By Simon Miraudo August 20, 2013 With its second instalment, the Kick-Ass saga has officially been stripped of its satirical bite. No biggie.

Chloe Moretz’s face is strewn with blood on the international teaser poster for the Carrie remake, which ominously insists “You Will Know Her Name.” Of course, you should already know her name. It’s Carrie. She comes from a pretty-famous Brian De Palma movie. Though we’d traditionally be hesitant to anticipate a remake of a horror classic, this new take is being […]

Hick – Starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Blake Lively, and Eddie Redmayne. Directed by Derick Martini. Rated MA. By Richard Haridy. Hick is a classic coming of age road movie where a young innocent girl is schooled in the dark and depraved ways of the world. Or, at least that’s what I assume Hick is about. […]

We’ve trained ourselves to not believe a word that comes out of Kick-Ass author Mark Millar’s mouth, so you can imagine our surprise when Deadline revealed a sequel to his 2010 superhero flick was indeed in the works. Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz are currently finalising deals with Universal Pictures to appear in the second instalment as […]

In another perfect casting announcement, Bloody Disgusting says Judy Greer has landed the role of our sympathetic gym teacher in Kimberly Peirce‘s upcoming Carrie remake. Judy Greer is one of those faces that you will recognise from so many great roles, but it was only last year with her part in The Descendants that she was finally widely […]

Dark Shadows – Starring Johnny Depp, Eva Green, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Directed by Tim Burton. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Dark Shadows is Tim Burton‘s best film in a decade. You’d have to go all the way back to Big Fish, or perhaps even 1999’s Sleepy Hollow to find anything comparable in quality. That might be […]

At the beginning of the year, we called Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of Brian Selznick’s book The Invention of Hugo Cabret the third most exciting film of 2011. After having the title shortened to just Hugo Cabret, the picture has once again been christened to the much sleeker and more character efficient Hugo. We imagine a […]

Let Me In – Starring Chloe Moretz, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Richard Jenkins. Directed by Matt Reeves. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Ask anyone their thoughts on a particular movie remake, and they’ll likely describe it as either ‘traitorously divergent’ or ‘faithful to a fault’. I can’t say I blame these random, unidentified people for their […]
