14 Burke and Hare Trailer: Simon Pegg Schemes, Isla Fisher Flirts
Bust out your stovepipe hat, because we're about to journey back to the time of Abraham Lincoln. Robert Redford's The Conspirator centers around the trials following the assassination of our 16th president, and in particular, the lone woman charged with taking part in his murder: Mary Surratt. Robin Wright plays the accused, while James McAvoy steps into the role of her lawyer. But perhaps Read more
Fart jokes, coy sexual innuendo, slapstick — it's just another day in the 1800s! In Burke and Hare, Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis star as real-life murderers Burke and Hare who collected bodies to sell to science. It sounds like a gruesome period tale (and it actually exists in the history books!), but leave it to the two British goofballs to put their off-the-wall comedic spin on the story. Read more
Sam Worthington's name is synonymous with Avatar, and after having recently done another action flick (Clash of the Titans), he hasn't really proved himself as a dramatic actor. That could all change with his film The Debt, a thriller half set in present day and half in flashback. Worthington plays David, one of three Israeli Mossad agents in the flashback period who have been sent to hunt a Nazi Read more
Isla Fisher better get working on her horror scream. The actress has signed on for Burke and Hare, based on the true story of two of Edinburgh's earliest serial killers/gravediggers who sold victims' bodies to a medical school (for a nice profit, naturally). Oh, and did I mention it's a comedy? Simon Pegg is playing Burke to Andy Serkis's Hare, and Tom Wilkinson has also recently joined as a Read more
It's hard to go wrong with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in a movie together. The two starred in Closer as a couple in a toxic marriage. This time around they play two corporate spies who are intoxicated with each other. The sexy part comes from the way they look (Owen is tan, Roberts is back with that big ol' movie star smile) and the fact that the characters' day jobs make it hard for them to Read more
Julia Roberts and Clive Owen joined up in London last night for the premiere of their film Duplicity. Clive and his wife Sarah-Jane walked the red carpet together, but Julia was rolling without her husband Danny. She recently opened up about all the fun she had working with Clive, and her affection for him was on display as they posed for photos. He saved the real loving for his wife, giving her Read more
While there are a zillion World War II movies out there already, I kept an open mind going into the Tom Cruise star vehicle Valkyrie. Sure, this is a movie that has been dogged by bad press from start to finish (even due, in part, to the fact that Cruise is a Scientologist) but I can see that there is a fascinating movie to be made out of a German resistance movement involving Nazi officers in Read more
The next project from Tony Gilroy, writer and director of Michael Clayton, is Duplicity, a spy thriller with a sexy couple at the heart of it. Clive Owen and Julia Roberts play two corporate spies with a romantic past who "hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses." Paul Giamatti and the awe-inspiring Tom Wilkinson also star. I watched the trailer a few times because Read more
RocknRolla is extremely similar in tone and format to director Guy Ritchie's other films, and I must say I'm starting to think that his movies are only as good as the actors in them. Snatch is a good ensemble piece overall, but the most memorable parts are due to standout performances by actors like Brad Pitt and Alan Ford. Though not as good a film as Snatch, RocknRolla similarly benefits from Read more
The title of this movie doesn't have an exclamation point at the end — I added that to the headline on account of my extreme enthusiasm for the RocknRolla trailer! As a huge fan of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I am positively giddy to see a trailer for another movie in that same vein. Plus, the cast rocks. There's Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Jeremy Piven, and, well, Read more
