It's time for Cinepub to get in on the sweet, sweet remake business. The finished product will be quite different to this. This is just to give you a teeny, tiny taste of the idea of the thing.

The Passion Of The Christ Review
Ok, so my special late Easter review, The Passion Of The Christ! Um, if you're a Christian, you might be a bit offended. Sorry. (These to videos will be replaced by one once it's finished processing.)

Trailerz: The Z makes it cool, Part 1.
Well, it’s been a while since I wrote anything and also a while since I just sat back and watched some trailers so while getting caught up on them, I thought I might as well write about a few of them as well. Let’s join me, won’t you?
Taking Woodstock:
Anything about Woodstock is automatically interesting to me and the fact that Demetri Martin stars just sweetens the pot. I think he’s a genuinely funny guy and hopefully he’ll really bring something to this film. Other stars include Emile Hirsch, aka the dude who played that stupid dude who went of and died in the woods in that awesome movie Into The Wild, and Liev Schreiber, Shakespearean actor and portrayer of Sabretooth. My only major concern with this one is that it could end up a little more Waynestock than it does Woodstock but it does look interesting with it’s unique approach to the behind-the-scenes aspects of the festival. It is expected limited release is August 14th.
Drag Me To Hell:
Yes Sam Raimi’s stepped away from Spider-Man long enough to bring us the story of a bank employee suffering from a gypsy curse. Now as of late I’ve been a little burned out on horror films, I just never seem to get a break from them, but damnit Sam’s gotten me interested again. Even more surprising coz I’m more a slasher kind of guy than a straight up supernatural-horror kinda guy but this trailer has me genuinely excited. It’s kind of, well, impossible to tell for sure really but since this a Sam Raimi film, I’m sure there’ll be a healthy smattering of humour too. Good stuff for sure. It’s set to be released on May 29.
The People Vs. George Lucas:
I remember hearing about this a while ago and not being sure what to think about it. On the one hand, George Lucas gave us the original trilogy. On the other hand he gave us the prequel trilogy and Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Alien Plot Contrivance. And of course, there’s the whole Han shot first issue to deal with. Seriously, what would people think if an artist suddenly stormed into an art gallery, after years of letting his work hang completed in a gallery, and began changing it using the excuse “Oh well, we have better paint nowadays, watch me improve this!”
Anyway, I’ll be very interested to see how this film goes and besides, any film with a song about George Lucas raping your childhood has got to be a little bit fun. As far as I know, there’s no definite release date yet.
Infestation:
Well, in my opinion, this is fairly cool looking. Low budget comedy horror with giant bugs that seem to have the power to turn people into giant bug Zombies. Pure mindless fun, probably a good film to have a few beers while watching. I’ve heard some people criticise the special effects but I can’t see that much wrong with them and besides, do you remember how awesome the CGI was in the Evil Dead trilogy? Exactly. Now, this isn’t going to be as good as those films but like I said just a good one to turn your brain off and get drunk to, I reckon. Expect it later this year.
G-Force:
Oh god, did that Guinea Pig just say "Holla!"? The only thing that's great about guinea pigs is that fucked up squeaking nosie they make. You're going to take that away and make them ethnic stereotypes? Seriously, what the fuck is the world coming to...
And why do these movies always have stupid fucking "Hey look, I'm an animal" jokes like that fucking worm joke with the mole. There are intelligent ways to write shit like that. Doesn't have to be largely pun based. Fuckers.
And there's only one fly who hangs with kick-ass rodents and that's Zipper from Chip N' Dale: Rescue Rangers. Mother Fuckers. But hey, I’m well with that dude at the end. This is a horrible crime against nature. This rodent pellet gets squeezed out on July 24th.
