Fear, Blood, and Panic in Red-Band First Trailer for V/H/S/2
10 hours ago
The anthology horror movie V/H/S debuted at Sundance last year to brilliant early reviews, and almost a year later to the day, the anthology sequel, V/H/S/2, returned to Utah to equally promising praise.
The film has continued on the festival circuit in recent weeks, and with only a few more to go before its early VOD release, ahead of its theatrical rollout, Magnet have debuted the terrific and very red-band first trailer online.
Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find another collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student’s disappearance.
Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett return to the helm once more for V/H/S/2, and they’re joined by a new line-up of directors, led by Gareth Evans (The Raid), Eduardo Sánchez »

New Trailer for DreamWorks’ Turbo with Ryan Reynolds
11 hours ago
Having found a big family hit in The Croods this spring, DreamWorks will be back on the big screen in the summer season with another animated blockbuster bound to be a family-favourite in Turbo.
The Croods took north of half a billion dollars at the box office, which was a big win for the studio coming off the back of Rise of the Guardians’ unfortunate loss last year, and I for one can’t wait to see what they have in store for us with Turbo.
The last we saw of the film was two great full-length trailers back in March, right around the time the studio were gearing up for The Croods. And now they’ve debuted another great UK trailer, featuring some great new footage.
From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, Turbo is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail who kicks into overdrive »

Broadchurch DVD review
11 hours ago
Broadchurch is the immensely popular, and some might say surprise, hit TV drama of the year so far with David Tennant and Olivia Colman in the starring roles against a backdrop of gorgeous Dorset scenery and a puzzling death of a young boy in a quiet seaside community.
Enter grizzled detective Di Alex Hardy (David Tennant) who seems to have unfortunately chosen Broadchurch as a quiet escape from a stain on his reputation and is teamed with local copper and friend of the dead boy’s family Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) who is determined to find the killer but equally keen to protect her friends in the community from the harsh manner and questions of her new colleague.
As the case goes on Di Hardy roots out some of the secrets that the inhabitants of Broadchurch have been carrying with them and in some cases their unwillingness to be more »

11 hours ago
Making its world premiere out at Cannes this week, Blood Ties sees acclaimed French director Guillaume Canet making his English language debut, bringing together one of the best casts of the year for the upcoming thriller.
Led by Clive Owen and Billy Crudup as two brothers in 1970s New York, the film has screened Out of Competition at Cannes, and now Mars, its French distributor, have debuted the first red-band international teaser trailer and a very cool, retro-looking poster.
New York, 1974. Fifty year-old Chris has just been released on good behavior after several years in prison following a gangland murder. Waiting for him reluctantly outside the prison gates is his younger brother, Frank, a cop with a bright future. Chris and Frank have always been different, and their father, Leon, who’d raised them alone, seems strangely to prefer Chris – this, despite all his troubles.
Yet blood ties are the ones that bind. »

Six of the Best Tarantino Scenes
13 hours ago
The films of Quentin Tarantino offer many potential choices when you’re compiling a collection with the title you see above.
The obvious choices spring gleefully to mind: the countless bodies falling at the sword of The Bride in the slaughter of The Crazy 88, the final stand off between Mr White, Nice Guy Eddie and Joe Cabot, dance time at Jack Rabbit Slims, the final curtain call at Le Gramaar and so on.
Each new film brings a number of show stopping scenes to Tarantino’s stockpile and with Django Unchained out on DVD and Blu-ray today there are many great moments to be enjoyed as Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx seek revenge in Tarantino’s self-dubbed ‘Southern’, one of which we have included below.
Without further ado here are the six scenes from Mr. Tarantino which we enjoyed the most.
The making of Mr. Orange.

The HeyUGuys Interview: Amanda Seyfried talks Epic, Seth MacFarlane and Her Dream Role
14 hours ago
Amanda Seyfried is clearly a standout in the realm of young leading ladies with huge roles in films like Les Miserables, Mamma Mia!, and Jennifer’S Body. We got a chance to sit down with her as part of our coverage of Fox’s new animated film, Epic.
Seyfried plays Mk, a young girl who goes off to live with her eccentric scientist father after her mother passes. Her father insists that a race of tiny people inhabit the woods, leading Mk to believe that he is crazy. When an encounter with the Queen of the indigenous little people results in Mk being reduced to their size, she decides to help them defeat the evil Mandrake once and for all.
We talked about many things including working on an animated project, which musical role would be a dream come true to play, and also Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming western/comedy »

Terrific First Full-Length Trailer for Europa Report with Sharlto Copley
14 hours ago
Back in November last year, we saw a very intriguing first teaser trailer for The Europa Report, a sci-fi thriller movie led by District 9’s Sharlto Copley.
At the time, we weren’t sure exactly when to expect it to hit theatres. But with Magnet since setting the film’s release date for this summer, hitting VOD in June and theatres in August, the first full-length trailer has been released, and it has us even more intrigued.
A unique blend of documentary, alternative history and science fiction thriller, Europa Report follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist underneath Europa’s icy surface and may contain single-celled life, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world »

Jackie Chan Updates on his role in The Expendables 3, and a New Film Series with Chris Tucker
15 hours ago
Jackie Chan has indicated that he will star in The Expendables 3 if he can make his schedule work. In an interview with Getty Images Entertainment at the Cannes Film Festival, the martial arts legend confirmed that Sylvester Stallone’s tweets about his possible involvement in the threequel are not far off the mark.
I would love to work with Stallone. I’m going to meet him and see what happens. I am supposed to be in The Expendables 3 but at the time I am meant to be doing Chinese Zodiac. I cannot promise you anything but let’s see what happens. I would love to do it. I love Stallone.
When asked about the on-off action sequel Rush Hour 4, Jackie said that rather than reuniting with Chris Tucker to revive the franchise, they are looking at starting a whole new one.
He explained,
I think maybe not a Rush Hour 4. »

Epic Review
15 hours ago
Rivalling DreamWorks and Pixar animation studios is certainly no easy task, but Blue Sky Studios are triumphantly getting along with things, consistently making a profit on their reasonable back catalogue. Boasting the likes of Rio and the popular Ice Age franchise, they now return with Chris Wedge’s Epic, an adventure in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids mould. However, though this may certainly be a more advanced, contemporary take on the the 1989 family adventure, it’s lacking in that same ingenuity.
When teenager Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried) loses her mother to illness, she is forced to go and live with her estranged and somewhat unconventional father (Jason Sudeikis), who is completely transfixed with the idea that a community of miniature people live in the forest. Though sceptical, when Mk is magically transported into a tiny person, deep into the forest, she becomes embroiled in a war between good and evil. »

Emma Watson declares a Zombie Invasion in New Clip from This Is The End
15 hours ago
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are making their long-overdue directorial debuts this summer with This Is The End, and it’s naturally guaranteed to be one of the funniest movies of the year.
Seth Rogen and co. + Apocalypse + Celebrity Cameos = Guaranteed Comedy Genius.
Fact.
Of the many, many celebrity appearances that the film boasts, one of the few I’m most looking forward to seeing is Emma Watson’s performance. With just a matter of weeks before This Is The End hits the big screen, Sony have released a great new clip giving us a look at Watson in the film alongside Rogen and co.
Six friends are trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their »

Six Of The Best: Clint Eastwood Acting Performances
16 hours ago
Having already looked at Clint Eastwood’s prodigious output as a director, with genuinely top drawer work spread across the past forty years, it seems like a good time to look at his work as an actor too as his latest film, Trouble with the Curve, is out on DVD now.
After his first significant big screen role (1964′s A Fistful of Dollars), Eastwood averaged better than one lead role a year until the mid-90′s when he finally started to slow down a little (at least in front of the camera) and in the same way as very few directors have as strong a hit-rate as Eastwood over that long a career, so is the case for his acting output. Although he was dismissed in some quarters for years as a grizzled, taciturn performer he has always had range and genuine ability.
As some of the roles featured below demonstrate, »

First Poster for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom with Idris Elba
16 hours ago
Justin Chadwick’s biopic, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, is all but guaranteed to be a strong contender at the Oscars this year, particularly with the muscle of The Weinstein Company behind it and a late November Us release date set.
The film sees Idris Elba take the titular role as the world-renowned South African politician, who served as President from 1994 to 1999, and who was the first black South African to hold the position. And with a little over half a year before the film arrives in theatres, the first poster has been released online, with Elba front and centre.
The story of South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, spanning over seventy years, including his struggle against apartheid, 27 years in jail and his rise to prominence as a political leader and head-of-state.
Elba stars opposite Naomi Harris, perhaps best known for her recent performance opposite Daniel Craig in Skyfall, who plays Winnie Mandela. »

Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone & Martin Short join Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice
17 hours ago
As a big fan of the original novel, I cannot wait to see what Paul Thomas Anderson brings to the big screen with his adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice.
Anderson has been developing the project for a while now, with Robert Downey, Jr. originally set for the lead of Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello. And whilst Downey, Jr. ultimately moved on from the project, with Joaquin Phoenix now set to take the lead, the anticipation surrounding it hasn’t dimmed in the slightest.
Casting has been coming along nicely recently, with Owen Wilson and Benicio del Toro coming on board the project.
And now we have a few more names to add to the list, with Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone, and Martin Short all joining alongside Phoenix, Wilson, and del Toro.
Courtesy of Waterstones, here’s the original synopsis for Pynchon’s Inherent Vice:

Joss Whedon confirms Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch for The Avengers 2
18 hours ago
Following the success of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers last year, which fast became one of the most successful movies of all time, talk very quickly turned to a sequel, and what Whedon would bring to the table for The Avengers 2.
The Avengers was such a game-changing, bar-raising movie, and it’s difficult to imagine (until we actually see it in 2015) what direction Whedon will go for The Avengers 2. I have complete faith that he’s going to outdo even himself – not just in terms of bigger blockbuster moments, but in terms of bringing us a character-driven movie that is every bit as entertaining as its predecessor (see our top ten list of who we think may appear here).
One of the things we’ve all naturally been wondering is who will be showing up for round two, amongst the faces we’ve already seen in the Marvel »
