Say what you want about Michael Bay but his movies can be a lot of fun, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – which Bay produced, and was directed by his protege Jonathan Liebesmann – was certainly that. Fast forward two years later and the time is nearly here for the sequel. So far we have already been treated to teasers …

Sometimes fiction is best viewed when it mimics something that we can relate to in the real world and it seems the second season of Mr Robot might be headed this way much as the first season did, though apparently it wasn’t by intention. It is reported by Mr Robot show runner Sam Esmail at SWSX  that the second season …

Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have given us arguably one of the best shows ever to grace a TV screen and probably my favourite show of all time in Breaking Bad.

So I guess we should be happy or something, but who cares about beauty contests anyway? Seriously, it’s others men’s wives – …

Ben-Hur, director William Wylar’s epic 1959 historical drama starring Charlton Heston, is one of the greatest movies ever made. Its eleven Oscars and indelible place in cinematic history stand as testament to this fact. Call me cynical, but I don’t think the new remake* from the guy who made Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is quite going to match those heights. Just two days …
