Green Zone Poster November 6, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies, Uncategorised , add a commentMatt Damon and Paul Greengrass are reuniting once more, no not for another Bourne movie despite that being on the cards, but for war film The Green Zone.
During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert.
Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission.
Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.
We brought you the exciting trailer last week but it’s time to feast your eyes on the brand new poster for the film.

Salt Trailer November 5, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentIt’s always exciting when Angelina Jolie takes to the big screen, although we haven’t seen her in a movie since her Oscar nominated turn in Changeling.
But all that will change in 2010 when the rather exciting Salt is finally released.
Evelyn Salt (Jolie) is a CIA officer who swore an oath to duty, honor, and country.
When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot.

More Avatar Images November 4, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentAvatar is set to be the big event movie of the winter, it looks so incredible!
We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth’s energy crisis.
Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human “drivers” have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air.
These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora… the Na’vi.
Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na’vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore.
But a beautiful Na’vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake’s life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures.
As Jake’s relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na’vi way and finally takes his place among them.
Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

Harry Brown Clip November 4, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentHarry Brown will see an icon of cinema return to the big screen in the form of Michael Caine.
It’s already been a good year for the actor with Is Anybody There? and this looks set to continue with what is being called on of the best British movies of 2009.
Set in modern-day Britain, Harry Brown follows one man’s (Caine) journey through a chaotic world where drugs are the currency of the day and guns run the streets.
A modest law-abiding citizen, Harry Brown is a retired Marine and a widower who lives alone on a depressed housing estate. His only company is his best friend Leonard (David Bradley).
When Leonard is murdered by a gang of thugs, Harry feels compelled to act and is forced to dispense his own brand of justice.
As he bids to clean up the run-down estate where he lives, his actions bring him into conflict with the police, led by investigating officer DCI Frampton (Emily Mortimer) and Charlie Creed-Miles.
Prince of Persia Trailer November 3, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentThe computer game movie tends not to fair very well at the box office, and there have been a few attempts in recent years.
But undeterred by the failings of other movies, how bad was Hitman?, the team that were behind Pirates of the Caribbean are bringing Prince of Persia to the big screen.
And no there are no second rate actors in this one as Jake Gyllenhall, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton are all on the cast list for what should, hopefully, be one of the biggest movies of next summer.
Set in 9th century medieval Persia, a young adventurous prince uncovers a dangerous artifact in a remote mountain kingdom and with the help of an enemy princess, must stop a despot from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy all mankind.

However Eastwood is back behind the camera with yet another movie in the form of Invictus, which reunites him with Morgan Freeman, and also stars Matt Damon.
Invictus is a biopic picture which looks at the life of Nelson Mandela after the fall of apartheid in South Africa during his first term as president when campaigned to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup event as an opportunity to unite his countrymen.
This movie has got Oscars written all over it, everyone knows that the Academy loves a biopic picture, and could see Freeman get his hands on the top prize.
