Hancock [Review]

ijgqjx3evtztv27wgyau.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448157/
Release Date: 2nd July 2008 (USA) (UK)
Tagline: There are heroes. There are superheroes. And then there’s…
Summery: A hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who’s trying to repair his image.

Review
Its been a few days since I posted about the release of Hancock in Cinemas (here) that I have now had the chance to finally go see the film for myself and I have to say it was not exactly what I was expecting. Havinh seen the trailer I expected it to basically be about Hancock’s failure as a superhero and public figure of authority, then change into a good superhero who is finally respected by the public. However the story goes my further than that…. Read more

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [Preview]

swh4n3z3oe951y2gzck.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0859163/
Release Date: 1st August 2008 (USA) / 8th August 2008 (UK)
Tagline: A New Evil Awakens.
Summery: In the Far East, trouble-seeking father-and-son duo Rick and Alex O’Connell unearth the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin — a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by a wizard centuries ago.

Upcoming:
If this one is a suprise to me then its definatly a suprise to you as well, unless you have way too much free time on your hands! This sequel, shot 7 years after the last Mummy film (The Mummy Returns) looks like quite an impressive film. Yet its revival does come with some alterations. For a start O’Connell’s (Fraser) wife, who was orginally played by Rachel Weisz is now being performed by Maria Bello. And in what looks to be an interesting plot Jet Li plays a main role as the ‘the bad guy’ or ‘The Dragon Emperor.’ As with all these upcoming films only time will tell. Read on to view trailers.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [Preview]

br6kf6zte3ezxwmw5w7.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/
Release Date: 21st November (USA) / (UK)
Tagline: “I Am Safe With You Harry”
Summery: As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously “This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince” and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort’s dark past.

Upcoming:
How can any fan of the books resist this one! And yet even if you haven’t read the book then there is little chance that you have not seen the films. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is going to be the 6th film in the Hary Potter series, leaving just one remaining. I will not go into detail on this one because I don’t want to give anything away, but if the book is anything to go by this could be one of the best films of the year! Read on to view trailers.

Batman: Gotham Knight [DVD Release and Review]

ihnbd03jsz4pkct3hu8s.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117563/
Release Date: 8th July 2008 (USA)
Tagline: Get Ready….To Rage Against Evil
Summery: Anime-inspired direct-to-DVD anthology film. Comprised of six short stories, from diverse creators, including Academy Award-nominated Josh Olsen (A History of Violence), Batman Begins writer David S. Goyer, and comics scribe Brian Azzarello. It’s planned for a release window of two to four weeks prior to the release of The Dark Knight, and would bridge the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

On DVD and Bluray Now:
After making The Dark Knight my first post on Rubixtreme I think its best that I say a little something about this quite interesting release. I have to say that I’ve not always been a fan of this style of anime or anime itself for that matter but this series holds something different. Much like The Animatrix, which was released inbetween the gap between The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded this DVD is comprised of a number of stories that will help put The Dark Knight in slightly more context. I actually believe it does it really well, starting off and ending with stories that show a real human side to batman. And of course watching this take place within such beautiful animation is another pleasure that collectors will probably treasure. I’d say that if you enjoy the Batman series, buy this. If your not particulary interested or are not looking forward to the release of The Dark Knight then this might not be for you.Read on to view trailers.

The New Top Gear Crisis

3vjfazjdyquvhvg0qzsa.jpgThis week has seen shocking news come to light over the possible future of much-loved British car show Top Gear. Two of shows presenters, namly Hammond and May have till the end of this month to renew their contracts, which means agreeing to all terms. However a sort of deadlock has been reached as they have refused to sign unless they recieve the same amount of pay as Clarkson.

New news came to light today which suggested a new deal had been offered but the pair where still not happy. Clarkson has stated himself that he doesn’t belive they will leave: “They won’t leave. It’s the best job in the world. I’d pay to do it.” (The Sun) and I hope not either…it wouldn’t be Top Gear without them!

Iron Man [Cinema Release and Review]

npelqda5i8uoyarp5o1.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/
Release Date: 2nd May 2008 (USA) / (UK)
Tagline: Fully Charged.
Summery: When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark is forced to build an armored suit after a life-threatening incident, he ultimately decides to use its technology to fight against evil.

In Cinemas Now:
Having just posted The Incredable Hulk I decided I would review the other Marvel comic that was recently turned into a film for the big screen. Iron Man tells the story of Tony Stark, played by Academy Award Winner Robert Downey Jr, from his origins as a self proclaimed millionair to the mechanic superhero Iron Man. By far the most interesting aspect of the film is that Stark actualy has no super powers, in essence he builds his powers using the suit. As with all Marvel films theres the cameo apperance from Stan Lee…but I won’t tell you where, and I think there is a really good blend of comedy and action. In comparison the The Incredable Hulk I’d day this is the better Marvel film to see this summer, overall its just a better film. Read on to view trailers.

The Bank Job [DVD Release and Review]

jxk4uxz7dacafxu0z9.jpgIMDb URL: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200465/
Release Date: 7th March 2008 (USA) / 28th February 2008 (UK)
Tagline: The true story of a heist gone wrong… in all the right ways.
Summery: Martine offers Terry a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London’s Baker Street. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don’t realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal.

On DVD and Bluray Now:
For a film with such an ordinary title comes an extraordinary story! Ever since seeing this on the big screen I have been waiting for the DVD release of this film. Of course for you HD junkies out there, with your massive plasma/lcd tv’s this is a nice one to have in Bluray format as well. The Bank Job stars Jason Statham in his ‘typical’ role (i.e. the honest crook) and centers around a scandelous story involving Princess Margaret and its cover-up. The film did take a while to get going but once in the thick of it, it takes you to extreme highs and sad lows, something which is rarley done in these type of films. However by far one of the stongest elements of this film is that it is based on a true story, which at the end of the film leaves the audience in a state of wonder. Overall this has been one of my favorite films of 2008 and I think most people will agree, but only the comments will tell. Read on to view trailers.
