Read MoreThe first official trailer for the anticipated new Green Lantern film has made its appearance! And it looks like the thoroughly enjoyable graphic novel thrill ride we were expecting. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the film tells the story of a young fighter pilot who is given the task of becoming the first ever human Green Lantern, a protector of the galaxy. He must deal with the immense power and responsibility bestowed upon him, balancing his relationship with childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) and the enemy threat of Parallax. The film looks like a blast, and we know Reynolds really studied up on the part, so we have high expectations come next June. The only thing we're unsure of, well, Serena van der Woodsen as a fighter pilot. The Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins and opens June 17, 2011.
The brand new trailer for director Simon West's remake of The Mechanic has made its explosive debut. The film, starring Jason Statham, is a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film of the same name and follows the story of an assassin avenging the death of his close friend and mentor (Donald Sutherland). Things get complicated when the son of his friend enters the fray. The characters in the Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) version bares the same names as the original, but the plot of the original has received a tweak (you'll have to watch the original). As a long time fan of Charles Bronson, it is good to see that the person filling one of the most badass shoes in film history is a serious badass himself. Few could ever take the mantle of Mr. Bronson, Jason Statham is one of them. The Mechanic co-stars Ben Foster and Donald Sutherland, and...

Read MoreFresh from the acclaim received in Chloe, rising starlet Amanda Seyfried features in Red Riding Hood; a horror remake of the classic fairy tale done with an added dose of werewolf. Yes, werewolves. As mainstream media continues their love affair with these shape-shifting beasts, leaving us all in an endless vortex of lycanthropy, what can we expect next, the boy who cried werewolf? Seyfried plays Valerie, a girl whose village is being terrorized by a werewolf. She seeks the help of a hunter to rid the village of the menace, but is the werewolf someone from the village? It doesn't look too bad, some great looking cinematography and, hate to say it but, well crafted mise-en-scène. Co-starring Gary Oldman and directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Red Riding Hood opens in cinemas March 11, 2011.

Read MoreOne of the most mildly disappointed memories of my punk rock teen years was getting Television City Dream and thinking, “man, this is a great, angry, punk rock album but why does it sound like shit?” Okay so, maybe I didn’t think it sounded like ‘shit’ but I do remember recognizing the difference in audio quality between Bark Like a Dog and Television City Dream. It wasn’t a crucial denouement, being a punk rock kid and all, because you know, back in the day, when you sounded crisp and clean you had sold out. Really. But don’t tell Ben Weasel that, because more than a decade after its original release, his vision for what the album should have sounded like has come to fruition. Remastered and resequenced to include additional bonus tracks of outtakes/b-sides (along with new artwork), the reissue of Television City Dream does the most important thing it aims...
