The Dossing Times

Vampires are everywhere at the moment – TV (as discussed below in my review of ‘True Blood’ below), written fiction (in Guillermo del Toros ‘The Strain’) and don’t doubt that the Twilight sequel will be the biggest movie of the year despite only being released in November. A far less well manicured movie, but one [...]

Find below the trailer for ‘Zombieland’, which presents itself as a pumped-up ‘Shaun of the Dead’, though seems to aim more for a B-movie vibe, with an upped quota of comedic action and its own distinct brand of quirkiness. Released on the 9 October this is the type of movie that will fall into a [...]

Christoper Nolan’s output as a director runs to only 9 movies on IMDB, but with movies like ‘Memento’, ‘Insomnia’ and of course the recent Batman movies, he has veered close to quality over quantity.

Well here’s a case of a misleading title – I’m a big fan of time travel concepts, and Eric Bana having already been a party to a time travel tale in this summers ‘Star Trek’ can usually do no wrong in my book. This trailer on the other hand looks awful and then some.

Could this be the sleeper hit of the year. A movie no one has heard about, based on a short, brought to us by a novice director, yet Peter Jackson has chosen to throw his might behind the project. Using a naturalistic documentary style, the trailer is initially elusive, before a distinctly other wordly object [...]

An intriguing trailer this, the new Scorscese. Starring Leo and the ever underrated Mark Ruffalo, it goes heavy on atmosphere, suggests some supernatural element and could be brilliant.
