As I got past the lines of waiting people to go in I wanted to shout ‘Don’t do it! Don’t waste your brain! At the very …
Not content to own the box office with Marvel and Star Wars blockbusters, Disney is still furiously working to bring many of their classic animated children’s tales to the big screen in live-action form. Following the success of 2014’s Maleficent, the origin story of Sleeping Beauty’s villainous antagonist, another such origin story is in the works – namely Cruella de …
Well it would appear I am in the wrong business. I clearly should be making movies and not watching them. 2015 has been a year of big sequel blockbusters which made big loads of cash for their studios – in particular Universal and Disney, who Variety reports have both had record returns for 2015: Universal finished the year with $6.89 …
