Shockwave, Darkside (film review).
I don’t often do film reviews, but I’ve got a new one posted over at http://sfcrowsnest.org.uk/shockwave-darkside-movie-review/ for science fiction war movie (and meditation on religion/humanity) Shockwave, Darkside. It’s in the same vein as Monsters from 2010 as far as being a small indie production, rather than a product of the Studio system (e.g. not soaked, or stewed in […]
Fight the dead, fear the living.
Walking Dead Season 3 is hitting the TV screen this October on both sides of the big pond. Here’s a little zombied-to-the-hilt trailer to get you going.
Halo: Forward Unto Dawn.
There’s a trailer for the new film for Halo: Forward Unto Dawn – looks a little like Halo meets Starship Troopers.
Who ‘Q’ – you?
James Bond has just hired a new quartermaster – yes ‘Q’ is back in the Skyfall movie! UK actor Ben Whishaw is the lord of the deadly gadget. We’ll also be seeing Ben in the movie version of science fiction novel (in parts), Cloud Atlas.

Sounds like an updating of the Eloi/Morlocks divide. In fact, […]
New Hobbit photos
There’s some great new pictures for The Hobbit movie from Peter Jackson hitting the streets now via Entertainment Weekly. Looking good, Peter, looking good. Still not sure about the choice to go for two movies, though.
Dredd your judgement.
Well, I promised you the full trailer for the new Judge Dredd movie, and I wouldn’t want to break my word – in the mega-cities, that crime no doubt carries the punishment of exile to the Cursed Earth. And I’m no stinking mutie, perp!
Judge Dredd teaser trailer.
The teaser trailer for everyone’s favourite MegaCity One lawman has arrived, creep, and drokk it if it doesn’t send you running to the sweet store in search of a little more Umpty eye candy. The super-sized real trailer is promised soon, and will arrive bouncing like one of the League of Fatties on a blubber […]
