The Expendables 2 Trailer Released [VIDEO]
04 May 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Because what last year’s homage to excessive, overblown action movies needed most of all was a sequel. Starring even more overhauled action heroes – like Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger – and, at a guess, more slow-motion explosions and weapon puns, it looks like something you guys should probably watch.

26 Apr 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Last year, James Cameron called on filmmakers to start shooting film at 48 frames per second – twice the industry standard, and twice as smooth, visually.

Watch The Trailer For The ‘Total Recall’ Remake [VIDEO]
03 Apr 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I was all set to hate the Colin-Farrell-starring remake of 1990’s Total Recall (which had Arnold Schwarzenegger portray an amnesiac freedom fighter from Mars) – but it actually looks pretty rad! Flying cars, memory implants, and Jessica Biel are all things that make good movies good. Take a look.

20 Mar 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hey, you remember the Leprechaun horror franchise? No? Well don’t worry, somebody at Lionsgate did, and they’re totally rebooting the idea that maybe the tiny green-clad people are in fact vindictive, murderous drunks.
