An amazing wallcrawler swung into cinemas this week, with everyone hedging bets at 2:1 that Spidey would conquer the box office. And that he did, as the ol’ webhead easily took the first spot. The question though, was if this sequel could at least spin some more cash out of the franchise when compared to the moderate opening of the …
I bet those scientists around the world have listened to our local eggheads. You see, while Godzilla may be a force of nature that will make famous landmark insurance rates around the world skyrocket, we’ve dealt with such monsters before.

That’s because this is very unique in that Linklater intended for it to take this long. Starting in 2006, Linklater cast the then six-year old Ellar …
This may be a tad hyperbolic, but I’m pretty sure that Mad Max: Fury Road has been in production since before my people were legally allowed to vote. After numerous reshoots and budget over-runs etc, George Miller’s fourth Mad Max tale – with Tom Hardy now stepping into Mel Gibson’s post apocalyptic shoes – wrapped principal photography last year already, and still we have nothing …
In an ironic twist, Evolve's community manager is fired for a private tweet about people's private views.
