WOW.This project sounded good, but who could've anticipated it'd look THIS GOOD? Love how they're leaning hard on "No. This is Michael B. Jordan's movie first and foremost," holding back on the idea that this isn't an entirely new franchise until the perfect moment to reveal you-know-who.And then... Holy hell. You had to know he'd end up wearing... yeah. But still...

Rating : 7/10Release Date : 26th June, 2015Time : 94 minutesDirectors, Writers : Pete Docter, Ronaldo Del Carmen; Music : Michael GiacchinoStarring : (voices of) : Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlanWhich are the different emotions that guide us, interplay inside our head ? What really does happen in there ? Wouldn’t we just want to be happy all the time ? Could we ? It’s always fun when an animated movie raises such fundamental questions…and answers them in its own simplistic style…Inside little Riley’s head run five emotions – Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness
Child 44
Rating : 5/10Release Date : 26th June, 2015Time : 137 minutesDirector : Daniel Espinosa; Writer : Richard Price, based on the novel by Tom Rob Smith; Music : Jon EkstrandStarring : Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Vincent Cassel, Fares Fares, Jason ClarkeThis is like one of those brooding, heavy Russian novels – where an oppressive, weighty air of depression hangs over everybody and everything (most of the movie is set in the just-rid-of Stalin 1953). I think there is actually just one scene where someone smiled. And in the midst of it all, Tom Hardy, a rising star of the secret service, has to cope with the intrigues of office pol
Two Guys You've Never Heard of Will Direct and Star In MARVEL (and Sony's) New SPIDER-MAN
Marvel's official blog has announced that Tom Holland is the new, Marvel Cinematic Universe official SPIDER-MAN. The young British actor (he's 19 but looks like he's barely out of grade school) will likely (read: definately, but we're supposed to pretend everyone doesn't already know this) be hitting the Atlanta, Georgia set of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR in the near future before embarking on his own franchise-starter solo feature; which the same blog post also reveals will be directed by Jon Watts, who helmed CLOWN for Eli Roth and whose COP CAR (the producers of which are popping champagne right now) turned heads at Sundance.Holland previo

Some ordinary ones. An over-stretched movie and plot, replete with storm-in-the-teacup kinda conflicts and emotional, melodramatic moments that fail to move you at allOur heroes from the first one are caught up in a scandal as they copy an international act, move for move, in a local competition. Rapidly becoming the nations biggest punching bag, they seek redem
Spy
Rating : 4/10Release Date : 19th June, 2015Time : 120 minutesDirector, Writer : Paul Feig; Music : Theodore ShapiroStarring : Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Jason Statham, Miranda Hart, Peter Serafinowicz, Richard Brake, Nargis Fakhri, 50 Cent, Allison Janney Lots of crude and crass humour, about a fifth of which is bleeped out and only a tenth makes you smile. Ludicrous situations. And the older-Bond-style villains, the type who’re happier to chit-chat than actually kill.Melissa moves from being CIA agent Jude Law’s voice, eyes and ears – basically his assistant and researcher – to being an agent on her own, thanks to a cert

It draws in thousands of visitors,
RIP Sir Christopher Lee - 1922-2015
Details are still coming in, but this much is clear: Sir Christopher Lee, one of our greatest actors, has died at age 93 from respiratory issues in hospital.Lee was best known for much of his life as an actor, and for much of that career as the main performer of Count Dracula for Hammer Films and as a sought-after character actor with a devout cult following thereafter; but his notoriety experienced a late-in-life explosion into the mainstream as Sarumon in the LORD OF THE RINGS films and Count Dooku in the STAR WARS Prequel Trilogy. In the mid-2000s, he embarked on yet another career as a heavy metal vocalist. His professional filmography is, frankly
