These two are going places; Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner star as Hansel and Gretel. You know the fairy story, the brothers Grimm adventure, and in this movie we carry on – with Hansel and Gretel as witch hunters. The first teaser trailer came out in September and looked good. This one looks just as […]
The Evil Dead team put the Necronomicon on Facebook
The official Evil Dead Facebook page is showing us the Necronomicon. Is this wise? Perhaps not; they also say: “Necronomicon Ex Mortis: Don’t Say It. Don’t Write It. Don’t Hear It. Don’t Share It.” It’s expected that the film will be out in the UK in April 2013 even though the UK and Ireland seem […]
Peter Jackson and WETA Workshop give Air New Zealand flyers an unexpected briefing
I’m a frequent flying and I’m so very tired of the safety briefings. I know, though, it’s important to pay attention. Perhaps I should book a flight to New Zealand. Air New Zealand have put together an unexpected briefing that manages to hold my attention. Watch it for the cameos; there’s Peter Jackson and Dean […]
Star Wars 7 will be all new story
E! Online are claiming LucasFilm sources are describing Star Wars 7 as all new. The quote is simply; It’s an original story This will disappoint Timothy Zahn who might have hoped to follow the adventures of Luke and the assassin Mara Jade. It’s always wise to be somewhat sceptical of unnamed sources but no one […]

Monster Roll: Chefs versus sea monsters
This short film sounds like a laugh – sushi chefs versus sea monsters. I’m sure it’ll be funny but it’s no cheap joke. The video above is actually a high quality teaser from Dan Blank and Vanishing Angle. It’s well acted and the effects are impressive. Cthulhu, anyone? There’s a Facebook page and a branded […]

Wolf Children review
Wolf Children is an anime by Mamoru Hosoda who is responsible for Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I watched Summer Wars at the Scotland Loves Anime film festival of 2011 and really enjoyed it – I went into Wolf Children with my expectations high. This is always dangerous. Wolf Children is […]
Blood-C: The Last Dark review
Technically Blood-C: The Last Dark is a sequel but the creative team re-jigs things slightly and the film stands on its own two feet. I didn’t notice or mind that I hadn’t seen any of the previous anime. Action kicks off in a train. A vampire looses control and goes on a face eating rampage. […]
Berserk: Movie 2 – The Battle for Doldrey
The Battle for Doldrey, the second Berserk movie, ensures that anime lives up to its 18-certification with plenty of blood, sweat and tears – blood from a torture scene and some deadly combat and the sweat and tears from all the other physical activities people tend to get up to. The hybrid form of animation […]
