• Trailer Watch – Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

    Tom Cruise returns for a fifth outing as IMF super spy Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. As first trailers go, this one is pretty excellent. Broken down into almost three miniature trailers each of around a minute in length, the first introduces a new member of the...
  • Trailer Watch – Maggie

    Maggie looks a bit odd, and this trailer doesn’t really give us a lot to go on. Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking aged, and suited to play a tired father in a departure from his typically action-heavy roles in this post-apocalyptic horror drama. In Maggie, there appears to be some form of...

    Like it or not, Taken was a hit. To date, it’s grossed over $220 million. So, Pierre Morel may now be trying to recreate that success in his new action flick, The Gunman. Sean Penn is the latest actor to imitate Liam Neeson, offering his take on the tough as...
