7-MINUTES OF DJANGO UNCHAINED

Watch 7-minutes of Scenes and Interviews from Django Unchained! When Tarantino gets his hands on a genre, you can bet he’s going to do something that honours it while turning it on its ear. By the looks of Django Unchained, his streak is alive and well. This time, he’s taken the classic Spaghetti Western genre from the 60′s, and with a cast like Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s a pretty safe bet that, off the chain, Django will be off the hook.

Watch 8-minutes of the musical event of the year with advanced footage from the film and cast & crew interviews. Will the Oscar-winning director of the King’s Speech bring us a ground-breaking filmed version of the mega-hit musical? Or will the experimental recording method ruin what hardcore musical geeks have been falling in love with since the 80′s? Musical geeks are split on what we might be in for… so take a look and let us know what YOU think!

CLOUD ATLAS REVIEW: And You Thought They Couldn’t Do Worse Than Speed Racer.

Dear god.

Just when you thought the Wachowski’s hit rock bottom with Speed Racer,the worst cartoon racing movie of all time, they manage to make Cloud Atlas, the worst Sci-Fi Film, the worst Pirate Movie, the worst Zany Geriatric Escape-Comedy, the worst Victorian Romance, the worst 70′s Blaxploitation flick, AND the worst Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy film ALL AT ONCE, smashing them into the most excruciatingly unbearable 3-hour marathon of audience abuse ever made.

But what did you think? Our review is on the way… which we weren’t going to bother with until it stole 3 hours of our lives away and we felt the deep responsibility to prevent it from happening to you, too.

PIRATES 4 REVIEW: Yes, But Are They BETTER Tides?

No Orlando and no Kiera? But we get McShane and Cruz instead? Sounds like a good recipe, but going back to the well after the trilogy has been told is risky. We’re hearing any subsequent Pirates films will be strictly one-offs, so let’s talk about how they set the precedent with “On Stranger Tides”!

THE SOCIAL NETWORK: It’s 6 Years of Coding… but Exciting!

Adapted from a book that’s loosely based on Facebook’s amazing rise to ubiquity, The Social Network has a lot more going for it as a film than it does as a history lesson. But Matt & Nat both agree that this is a must-see film, even if it doesn’t quite fill the big-screen at the multiplex. So if you don’t have the time or cash to catch it in the theatre, you can forgive yourself for watching it on your TV, iPad or PSP.

12 Geeks out of 15.

The difference between a successful yet soulless blockbuster and a well-crafted film that’s marketed blockbuster is sometimes ignored by movie studios with dollar-signs in their eyes. But in the case of Prince of Persia, Disney and Bruckheimer actually created a piece of entertainment with some heart, a strong story and some great characters to go along with a heaping serving of action-packed video game inspired eye-candy!

ROBIN HOOD REVIEW: Hold on… That Wasn’t Robin Hood!

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe make a great team. Just look at Gladiator. Really. We mean it, skip Robin Hood and just go watch Gladiator. This movie is so BARELY a story of Robin Hood, it hardly deserves the name, and winds up being little more than a re-tread of Scott’s previous epic work. Everyone phoned it in on this one, folks; don’t waste your time.
