Thor: The Dark World trailer

August 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Week is being kind to us. It’s given us up two and a half minutes of Thor: The Dark World in trailer form. We get plenty of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. We also get some teasers of Idris Elba as Heimdall. What about […]

Over two minutes of Pacific Rim greatness

May 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

My expectations are getting dangerously high for Pacific Rim. This is never a good thing. Check out this trailer and tell me if I’m wrong. Add in Guillermo de Toro, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and even Ellen (Glados) McLain – then tell me I’m wrong? I know! I might be wrong. It could all come […]
