It's the reign of the robots on screen, even though Spielberg's Robopocalypse went back to the drawing board for a total rethink.
Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim will show pilot-operated machines tackling an invasion of giant monsters, another Transformers is on the way and the next X-Men film is an exciting time-travel tale that will see mutant-hunting Sentinels targeting the team.
Continuing the trend but on a much smaller scale is Robot & Frank, which will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on March 8, 2013.
An official UK poster was recently unveiled for the movie, which is directed by Jake Schreier and stars Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden and Liv Tyler, with Robot voiced by Peter Sarsgaard.
Robot & Frank is a buddy caper. Set in the near future, ageing curmudgeon and retired jewel thief Frank (Frank Langella) lives a solitary life until his son (James Marsden) installs a caretaker robot,...

Chillerama introduced the world to a number of things, from sex-hungry ghouls to man-eating semen, but perhaps the most memorable segment in last year’s anthology hit is Tim Sullivan’s I Was A Teenage Werebear. The hybrid of Rebel Without A Cause and Beach Blanket Bingo (with a little bit of s&m) is a hilarious musical that goes over the top to a sweet tune. Now the tunes featured in Werebear are available in a limited edition soundtrack that, despite being on the market less than 24 hours at this point, is already causing waves.
Sullivan initially offered the disc on Ebay as a bulk quantity auction, but within hours, the auction giant removed his listing, citing it as, “sexually and morally offensive.” As a result, the filmmaker has had to ask interested parties to order directly from him by sending an request to newrebel2211@gmail.com with your...

What grabs you about a movie? Sometimes it's a kick-ass trailer that simply blows you away with awesome imagery and a peek into an amazing story. Sometimes it's the poster, a simple one-sheet that ropes you in, like the iconic Jaws poster or some of the creative shots for the Saw films. But sometimes all it takes is the title. That's definitely the case in Lance Polland's new film, Crack Whore.
There's not much that needs to be said after that title. You know it's going to be a hot mess of violence, blood and debauchery with a title like Crack Whore, and Polland assures us that's exactly what he delivers.
The veteran of such films as Bloody Bloody Bible Camp (featuring everyone's favorite hedgehog Ron Jeremy) and Slices, Polland has seen his share of blood and boobs. He is credited as writer and director on this project.
