Hey, Netflix, HBO wants its True Detective back! Just kidding – I certainly don’t want to give the impression that one ripped off the others when it created Narcos. But they do look and feel damn similar in this trailer – and that can only be a good thing. Last Updated: July 16, 2015
October is quickly closing in. And you know what that means. Yes sir, it’s time for some scary movies! Especially movies that are going for that whole “caught on camera” look that Paranormal Activity coined a couple years back, which equaled a super-low budget and massive returns. Bugger traditional slasher flicks! Or maybe not, as you’ll see in this first …
Some days, I need to check my pulse. Because I must be dead. After all, how do you explain the current crop of superhero movies on the way, which have resulted in Nerdvana for so many fans? Batman V Superman, Avengers, X-Men Apocalypse, Suicide Squad and a ton more movies are all leading the box office charge. But it’s the …
Writer/director David O.

The cult-favourite flick about a video gamer who gets drafted by an alien to fight in an interstellar war has garnered many fans over the years, and after seeing that trailer many of them – including some Hollywood A-listers like Seth …
HBO’s upcoming TV-series remake of the classic 1973 sci-fi western Westworld is something I’m eagerly anticipating as it combines my favourite genre – sci-fi – with my childhood favourite – westerns. During the Person of Interest panel show runner of both Person of Interest and Westworld, Jonathan Nolan, surprised everyone by releasing some teaser footage. Unfortunately unlike some of the …
The year 2015 is certainly looking to be an awesome year for comic geeks. From the highly successful Avengers: Age of Ultron to what I think is going to be a smash hit in Ant-Man, they have been offered some huge blockbusters. Which is probably why I keep forgetting about Fantastic Four (Fant4stic, yuk), which is silly because it’s been mired in so much fanboy controversy …
