Film news and tidbits.

Some of you may know that I am genuinely excited about the new Danny McBride / James Franco fantasy comedy Your Highness.

Well, we are only a month away and the character one sheets have been released.

Here is my favourite but the James Franco and Natalie Portman ones are cool too.

Obsequiousmelon got in a lift with the Devil.

Name of the Film:  Devil

Starring:  Chris Messina, Caroline Dhavernas and Bokeem Woodbine.   

When a group of people are trapped in a lift it soon becomes clear that there is something sinister at work...

Devil is the first film made by M Night Shyamalan’s production company The Night Chronicles, although I’m not sure that that would encourage many people to go and see it.

M Night Shyamalan clearly has some ability as a story teller but I can’t help but feel that his ego and initial success has long since damaged any initial promise he had.  Its a shame because I like the kind of movies he makes, the ideas are cool but the execution just seems too... pretentious.

So I like his stories but I don’t like his films.  Well then setting up a production company and letting young directors script and direct films based on his short stories seems at first glance like a good idea.

Obsequiousmelon entered into combat with Predators.

Name of the Film:  Predators 

Starring:  Adrien Brody, Lawrence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga.   

I first saw Predators at the cinema when it first came out.  Unfortunately I had been awake for a few days and was exhausted.  The dark cinema and the comfortable chairs meant that I fell asleep for about ten minutes.  So my opinion was not good but I was painfully aware that any view I had on the film was invalid because I probably missed something totally ninja right?

Well I like Robert Rodriguez films and I like both original Predator films (yes I accept that 2 isn’t in the same class as the first one but still I enjoy it) so I want Predators to be 54 flavours of awesome.

So I sat down to watch the dvd both nervous and excited.

Films I want to see now - Super

This one could go either way if I'm honest.  The trailer looks fun though.

I present to you... Super.  Directed by James Gunn who is responsible for Slither, a good movie with a bit of a non event ending.  Still this has Kevin Bacon in it and that means I am already going to see it!  Enjoy...

Does anyone care about Star Wars anymore?  Well if George Lucas becoming a money grabbing hack hasn’t totally irritated you by now then you can get excited about the 3D release date for The Phantom Menace - February 10 2012.  Yay... I guess!

How cool is this photo of the Red Skull from Captain America.

Thats Hugo Weaving under all that make up.  I'm so excited about this film.

Cool posters for iffy films.

The new Conan the barbarian film has a cool new poster.
I'm not sure about this film, I'll give it a chance but their isn't a big name attached to it and that makes me slightly nervous.
Still this poster is cool!
