OK, we’ve been promised that this time, this time, is the final venture out into the world of Toy Story 3 marketing before the film hits us this summer. Admittedly, team Pixar have dragged out this campaign for as long as they possibly could, drip feeding us pictures of new characters, posters and little hints as to possible story for months now. The most infuriating thing is that… we bloody love it.
Jessica Biel, of such films as I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, Elizabethtown and Valentine’s Day, has decided that her good girl days are well and truly over. Not only is she starring amongst all the lads in the A-Team, but she’s announced today that she plans to star in a rape-revenge murder flick called – hold onto your pants – Mobgirl. Well, it’s nice to keep things simple, isn’t it?
It’s always nice to stay ahead of the curve, if only so you can feel unnecessarily smug in front of friends and loved ones. With this in mind Best For Film brings you what you need to know about next week’s film releases. Have a read, plan your week accordingly, and practice that lovely self-satisfied smile we all love you for…
Apparently so. It appears that Spain’s massively high illegal download rate has affected national DVDs sales so much that Hollywood distributors are contemplating cutting them off completely. Dios mio!
We wonder how often it is that the almighty Mouse House comes crawling back to someone they’ve fired? Henry Selik, creator of Coraline, has agreed to work for Disney after being let go by them some years back.
It looks like your classic David vs Goliath knife-fight is on this Halloween, with both Saw VII and Paranormal Activity 2 coming out on the 22nd October.
Lou Reed, former front-man of rock band The Velvet Underground has made a documentary that will premiere at the Visions du Réel festival in Nyon, Switzerland. What’s it about? Drugs? The heavy rock lifestyle? Actually, it’s about his 99 year old cousin, Shirley Novick, and it’s entitled Red Shirley.
Believe it or not, Baywatch: The Movie has been floating around (brilliant) for a while now, but there’s never been any word on director or cast members. However, perhaps with the announcement of the writers; Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, other news might come flooding in (somebody stop us!)
Released in 2005, the original Nanny McPhee was a strong successor to Mary Poppins in every way. Adapted from the Nurse Matilda books by Christianna Brand, the film pitted seven mischievous tykes against an ugly woman with a snaggle tooth, warts and an oversized nose, who had a few tricks up her sleeve when it came to childcare. Susanna White’s colourful sequel casts an even more bewitching spell, introducing the mysterious nanny to a family in crisis in wartime Britain.
Enter the next generation of comic-book movies. Kick-Ass is truly a brilliant and original take on a sorely overdone franchise, but if you’re looking for a laugh-a-minute flick you’ve come to the wrong place. Kick-Ass is not for the faint of heart, with humour as black as coal and violence to rival the goriest of horrors. However, it could be that it’s all the better for its darkness. Though its pretty impossible to avoid the hundreds of stars thrown in Kick-Ass’s direction, we tried our very hardest to come to it with an open mind. And we’re glad we did.
