Based on the 1985 film of the same name, Dreamworks and Touchstone Pictures brings us the 2011 remake of FRIGHT NIGHT. Boasting an impressive cast of actors, this remake has long been dreaded by most fans of the original film (those of us that are old enough to remember when it came out at the movies) and highly anticipated by fans of the genre. This time around, the film is set in the Las Vegas s...

Australian star Joel Edgerton has done some fine work in his home country lately. His performances in WAITING CITY (2009) and ANIMAL KINGDOM (2010) are arguably his best work on the big screen. His face is known internationally as Owen Lars from STAR WARS: Episodes II and III, however despite this and roles in KING ARTHUR (2004) and SMOKIN’ ACES (2006) he is still relatively unknown internat...

With Supanova Sydney and Perth coming up extremely quick we have had a few of the guests drop out due to work commitments etc, but in great news Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series has decided to join the Supanova team once again after recently gracing them with his presence at Supanova Brisbane and Melbourne.

I absolutely loved the first Cars movie and when they greenlit the second one I was a tad hesitant as sometimes sequels can go a bit far and turn out to be a really bad movie!

Sadly the news of a “sassy” new Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake was not simply a cruel hoax. They are still going ahead with it. Whit Anderson, The writer, had us fooled for a while by the fact there had been nothing happening toward it recently, he blamed Hollywood and now has assured us that things are going well. There have been a few rolled eyes and I’m sure a few encouraging...

The next film in the Bourne franchise titled ‘The Bourne Legacy’ is known not to have either Matt Damon or Paul Greengrass attached to the project and is reportedly taking place in the established universe, but will be quite separate to the events of the previous films. This instalment is not going to be a reboot, more of a sequel linked to the events of the trilogy, without delving to...

They said it was THE Final Destination. They Lied. Back for more Death and eye-candy carnage comes FINAL DESTINATION 5. It seems that the box office draw was too much for Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema to warrant a fifth outing with Death being the lead character once again. This time the story centres around a man who has a premontition about the collapse of a suspension bridge he is on, bre...

We, the writers of AccessReel do a variety of things. Mostly legal. Mostly respectable. Sometimes, we even do things that are film-related. On this occasion we, is specifically me.

It fills me with such glee that there are still people out there that put effort into poster art work, being a fan of vintage horror film one sheets, I can appreciate the awesomeness of the new poster that has emerged for “Don’t be afraid of The Dark” an ambitious creepfest written by Guillermo Del Toro and directed by Troy Nixey. We have been waiting FOREVER for this film to get...
