Any regular readers of Snarkerati will know that I, along with the vast majority of movie reviewers, didn’t like Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. And anyone with even half a brain will understand why - the total lack of a storyline, the overuse of CGI and special effects, the overlong running time, and the long, […]

The Twilight saga of novels, now being turned into a saga of movies at the rate of one a year, are set in the real-world tow of Forks, Washington. Unsurprisingly, given the popularity of the novels and movies, Forks is taking advantage of being chosen as the setting for Stephanie Meyer’s vampire stories.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote should really have been made in 2000. Work on it was well underway until a spate of accidents and mishaps forced director Terry Gilliam to abandon it. But that wasn’t the end of the project, and Gilliam made known his intention to start work on the film once more […]

What is it with all the celebrity deaths at the moment? First it was Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson, then Billy Mays, and then Jeff Goldblum popped his clogs. Oh wait a minute, no he didn’t, that was just an unfunny Internet prank. However, another Hollywood legend has sadly passed away.
Karl Malden died peacefully of […]

The Game, surely practicing his BA “Bad Attitude” Baracus look.
ComingSoon relays a report from BlackFilm that the Game is the frontrunner for the role of BA Baracus in “The A Team” movie. Baracus is the role on the ’80s TV series that made Mr. T a household name. Yes, his character had a name; Mr. T did not […]

I really like Johnny Depp. As an actor, and as a person, he seems like a gem hidden in amongst the often-obnoxious world of Hollywood and celebrity culture. Do I love him? No, but he would perhaps be the one man able to tempt me into experimenting. I kid, I kid. Maybe.
Why am I talking […]

The Goonies remains, for me, one of the best movies ever made. I know it’s no Godfather or Gone With The Wind, but for my generation (30-somethings) it was THE film of our childhood. But that was 25 years ago, too long to even consider making a sequel set in the present day?
It would seem […]

Star Trek 2, or Star Trek XII for the purists among you. It’s definitely happening, and it now seems as though J.J. Abrams is definitely on board for the follow-up to this year’s mega-hit. The writers of Star Trek, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, recently revealed Abrams wasn’t sure of his involvement, but it looks […]

If you go to see a Michael Bay movie then you are guaranteed certain things: explosions galore, witty dialog (or at least dialog that’s intended to be witty), and hot actresses looking, well, hot. Things you may struggle to find are a decent storyline or any hint of pacing.
Transformers is really no exception, apart from […]

Inglourious Basterds is still two months away from release, but there is already talk of an Inglourious Basterds 2. Rather than a sequel, it could be a prequel. The first film was received well at the Cannes Film Festival and looks like being another success for director Quentin Tarantino.
Total Film recently spoke to producer Harvey […]
