Boardwalk Empire Preview

by Stephen O'Shea

As I take my seat for the screening of HBOâs brand new television series,Â Boardwalk EmpireÂ I am filled with a sense of anticipation. I'm rifling through the free goody bag when I notice all the crew decked out in 1920s gear and the bag itself is full of paraphernalia from the period. This and the premiere itself, all designed to help publicize the launch of the new channel from Sky, Sky Atlantic. The programme itself is clearly in the vein of other HBO shows such asÂ Mad Me...

Trailer Roundup - SUCKER PUNCH, Battle: Los Angeles, Rare Exports, and more...

by Stephen O'Shea

First on the new trailer front we have Rare Exports. Swedish, brooding and snowy. It has to be another dark vampire film in the vein of Let The Right One In, right? Wrong! This is a film that takes a slightly different angle on Father Christmas and believe me when I say that you donât want to be on this oneâs naughty list. On the lighter side of Christmas the latest Meet The Little Fockers trailer has just been released. The third instalment of this now multi-billion d... (continued) [read more]

Movie News: Unknown, Bond, Tron and....Bieber!?

by Stephen O'Shea

Movie News Roundup A couple new trailers this week to talk about. First of all there is Never Say Never, which is not the unofficial Bond film starring Sean Connery but is in fact the biographical film about, and starring, Justin Bieber. It seems simply ludicrous that a young adult of seventeen already has a film about his life but check out the trailer below if you donât believe me. A few weeks after scaring itâs way to the top of the US box office Paranormal Acti... (continued) [read more]

by Stephen O'Shea

For the first week there might simply be too much going on in the world of film for Film Talk to cover. However I will try. First and foremost some brand new trailers have leaked onto the Internet since a fortnight ago but only a few worthy of mention. In 2007 Oren Peli released a film which he had made for a few thousand dollars in his own house with a hand held camera and only two central actors. The film was Paranormal Activity and after being called the âscariest film eve... (continued) [read more]

Movie News: The Fighter, The Social Network, Due Date...

by Stephen O'Shea

Movie News Thereâs been an absolute wave of trailers to wet your film going appetite out since we last spoke two weeks ago. First of all I have to begin with the cream of the crop and that is The Fighter, not to be confused with the embarrassment to film that was Channing Tatumâs Fighting. The Fighter stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian âBatmanâ Bale currently taking a break from saving Gotham to become a fight promoter. The story revolves around the life of Micky âIris...

Movie News: Black Swan/The Romantics/Avatar/Resident Evil

by Stephen O'Shea

Movie News Top of the movie news column this week has to be the return of Avatar to our cinema screens. Apparently grossing the most amount of money ever in the history of cinema (over $2,000,000) was not enough for James Cameron and the team behind the blue people from Pandora. The film returns to the IMAX on the 23rd September, and if you happen to be one of the few people in the world who has not seen this film yet then make sure that a trip to see Avatar in 3D (with 9 m...
