Well isn’t this a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious kind of development. Continuing their seemingly unending mission to revitalize all their old, most beloved properties, Disney are busy developing a live-action sequel to Mary Poppins. The original 1964 musical film was based on the books by P.L. Travers and starred the legendary Julie Andrews as the eponymous magical nanny who visits a dysfunctional London …

When I first heard word that a sequel to seminal 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner was seriously happening, I may have shed some geeky tears into my corn flakes (pro-tip: salty sadness is not a great condiment for cereal). But then came the news that the sequel was in fact going to be directed by Denis Villeneuve, the incredible French-Canadian …

As my wife and I are blitzing through a James Bond series rewatch in anticipation of Spectre, I am currently up to my shaken not stirred eyeballs in 007, having literally just finished watching Moonraker before writing this and about to start on For Your Eyes Only thereafter.

During that span Campbell has appeared in some truly dodgy productions and to call out his worst film is …

Perfect Guy took the number one spot over the North American weekend, barely edging out M Night Shania Twain’s* The Visit which came in at second. After numerous back to back flops, M Night Shyamalan’s …

Once upon a time, Ridley Scott was one of the best and most beloved filmmakers in Hollywood. The Blade Runner and Alien director has seen a huge slump in later years though, from the bland Robin Hood to the much derided The Counsellor to the divisive Exodus: Gods and Kings and of course the movie that launched a thousand “just …

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: You just can’t keep a 1980s horror franchise down. With Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees getting new, new revivals, it looks like good ol’ Michael myers will also rejoin his fellow slashers again soon.
