The original Wicker Man movie starring Edward Woodwood is a cult classic, so i was excited when i heard a remake was being made.
A Scanner Darkly is a movie based on a story by PK Dick who has a lot of stories already adapted for the screen and has influenced many others. In recent years you have Minority Report, before that you have Total Recall and Blade Runner. Just how good is A Scanner Darkly, does it stand up with the others?
Nacho Libre was a movie that the trailer doesn't really do justice too. It stars Jack Black as Ignacio a monk who dreams of being a wrestler.
You might have heard of this movie under a different name, Banlieue 13, maybe not but that should give you a clue its French its bold and its one of the best if not 'the' best, definitely the most exciting action movie of 2006.
Crank its a nice little title for a movie, and it describes it well, the movie starts off as it means to go on, actually it just goes on gaining momentum. The things to like about this movie are, the frenetic pace, the non typical direction, the rather original, very contemporary storyline and some seriously funny situations that the main character Chev Chelios gets into as a result of killing the wrong person in his hitman day job.
New bond Daniel Craig comes up with the goods in his first outing, teamed with the reprisal of Martin Cambell as the director and an old story, it works and gels together. The familiar pacing is present and the elements are all there, underlying structure is intact but the detail, grittiness of the cinematography and the unfolding of the story is what makes the movie work, along with solid performances from all the cast.
Ice Age 2 is just one of the many animated movies to surface this year, they often gross large amounts at the box office and have turned into very common fixtures in the cinema.
