We all know what makes a classic movie: it has to be timeless, constantly re-watchable and basically universally adored. Also, it generally has to be old. I’m not even going as far back as classic-classic movies like Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind or Casablanca. Looking at your more “modern” classic movies like The Godfather trilogy, the original Star Wars …

I’ve got an annual tradition. Near Christmas, I plop my ass down and watch anything starring Seth Rogen or James Franco. For the last two years, I’ve kind of been spoiled, having the two actors not only together but actually starring in some damn good comedy films in the form of This Is The End and The Interview. This year however, the …

We should probably be expecting the official release of the Deadpool trailer any day now. After star Ryan Reynolds and crew brought the house down at Comic-Con with the first look at the long-awaited comic book movie, a low-quality bootlegged copy of the trailer found its way online (big surprise!).

Recently Hollywood has taken note of the mass, mass, MASS market in China, a country with just under two billion denizens and a powerhouse economy. Although culturally they are rather far removed from western conventions they are adopting and assimilating extremely fast and that means lots of money for those who want …

The Batman has had plenty of great stories that have helped define the character, from Knightfall through to The Court of Owls, but when it comes to his arch-nemesis the Joker, there’s only one tale that truly sums up that horrific clown prince of crime. And that’s The Killing Joke. It’s a legendary tale that aims to give the Joker …

When you think about it, Spider-Man is kind of a dick. Sure, there may be an evil genius on the loose with a bad haircut and four mechanical arms of doom, but that’s no reason to make fun of the guy and his terrible fashion sense.  Still, it’s that dickish charm which makes Spidey so great, as he’s quick to …
