Review: Coraline
Written and directed by Henry Selick and based on the novel by Neil Geiman, this stop-motion animated feature film tells the story of a young girl named Coraline who has just moved into a dreary apartment with her parents. Coraline doesn’t much care for her new home or her weird neighbours – but then she discovers a portal to a place which seems to be a magical, amazing version of her own world. In this ‘other world’ everyone and everything is better than it was in the real world. There’s only one disconcerting quality about this other world – everyone has buttons where their eyes should be. This is the experience of watching Coraline: it’s absolutely wonderful, but with a hint of menace. Read more [+]
Zombieland R18+ Trailer
Like every other young geek on the planet I love zombies and when I saw the instant classic 2004 horror comedy Shaun of the Dead I thought, the only way another zombie horror comedy could be even close to this glorious masterpiece is if it included Woody Harrelson killing zombies in hilarious ways.
Ok so I didn’t think that, but only because my brain has trouble imagining the awesomeness that Zombieland appears to be. You can check out the R18+ red band trailer below and the theatritical trailer at Apple trailers.
*The trailer will play after you enter your date of birth in the boxes. The order is month, day, year.

Ryan Reynolds is the Green Lantern
A while back I went all giddy over Australian artist Josh McMahon’s awesome art for his imaginary sequel to The Dark Knight, titled Gotham City. Well, he’s back yet again with a wicked photoshop of the now official confirmed Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern.
Also worth checking out is his earlier Green Lantern movie poster below.
Review: Acolytes
Acolytes is the tale of three teenagers who discover the buried body of a murdered girl in the woods and become involved in a dangerous game against a serial killer and a rapist. It’s also a cautionary tale of how a film can go astray when the filmmakers indulge in their own fancies rather than focus on serving the story. Read more [+]
The Last Airbender teaser
M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender (an adaption of the Emmy award winning Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender) has been on my radar for a while but with little reason to think it won’t just be Dragonball Evolution all over again. Well the teaser trailer is out and it actually looks pretty cool, sure it doesn’t show us much of what the movie will be and Shyamalan has a habbit of releasing great trailers for subpar films but it’s something and shows us that the star Noah Ringer has got some sweet moves. Now if only they could come up with a non-racist reason for the white-washed cast.

Review: Strait Jacket
At first the setting of Strait Jacket appears to be somewhere in the middle of the twentieth century. There are steam trains, industrial factories and lots of quaint architecture. But despite this homeliness, in the world of Strait Jacket magic is a common but vital technology that has been harnessed by humans and is used in everything from agriculture to medicine. It’s a potentially great concept and visually the world is well developed, seamlessly blending the technology and look of several decades from the twentieth century with the bulky metal of Japanese science fiction technology. But there’s a grave danger to using magic. It requires the use of a body shell called a ‘mold’ to prevent a magic user from mutating. If the mold fails, the sorcerer transforms into a monster called a demon. These demons are giant nightmarish creatures that kill everyone they encounter. On top of that, they aren’t harmed by conventional weaponry – but can only be killed by magic. Despite this risk, magic remains an important technology. In order to quickly destroy any demons who appear, there exists a combat squad of magic users known as Strait Jackets. Read more [+]
