For a while a lot of people dismissed Keanu Reeves as an actor that was only good at imitating anything that required a blank look, like wood, but I have to say I’ve often enjoyed him in his roles. Recently he received a lot of praise for his absolutely incredible role as hitman John Wick, a movie that proved America can compete …

Do you know who Rick Famuyiwa is? I have a feeling that you’re going to soon. The indie writer/director has just burst onto the scene garnering the attentions of several big studios (Marvel is rumoured to want him to direct Black Panther) and he did it all with dope.

Clearly Charlie, the ghostly bad guy in hotly anticipated horror flick The Gallows, doesn’t quite understand the distinction, based on what we’re seeing in this first trailer for producer Jason …

It wasn’t too long ago that we told you the BBC was developing a 90-minute docudrama around the life and times of Rockstar Games’ best-selling ‘Grand Theft Auto’ video game series, and on it’s (British) creators Sam and Dan Houser.
