Fan boys the world over (and film fans in general) are having trouble accepting Jose Padilha’s upcoming RoboCop remake. As we’ve seen many stories we cinephiles hold dear suffer a disastrous facelift (I’m looking at you Total Recall) it’s only a matter of time before everything gets remade and sorry Verhoeven fans, this too is coming whether we want it or not. Now trying to keep an open mind here, there are some decent bits to this production (like the supporting cast) but still not a whole lot points to any reason why this needed to be remade. Anyway here is the International trailer for Robocop which takes a look…

Michael Keaton Takes Hugh Laurie's Role in 'Robocop' Remake
Right when Jose Padilha‘s all-star Robocop remake was looking like it was going to be the biggest thing ever, it hit some snags. One of which were some of the director’s ideas that raised some eyebrows. Beyond that, one of the initial hits taken in the pre-production was the loss of Hugh Laurie from the project. But fear not OCP fans, the project has got a new baddie on board and in an odd yet possibly better decision Jose Padilha got a hold of one Michael Keaton. A personal favorite of Go,See,Talk Keaton has consistently been an unlikely but winning hit for most of his films. From Batman to Beetlejuice to Clean and Sober to Pacific…

G-S-T Review…The Dark Knight Rises
A third film seems to be the biggest pitfall in nearly every trilogy. Some see it as a challenge, and that’s likely what propelled director Christopher Nolan to return to the helm of the franchise he rebooted in 2005 with Batman Begins and hit out of the park in 2008 with The Dark Knight. Nolan has been trending steadily upward and seemed to be making strides to not only top his second Batman film, but also send him off with the knowledge that he created one of the greatest trilogies of the modern age and avoided the common trappings of the blockbuster films in the post-Avatar 3D era. Perhaps that was simply too much…

Sweet 3rd Trailer…'The Dark Knight Rises'
Well Bat-friends, we are getting ever closer to the last leg in Chritopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are two of the finest comic book adapations to ever grace the screen but more important are also just great films. Nolan has incredible reverence for the characters and the mythology and before we go up, up, and away with his Man of Steel project, here’s his final foray into the Gotham part of the DC universe. Behold, the final full trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Was that awesome or what?? No honestly, tell us because we couldn’t watch it. Reason? Well, we believe that a film as…

G-S-T Review…Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy brilliantly captures the zeitgeist of the Cold War era. For you purists out there, this work of art utilizes aged film grain throughout the entire picture. This is not a film set in the 1970’s, shot in HD and hurled at your face in 3D. This motion picture is one of the closest representations of a 1970’s spy film, since the 1970’s. If you still own, or ever owned, a Betamax VCR you might wish, for nostalgia sake only, that this movie was being released on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy, Ultraviolet Digital Copy and Betamax (not VHS).

Ohhh, Look…THR's Award Season Roundtable Series
2011 has been a banner year full of fantastic films both great and small. While we do our very best to give you the highs and lows of the good and bad out there we’ve still only managed to see a fraction of the noteworthy films this year….and it’s not from a lack of trying that’s for sure. Roughly 166 films populated cinema screens this year and we’ve only knocked a fraction of them off our must see list. Of the great number of films out there this year The Hollywood Reporter again showcases the best and the brightest with the return of their popular Roundtable Series. So if you’re like us and find your 2011 “seen…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
From director Tomas Alfredson comes the espionage throwback adaptation of John Le Carré’s best-selling novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Like Munich before it, this looks like a well crafted retro-styled spy thriller of the highest caliber. Sporting a highly impressive cast featuring Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Ciarán Hinds, Stephen Graham and John Hurt just to name a few, this all star line-up looks sure to please. But have a look as this seems, even for a teaser of less than perfect quality, like it’s firing on all the right cyllinders. Enjoy… (Note: We’ll get a proper trailer of higher quality as soon as it becomes available) Known for the stellar vampire film Let…

Ohhh, Look…The New Characters of 'Kung Fu Panda 2'
Over the years, Dreamworks Animation has been pretty hot on the heels of Pixar and dare I say even going toe to toe with their last couple of films. How to Train Your Dragon was a huge hit and they have just been putting out higher and higher quality pictures. I think it’s safe to say they have found their groove. Personally I adore 2008’s Kung Fu Panda and am eager to see what Dreamworks can do to expand the story. So what will Kung Fu Panda 2 have in store for us? From the looks of the images below, quite a lot! From ScreenRant, here are the first images of the new faces in…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Kung Fu Panda 2'
OK I have to admit that of the ho-hum and forgettable past Dreamworks Animation pictures, I was extremely surprised with Kung Fu Panda. While I believe that Jack Black is a dish made tolerable in small doses, he fit the character Po perfectly; clumsy, pitiful but still heartwarmingly hilarious. Anyway Dreamworks has been working on the follow up titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom and it’ll actually be here pretty soon. For now, take a look at the teaser trailer below… This upcoming animated film and the sequel to the 2008 film, Kung Fu Panda will be presented in 3-D. Directed by Jennifer Yuh, this sequel follows Po…
