Today I learned two things. Firstly, fans, like myself, of Cinemax’s brilliantly balls-to-the-wall cops and robbers (pretending to be cops) drama Banshee are colloquially referred to as “fanshees”. This rather silly name makes me smile. And what immediately wipes that smile off my face is the second thing I learned: The fourth and final season of Banshee has been delayed …
SPOILER WARNING: This post is the first of several this week that will be breaking down, explaining, examining and discussing several different plot points in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and attempting to answer the mysteries they’ve brought up. So if you haven’t watched the movie yet – and why the heck not?! – then you should back out of …
So our site alive, ALIVE! And thank goodness too. We apologize of the inconvenience caused but all seems good now! Our sister site Lazygamer.net saved our bacon by posting this competition to win one of two awesome In the Heart of the Sea hampers, and as it is now the 21st I can draw the winners! But before that, let’s …
It appears that we counted our banthas before they were hatched. And yes, I know banthas aren’t hatched, but I have a feeling that the folks over at Lucasfilm are too busy ogling their bank balances right now to care about my inaccurate metaphors! As we reported yesterday, Star Wars: The Force Awakens made a mountain of money in its …
Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …
If you just read that headline above and went “Wait, what?!”, then you’ll be happy to know that you’re not alone in your incredulity. Not only did I also have no idea they were making a Knight Rider movie, I also have zero idea why they would want to. The original 1980’s Knight Rider TV series occupies a very fond …
How’s that famous quote go? “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and it doesn’t look they’re going to be silenced any time soon!”. Well, not quite, but I have a feeling that that’s what it should be as Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened last week (on Wednesday …
It may sound ridiculous, but I think Terry Gilliam should ask Vin Diesel for some filmmaking tips. While Gilliam has infamously been struggling for decades to get some of his film projects made, Diesel just keeps pulling off the impossible. First he helped turn a pretty average fast car action series into one of the biggest franchises in movie history, …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
