Viva la resistance, eat cake and give it to the peasants! While my ideas for Les Miserables song additions most likely won’t make the final cut of that film, at least audiences can look forward to some more familiar songs and a stunning art direction from director Tom Hooper. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz recently hit the set to take photos …
Prometheus was easily one of the most divisive movies of the year. I thought director Ridley Scott produced a very well made movie from a technical perspective, unfortunately the script contracted a rather acute case of the stupids. Screenwriter Damon Lindelof appeared to be the carrier monkey that brought the dunderheaded infection, but he was actually just working off a …
The Goon is pretty much one of the weirdest, yet incredible comics on stands today, as it combines gangsters, psychos and the supernatural with some zombie-bashing action. What more could you want? How about a movie based on that? Well Hollywood isn’t too sure on whether or not it should invest some cash in such a project. David Fincher is though, and …
With all the talk of returning Jedi’s, time travelling hitmen and scientists allergic to sidestepping over the last couple of months, there’s another sci-fi movie announced earlier in the year that just completely slipped under the radar.

Armed with that multifunction blade, chewing gum, a shoestring and some potting soil, that man could assemble a hydrogen bomb and use the leftover parts for an espresso machine. And now director …
Confession: I don’t drink. Not because of legal/religious/stupid bets, but mostly because alcohol tastes like fiery goat piss going down my gullet. Still, while I might be the abstaining kind of guy, watching other people get drunk and get up to all sorts of shenanigans, never gets old for me. And you can bet your bottle of Southern Comfort that …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
