Star Trek: Into Darkness - Official Announcement Trailer

     Judge me all you want, but you gotta' love Star Trek! I wouldn't consider myself as one of the die hard fans who run around in costumes all the time, wanting to make love to Patrick Stewart, but it's a pretty good show. In the trailer I got a glimpse of what I thought was Benedict Cumberbatch who was great in Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy and Stuart: A Life Backwards. So I IMDB'd the shit out of this as soon as I finished watching the trailer, and yeah, it's him!

     On a more obscure note, what is it with films nowadays including EXTREMELY bass heavy music in their soundtracks and musical scores? We got it in The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. It was in Inception and it was in Shutter Island aswell. AND it was in the World War Z trailer (posted below). Everyone has just jumped on this heavy bass soundtrack bandwagon, its probably to make things sound more "epic" and to "immerse" us in these big budget movies. But it just makes me need to take a shit if I'm being honest.

Drive

So after watching Drive for the 100th time today, I've realised it has become one of my favourite films. And no, it isn't because I've got a man crush on Ryan Gosling... Honest.

       How are men supposed to compete with this guy? Fuck you Ryan Gosling, you and your awesome driving gloves. 

    I didn't even realise this film existed until a few months back (probably because I was broke in 2011 when it was released so I couldn't afford to go to the cinema) But put my financial status to one side for a second and even just listening to the soundtrack you know it's gonna' be a good movie. Reminds me a lot of GTA: Vice City sometimes (Another 18+ rated game I played as a child, which if you haven't played, lets just say murdering members of the public for their money is encouraged.) There's also a fuck tonne of violence in Drive as well which caught me off guard a bit. So if you're a bit of a wuss when it comes to seeing a man literally getting his head crushed by Gosling's boot, you might want to give this one a miss and go watch Finding Nemo or something.

    No wonder this won Best Director at Cannes, (thanks, IMDB) the way it's put together keeps you wondering where the hell the film is going, and Gosling puts in the best acting performance I've seen by him as the nameless hero. So thanks, Drive, you've answered the question of what Blu-Ray movie I can buy my Dad for Christmas, and then steal back a week later and add to my film collection. 

 

You have to watch this film... NOW

Its Bane!!

Nice to see we've come a long way since this! The best thing about the latest Batman trilogy isn't the multi-million dollar budget or the all star cast and crew, its that we can't see Christian Bale's nipples through his batsuit.

                                     Come on guys, it's cold okay?

World War Z Official Movie Trailer

Not to sound like a know it all and say it won't be as good as the book. I'm not THAT guy, don't worry. But it does look like they've just used the name of the book and made a zombie film. But still, Brad Pitt leading in the movie of my favourite book?

Lawless

  If you like violence and moonshine liquor, why the fuck haven’t you seen this movie yet?

  I Was a bit sceptical with Shia LaBeouf being in the line up as he can be a bit hit and miss, but with Guy Pearce, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman backing him, he couldn’t really fuck it up too much. To be fair though, the result of these guys being put together makes for an absolutely crackin’ film. The violence is very well filmed, and Pearce’s comb over istop notch. With a pre-Bane Tom Hardy making a very convincing Forrest Bondurant, the cardigan had me questioning his masculinity a bit, but the fact he has knuckle dusters in his pocket, has his throat cut and actually survives and has a body the size of a small building makes up for his cardigan wearing ways. 

                                   I'm wearing a cardigan, and what? 

Lawless Trailer Official 2012 [1080 HD] - Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy

Just watched this...  Maybe got a bit too much enjoyment watching Shia LaBeouf get his face ruined by Guy Pearce, but that's just because I played too many violent video games as a child.
