Arnold Schwarzenegger must like big butts, because he cannot lie. When he told us he would be back all those years ago, he wasn’t kidding. The Governator’s return to the world of movies may not have been as successful (at least commercially) as he may have hoped, but those were all with new movies and not the characters that made …
I’ve been very intrigued by Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, but that’s just because I’m always intrigued by anything Vaughn does. Especially when what he’s doing involves a comic book adaptation. Vaughn has already struck comic book gold thrice previously with Stardust, X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass. The latter is an adaptation of acclaimed writer Mark Millar’s comic book, and now Vaughn is once again …
I love movies that are whack, movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so it is with great glee that I present to you a trailer for the upcoming Inherent Vice, a mix of cops, kidnapping plots of billionaire boyfriends, drugs, and a very different looking Joaquin Phoenix.

The latter was not only an unprecedented critical and commercial success (it’s the …
It’s quite easy for an adaptation of an existing property to forget what made its source material so popular. Which would explain Man Of Steel I guess. With a new Peanuts movie on the way, kids are going to be introduced to Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang for the first time. Charles Schulz may be gone, …
It feels like I’ve been writing about Seventh Son, an adaptation of popular YA fantasy novel “The Spook’s Apprentice”, for years now already. Oh, wait. I actually have been writing about it for years! The Jeff Bridges led flick finished its principal photography in back in 2012 already, but was then shelved when VFX company Rhythm & Hues went bankrupt (famously …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!

Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
