Quick, name something that all films based on Marvel comics have in common. No, it’s not the shameless scenes that appear after the credits to give hope for a sequel, but Stan Lee, a legendary figure in the industry that helped bring such characters to life alongside other professionals such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, back in the legendary …
If there’s anything that greases the wheels of the movie making machine, it’s rumour. It seems not a day goes by without some wild, crazy claim being made about a popular movie. Hell, just the other day I read that Stan Lee is going to be doing a cameo in The Dark Knight Rises. See what I mean? Absurd. But …
Remember the year 1984? I don’t because I hadn’t popped into existence yet, but for a lot of people, it was the year that proved George Orwell wrong, as the world had not become an oppressive dictatorship yet. Unless you lived on the eastern side of Germany, but that’s besides the point. While I set a personal record of two …
I’m pretty sure that the Avengers marketing machine wears ripped purple pants because there’s just no stopping this behemoth. It seems like every few days something new gets thrown our way, although not always with the best results I might add.

A few years back, Oren “steady on the camera” Peli hit it big with Paranormal Activity, a small film that made big waves in the industry with his unique take on the horror genre. And now he’s back, with a much slicker, shakier-camera styled film, that takes viewers inside the abandoned Chernobyl plant and its surroundings. Did I say abandoned? …
I won’t mince words here, there’s a lot to hate about Star Wars. From Ewoks to catching Darth Sidious as he steps out of the shower, not everything in the franchise is pure gold. But one aspect that never fails to impress are lightsabers. They’re laser swords, they’re awesome and they are a class of weapon that symbolise nobility, elegance …
