Confession time: I’m not the biggest fan of the Hellboy movies. I think the casting of Ron Perlman as the demon who eschews his heritage to become a hero is perfect, and I absolutely love how filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro managed to translate the mythology of Mike Mignola’s comic book to the screen so incredibly well with that amazing visual …
It’s amazing what a little world-rearranging betrayal does. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started out decent – not great, just decent – but then along came a HYDRA and everything changed.

The film tells the tale of the development of the best-selling video game franchise ‘Grand Theft Auto’ by British brothers Sam and Dean Houser. It stars Daniel Radcliffe and Ian Keir Attard as the aforementioned brothers, and Bill Paxton as the …
It has often been said that death-metal is the best metal, and therefore the best music genre around. And anyone who disagrees with that is probably a fan of other musical persons who shall not be named. And when it comes to accurately capturing the power of METAL, I think Deathgasm may be onto something here. Because demons and stuff. METAL! Metal-thrashing …
You would think that after John Wick, people would know better than to knock on Keanu Reeves’ door at night, especially after he was holding a cute dog just before that.
