Nora Ephron - “An inspiration for women film-makers when there were few.” (Director’s Guild of America) - 19th May 1941 to 26th June 2012.

I really enjoyed Cronenberg’s first feature, Stereo, as I explained in the first of my retrospectives of the great auteur. It was an interesting planting of the seed that would later grow into the career of one of the greatest horror directors ever to have lived. His second film, Crimes Of The Future, is a slightly different beast.

A new international trailer has been released for Rian Johnson’s upcoming time travel sci-fi Looper.
However, Johnson has warned fans excited for the film’s release to avoid any trailers from now on.

Fans of Kevin James’ comedy output – if there are any – will be glad to see that his new movie Here Comes The Boom promises more of the same if this new trailer is anything to go by.

It has been quite some time since I saw a movie trailer so absolutely shit the bed at the last minute, but 20th Century Fox's Epic has managed this with gusto.
Lucky punters who go to midnight IMAX screenings of The Amazing Spider-Man on July 3rd will receive exclusive IMAX posters, featuring Andrew Garfield and Rhys Ifans as hero and villain respectively.

Steve Coogan’s much-loved radio and TV presenter character Alan Partridge is finally to hit the big screen in 2013, according to the comic himself.

With eyes as big as fish bowls and stripy knickerbockers, it’s hard not to enjoy the art of Tim Burton. But we have toiled through too many years of slapdash remakes with Johnny Depp, and my faith in Mr Bonham-Carter has begun to wane.
But this October sees the release of an original (and rather promising) story of zombie pets. Frankenweenie is based on Burton’s own short film of the same name, and the latest trailer gives us a rich taste of the stop-motion animation and exaggerated characters.

With Rock of Ages just released, and Les Miserables out this Christmas, the world’s about to go all Barbra Streisand! But if your musical tastes tend to include sororities and punch, then may I recommend Pitch Perfect?

Early trailers for The Bourne Legacy have been promising with a glowering Jeremy Renner looking perfectly capable of stepping into Matt Damon's taciturn boots. Now it seems that a possible union of the two rogue agents could be realised in a sequel to Legacy.
