I’m a big fan of Orange Is The New Black, the surprise hit for Netflix. It’s a smart prison drama – one that I’ve read is actually quite authentic – and above that and excellent female-driven drama. Last Updated: May 12, 2015
Ahhh, Hannibal. A series that I was first hesitant to engage in and then ended up needing more and more every time I was dragged into the madness of Mads Mikkelsen’s character (and what a portrayal of Hannibal Lecter, better than Sir Anthony Hopkins in my book!). The first two seasons managed to captivate me in a way only a few other …
Old action heroes never die, they just end up in prison. It happened to Stallone & Schwarzenegger in Escape Plan, and now it’s Dolph Lundgren’s turn in Riot. And here we all thought they were expendable. Anyway here’s the synopsis of the ridiculous-sounding plot, but we’ve never watched a B-action movie for the story now have we? Copper Jack Stone …
TV series adaptations of famous movies have a track record wobblier than the first episode of a season The Biggest Loser. For every awesome Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Fargo and M*A*S*H*, we we get Timecop… and actually, Timecop is the only example I need; it’s crap enough for all the other crap shows. And now another famous sci-fi …
Mallrats will always be one of my defining films from my childhood. Finding a dusty old DVD version of the flick, booting it up and basking in the shenanigans of Brodie, Jay and Silent Bob while Ben Affleck scummed things up in the background all made for an enjoyable film. Especially if you were a comic book fan back in …
It’s Spring cleaning time on US TV networks. As “Bloody Friday” saw several shows getting axed last week (including one of our favourites, Constantine) the networks now start pitching their replacement shows. Major player NBC, who wielded one of the bloodiest axes as it got rid of nine shows (including the aforementioned Constantine as well Katherine Heigl’s State of Affairs), …
You ever read the “Lucifer” comics? They’re a Machiavellian saga of intrigue, magic and double-dealing of the highest order, starring the former number one angel of the heavens. In other words, they’re damn good, and Lucifer Morningstar’s quest to find a purpose outside of what his creator intended for him makes for one hell of a series. The upcoming TV …
Just a few hours after you read this, I’ll be on my way to watch Mad Max: Fury Road. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a moment to hate me… There, feel better now? Oh, you didn’t actually hate me for getting to watch one of the most anticipated movies of the year before you? Well, then allow me to stoke …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
