News: The Dark knight rises is shooting at the Carnegie Mellon University
The most anticipated film in the last 4 years is about to shoot a sequence at the Carnegie Mellon University. At their uni website they have posted details (that have been unfortunately erased) about a character's escape from prison during a massive riot. Could this be the escape of Bane? Certainly sounds like it!

Poster: The dark knight rises!
Here is the poster for the latest installment of the new Batman series. The poster for "The dark knight rises" can be seen below and i have to admit, it looks pretty pretty cool! Despite an overall similarity with the posters of part 2 (bat signal in flames and destroyed buildings at the background), this has a redemption feeling. The whole thing is surrounded by building debris while their tops

Trailer: Captain America gets a new awesome trailer!
Woa, that looks pacted with inventive action sequences. My favourite part will be the times that Captain is throwing his shield towards goons. So far, looks better and better and Jonston has done a great job capturing the film's 1940s athmosphere. I am really looking forward to this.

Poster: Captain America 2
I prefer to be honest the first poster but people should definitely check the new traielr. Looks pretty epic. This poster though is too generic.

Tom Cruise in "Rock Of Ages" as a rock star - Are you still alive?
Yep, this is Tom Cruise. Now i do not know WTF happened to the production team behind the "Rock of ages" film adaptation but this picture is wrong. I was lucky enough to see the theatrical rock musical at Toronto last autumn. The character Cruise portrays is the lead superstar singer of a hair band!? The results? You tell me

Poster: The three musketeers
The first poster for Paul Anderson's adaptation of the classic novel is here. It has been shot in 3D and has a stellar cast with Ray Stevenson, Orlando Bloom, Milla Jovovich, Christoph Waltz, Matthew McFayden, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelsen and Logan Leaman among others. I have to admit the trailer shows a very interesting period piece and the costumes and sets look fairly rich and real. I have faith
Review: X-Men First Class - It was first class after all!
A little late to write my review for "X-men: first class", i know but hey better now than never! Helmer of the latest addition to the "X-men" franchise is Matthew Vaughn, the guy who directed such entertaining and excellent films as "Stardust" and "Kick Ass". He was supposed to do as well "X3" but due to studio pressure and creative differences he retreated and left Brett Ratner to destroy the
Poster: Captain America
This looks that is going to be a great fun adventure. Hugo Weaving was born to play Red Skull (the make up is absolutely brilliant and faithful to the source material) and these posters are nicely done. Can't wait for August!

The Hobbit: Legolas is back!
Peter Jackson announced that he will be working again with Orlando Bloom in the film adaptation "The hobbit". The most famous elf on the planet - mainly for ladies - is going to make an appearance in the two upcoming Tolkien related movies. Not quite sure how he will fit in since his character is not featured at all in the books. Still nontheless, it's good that Jackson tries to keep a momentum

Preview: Transformers 3 rocks better than the other two?
The early buzz for the thrid chapter of the popular "Transformers" franchise is set into motion and it is ready to be unleashed in glorious - kill me now- 3D and in IMAX 3D, entitled "Dark of the moon". We all remember how bad T2 was with its completely incomprehensible storyline, waste of time and energy and weird/bizarre robots that had accents and made sexual jokes!? However, despite the huge

Review: Hanna - Montana it is not!
Joe Wright's "Hanna" will bring recent memories of the scene stealing "Hit girl", in the comic book adaptation of "Kick ass". Both trained assassins since they were very young by their dads (Eric Bana and Nicolas Cage) and the similarities end here. KA was a parody of the superhero genre, a fresh (adult) take, a geek heaven with brilliant action sequences and a solid cast. "Hanna" is more serious

Blu Ray review: Mortal Kombat - Flawless Victory!
Well what can i say about the first "Mortal Kombat"? Besides being my favourite film of all time, i recently watched it on glorious blu ray and this viewing made me appreciated it even more. See MK was released in 1995, a movie era where not too many special effects had replaced the story and the actors. This marks the first studio effort of Paul Anderson (now called Paul W.S Anderson) and what

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer
The official trailer for Hary Potter part 2 has been released. I have to admit looks pretty epic and hopefully the last installement will have freaking action! Part 1 was a tremendous ... disapointment because it felt like a setu up for the finale. Some epic scenes seem to be taling place...I guess we will have to wait and see...
Review: Thor - How dare you not like the Son of Odin?
Just returned from an exclusive preview of Kenneth Brannagh's "Thor". Besides Thor being one of my favourite comic book characters of all time, it was nice to see the amount of effort that director and crew put into this motion picture. The most important thing is to be able to maintain a balance between silly and serious. Thor sometimes refers to himself in the third person and despite doing

The Avengers: starts shooting today!
That's it! You heard it. Marvel's biggest bet in cinematic history begins today. Under the directing and writing duties of Joss Whedon, "The avengers" starts shooting today. Why though is such a big deal? Besides the fact it will include tones - i imagine- visual effects, i think it will be a joy to see on screen the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Hawkeye and

After numerous rumours about the roles of Joseph Gordon Lewitt and Marion Cotillard in the final installment in the Nolan directed "Batman" franchise, it was officially announced which part they will play. Marion Cotillard will be Miranta Tate, a "Wayne Industries board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham". JGL on the other hand
Deapool motion pic moving on: Director found!
Nobody saw that coming! The "Deadpool" film found its director. Robert Rodriguez was reported to be sitting in the director's chair- now i would have loved his R-Rated version!- but unfortunately, the helmer would be visual effects specialist Tim Miller who worked in the effects team behind "X-men","X-men 2", "Daredevil" and "Scott Pilgrim vs the world". Kaboom! This is definetely not a good sign

Finally after months of speculation, the reboot of Superman simply titled "The man of steel" is obtaining a shape form. The villain of the Zack Snyder directed pic is General Zod, a fan favourite after the iconic film "Superman II". Zod was previously portayed by Terence Stamp, a great actor in a truly memorable performance. Now, Michael Shannon- "Broawalk Empire"- will step into the shoes of

Poster: Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2 - it ends!
This i have to admit is a cool poster just because it includes Mr Voldermort. What i hate though about the Harry Potter flicks since i haven't read any of the books is the fact that their main hero sucks. He hasn't won any major fights, is a coward, keeps complaining about everything, his social environment is more active than him and more smart and more vicious while having more experience in
