Who will be the seventh Bond?

May 24, 2012
Skyfall is on its way in November, and Daniel Craig shows no signs of leaving the 007 franchise after just 3 films, but when he does, who do you think he should be replaced by? Here are the current favourites:
Michael Fassbender
The Irish star of 'Shame' and 'X-Men: First Class' certainly has the cool factor needed to play Bond, but he has never played an English character in a film before, and it is possible that he might not be able to pull it off.
Tom Hardy
The current fan favourite for the role, the 'Inception' and 'Dark Knight Rises' star would, in my opinion, be absolutely perfect for the role. He showed off his acting chops in 'Bronsan' and his comedy skills in the dreadful 'This Means War', but will it take him single-handidly lighting up the screen in TDKR before the studios are convinced of his ability?
Idris Elba
Many black actors' names have been tossed around for this role, including Will Smith, but 'The Wire' and 'Prometheus' star Elba is the current favourite. Plus, he's British.
Henry Cavill
The new Superman already has a lead role in a major franchise ahead of him, and being given the role of Bond might jumble up his Man of Steel 2 and 3 shooting schedules a bit, so most likely, no.
Sam Worthington
Worthington hasn't made many good films, although he has been the star of two or three of the biggest movies ever. He would be the first Australian 007, but not many fans are calling for him to receive the role.
Christian Bale

Batman as Bond? I don't think so.
John Hamm
Mad Men's Don Draper as Bond? I don't think so.

The Ten Best Movie Trailers of Recent Years

May 21, 2012

The Avengers www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY9DnBNJFTI
This film turned out to be amazing, but fans' doubt that Joss Whedon would be able to pull it off was destroyed at the release of this superbowl trailer. The line "we're not a team...we're a timebomb" sends a shiver down my spine watching the trailer, but was slightly altered and,in my opinion, ruined in the movie.
The Dark Knight Rises www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yh6SriAjdE
Released between the disappointing teaser and the over-long third trailer, t...

Spider-Man on the big screen: A trip down movie memory lane

May 17, 2012
A few weeks ago, I posted an article similar to this one about Batman, exploring the various cinematic incarnations of the character, and telling you which ones to catch up on and which to avoid. This time, I'll be looking at Peter Parker, from his first live-action appearance in 2002 to the reboot of the series in 2012.

5 films to see before 'Snow White and the Huntsman'

May 15, 2012
I have made a list of the films I think anyone going to see 'Snow White and the Huntsman' when it is released on June 1 should see. This list is comprised of films that show off the acting skills of the film's stars, and films which tell the classic story of Snow White in different fashions.
  1.    Thor- Yes, I could have chosen 'The Cabin in the Woods', or even 'The Avengers' as the highlight of Chris Hemsworth's career, but he appears in neither of them half as much as he does in this, his chara...

Batman on Film- A trip down movie memory lane

May 15, 2012
In this, the first in a series of features where I will be exploring how some of cinema's most popular characters and brands have developed over the years, I look at the wealthy playboy bachelor Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, and how he has evolved since first appearing on screen in 1966.

No true Batman fan can say that this film version of the classic tv series doesn't entertain them (in a whole different way, mind you) ju...
