SAW is getting a 10th anniversary re-release
Even though the franchise is now flimsier than a TB Joshua church, I still have a soft spot for the first SAW movie. Here was a film that was groundbreaking, edgey and scary. This was the future of horror movies! And the real terror lied in the fact that this franchise would be run into the ground with tepid sequels …
Peter Jackson talks THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES and how he's expanding the story
It’s a well worn-out joke how Peter Jackson took J.R.R. Tolkien’s brisk 280-page children’s story The Hobbit and turned it into 9-hour long blockbuster movie trilogy. And if you’re one of those purists who hated all the padding that Jackson did in the series’ first two chapters, then the joke’s on you as Jackson is definitely not changing his expansionist ways for …
William Shatner may beam into the next Star Trek movie
One I thing I have always been is a huge fan of Star Trek.

Victor Zsaz and a few more villains are coming to GOTHAM
By now, you’ve seen the pilot episode of Gotham. A show that is so heavy on the foreshadowing, that I’m expecting the second episode to introduce a chiropracter by the name of Benjamin Ainsley who happens to have a knack for breaking spines. Only with less medical quackery and more lethal results than your usual fly by night bone adjustment …
THE WALKING DEAD spinoff show's character descriptions give us the first hints of the story
We’re just a few weeks away from The Walking Dead‘s fifth season, and with the show looking to just be picking up where it left off when it comes to being a network ratings juggernaut, you have to wonder why it took this long for some kind of spinoff show to be developed. With the show’s insane popularity, anything associated with it is all …
