Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …
If you just read that headline above and went “Wait, what?!”, then you’ll be happy to know that you’re not alone in your incredulity. Not only did I also have no idea they were making a Knight Rider movie, I also have zero idea why they would want to. The original 1980’s Knight Rider TV series occupies a very fond …
How’s that famous quote go? “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and it doesn’t look they’re going to be silenced any time soon!”. Well, not quite, but I have a feeling that that’s what it should be as Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened last week (on Wednesday …
It may sound ridiculous, but I think Terry Gilliam should ask Vin Diesel for some filmmaking tips. While Gilliam has infamously been struggling for decades to get some of his film projects made, Diesel just keeps pulling off the impossible. First he helped turn a pretty average fast car action series into one of the biggest franchises in movie history, …
It appears that this was the week for stars. On Wednesday we all geeked our brains out for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but before that we actually kicked off the Star-ry sci-fi goodness a bit earlier than expected when Paramount unveiled the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond four days ahead of schedule. And damn, it’s explosive! No, really. …
AAAAAAAAAAHUHUHUHUHAAAAAAAHHHHH!! No, I didn’t just see Nick’s morning face again, that’s just my impersonation of Tarzan’s famous ululating yell, which is called for as the first trailer for the new Legend of Tarzan has recently come swinging in. True Blood star (and as close to a real life freaking Viking that we have) Alexander Skarsgard is the latest in the …
Well this just went from bad to worse. When news broke recently that the long-gestating Rambo: Final Blood was being shelved by FOX in favour of a new Rambo TV series focusing on Sylvester Stallone’s action hero and a newly introduced son, most fans reacted with a concerted “What?!”. And it seems that one of those fans was Stallone himself. …
I rewatched Independence Day earlier this year for the first time in ages (Clearly I don’t watch much eTV or I would have seen it every other month), and you know what? It’s still pretty damn fun. Nobody’s ever going to accuse director Roland Emmerich and screenwriting partner Dean Devlin of making the most intellectual pieces of art, but the …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!

Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
