I was just watching the Edison trailer again… you know… the one with non-actor Justin Timberlake. Anyway, the film does have a terrific cast (Timberlake aside), but something really jumped out at me… Timberlake is probably on the screen more in the trailer than any of the other actors (not … [Read More]
We’ve talked about the possibility of Daniel Radcliffe leaving the Harry Potter series before, after all he’s not signed up for all the movies yet. However he’s just admitted that he’s having too much fun to leave. IMDB have him as saying he will be in all seven films. Well, … [Read More]
I’m not a huge fan of Adam Sandler, but casting in a new 9/11 Drama provisionally called Reign O’er Me seems quite, quite unusual. It’s not official yet, but the rumours are there, as well as Don Cheadle. According to Digital Spy the story is about the Sandler character who … [Read More]
The new Benchwarmers trailer has hit the net recently… and it’s every bit as sad as I thought it would be. I used to be a BIG David Spade fan, but he’s become just painful to watch ever since Joe Dirt. Don’t even get me started on Rob Schneider, and … [Read More]
I am starting to appreciate Pierce Brosnan more… if for no other reason than he gives some great quotes these days and isn’t afraid to voice his very blunt opinions. I had mixed feelings about him being dropped as James Bond, but I’m generally happy with the direction they’ve chosen … [Read More]

Title=The Constant Gardener
Score=6
Summary=Strong story with a great ending and a huge agenda. Unfortunately there’s style overload and both the agenda and the moral ending could have been toned down slightly to make for a much better movie. It also seriously needs an injection of pace to retain the audience attention. Weisz is superb in this, with Huston firing in another superb performance as a close second. A beautiful view of Africa in some of the scenes.
Recently a deal was made between Sony and NBC to get adverts for Memoirs of a Geisha written into the storyline of the TV series Medium. Is this a new trend? Are we going to see movies advertising in TV shows and vice versa? Looks just like the case. According … [Read More]

I couldn’t believe it when Keanu Reeves was announced as Sinbad in the remake by Rob Cohen, it all said bad acting and huge explosions to me, but then Cohen produces fun movies so maybe it would have turned out okay. Doesn’t matter now, it seems that Sony have dropped … [Read More]
I never cared much for Robert De Niro in comedy, I don’t know what it was but he just didn’t fit well for me. Then there’s the whole “is De Niro overrated” bit, and I’m not sure about that, sometimes he most definitely is and sometimes I’m on the fence. … [Read More]
