Now that David Tennant has left the TARDIS, we have this to look forward to..
I’ve seen some funny things in my time, I really have. Star Wars kid has been and gone, as have the GI Joe parodies and a number of other internet funnies. However, short film-maker Richard Gale has completely blown away everything I’ve seen and set a new standard. If anything beats this in the next [...]
What? TWO posts containing cool videos during the course of one evening?! The human mind simply cannot handle such an entertainment overload! Well, you can at least try. Two guys have recreated part of ‘The Matrix’ using Lego and still photography to produce a stop-motion animation of the ‘bullet time’ scene that was broke new [...]
I came across this short film thanks to Sci-Fi Wire, and am absolutely blown away by the quality of it. Big frakkin’ robots attacking a city, with brilliant camera work & editing as well as outstanding special effects. The director of commercials in his native Uruguay, Fede Alvarez has now received the green light from a [...]
Check out the trailer for the first of David Tennant’s final three adventures as The Doctor after the cut. I’ll be posting a review of this episode over the weekend, and am looking forward to this immensely.
I’ve been hearing a lot about this low-budget ‘horror’ film that brings back the memories of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ back in 1998. It cost $11,000 to make and could be on course to make a crap load of cash, just as TBWP did; turning $25,000 into nearly $250,000,000. It is due for release in [...]
…has been announced. Now that Steven Moffat, the writer of several of the most critically acclaimed episodes of Nu-Who such as ‘Blink’, ‘Silence in the Library’ and the series one two-parter ‘The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances’ has taken over as Executive Producer for Doctor Who, it seems he is keen to make changes to the [...]
Just bumped into this on YouTube and haven’t seen it in a while. Absolutely brilliant, so very eighties. I have to admit I’d prefer more adverts like this from the marketing folks at Apple, rather than the current output they have. An Apple fanboi having a pop at Apple? Sure. :) Watch it after the jump.
I’m currently trying to get the beginning of the first draft of a documentary script written, and I could use your help and knowledge. I’m looking for examples to refer to in the opening few paragraphs of dialogue, and could use your help in the comments below. As part of the documentary I’m making, I use [...]
I’ve been following this now for some time, and I feel the need to share. I’m in no way a ‘fan’ of David Lynch, although the limited amount of his work I’ve been exposed to leads me to conclude I should be eating up pretty much everything he does, as I like his approach to filmmaking. I’m [...]
At last, after the quirky and brilliantly scripted ‘Burn After Reading’ (one of my favourite Coen films if not the most universally well received they have ever made) the Coen Brothers are back with ‘A Serious Man’, due for November release in the UK. IMDB.com have a brief synopsis up: A black comedy set in 1967 [...]
First of all, for those of you who haven’t seen the fake trailers that are shown before Robert Rodriguez’s half of the Tarantino-Rodriguez-B-movie-extravaganza ‘Grindhouse’, here is the trailer for ‘Machete’.
A friend of mine just reminded me via his Facebook status of ‘2012′, the latest in Roland Emmerich’s line of “we’re all going to f*cking die” films following on from his previous no-brain-required blockbusters ‘Independence Day’ and ‘The Day After Tomorrow’.
Just got word via the good folks over at Galactica Sitrep that the box art is online for the eagerly awaited DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the direct-to-disc Battlestar Galactica movie ‘The Plan’ due to hit the stores around October/November time in the US/UK. Check the box art out after the cut, and bear in [...]
…is perfect to round off the evening. Never rub another man’s rhubarb! Good night, and good luck.
Been a little distracted this past week, hence a halt to blogging. Anyway, bumped into this over the weekend, and as a huge fan of the book by Audrey Niffenegger I’m interested in seeing how well the screen adaption turns out. Without further ado I bring you the trailer for ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ I honestly [...]
I cannot believe that this has just come onto my radar, possibly the ‘Transformers’ marketing machine working its magic and blinding me to all other films. I’m surprised Bruce Willis is involved in this, but it looks rather awesome indeed; with a slight John McClane flavour to it I think you’ll agree. Surrogates will be hitting [...]
Okay, this is one remake I’m not sure I can stomach. As highlighted by BBC Entertainment News and originally reported by the Hollywood Reporter, Colombia Pictures have commissioned a writer to work on a new version of what I consider to be one of the greatest cult science fiction films ever to grace our screens. Look, [...]
There are sixteen, count them, six-frakkin-teen days remaining until our favourite robots in disguise grace our cinema screens yet again as ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen lands in the U.K, which is a perfect (but unnecessary) excuse for another robot themed ‘Web Wednesday’. With the global premiere happening this weekend, the marketing hype surround this [...]
Warning, here begins a backlog of blog posts I’ve half written over the weekend! Although the start date is yet to be announced (likely mid-to-late June), the BBC have released another, longer trailer for the upcoming series three that is unique in the respect that it will be broadcast over five consecutive evenings telling a single [...]
I was going to look for a lesser known film for Trailer Tuesday this week, but having spotted it, I had to post this as I’m a huge fan of both the universe and of Downey Jnr. Scheduled for release Xmas 2009: Is this too over the top for a Holmes film or is it the [...]
Stumbled across this while browsing my news feeds this afternoon. I never really saw much of the original 1980’s series, in fact I can’t remember much at all other than the basic premise of the show. A quick check on Wikipedia provides me with a nice short synopsis of the remake that is due to [...]
Opted for something non-sci-fi this week. During my first viewing of Star Trek last week, the one trailer that really caught my eye was for Public Enemies, the latest project to be graced by the presence of the legend that is Johnny Depp. It looks fantastic, so enjoy.

The war against Skynet (well, FOX in this case) seems to be going well, as over 300,000 fans have voted for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles to be saved in the recent EOnline.com ‘Save One Show’ poll where fans had to vote to keep one show alive. As noted on the official TTSCC blog (link [...]
Yes, it’s actually Wednesday but I saved this as a draft last night and forgot to post it before bed, therefore it is technically a trailer I picked, on Tuesday. :) Looks like it could be the black sheep this year, especially with Peter Jackson at the helm. Absolutely adore the documentary style, a lot of [...]
