Out this week: Cinema
Jackass 3D
So the fun continues in what really 3D has been waiting for, or you could argue what Jackass was waiting for. I'd expect more of the same gross out and extreme stunts that bring more vomit than they do laughs and a multitude of bodily fluids sprayed at you every which way! Worth a look if you have the right sense of humour if your not sure, avoid like the plague.
Let Me in
I'm not one to judge as i haven't even seen the original of this interesting Vampire flick. It wouldn't have been easy to follow such a well loved horror movie especially seem as it only came out last year! Seems a bit excessive but this version has been received quite well so far. The Children playing the leads are some of the best working in the business, Chloe Mortez was fantastic as Hit Girl with or without the c word! Kodi Smit-McPhee was outstanding with an incredibly moving performance in The Road, i say give it a go but see the first one, well first.
Due Date
The man who brought you The Hangover, has now brought you what is basically an updated version of planes trains and automobiles. With Zach Galifianakis in the John Candy role which should work well with his zany approach and Robert Downey Jnr playing the slightly unhinged everyman, which is pretty much what he is in everything!No complaints from me though as the Hangover was brilliant and the trailer looks great, I say catch this one while you can.
Up and Coming Movies...
The Tourist
What they say..
Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in The Tourist. During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Angelina Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, and written by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes, The Tourist is a GK Films presentation in association with Spyglass. The film is produced by Graham King, Tim Headington, Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber and Jonathan Glickman. Studio Canal is also a partner on the production.
What i say..
It's nice to still see the studios bringing out movies that are relying on its stars rather than a gimmick *cough*3D*cough* or it being some kind of franchise/reboot etc etc.. The trailer has some smart dialogue to go with the steaming lead couple, so should be a stand out European thriller, who knows?
The Tourist is released in cinemas on 10th December 2010

Up and coming movies...
What they say
In a contemporary re-imagining of the classic tale, Jack Black stars as Gulliver, a big-talking mailroom clerk who, after he’s mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people. At first enslaved by the diminutive and industrious Liliputians and later declared their hero, Gulliver comes to learn that it’s how big you are on the inside that counts.
Cast: Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Jason Segal, Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet, Catherine Tate, James Corden & Olly Alexander
What i say
Hmm, looks interesting, the biggest problem with this is that it just looks rather silly but then again there is nothing wrong with a bit of silly fun. Of course it is Jack Black and he's one of the best at silly. The supporting cast is made up of some fantastic brittish comedy talent and should help drag this film out of being, well basically not very good.
Gulliver’s Travels is released in cinemas on Boxing Day - 26th December 2010 and you can click here to see the trailer.
Up and Comning DVD / Blu Rays...
Twilight Saga Eclipse
What they say..
With a box office of over £29.5 million it is the biggest single format release of 2010 so far and has exceeded both its predecessors in the series. Now The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on December 6th 2010.
The third film in the Twilight saga based on Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster book series, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is packed with passion, action and suspense as Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
What i say..
In the run up to Christmas a DVD or indeed a Blu-Ray is always a welcome surprise under the Christmas Tree. This Special Edition DVD is a must have for any Twi-hard fan! I'm not the best person to talk about this franchise as i thought the first one was well, lets just say not very good. However i haven't seen subsequent releases and if its like the Harry Potter franchise maybe they get better with age? Sadly i presume the vampires are still twinkling like diamonds ion the sunlight? I just cant take that seriously!

The latest London MCM Expo was sponsored by Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and the game’s developers, Raphael Dominguez (Ubisoft Annecy) and Mathieu Gagnon (Ubisoft Montreal), hosted exclusive Q&A sessions for fans of the upcoming game on both days of the show.
Meanwhile, Capcom gave MCM Expo visitors their first hands-on of much-anticipated beat ‘em up Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and Tecmo Koei showed a world exclusive trailer for Dynasty Warriors 7, which they also announced was going to be released for Xbox 360 as well as PS3.
Other titles on display included GoldenEye 007 and Kirby’s Epic Yarn from Nintendo; Dead Space 2 and Medal of Honor from EA Games; Enslaved and Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom from Namco Bandai; Super Scribblenauts and Batman: The Brave & Bold from Warner Bros.
