release (2008)
Coinciding with the cinematic release of Quantum of Solace, the deluxe edition of 2006’s Casino Royale, packages Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film with a multitude of special features that will appeal to fans of the Bond series and those new to the franchise.
Something of a departure from the standard gadgets, gizmos and girls structure of Bond films, Casino Royale follows Bond as he travels undercover to Montenegro to investigate Le Chiffre (Mikkelsen), the suspected financier of an international terrorist organision. Bond is accompanied by Vesper Lynd (Green) from the treasury and Mathis (Giannini), who assist him in the poker game he must enter in order to get close to Le Chiffre.
The X-Files: I Want To Believe (2008)
In what could only be described as a summer of superheroes, the arrival of an X-Files movie was somewhat understated and passed by without much fanfare. The DVD release of The X-Files: I Want To Believe may go similarly unnoticed, which is quite a pity: in the great scheme of things, it’s actually a rather good film.
Mutant Chronicles (2008)
To say Mutant Chronicles has slipped under the radar would be an understatement: for a sci-fi/horror film with liberal amounts of violence, blood, guts and gore, the film has received little advertising or press coverage.
Which is surprising, because it’s a hell of a lot of fun!
Mirrors (2008)
There comes a time in every actor’s life when they happen across that role they were just born to play, a character whose life becomes so intertwined with your own that it’s difficult to see where the two join.
Bear that in mind before you go to see Mirrors, the latest Hollywood take on Asian horror.
The Dark Knight (2008)
It’s somewhat appropriate that The Dark Knight is the only Batman film so far that doesn’t name its hero in the title: after all, this isn’t so much a film about Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) as it is about Gotham City
WTC View (2005)
WTC View is the story of Eric (Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie), a young gay photographer trying to rent out his spare room in the weeks following the fall of the twin towers and his break-up with his boyfriend of two years. It’s one of the most personal and resonant of several post-9/11 movies that have been made, with the story hinging on the reactions of Eric, his friend Josie (Kapplow) and the various people who come to view the room and the ominous view from the window.
Wanted (2008)
So you’ve spent years waiting, and it’s finally here: at last you have the chance to see Angelina Jolie in a film about…yep, knitting assassins. Cool, or what?
So that might be a somewhat tenuous description, but it’s true: Wanted features Jolie as Fox, an assassin.
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Batman Begins really raised the bar a few years ago in terms of superhero remakes (okay, truth be told, nothing can ever beat Adam West’s shot at a Batman movie…but that was long before the 90s and Joel Schumacher gave us George Clooney in rubber in a way that would never wash out of our minds no matter how hard we tried.) To keep things fair though, I’ll try to avoid comparing The Incredible Hulk to Ang Lee’s Hulk (or the late 70s TV series) except for saying one thing: IT’S MUCH BETTER (to a certain extent…)
