Training Day, directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by David Ayer (Fury), is a damn good movie.

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.

Discussing the right actors to play popular comic book characters is enough to get any comic book geek fired up in opinion. There is always regular debate over who plays the better Superman or Batman or Spider-Man (in my opinion, I’m still waiting for the right one) or even Hulk (it’s Eric Bana – just kidding). One comic book movie …
I loved the Harry Potter franchise, loved it more than Ron Weasley loved Every Flavored Beans even, the books are a fantastic read and I re-watch the movies from time to time. J.K. 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 …
