Walt Disney Animation studios has been doing a stellar job with their last few releases. Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen and Big Hero 6 have all been massive successes and also hugely original. And although I still cringe when I hear the music for Frozen being played, they have certainly up their level to compete with the likes of Pixar in the animation space. …

Rowling did a magnificent job of building a magical world full of wizards, incredible creatures and muggles and the world could not get enough – until there …
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is currently sitting on a worldwide gross of $1.9 billion so far. So how does that compare to the rest of the franchise?
I’m going to say that I’m not a fan of the original Cabin Fever. I’ve spoken before about my dislike for horror films needing to resort to massive amounts of gore to shock audiences rather than scare them and Cabin Fever is certainly one of those movies. You may certainly be closing your eyes while you are watching it, but …
