By Simon Miraudo November 25, 2013 I never thought I’d say this about a high school massacre movie, but Kimberly Peirce‘s remake of Brian De Palma‘s Carrie has way too many survivors. (Warning: Incoming spoilers for arguably the most famous film climax ever; one that’s already been given away by decades of pop cultural spoofery, […]

The Mindy project – Kick-Ass 2 review
August 20, 2013 
0 Comments
By Simon Miraudo August 20, 2013 With its second instalment, the Kick-Ass saga has officially been stripped of its satirical bite. No biggie. So long as Chloë Grace Moretz‘s murderous Mindy Macready – aka Hit Girl – remains in the limelight, I’ll take little umbrage with the bastardisation of the comics upon which these movies […]

Jim Carrey has publicly distanced himself from his upcoming movie Kick-Ass 2, Tweeting his inability to “support that level of violence” following the shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school. “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence… my apologies to others involve with the film.

The original Kick-Ass was a clever, subversive riff on superhero stories, but the recently released trailer for the upcoming sequel seems to signal the series’ slide into generic action territory despite some offbeat touches. Director of the original film, Matthew Vaughn, moved on to rebooting the X-Men franchise, handing the Kick-Ass reigns to Jeff Wadlow, […]

The first teaser for Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake offers only a glimpse of the prom night from hell, ending in a blood-soaked Chloe Grace Moretz. The film is among a growing list of remakes fans didn’t ask for, but the Boys Don’t Cry director is betting all her chips on the casting of young Moretz, […]

We’ve got our first images from Kimberly Peirce‘s remake of Carrie, and they’re suitably blood-strewn. EW offer up a look at Chloë Grace Moretz as the eponymous teenager, moments after being shamed at the school prom (prepare for the telekinetic revenge, kids!). The image of Sissy Spacek similarly drenched in pig’s blood is the most iconic from […]

Hugo – Starring Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz and Ben Kingsley. Directed by Martin Scorsese. Rated PG. Originally published January 11, 2012. By Simon Miraudo. Hugo arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in Australia May 23, 2012. Martin Scorsese is arguably cinema’s biggest fanboy. The cliché is that he’s only concerned with telling tales of gangsters getting by in his native New York. However, he’s […]

What’s that now? The trailer for Tim Burton‘s adaptation of 70s soap opera Dark Shadows makes it look like a barrel of demented fun? We wouldn’t have believed it either, unless we’d seen it with our own eyes… We’ve been unimpressed by much of Burton’s cinematic output for much of the last decade, and were sceptical of his latest endeavour. […]

There’s a new image of Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton‘s Dark Shadows making the rounds online. And you need only cast your eyes downward slightly to glimpse it (courtesy of STYD)! Although we’ve reached a point in which we’re no longer excited for Burton’s cinematic output, the imagery released so far, and […]
