Dollhouse is cancelled

The guys over at aintitcool have just reporter that Fox has pulled the plug on Dollhouse.

I know a lot of people out there didn’t like the show but I, for one, will miss it. I was really getting into season two and in true Whedon style we were starting to get under the skin of some of the characters, especially Topher. I suppose I should be glad that Fox has promised to at the remaining nine episodes that were filmed

I wonder if after this Joss may give up on writing for TV, at least for FIx anyway so it seems are pretty ruthless when it comes to there Sci-Fi/Fantasy shows.

I’m just glad Supernatural or BSG wasn’t on there as god knows how many seasons Fox would have given it.

Farewell Echo and the gang, I would have like to see a little more of your journey before Fox sent you to the attic.

Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths – Trailer

 

GS Reporter: Nuge

Advert Break – Harry Brown is coming for you in cinemas today!

Set in modern-day Britain, HARRY BROWN follows one man’s (Sir Michael 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.

Sir Michael goes back to his bad ass ‘Get Carter’ roots by the look of the trailer and the clips I’ve seen so far for this. Anyway the film is hitting the flicks today folks if you want to check it out!

Here are a few clips to get you started.

Clash of the Titans Trailer

I have found memories of  going to see the original Clash of the Titans film at cinema as a kid (Yes I even loved the Clockwork Owl). When they announced they were doing a remake I thought ok so long as it keeps the same epic vibe I got from the original film.

I  thought, after watching this first trailer,  that this definitely has that epic vibe to it  and felt like it had taken the look of Gladiator and bought it into the Clash of the Titans universe.

My only two problems?  the tag line and the trailer music. You give me all these epic scenes and then stick on this cheap ass rock sound track (so you couldn’t nick some backing music from the hundreds of fantasy film trailers out there?). Also the ‘Titans will Clash” really? it made it sound like this was a trailer for some WWF rematch.

Despite those missteps (please someone in internet land give me a new mashup with some decent backing music) I really liked the look of the trailer.

Kick Ass – The Trailer

I’m a big fan of the Kick Ass comic by Mark Millar (still got one more issue to read) and if the film lives up to half of the fun I got from watching that trailer then I’m going to be one happy comic geek.
