Poll: Which movie has the best car chase scene?

18 May 2013 8:20 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »

 

It’s all about feeling the need for speed and putting the pedal to the metal!  With the sixth instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise speeding into theatres, we’re looking back at some of our all-time favourite chase sequences on film.

From the Steve McQueen classic Bullitt featuring some of the most heart-pounding chase scenes up and down the steep streets of San Francisco to the racing Mini Coopers in 1969’s The Italian Job, we’re big fans of old school racing.  Of course, there’s room for some modern cars and tricked out rides in Gone in Sixty SecondsQuantum of Solace, and the movie that started it all, 2001's The Fast and the Furious.

 

You’ve got a green light to cast your vote for the movie with the best chase scene(s) in our poll on the next page! »

17 May 2013 1:33 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace, Oblivion) has joined Piece Brosnan for the spy-thriller November Man, based on the November Man series of books by Bill Granger.

Synopsis: 

With shooting set to start in Europe on May 20th, November Man tells the story of an ex-cia operative (Brosnan) who finds himself pitted against his former pupil (Luke Bracey) in a race to find a woman hiding from her past (Kurylenko) who holds the key to an international conspiracy. 

The film is directed by Roger Donaldson who previously directed Jason Statham in The Bank Job (2008).

Donaldson also directed the film The World’s Fastest Indian in 2005.

In Serbia Network reported recently that Brosnan was in Serbia working on November Man. This makes sense as shooting is set to begin in Europe on May 20th.

Christopher Nolan Has Been Approached To Direct Next 007

17 May 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

In March, Empire reported that Sam Mendes, who directed the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, would not return to direct Bond 24. This was bad news because Skyfall was a critical and commercial success. After the lukewarm Quantum of Solace, Mendes had steered the ship back into Casino Royale territory.

How lucky are we, to have had two incredible Bond films within a span of 6 years? It’s a bit of a Bond renaissance if you ask me and it could continue if this next bit of news pans out the way we want it to…

Daily Mail reports that Christopher Nolan has been approached to direct the next James Bond film.

Daily Mail says informal talks have begun between Nolan’s representatives and the producers of the almighty Bond films.

Although this is exciting news, Nolan is currently working on his sci-fi epic, Interstellar. Would this affect his ability to direct Bond 24?

Christopher Nolan for James Bond Movie? Director Reportedly Courted to Direct

17 May 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

If there's one thing that is very, very, very clear, it's that “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan loves James Bond. Ever since he decided to do massive movies, he has included sequences that could have been lifted directly from one of the dashing adventures of Britain's most suave superspy. Nolan knows how to mimic James Bond set pieces in tone and intensity. There's the Hong Kong sequence from “The Dark Knight,” the whole third act of “Inception” (with the snow fort, which seems to have been a hodgepodge lift of various Bond tropes), and the opening sequence of “The Dark Knight Rises,” which had more jaw-dropping spectacle than all of “Quantum of Solace” combined. Now, Nolan may get his chance to do a 007 entry himself. According to the UK paper the Daily Mail (so please, find the biggest grain of salt you can and take it), “informal talks have begun »

4 Reasons Why Christopher Nolan Should Direct Next James Bond Film

17 May 2013 4:33 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

He’s a director that has been established as a visionary from as far back as his second full-length feature Memento, and proved again and again with his Batman trilogy that he had many tricks up his sleeve. And though I’ve somewhat tarnished my personal view of the infallibility of Inception, I can’t escape that it’s a visual bravado of a film. And if you’ll notice, there are a few recurring motifs in Nolan’s writing that just make him perfect for the James Bond franchise. And, though it’s well-documented on the Internet, Nolan’s not been afraid to be vocal about his love for James Bond.

“I’ve loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they’re always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I’d love to do a Bond film. »

New Images of Brad Pitt in World War Z

13 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Paramount have already been having a strong year at the box office so far, most recently debuting Star Trek Into Darkness in UK cinemas ahead of the blockbuster’s release in the Us this Friday. And with Abrams’ blockbuster all but guaranteed success, eyes will soon start turning to the next film on the studio’s slate: World War Z.

Brad Pitt is front and centre of the zombie blockbuster, and it’s been some time since we’ve seen him take on a role like this. If you ask me, its June 21st release date can’t come fast enough.

The latest trailer hit back in March, giving us an even better look at what promises to be one of the best movies of the summer. And now two new images have surfaced online, showing Pitt alongside his on-screen family.

Gemma Arterton: 'Our house was a bit Ab Fab at times'

The English actress on going clubbing with her mum, her new role in a 'neo-feminist vampire movie' and why she has no regrets about playing Bond girl Strawberry Fields

The first time we see Gemma Arterton in her new film, Byzantium, she is biting off the nose of a lecherous punter in a lap-dancing club. Soon after, dressed in a stripper's outfit and running shoes, she shows a good turn of speed for a 200-year-old soucouyant and then garottes another man with cheese wire. Byzantium is a vampire film, but we already know it's altogether darker, sexier and more gleeful than some recent incarnations of the genre. At the heart of the action are Clara (Arterton) and her daughter, Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan), and their battle against an all-male cabal that wants to hunt them down.

The 27-year-old Arterton has always been drawn to the weird and eclectic – the film that »

The Extraordinary Adventures Of Adèle Blanc-Sec Comes Home August 13th

10 May 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

There’s a real winner on the horizon. Unfortunately, it’s a ways off. Still, we’ve got the news about The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec coming to Blu-Ray and DVD, and it’s worth taking a look. Based on a wildly popular French comic, the story gives us something akin to the young, female Indiana Jones, and just off the trailer (nevermind the critical acclaim the film has already received), it looks like a fantastic family film.

Take a look a the trailer, and get all the details below.

 

Synopsis

The year is 1912. This is the story of an intrepid young reporter Adèle Blanc-Sec and her quest for the power of life over death. Her journey would take her to distant lands to face many dangers beneath the sands. She will go to any lengths to achieve her aims, including sailing to Egypt to tackle mummies of all shapes and sizes. »

10 Best James Bond Villain Deaths

10 May 2013 7:02 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Every hero needs his villain: to give him a purpose, an obstacle, a reason to exist even. Iconic though the central character always is, the James Bond films often live or die on the strength of their villains. Take Skyfall for instance; was not one of the principal reasons why it was superior to Quantum of Solace that Raoul Silva was simply a far more memorable villain than Dominic Greene? Was not one of the most gripping aspects of the 1960′s Bond films the increasing appearance of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, whose character lent much menace and mystery to the series?

But on purely cinematic terms, the villains are there primarily also to engage Bond physically: they are essential to the action set-pieces and such encounters are usually moments of high tension. If the struggle becomes a fight-to-the-death we’re never in any doubt as to the outcome, but the excitement »

13 Hollywood Loopers

6 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

The visual effects department had to do a pretty bang-up job to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look even remotely similar to a young yippee ki-yaying mother-f---er Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's time-hopping "Looper," but since Hollywood's baddest, baldest ass-kicker was blessed with three daughters and no sons in real life, there wasn't much of a choice. Sure, all that pain and suffering ultimately paid off, but there are some people who've got it way, way easier.

For fellow action hero Will Smith, for example, his prime mini-me is his own son Jaden who doesn't need a stitch of prosthesis to pull it off because, you know, doy. The two star as, surprise surprise, father and son in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi thriller "After Earth," and we swear that the older Fresh Prince Jr. gets, the more of that Big Willie Style he inherits.

Star Trek Into Darkness Review

5 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

J.J. Abrams left himself a tough act to follow after the surprise success of his daring 2009 Star Trek reboot, which re-imagined the franchise as a sleeker, sexier, shiner outfit simultaneously tailored to both hardcore fans and new initiates. Though it struggles to live up to the breath of fresh air that was Abrams’ first film, this sophomore effort is nevertheless an exhilarating, entertaining thrill-ride that clips by at a confident pace, even if that ultimately might also be one of its key problems.

Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and the crew of the Enterprise are this time tasked with stopping John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), a top Starfleet agent who has gone rogue, laying waste to London in an attack that has catastrophic consequences. With Harrison having fled to the Klingon world Kronos, putting an end to his path of destruction won’t be easy, and diplomatic relations notwithstanding, »
