More Stupidity from the International Trailer for Dumb and Dumber To

Earlier this month, Universal Pictures released the first trailer for the brilliantly titled Dumb and Dumber To and already, the international trailer has arrived online. While the new promo starts off the same, the second half features new footage of the two idiots Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) as they search to find Harry's grown-up daughter, twenty years after the events of the first film.

Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways To Die In The West - 1st Trailer (Red-Band)

The first trailer for Seth MacFarlane's new live action comedy has just hit the internet only hours after the character posters debuted online. Our first glimpse of A Million Ways To Die In The West pushes the red-band warning to the max with sex, swearing and as the film's name would imply, a whole lot of dying. I'm not exaggerating here; MacFarlane's take on the Wild West seems to feature more deaths than 6 Feet Under, but don't worry Ted fans. In the trailer at least, the gore is balanced out with a constant string of gags to keep audiences laughing.

I Love The 90s: Robin Williams


Last weekend, I went round my sister's house and found my niece was watching Jumanji. A wave of nostalgia swept over me, and I was transported back to my youth. Robin Williams helped to define my childhood growing up the 90s. Yes, I know he may have been around since the 70s, and is still making films to this day, but despite those films being terrible, Robin Williams used to be a Cinema God! Coming out with classic after classic, year after year, he was hands down the biggest star of the decade. Join me as I take a trip down memory lane to revisit some of my favourite films of his.

Disney's Frozen Review (2013) Has Disney Finally Reclaimed Its Crown?


Home On The Range, Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire... all is finally forgiven Disney.

Since the 1940s, the world's most iconic animation studio has tried it darndest to adapt Hans Christian Andersen's classic fable The Snow Queen, but not even the great Walt Disney could get it right. Finally, in 2013, the Magical Kingdom has nailed it with their 53rd animated classic Frozen, which had the largest ever opening weekend for a Disney animation in the studio's history.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa - The Review


With Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, director Jeff Tremaine continued his winning streak, helming his fourth consecutive Jackass film to #1 in the US with help from fellow screenwriters Knoxville and Spike Jonze, the co-creators of the Jackass show. Success is one thing, but have the boys still got it or is Bad Grandpa as dated as its octogenarian star?

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 Review - "There's A Leek In The Boat!"


Never have I ever been so hungry watching a film.

Chance Of Meatballs 2 (CWACOM2... just rolls off the tongue) is executive produced by the original film makers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have since moved on to the 21 Jump Street franchise. In their stead, we have Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, the promising directors behind...Open Season 3. Don't worry though Cloudy fans; director Cody Cameron is the voice behind Pinocchio and the three little pigs in the original Shrek... and they were funny right? With such a strong creative team, surely CWACOM2 will best the inevitable decline in quality that most sequels fall prey to, right?

Where Are They Now? The Girls of Drop Dead Gorgeous.

                             

The other day I was looking through my DVD collection when I came across Drop Dead Gorgeous. The late 90's black comedy may have received mixed reviews at the time but over the years, Drop Dead Gorgeous has developed somewhat of a cult following, and it's easy to see why. This underrated mockumentary boast an amazing cast of talented women who have gone on to do some great and some not so great work. So let's take a look at the girls of Drop Dead Gorgeous and see where they are now but before we do, let's take a walk down memory lane and have a gander at the trailer.

Someone Give Anna Faris A Decent Part Already!


Want to make a crap film better? Just call Anna Faris. For years now, the gifted actress has toiled away in a number of awful comedies, despite her beautiful looks and amazing comic timing. The comedian has even proved her acting chops in more serious fare such as 'Lost In Translation' and 'Brokeback Mountain' but Faris is yet to receive the standout role of her career. In the meantime though, I've loved watching Faris somehow elevate awful material into something that is at least watchable and is even occasionally brilliant. Someone give her a decent part already! 

To celebrate the talent of Anna Faris, I've decided to share her five standout roles with you now, so join me to relive the highlights of a career which is constantly held back by weak scripts and horrendous directing.
