Oh wow. Looks great. I love how they’ve captured the express…hey, wait a minute!
That caption.
That image.
Look away, Timmy. Look away.
The Hollywood remake juggernaut rolls on, this time delivering a rejigging of a wonderful Swedish vampire film, Let the Right One In.

Zach Synder, director of 300 and Watchmen, plunders the mind of your typical 15-year-old and finds dragons, a WWII-era bomber swooping under a bridge, Japanese schoolgirls with swords, trench fighting and machine guns all mixed up into 1:26 of insanity.

Sorry, Karl. No fanboys in on Wednesday.
This little gem had Broadsheet in floods of tears as young men, much as randy Uncle Mike would make us cry when he bit us. But unlike Mike, Flight of the Doves is not paralysed down one side of its body with severe gout in both legs and married to a woman who pees in a bag.
In fact Flight of the Doves has aged impeccably. This section deals with pretty much everything that was to happen 30 years later. It opens outside a synagogue in Temple Bar (actually The River Club), where two scamps are hiding in bins…

Inappropriate laughter. Our stock in trade here at SnarkBlog Broadsheet, thank you very little, Sunday Tribune.

Stallone! Statham! Li! Lundgren! Austin! Rourke! (Not forgetting cameos from Schwarzenegger! and Willis!) It’s your favourite 80s and 90s action heroes on a working holiday. They’ve aged, you’ve aged but we’re all still in love.
And sure while they’re at it, why not stiff the locals?
Who could resist a film with John Malkovich as an LSD-addled maniac, Helen Mirren as a machine-gun toting assassin and Bruce Willis as, well, Bruce Willis? Red, based on a comic by Warren Ellis, promises all of that and more.

Ah, SyFy channel. Undisputed home of WTF.
Also available for your viewing pleasure: Mansquito, Mega Piranha and – one shits one not – Flu Bird Horror.
Coming soon: this.
The leaked Thor trailer from San Diego Comic Con. Another of Marvel’s films leading up to The Avengers in 2012 (Captain America being another due out next year). I’m still gutted the Brian Blessed as Odin rumour was fake.
THOR Update: The ‘Man’ has gone and removed the trailer. Looked a bit shit, anyway.
