There aren’t too many horror films out there that an boast a successful remake. Very, very few indeed. But so far, the reboot of the Stephen King classic, Carrie, seems to be shaping up nicely. It’s got a solid cast lined up, new additions, and a plot that the lead actress herself says will blow your mind like a psychokinetic rage-bender. Last …

Lets face facts. Guns and lasers aren’t the most civilised way to engage in battle. We’ve lost our honour as we progressed through society, which is something that we seek to reclaim today, with the mighty sword. We’ve got two veterans lined up today, itching to test their metal (All the puns!) against one another, as we pit the supernatural …

You’re only great when you’re dead, and that goes double for Steve Jobs, who has somehow managed to still be relevant, despite the fact that he has six feet of dirt on top of him right now.

I am am unabashed Hans Zimmer fanboy. The man is a musical deity who regularly turns this butch and bearded man into a blubbering mess with just a single note of a shakuhachi (The Last Samurai) or transforms even the most mundane of activities into an edge of your seat thriller (Inception).
