Last year, a really cool fan-created “modern trailer” for cheesy 80’s sci-fi classic The Last Starfighter popped up online. The cult-favourite flick about a video gamer who gets drafted by an alien to fight in an interstellar war has garnered many fans over the years, and after seeing that trailer many of them – including some Hollywood A-listers like Seth …
HBO’s upcoming TV-series remake of the classic 1973 sci-fi western Westworld is something I’m eagerly anticipating as it combines my favourite genre – sci-fi – with my childhood favourite – westerns. During the Person of Interest panel show runner of both Person of Interest and Westworld, Jonathan Nolan, surprised everyone by releasing some teaser footage. Unfortunately unlike some of the …
The year 2015 is certainly looking to be an awesome year for comic geeks. From the highly successful Avengers: Age of Ultron to what I think is going to be a smash hit in Ant-Man, they have been offered some huge blockbusters.

Due to Dick’s layered storytelling and big ideas though, several of his works have often been thought of as unfilmable and …
We’ve still got quite a few big movies to look forward to for the rest of 2015. If you caught James’ article last week predicting the rest of the 2015 blockbusters, there are some seriously big movies coming soon. The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with Ant-Man, The Hunger Games franchise concludes with Mockingjay: Part 2 and Star Wars gets a …
Out of the entire cast of Lost, the one person who I was convinced would be the one to break out on the big screen was Josh Holloway. Rugged good looks, tons of sarcastic wit, oozing charm and very physically capable – it’s like he was custom-built in a factory for Hollywood. Instead, Holloway ended up headlining one interesting but …
