I enjoyed the first Rush Hour movie, it was a fun wild ride with good doses of action and comedy. The sequels however, I found flat, uninspiring, full of racial stereotyping and reliant on the same gags from the original movie. However, despite my concerns, the movies were all still financially successful and so it makes sense that CBS is …
The Hateful Eight opens locally in little over two weeks, but I’m still not sure if I’m going to watch it. There was a time when a Quentin Tarantino movie was an automatic reason to rush to the big movie house. But I’m not sold on this new film’s concept: a single room thriller with lots of talking.

Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Does whatever a spider can! And apparently what that is is get rebooted every couple of years. We’ve already seen two different versions of the wallcrawler on our screens – four if you count the cheesy-bad 1977 made-for-TV movie and the bonkers Japanese Spiderman (he has a giant mech named Leopardon for no reason at all!) – but …

Even if you exclude all the superhero/villain cameos, Avengers: Age of Ultron still boasted 12 major characters. And despite only one hero’s name in the title, Captain America: Civil War is pretty much Avengers 2.5 as it boast just about …
So way back on December 21, 1970 the biggest rock star on the planet, Elvis Presley, initiates a meeting with then President of The United States Of America, Richard Nixon. His motivation for arranging this meeting? Elvis wants Nixon to make him a Federal Agent At Large. No, really. Elvis seriously considers himself Agent material and Nixon is looking for …
11.22.63 – or more descriptively, the 22 November 1963 – lives on in American history as the day that President John F Kennedy was assassinated, and it is one of those events that had so much controversy and conspiracy theories around it that Hollywood has never lost its fascination with it. And it’s about to get another chance to be …
