Hansel And Gretel Witch Hunters 3D (Jan 2013)

Hansel And Gretel, the popular fairy tale from Brother Grimm has a new twist  in this latest adaptation. Instead of the innocent brother and sister, Hansel and Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches like nobody's business.

Lead by Jeremy Renner (as Hansel) and Gemma Arterton (as Gretel), this latest adaptation was directed by Norwegion director Tommy Wirkola whom brought us Dead Snow in 2009 (click on the image below for more details).

Somehow, the movie poster and trailer of Hansel And Gretel Witch Hunters reminded me of Sherlock Holmes (the one from Robert Downey Jr). Except that the main characters are dealing more with the like of werewolves and witches. What do you think?

Tai-Chi Zero [太极 0] With 27 Awesome Movie Posters/Stills (Oct 2012)

Finally, after a long wait, here come the rare Chinese 3D movie from Hong Kong/China,Tai-Chi Zero (太极 0). Directed by Stephen Fung (冯德伦) with a sterling casts from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. To name just a few, Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家辉), Shu Qi (舒淇), Angelababy (杨颖), Deniel Wu (吴彦祖), Eddie Peng (彭于晏) and many others..

From the trailer, the special effect  and fighting sequence looks solid but it seems to be a bit too light-hearted for a martial art movie. Hopefully the actual movie is much more serious than what have been shown in the trailer. By the way, this is only the first instalment of a trilogy, maybe they will call it Tai -Chi 1 and Tai-Chi 2 for the sequels? On second thought, maybe not, hope they come out with the more creative names! ;-)

Dredd 3D (Sep 2012)

17 years before Dredd 3D, we have Judge Dredd (1995, by Sylvester Stallone). This time round, the titular character reprises by Karl Urban. In this futuristic comic-turned-movie, Dredd is the executioner, Dredd is the law. 

In this second reboot, it will be more violence (Rated R in USA), more blood, more gun power and more slo-mo action. By the way, the addictive drug in the movie is called SLO-MO, so it gives the director plenty of reason for the impressive slo-mo sequence (check out the red band slo-mo clip below).

Not long ago, Lionsgate has released an impressive motion poster for Dredd 3D and I loved it! Don't believe me? Check out the poster at my earlier post: Dredd 3D - Impressive Motion Poster.

Meanwhile, if you are interested to revisit the 1995 version before stepping into the cinema for this fresh reboot, click on the image below:
