EDGE OF DARKNESS – trailer

Not sure what to make of this one just yet,  it’s a thriller and my toes curling suspense radar is hitting red  just watching the trailer, so I guess its working….

SYNOPSIS

EDGE OF DARKNESS is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her murder.  His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder — and to CIA operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone) who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

EDGE OF DARKNESS is released in cinemas across the UK on 29^th January 2010. Certificate and running time TBC

Robin Hood – trailer

It’s set to be a box office smash! It might also be in 3D, but we don’t know just yet! We have our very own Ridley Scott directing this English piece of Nottinghamshire history.. He steels from the rich and gives to the poor, uses bow and arrows to hunt his victims and in modern day language, he’s called a terrorist! Yes you have guessed it. It’s Robin Hood.

The title role has been taken by Russell Crowe and our main man, Pietro Scalia has done a fantastic job of editing this wonderful trailer.

I’m excited because hollywood is putting out a remake of this British classic myth and it’s directed by a brit. Not only that he’s (Ridley) a complete northerner! So what’s my point? He is down to earth, a bit hard and takes his time over what he wants to achieve but then achieves it with complete dedication and focus.

I’m almost convinced he has actually meet Robin Hood and has been seen with him in Sherwood forest.

The budget is a lovely  $130,000,000, not bad for small change! It’s important to realise that Ridley has the same crew with him as his other films, such as Gladiator and Body of Lies.

The Princess and the frog

On Sunday 13th of December I went to see the official screening of The Princess and the frog. What Disney have done is re-made a classic into a classic! It’s simply fantastic, the depth of the colours, animation and story telling is pure genius. I had the pleasure if taking my family with me and my 6 year old nephew. He loved it so much. In fact this is a real family movie, they have got the balance just right, its a perfect film for all the family.

It’s a love story and a story about love.

Who do you vote? I know who I vote… They are all amazing and we have had a wonderful year in film. 500 Days of Summer is very funny, The hangover is reality but then again so is The hurt Locker. This is simply gripping and if you ever watch the news, then you’ll get a better understanding of what it’s like to be a nutter on the front line of the Iraq war!…. Hmm it’s a hard one to nominate.

A Prophet – movie trailer.

I’m scared.. Criminal activity is intimidating, it’s comes with bad territory, its grippingly fun and when gangsters have something to prove, they will beat anybody that stands in the way!

Go see this movie.. If you loved the Godfather, Once upon a time in America, Scareface you will love A Prophet.

Here the drill:-

Nineteen year-old Malik (Tahar Rahim) is condemned to six years in prison. Arriving in jail friendless and alone with no-one to protect him, he soon finds himself drawn into the brutal violence and gang warfare of daily prison life. Taken under the wing of a powerful boss, Malik is initiated into the criminal ranks. Once on the outside, he is entrusted with more and more important missions. But Malik is brave and a fast learner and secretly has his own plans that dont involve taking orders from anyone else.

Jacques Audiard, acclaimed director of The Beat That My Heart Skipped, brings us the winner of this year’s Grand Prix at Cannes. Having recently won the Best Film award at the London Film Festival and being hailed by critics as a classic in the same vein as The Godfather, A Prophet an instant classic of the crime genre.

Avatar movie

AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic,” first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not exist yet. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth’s energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human “drivers” have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora… the Na’vi.
Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na’vi who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na’vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake’s life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake’s relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na’vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

AVATAR opens in cinemas everywhere Thursday December 17, 2009.
