Tell No One Film Review

admin — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:13:02 +0000

I had read a bit about Ne le dis à personne, aka Tell No One, before I had watched it, as I normally do, that made me go into the film with high expectations. A critical and box office hit in its native France, the highest praise came from Sir Michael Caine who said it was probably the best movie he had EVER seen, add that with the very high percentage it has on Rotten Tomatoes of 95% (As of time of writing this) and the fact most reviews I had read were very positive, you can understand why my expectations were high.

Normally when this happens I am left disappointed after watching it, and with Tell No One I was a little disappointed because as I said, I had read many VERY positive reviews and it certainly isn’t perfect, but I was half expecting that in truth, but I still enjoyed it a lot, but is it the best movie ever or even close to it? Nope. Is it a very solid film that keeps you guessing until the ending? Yep. (more…)

School Of Rock 2

admin — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:53:53 +0000

So following on my from previous post about future sequels it seems that a School Of Rock 2 script has been completed. Writer Mike White had this to say.

“I actually just completed a draft of what’s potentially the sequel, and I’m still, like, crying as I’m writing the script,” said White. “I try to come at it from a personal place.”

When asked for details, he replied: “I can’t tell you. I literally just turned it in. It’s a little too fresh off the boat for me to get into right now. And I don’t even know if it’s gonna be made.”

As I mentioned on the post I linked from above I wasn’t keen on this, but while I don’t think this film needs a sequel I reckon it might be okay if it gets made, have some funny parts and just be an ok film. I will go in with low expecations which will probably help, but as long as I get a few laughs here and there it probably won’t be overly bad.

10 Good Film Remakes

admin — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:04:09 +0000

Most remakes aren’t very good at all, I think that is fair to say, not to say that all remakes are bad, but when you consider the amount of bad ones that have been made and good ones that have been made then it’s fair to say that most aren’t very good. Nowadays Hollywood seems to be churning out remakes of either classic films or foreign films more than ever, and after reading today about another film I like that is being remade, it got me thinking, what are some remakes that I like? Not neccesarily ones that are BETTER than the original, but ones that are good (Or perhaps better), so I made a list of 10 remakes that I like, these are in no particular order. (more…)

Kevin Smith: Sold Out

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:33:49 +0000

Today I read some good news, there is going to be a new ‘Evening With’ Kevin Smith dvd released this October, to be titled Kevin Smith: Sold Out, if you aren’t familiar with those releases it’s basically Kevin Smith doing a question and answers session and are friggin hillarious, I mentioned it in my long Kevin Smith post I made before. As for the current news, this is taken from newsaskew.com:

This disc will chronicle the evening Kevin spent in Red Bank, New Jersey on his 37th birthday. We were there with full coverage of the event (though they are saving some of the spoilerish stuff for after the disc’s release). Kevin entertained the crowd for another marathon Q&A and a ton of new tales, including the incredible saga of Die Hard 4 that you just have to hear (worth the disc’s price alone).

New Lost Boys film

admin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:37:47 +0000

Now I am not a fan of most sequels as a lot seem to be made just for the hell of it rather than the film actually needing a sequel, and most suck, not all but most, but I was reading yesterday about the new Lost Boys film, a follow up to the 80’s classic and this is a film I think will do okay. I love the Lost Boys film and have seen it quite a few times, although not for a while (Which reminds me, must update my VHS copy to DVD), but I am eager to see this follow up, as I said I think it will be okay, but anyway below the fold is 3 pictures from the film featuring Corey (Frog) Feldman, Tad Hilgenbrink, Angus Sutherland and Autumn Reeser.

Another DVD buying spree

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:52:30 +0000

So today I went to Ebay to buy a mp3 player, just a cheap old one to use while jogging, and while I was there I decided to buy a DVD, but as usual I have more spare change then is needed so I ended up spending quite a bit on DVD’s, now most of these I have already seen and some I am upgrading from video, and only a few are new ones so most of them were quite well priced, but still I probably shouldn’t of spent as much as I did. Click below to read what I bought, not that you care, but still. (more…)

Who wants to see these sequels?

admin — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:29:28 +0000

Browsing around I came across news of 3 sequels that may or may not be getting made, a Donnie Darko sequel, a School Of Rock sequel, and another Beverly Hills Cop movie, does anyone want to see these films? They seem to just be more cash in on the previous movie(s) fame rather than a sequel that is needed. But with Hollywood remaking loads of stuff and churning out more and more sequels, just how stale are things? (more…)

Next Simon Pegg Project

admin — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:33:19 +0000

Simon Pegg gave some information on his next project while at the Cannes Film festival

Sometimes I get good feelings about films without knowing much about the film itself, and this is one of those times.Even tho it will be a different writing partner then from his previous hits, with Pegg at the helm I have a feeling that this is gonna be pretty darn funny.

“I just finished a script with my writing partner Nick Frost, and that is called Paul, and we’re going to shoot it later this year or early next year. It’s a road movie set in America about two British comic book geeks that get into an adventure across America.”
