This year’s San Diego Comic-Con was a landmark one for the famous convention. Besides for all the big announcements and reveals that happened there, by far the biggest story that came out of that weekend in July was studios’ insistence on Comic-Con exclusive trailers. With getting into the vaunted Hall H becoming more impossible with each passing year, this practice …
Breaking box office records is usually followed by the popping of champagne, singing and dancing, maybe even a celebratory bagel or two. Usually. Unfortunately it is also possible to break the totally wrong kind of record as one particular film discovered this weekend past. EW is reporting that We Are Your Friends, the latest flick starring Zac Efron, only managed …
It seems like it was just yesterday that Daniel Craig was announced as the next James Bond, taking over from Pierce Brosnan who had played the role of the infamous secret agent from 1995 through until 2002. So far, the Craig era has been a rocky one, both internally and externally thanks to recent cash woes at parent company MGM. …
You don’t get a classier caliber of actor than Bill Murray. The guy is charming, funny, and can act his socks off (yet has never won an Oscar – rigged MUCH?)

That, and it seems like he’ll take on any movie script that comes his way these days. So it’s kind of weird to …
Believe it or not, but sports such as American football are rather dangerous. After all, when you have a field of two dozen men who weigh about as much as VW Beetle on steroids, decked in armour and regularly causing flesh collisions every time they play a game, somebody is bound to get hurt. And by hurt, I mean suffer …
Unlike some of my already disillusioned colleagues, I still love me some Game of Thrones. But as fantastic as HBO’s fantasy drama has been, there’s no denying that it doesn’t quite scratch that fantasy itch for me. Sure they got a couple of fire breathing dragons, some super cool undead and the worst case of dry skin ever (Ingram’s Camphor …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
