Every year, Disney SA holds a delicious buffet stocked with some of the most scrumptious danishes, amazing smoked salmon and capers, delicious quiches and much more. Okay, so maybe the buffet is only what greets us media folks lucky enough to attend Disney SA’s Annual Showcase, but man, what a spread! The actual showcase though is a small bit of …
I’ve never seen the original Troll, only its awfully good and utterly unrelated sequel. Troll 2 is better known these days, mainly because it is one of the worst films ever made.

Whatever the heck you want to call it, there’s no doubt now that it’s in full swing. Fresh off the back of an Oscar nominated meta-performance in Birdman, Keaton now leads a stellar cast that includes Mark …
Despite the fact that I’m still enjoying the second season of HBO’s True Detective, there’s no denying the fact the show isn’t quite as good now as the absolutely spellbinding first season. And a huge reason for that regression is undoubtedly the loss of auteur Cary Fukunaga, who had helmed all of season one’s episodes. Fukunaga stated that he didn’t …
