One of my favorite films of the last decade was the low-budget sci-fi movie District 9. In my review, I said that it’s such a distinctly moving, poignant and provocative film that makes you ponder long after the end credits roll. Not long after I saw the film, there’s immediate buzz for an inevitable sequel, which I [...]

Hello folks, I’m assuming it’s a short week for most of you? For sure I won’t miss this 3-4 day work-week like this come January when the hustle and bustle returns at the office. Well, The Dark Knight Rises trailer pretty much sidelined this post, but I still want to give y’all a rundown of [...]

Most of us know that actors turned down roles that would make the ones who accepted it become famous. There are many reasons why they didn’t accept these now famous roles, the main reason is probably they the film wouldn’t be a hit and probably their agents told them not to take it. Below are [...]

This weekend cinema-viewing choices came down to Rango and Adjustment Bureau, which trailer was quite intriguing. In the end my hubby and I went with the latter, even though Rango won the weekend box office just as I predicted in Scarlet Sp1der’s poll last Tuesday. It seems that the viewing theme this weekend is men [...]

I’m playing catch-up with the latest trailers after weeks of not posting a single one. So here are a couple that piqued my interest (oddly enough, both names starts with the first letter of the alphabet): Animal Kingdom Parents better not be confusing this with a Disney flick or any other animated feature with cute, [...]

After watching the pointless and rather insipid Spread (ok so Ashton is hot, what else is new), I was ready for [...]
