Thanks to looks, personality or general demeanour, actors can very easily be typecast in certain roles. Owen Wilson makes the perfect beach bum, Michael Cera is always the awkward indie teen and Christopher Lee can’t be anything but a crazy supervillain. But what about when movies get weirdly specific with their typecasting? Sean Bean is notorious for (almost) always dying …

To paraphrase a certain arrow-shooting vigilante: I have failed this movie blog. It’s sort of my job to keep you guys informed of all the major movies and yet yesterday was the very first time I had ever even heard of The Big Short.  You would definitely not think that to be the case for a true life drama surrounding …

Despite all the rumours, leaked set pics, official images, character descriptions, trailers, merchandising and more, there’s still a lot we don’t know about Star Wars: The Force Awakens (this is a JJ Abrams movie, after all). And one of those unknowns is definitely Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma, one of the villainous First Order’s military leaders. For starters, we had already …

Remember how Jason Statham talked trash about the Avengers a few moths ago saying that his grandmother could do it? Here’s a refresher: “A lot of the modern sort of action movies I see, you know, Marvel comic sort of things, I just think, any guy can do it. I have no ambition. I mean, I could take my grandma …

Contrary to what Cadillacs And Dinosaurs taught us as kids, I doubt that we’d be rolling around in classic muscle cars and getting into wacky hijinks every week. Because a rat problem is nothing compared to a slight T-Rex …

Believe it or not, but PE finally has an IMAX cinema. A proper, honest-to-your-deity venue for massive movies. And that’s something that I’m interested in, because I’ve never watched an IMAX movie. And dammit, I want the IMAX experience. I want a screen so big that it looks like it belongs to a section of the Great Wall of China. …

I just don’t understand the whole foodie craze, give me simple fare like a decent steak-egg-and-chips (well done, which isn’t the same as burnt Nick), a traditional railway dinner, or even a rat-onna-stick and I’m happy. Celebrity chefs, weird and wonderful ingredients, and artful presentation however are the flavour of the day in Burnt – the upcoming comedy-drama starring Bradley …

While watching The Flash, there probably wasn’t a week that went by where I was not gobsmacked with the incredibly high level of visual effects and costume design that they were regularly producing on a TV show budget. Some of the stuff they did really rivaled the type of work you would see in a big budget Hollywood blockbuster. But …
