Movie News: Skyfall Trailer!


I've been waiting for the full trailer of the new 007 film for a while now and it's finally arrived! Sam Mendes was an interesting choice for director, but judging by this two and half minute taster, he's done and incredible job.  Everything you'd expect from a Bond movie and more. 

In recent years, one of the only things that has really let these films down is a dodgy villain. The best 007 movies have the greatest villains; Goldfinger, Dr No, View To A Kill and any of the films starring a cat stroking Blofeld! Getting Javier Bardem on board to play the villain in Skyfall was a stroke of genius, as anyone who's seen No Country For Old Men will attest to. I'm not sure about the blond hair though, he reminds me of Christopher Walken as Zorin in A View To A Kill...not that that's a bad thing!

Anyway, take a look at the trailer below and let me know what you think by commenting below.

Movie News: MAN OF STEEL TEASER TRAILER!


From the moment I heard Zack Snyder was directing the new Superman film and Christopher Nolan was producing I knew it was going to be something very special. Man of Steel isn't being released for another year and there has hardly been any information leaked about the plot, the villain or the look of the film. Even at ComicCon last week, neither Zack Snyder or Henry Cavill (Superman) would confirm whether the villain would be General Zod, although the chances are it probably will be.

Anyway, we now have out first look at this movie as Warner Bros have released not one, but two teaser trailers. They're both exactly the same, apart from one is voiced by Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent) and the other by Russell Crowe (Jor-El). As they both play the Father role to Superman it's a nice touch and they both have different words of wisdom to impart.

My favourite is the Russell Crowe version, so that's the one you can watch below.  If this trailer is anything to go by,  Man of Steel is going to be really good, if not incredible. With the Batman trilogy at an end, I'd love to see a new Superman trilogy emerge. We'll find out just how good it is on June 14th 2013.






Here's the Costner version if you'd like to watch that too!
