Hannibal (2013 – ) First Thoughts

May 21, 2013 by hooray4movies

Last weekend one of my avid readers (and long time friend) Laura asked me a favour. She was intrigued by the new Hannibal TV show which received its premier in the UK a couple of weeks ago. But, being a big flowery wussbag she was worried it might be too scary. So, she turned to the opinion she trusts most on these things. Me. Not one to leave a lady too much time to question her decision making process I […]

R.I.P.D. (2013) Official Trailer – This Years Men In Black?

May 20, 2013 by hooray4movies

Wisecracking star known for his comedy/action chops, fast mouth and pretty face? Check. Grizzled old star known for being….well…grizzled? Check. Secret department trying to save the world from being overrun by monsters? Check. Men In Black 4? No. This is in fact R.I.P.D. and it could be the surprise hit of the summer. Based on Peter Lenkov’s graphic novel by the same name the story follows a recently slain cop (Reynolds) as he comes to terms with his recruitment to the […]

May 20, 2013 by hooray4movies

For the observant of you out there you may notice some changes to the website. Mainly the fact it is no longer called Shoving Buddies, but in fact Hooray For Movies!!

Christopher Nolan to Direct Bond 24 (2016)?

May 17, 2013 by hooray4movies

Now I don’t want to say this was anything to do with me………….because it really wasn’t. But, I did say I was going to start a campaign to get Nolan to fill the void in Bond 24 left by the one-and-done Sam Mendes. And lo-and-behold the rumours have started. Coincidence? Absolutely. Am I going to take credit for it? You betcha. From the Daily Mail via the fine folks at Total Film (I refuse to link to the Daily Mail website […]

Face Of Stone, Heart Of Butter: 10 Greatest John C Reilly Roles

May 16, 2013 by hooray4movies

His face looks like it is made from stone, and he has a heart made from soft butter. It’s John C Reilly. The one the only. For me, these are his best 10. 10. The River Wild (1994) as Terry The first role I remember seeing Reilly in was a film that I was weirdly made to watch for an English assignment. Now I think about it I believe my teacher just couldn’t be bothered anymore……….. Anyway, in a cast including […]

Dark Skies (2013) – Signs Mark II

May 15, 2013 by hooray4movies

Synopsis: As the Barret family’s peaceful suburban life is rocked by an escalating series of disturbing events, they come to learn that a terrifying and deadly force is after them. My Take Dark Skies suffers from the same problem that a lot of alien/poltergeist/ghostly movies suffer from: the absence of the monster is much scarier than the monster itself. When the story leaves you with a monster/ghostly shaped hole to fill in your mind, imaginations are left to run wild. You […]

Fox Announces New Seth MacFarlane Comedy “Dads”

May 14, 2013 by hooray4movies

As was so well covered by Dave over at Killing Time the various networks are in the process of announcing their full 2013/14 schedules. The raft of potential new and recommissioned content is vast and I am not going to attempt to get into the details of the various pluses and minuses. That said, one show stands out above all others as potentially being an instant cult classic; Dads. Now, I know the name conjures up all sorts of terrible sitcom potentials. If I didn’t […]

Joe Wright to direct Fifty Shades of Grey?

May 10, 2013 by hooray4movies

As soon as the inevitable news was broken that literary mummy porn favourite Fifty Shades was being adapted for the big screen, every leading actor with a 6 pack and penis has been thrown into the mix for the role of Christian Grey. Less speculated though is who will be charged with bringing the whole thing to the big screen. Ironically the notion of 50 Shades on the big screen gets me about as aroused as the thought licking bits […]
