To all you Harry Potter fans eagerly waiting to read the ‘Harry Potter prequel’…….here you go! You can now find it over at the Waterstones - What’s Your Story? website.

The Incredible Hulk (12A)
Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt, Tim Roth, Tim Blake Nelson
Director: Louis Leterrier
Running Time: 112 minutes
I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who thought ‘hear we go again’ when they announced another Hulk film. I personally thought the first Hulk was the biggest waste of time going.
The more trailers and TV spots I saw for ‘The Incredible Hulk’ the more I started swaying towards the idea that this could be a good film after all.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (12A)
Cast: Harrison Ford, Ray Winstone, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, William Hurt, Karen Allen, Jim Broadbent
Director: Steven Spielberg
Running Time: 122 minutes
I’m a big Indiana Jones fan and was in two minds about this film being released. At first I thought that Harrison Ford would be too old to give us a decent action performance, and because of what George Lucas did to Star Wars, I was nervous. But on the other hand, I really wanted to see another Indiana Jones film. But I was surprised by just how good Harrison Ford still is at action films.

‘Iron Man’ Review

IRON MAN (12A)
Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard
Director: Jon Favreau
Running Time: 126 mins
So begins one of the biggest summers in movie history!
When I first heard Iron Man was coming to the big screen, I was a bit sceptical. Was it to be another poor attempt at introducing a Marvel hero, or was this to be marker for future superhero films?

January 27, 2008
I remember reading speculation about a new Knight Rider project for the past few years, sometimes it was concerning a movie re-make version of the original series, other times it was a new Knight Rider TV show - it turns out that we have in fact a new Knight Rider TV series coming up!
I have fond memories from my childhood of sitting down in front of the TV on a Friday night with my parents and watching the original Michael Knight talking with his state-of-the-art black Pontiac Trans Am KITT car!
The original KITT was the ‘Knight Industries Two Thousand’, whereas the car in the new Knight Rider series is the ‘Knight Industries Three Thousand’ as this show is actually a follow-up to the original series with David Hasselhoff as opposed to the original speculation of it being a re-make. The car itself is a Ford Mustang Shelby in black with the obligatory moving red light at the front; you can see some pictures of the new car here.

November 20, 2007
Shrooms has the tagline of “Get ready to get wasted”, this could so easily have been used in so many recent horror/slasher movies in one sense or another, especially given the quality of some of them!
In the case of Shrooms, another bunch of American teenagers go camping in the woods, this time in Ireland. They end up finding mushrooms rather than the Blair Witch! They then get attacked by ghostly creatures, are they hallucinating or truly being attacked in the good old ’slasher-movie’ sense? Take a look at the trailer video below and see what you think.

November 17, 2007
Ghostbusters 3 game, a would-be new movie sequel that I personally would love to see as I’ve liked Ghostbusters since I was a kid when I’d watch the movies and the Real Ghostbusters cartoon series. It’s been talked about appearing in one form or another over the years, be it a live action or a CGI movie, however apparently Bill Murray has been less than enthusiastic, whereas Dan Ackroyd has the one who’s really been trying to push for it to happen.
Earlier this year some footage of what was thought to be a Ghostbusters game made by Zootfly was released, however Sony then ordered that all reference to the franchise be removed, presumably because they were already working on a Ghostbusters game title.Now an official game which Dan Ackroyd is involved in (he’s doing motion capture and everything!) has been announced and some footage released, which apparently takes place after the events of the Ghostbusters 2 movie with the team now being more successful with their Ghostbusting business and is essentially Ghostbusters 3!
