First five minutes of Sucker Punch online

The awesome opening of Sucker Punch is online to view, and it looks fantastic, drives at a relentless pace, and even those opening scenes are enough to have the tension rising and you feeling slightly off key about the story. It's rather fantastic. I'm not holding court to all the...

Schwarzenegger's return doesn't look good

If you were hoping for Arnold Schwarzenegger to return to film straight away after ending his term in politics then you're in for a disappointment. He's chosen the first entertainment project he's going to star in, but it's not film it's television, and all in all it's a worrying choice...

Matrix fan film Kaydara trailer

Fan films aren't really anything new, taking an idea from an existing film and creating your own story around or through it happens quite a lot, but not with films like Matrix, films packed full of high end special effects, a lead actor you could never afford, and a budget...

New English The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec trailer

There's a new lyrically voiced trailer for The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, the French, female, Indiana Jones character who was first written way back in 1972.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night trailer arrives

The full Dylan Dog: Dead of Night trailer in English has arrived and thankfully it's looking much better and much less Buffy-esque. Actually from this new trailer it's looking like there's going to be a lot more comedy, a kind of funnier Constantine (Filmstalker review) and really that's no bad...

Puss in Boots teaser trailer

I don't think that this is the trailer we really need to see for Puss in Boots to win us over, although I'm sure some are won over already by the fact that Antonio Banderas is going to be voicing a side character from the Shrek series that was cool...

FIlmstalker Film Club BAFTA 2011 Review

We've looked through the winners of the 2011 Orange BAFTA awards and discussed what should, and shouldn't have won. We've gone off on tangents about what awards are really about, the Academy Awards, gesture/end of life awards and if there should be an award for franchise or sequel. There's a...

Attack the Block trailer online, calm down everyone

It seems everyone's going mad for the trailer for Attack the Block, a trailer which is okay, has some funny moments and a rather cool idea, is written and directed by Joe Cornish and stars Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker and Luke Treadaway. So, it is starting to sound interesting, but...

I Am You / In Her Skin trailer

I never heard about I Am You before, until the story reminded me that it was previously called In Her Skin, or is it the other way around, I'm not sure. Either way the film stars Guy Pearce, Sam Neill and Miranda Otto, and that's an interesting cast, Pearce especially....

New Arthur trailer online

There's a new trailer online for Arthur and it's looking a bit more amusing than the previous, there's some of the Russell Brand charm popping through, and a guest appearance from a big real life name who doesn't mind being belittled in film, something that seems to be a favourite...

Water for Elephants trailer

A new trailer for Water for Elephants has arrived online and it's giving us more of the story and building up the romantic and dramatic sides of the story, as well as making sure we don't see that Reese Witherspoon is smoking in one of the scenes, what's that all...

Resident Evil: 5 happening?

I recently saw Resident Evil: Afterlife and was rather surprised at how enjoyable it all was, yes it was still light hearted fare, it had some huge plot holes and some rather silly moments and so much was left unexplained, but all in all it was one of the better...

Inspired by actual events: Amanda Knox and Oklahoma Bombing, biased films?

I've always been concerned about the representation of real life in film, as I brought up in the feature Historical accuracy in films, and there are two projects right now that have reminded me of this issue, and one of them is very alarming and could well be affecting people's...

Rumours are taking off just now about The Dark Knight Rises, and you'll remember a similar situation for The Dark Knight where there were some crazy rumours floating about, and some that were indeed close to the truth, however it was clear that the truth was very much in the...

RoboCop remake director found?

While my heart is with most people about why there shouldn't be a RoboCop remake, part of me can see that there's something different to be had from a new, harder and more grounded RoboCop film, but now that Darren Aronofsky isn't involved as director a little of the sheen...

The Dark Tower doubts over lead?

Back in January we heard the story that Javier Bardem was in negotiations to join The Dark Tower and take the lead of Roland Deschain The Gunslinger, and whatever I thought of the casting decision it seems that was the way it was to go. Or perhaps not. For a...

Closing Credits: Jane Russell

The legendary Jane Russell died yesterday leaving behind her some iconic roles and images, audiences of changed men, supported women, and adopted children. She's undoubtedly most remembered for her starring role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes alongside Marilyn Monroe and for those striking Hollywood images, yet there's so much more to...

Transformers: Dark of the Moon promises weight

We've heard it a couple of times before but this third Transformers film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, is promising more than the second film delivered, and more in a good way rather than the Hollywood "more" which would bring bigger, sillier and more robots. No there are promises here...
