Trailer Park: Dredd
Not sure this new Judge #Dredd movie looks much better than the not-quite as-terrible-as-you-think Stallone version.

Trailer Park: The Bourne Legacy
Another trailer for Bourne re-boot The Bourne Legacy, though this one sets the movie inside the second Matt Damon movie - and it looks like several characters from the first trilogy reprise their roles here. Clever. Though, kind of like that third Damon movie.

Prometheus
Shapeless script and shoddy direction add up to make this Ridley Scott's 'Attack of the Clones'. Woeful.

Ethan Hawke is saying that there's a third part to the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset films on the way. Can they follow up what was already a risky sequel without blowing it? And what would they call it - Before Sundown? Would like to see more of those two, have to say. On a side note, heard good things about Julie Delpy's Two Days In New York, the sequel to her v enjoyable Two Days In Paris

Trailer Park: Wreck-It Ralph
John C Reilly voices Wreck-It Ralph, a videogame bad guy who gets bored of his job in this new cartoon feature out later in the year. Nice idea. Jane Lynch, Jack McBrayer and Sarah Silverman are among the other voices, looks like lots of game baddies are in there too - Zangieff, one of Pac-Man's ghosts, Eggman etc...

Alien
Tense, timeless sci-fi. Magnificently designed and executed and only mildly showing its 33 years.
Halliwell says: Deliberately scarifying and highly commercial shocker with little but its art direction to commend it to connoisseurs.*

Trailer Park: Safety Not Guaranteed
Love a good riff on time travel, and this Sundance comedy looks promising. With Aubrey "the sarky one from Parks And Rec" Plaza and Jake "that dude from New Girl" Johnson. Like the set up - three magazine reporters decide to investigate this ad:
"Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."
More on the inspiration - a real life ad - here

Class
80s derivative of The Graduate - that hasn't held up too well, despite the early brat pack connection.
Halliwell says: Ghastly travesty of The Graduate which aspires to every kind of sophistication it can think of but ends nowhere.

Tougher Than Leather
While digging up old Beastie Boys clips in the last couple of weeks (#RIPMCA) I came accross an upload of the entire Tougher Than Leather movie - starring Run DMC, but with cameos from the Beasties (doing non-album track 'Desperado') and other 80s Def Jam stars.
The movie itself is like a feature-length A-Team episode.
