  • Pretty Woman Re-released For Valentine’s Day

    For those who can’t quite face the horrors of watching Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day, you’ll be glad to know that another option is at hand. Pretty Woman is getting a limited re-release on Valentine’s Day, celebrating 21 years (21 years?!) of moulding women into whatever you want them to be.


  • Hugh Laurie To Star In Oranges

    The LA Times’ 24 Frames blog has reported that Laurie is in serious discussions to play the lead in a small indie-film entitled Oranges, in which an older man (Laurie) has an affair with the daughter of a family friend. Mila Kunis is apparently set to play the foxy youngster, and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester also fits in somewhere, though it’s too early to know where all the pieces fit. But of what we’ve heard so far, this is looking to be a pretty exciting jigsaw (and we wouldn’t say that lightly).


  • Brangelina Sue British Press

    After being asked to retract speculation about Brad Pittand Angelina Jolies meeting with a divorce lawyer, The News Of The World has ploughed on with the marriage-break-up story regardless. And now they have to face the wrath of two of the biggest celebrities in the world. We don’t know about them, but we’d be scared.


  • The Time Traveler’s Wife

    Based on the novel of the same name, The Time Traveler’s Wife explores a sometime traditional love story in a very untraditional way. It centes on the lives of two people ‘fated’ to be together, but one is plagued by a (very) rare disease; that he randomly jumps through time, so that their relationship is fundamentally fragmented, heartbreaking and frankly, very, very confusing.


  • 24: The Movie?

    Not content with conquering the world of TV, it seems like our favourtie permanantly frowing hero Jack Baur is set to take on the big screen. Watch out world. Baur is coming for you, and his time management is frighteningly accurate.


  • Gyllenhaal and Carrey To Star In A Musical

    We have to admit, when we first caught a glimpse of Jake Gyllenhaal moody and mysterious face in Donnie Darko, the question that really struck our soul was, “This sulking in corners thing is great and everything, but can this boy dance?” It could be that finally, those querying demons will finally be answered!


  • Avatar Finally Knocked Off No 1 Spot

    Whew! We were beginning to think that it would never happen, and our site would only be able to report news like ‘Avatar Is Still Good’ and ‘James Cameron Makes Even More Cash’ until our fingers were worn down to the bone. But thankfully, this is not so.The US box office finally has a new number one- Dear John has replaced Avatar as the USA’s current movie of choice.


  • Invictus

    On February 11, 1990 when Nelson Mandela walked free from Robben Island after more than a quarter of a century of incarceration in his eight feet by eight feet cell, he discovered a country divided by apartheid. How could he bring people together? By uniting team and supporters on the rugby pitch. Director Clint Eastwood has done it again with Invictus, a wonderfully uplifting film that follows the true story of Nelson Mandela’s quest to reuinte his fractured country through the peaceful bonds of of giant men bashing into each other.


  • Astro Boy

    Astro Boy is the classic tale of a young boy trying to get along with what life gives him. Making friends, getting by and generally having a good old time, he’s just like you and me. The only difference is that this kid is a robot. And people want to kill the death out of him. It’s a futuristic Pinnocchio-inspired CGI romp, and whilst it has a lot to recommend it, ultimately there’s not a lot of human heart beating behind it.
