This week’s Breaking Bad takes on an unheralded Troma classic: Poultrygeist – Night of the Chicken Dead, perfect for a Halloween watch. Troma, like Asylum, pride themselves on creating low-budget classics and if even half of what I’d read about this film prior to watching it was true, it was likely to be their greatest achievement. And believe me, I …
It’s a good time for new hero film trailers. Straight off of that Captain America: Winter Soldier debut came X-Men: Days of Future Past, which kept the action a minimum and the characters up close and personal. Compared to previous trailers in this genre, it’s actually a massive departure from the more bombastic nature of these quick PR videos. And …
Out of all the Pixar movies, Cars was easily my least favourite. It just didn’t appeal to me at all. Know what it did do though? Sell a lot of lunchboxes and backpacks, that’s what. And with Pixar’s purse string holders, Disney, never ones to say no to a merchandising opportunity, we soon got not only a Cars sequel, but also a Pixar-less …

Directed by Mark …
Another day, another movie expecting us to believe that Keanu Reeves knows martial arts. Specifically in the case of 47 Ronin, that he knows which end of the pointy samurai sword goes into the evil dragon lady. We’ve had a number of trailers already for the fantasy-samurai epic, which co-stars The Wolverine‘s Hiroyuki Sanada, but this is Hollywood so of course …
Mark Strong is one of those actors who gives a – pardon the painfully obvious pun – strong performance no matter what pig swill of a film he currently finds himself in, and thus his name on a banner will always get my attention. The same goes for Brian Cox. Which is why despite the fact that their latest film, Mindscape (which …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
