man of steel - official poster slice

Courtesy of Coming Soon at the Licensing Expo 2012 in Las Vegas, we have a first look at the costume to be worn by Jor-El, Superman’s biological father in Zack Snyder’s upcoming reboot of the popular DC Comics franchise.

Back in 1993 Michael Douglas’ disgruntled D-Fens took to the streets of LA to lash out against the injustices he saw mounting around him. It is in this spirit that comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (World’s Greatest Dad) has written and directed God Bless America, a dark, blood spattered comedy. In a hateful culture obsessed with reality television, materialism and fear-mongering, Goldthwait takes Falling Down to the next level and in doing so, hits on some awfully harsh truths.

A very funny new trailer has been released for Hollywood sci-fi comedy The Watch, starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Britain’s very own Richard Ayoade on top form.

Dodge meets his neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley), clinging to her beloved vinyl collection and realising that she has wasted so much of her time and energy on relationships that do not matter. A neighbourhood riot finally forces Dodge out of his stupor and Penny from her sleeping condition. The two go on the road with Dodge promising he can get Penny back to her family in England and Dodge to the one-time love of his life. With all bets off, people revert to their true selves before it is too late, finally condensing life into what really matters.

In a remarkable U-turn on his previously stated opinions, legendary film composer Hans Zimmer, responsible for the music behind The Lion King, The Dark Knight and Gladiator, has signed on to provide the score for the Superman reboot Man Of Steel.

fifty shades

There’s a new craze sweeping the nation (granted, most of the female population, but nonetheless). Shops have sold out and it’s almost impossible to go anywhere without seeing people with it or hearing its name spoken.

Fifty Shades of Grey.

Ever watched a film and wondered why on earth it didn’t win an Oscar? Why a certain actor or actress gave the performance of a lifetime yet still didn’t receive the attention they deserved?  Why a script was so original and enjoyable, it’s an actual crime when the film was overlooked during the awards season?

We take a look at five of our most shocking award snubs in recent years...

Taken 2 - Top Slice

Taken surprised everyone. The modestly budgeted actioner was a box office smash and propelled prestige actor, Liam Neeson, into the action hall of fame. A sequel was inevitable.

Based on the international trailer for Taken 2, we are likely getting a lot more of the same, and that's probably no bad thing.

prunella

In this interview with Joe Utichi, Prunella Scales discusses what it was like working as a young actress with David Lean and Charles Laughton on this perennial comedy, showing at cinemas across the country on Tuesday, 26th June as part of Studiocanal's Made in Britain season.

What if we discovered that Jimi Hendrix or Elvis hadn’t died but were actually still alive and well and living their lives not knowing how loved and revered they had been for decades? It is such a musical fairy tale story that is told in Swedish first time feature length documentary director’s Malik Bendjelloul’s Searching for Sugar Man.
