Perhaps the most awesome news I have read this week, celebrity Ron Perlman, with his busy schedule in mind, decided to fulfish the wish of a boy who wanted to meet Ron... by wearing the whole make-up outfit and wearing Hellboy look. The company that perform the make up also turned the boy in Hellboy also!

Review

5 years since the last Spider-Man film, Spider-Man 3, we see the Marc Webb reboot of the greatly enjoyed Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. So the big question: how does it differ from still such a reasonably fresh franchise (the first Spider-Man only releasing in 2002 (just 10 years ago) and remains at the forefront of thoughts of the majority. It will however be easier to appreciate The Amazing Spider-Man considering how poorly received Spider-Man 3 was.

New Trailer: "Dredd" (2012)

Hello film fan!

Judge Dredd of 2000 AD comics is getting a second opportunity in film, so here's the trailer, and link!

My thoughts...

Most of us would only have heard about Dredd through the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd film of the 90s, and I don't know of anyone who enjoys it today. This version appears to be vastly different however, and it's a welcome attempt as I like the idea of the comics, of the law being handled on the spot by one person - one judge, one jury, and one executioner.

Dredd comes off visually and in style as something which can't be compared. I think Karl Urban is a fantastic modern day actor, and I greatly appreciate Lena Hedley, so I'm optimistic that it's a class above the Stallone version - which I presume many who are crying out with a lack of welcoming appreciation are choosing to do so for this reason. People, please know: Dredd isn't a reboot of the previous Judge Dredd film, but rather a second attempt at a comic-to-film of 2000 AD.

Review

Tim Burton, a great in the halls of fantastically artistic directors, who has made films I so much have loved, such as Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Planet of the Apes (2001), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and more, has come back. And this time he brings back frequent acting choice of his films, Johnny Depp (8 films in total, now), appreciated by many (including myself) for his quality talents lent to many a film that I don't think I need to name.
