By now, I think we can all agree that Fantastic Four is a terrible, terrible movie. Whatever the reason behind it, 2015’s Fantastic Four will go down in history as the most expensive reason ever to retain comic book rights by a studio. And the thing is, Fantastic Four did not have to be the kind of movie. It could …
It’s an unfortunate truth in life that whenever you have to wait ages for something, building up anticipation the entire time, it usually ends up sucking the big fat one. But I’ll be damned if Ash vs Evil Dead doesn’t look just plain… groovy! Hail to the king, baby! We’ve already had our first brilliantly gory and funny look at …
The mid to late 1990s were ruled by the British. The Spice Girls, Oasis and some other bands that I’ve forgotten about all took to the charts, and conquered it in a manner that made American groups dump their pants in the Boston harbour. But keeping those pop stars in check, was a tall order. And when you’re in charge …
Before Vin Diesel starting defying the laws of physics in a car, he was busy… well, defying the laws of physics in a car. And also on a motorcycle. And with a snowboard. And practically any other crazy mode of transport as extreme sports star turned secret agent Xander Cage in 2002’s admittedly rather middling xXx. Despite lukewarm reviews, Diesel …

It’s not that I found this latest sequel/reboot/rebooquel to be exceptional or anything – it’s fun and definitely better than the last two films, but still pretty flawed – but rather because the completionist in me just has a disdain for unresolved questions in movies. And boy, did Terminator Genisys leave …

You get the dystopian future stuff (Akira, Equilibrium, 1984), the Machine Dawn (Terminator, The Matrix), Extinction (Planet of the Apes), Disease (28 Days Later) and Invasion (Oblivion). But the image it conjures today is inevitably batsh** biker hell-hole, where we are all shanking each other for the last bottle …
UPDATE: IT’S FIXED! YAY! PRAISE THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! They say “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Well, it’s definitely broke, and we’re desperately trying to fix it! It would appear that some security updates on our hosting server has completely broken our image database, hence why all the featured images for articles are not displaying. This means that images …
Supergirl’s extended first trailer was… divisive… to say the least, although the subsequently leaked (or “leaked”) pilot seemed to get a better overall reception. Some people enjoyed the fresh take on the superhero genre while others complained about a lack of Superman and talked seriously about canon like there was a crisis on finite Earth; and the elephant in the …
