BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Trailer For Byzantium Starring Saoirse Ronan & Gemma Arterton

Here is the first trailer for Byzantium,  thriller film is directed by Neil Jordan and starring Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton, Caleb Landry Jones and Jonny Lee Miller. The story concerns a mother/daughter vampire duo.

This is the second foray by Director Neil Jordan into the world of the undead, following his Oscar-nominated Interview with the Vampire in 1994.


Clara (Gemma Arterton) and Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) are a rampant mother-and-daughter duo of 200-year-old vampires, wreaking mayhem in the run-down quarters of an English seaside town.

Eleanor yearns to be a writer, constantly recording gothic elements of her turbulent life. Despite her self-effacing demeanour, Jordan chooses to dress her in a coat with a broad crimson hood, a possible back-reference to the hooded dwarf in Nicholas Roeg's 1973 classic thriller set in Venice Don't Look Now.

When Eleanor falls for the anaemic-looking Frank (Caleb Landry Jones), it seems that her secret may be revealed. Meanwhile, Mother Clara has moved in with no-hoper Noel (Daniel Mays), who has inherited a derelict seafront hotel - the Byzantium of the film's title - which she proceeds to convert into a bordello. Another neat cinematic 'hat-tipping' gesture by Jordan is the hotel's antique lift car: a reference to the Bradbury Building, Los Angeles, chosen by Ridley Scott as the home of the cyber designer and mechanical toy freak J.F.Sebastian, in the 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner.

Watch the trailer after the Jump...



When she is not supping on the blood of her post-coital clients, Clara is battling kung-fu style with two fearsome heavies from The Brotherhood, culminating in a gripping blood-drenched finale played out in a deserted fairground arcade.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
