If there’s one role that Robert de Niro is easily associated with, it’s that of a gangster. A Mafioso to be exact. A made man in that genre, de Niro has moved on to other roles in the decades since he popped up in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, but it’s always welcome to see him back in a gangster role. Except …
Wreck-It Ralph is a very touchy subject around here. Mention the critically acclaimed animated movie – as well as the fact that Brave beat it at the Oscars – around these parts, and Darryn goes all HULK SMASH!

Maybe it was Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen, with her head like Nicki Minaj’s backside, or maybe Johnny Depp’s Hatter, that looked …
Whether you like or hate him, you’ve got to admit that Christopher Nolan knows how to make a good looking film, with a decent story to boot. Plot holes be damned! With Batman behind him, and Superman hitting cinemas soon, Nolan is now once again tackling his own project in the form of Interstellar. And he’ll have some familiar company …
I’ve been aware of Birdman for a couple of months ago, but I never really paid it any attention. It’s a story that has been done before by a different Batman, but what the hell, I have a soft spot for the star of this flick, Michael Keaton. In it, he’s a washed up former superhero who is attempting to …
