Look! The Captain America Trailer! Show Enthusiasm!

March 24th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the release of the new Captain America film, despite the fact that, as superheroes go, Captain America is pretty lame. He’s called Captain America for starters – how lame is that?

Anyway, the first full movie trailer for Paramount/Marvel flick has arrived online, much to everyone’s initial thrill.

Captain America: The First Avenger has been directed by Joe Johston (who did… uh… Jurassic Park III and Jumanji… Christ, this is going to be awful isn’t it?) and stars (no, not that one) Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Stanley Tucci, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Derek Luke and Neal McDonough. For the most part: Who? Whatever. Trailer is over the jump.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

August 5th, 2012 By David Schwartz

What would you do for the love of a good woman? Buy her flowers every day? Sure. Go and see Sex And The City 3 whenever it comes out on the cinema? Maybe. Give up your dreams just so you can hold it against her when your once-strong relationship inevitably ends in bitter recriminations and crude accusations? Probably. So how about fighting her seven evil ex-boyfriends to the death?

Forget it. As someone slightly more famous than me once said – I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.

To be honest, I am not sure I would do he others either ? but I guess that's why I am single (no, really, I am). Thankfully, we have blokes like Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) who would, just to win the love of the quirkily-coiffured Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). And it’s a good job, as it would have been a very short film if he hadn?t.

Trailer: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

August 5th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

There’s a new film coming out which you’ve probably heard about called Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. It stars deadbeat charmer Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera from Juno) who plays bass in a band called Sex Bob-omb. He falls for the elusive Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead from of Live Free or Die Hard) and she has seven exes who want to kick his arse to death.

And we have a sneaky peaky at the film in video form, along with words spoken by the mouth of director Edgar Wright (y’know? Spaced, Shaun of the Dead?).

It does actually look rather good in a trashy, comicbook Kick-Ass kinda way. Bad news if you thought Kick-Ass was rubbish or a sex-offender’s dream (c/o Daily Mail). Anyway, click over the jump for a preview.

Tom Cruise Causes Sleeper Puns to Take Over the Internet. We’re Not Happy.

August 19th, 2008 By Ian Dransfield

Tom Cruise is continuing his run of trying to make people think he’s less of a massive mental, religious freak.

First he stopped jumping around like a particularly stupid chimp, he stopped going on about Scientology in public – though he did see some of his private video collection released, much to the delight/terror (delete as appropriate) of the general public – and he’s seeing some rave reviews flying about for his small role in Tropic Thunder. So what next?

Well, it’s obvious isn’t it? Star in a superhero film, and get someone like Sam Raimi on board to produce. Which is, apparently, what’s being pushed for by Tom Cruise and Warner Bros, who own the rights to Sleeper – a short running comic book series from a few years back. Well, Raimi’s already on board, but you get the point.

And you can’t fault the man’s logic.
