Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, M. Night Shyamalan was actually the hottest new filmmaker in Hollywood, and not just a running gag on this site where we intentionally come up with with the weirdest variations of his name (M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong and M. Night Lamb Shwarma were always my favourites). And in this fabled, mythical time …
I’m a huge fan of the Wachowski’s work, have been ever since The Matrix. Yes, I even own Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas on Blu Ray and not in an ironic way.

And certainly, I get why some movies can’t work without certain special effects which can adequately create massive setpieces at a fraction of the cost. And when you’re going bigger, special effects may be better. But when you’re …
Bigger, bolder and meaner. No, I’m not talking about Nick after I’ve stolen his Friday muffins, I’m talking about the real star of Jurassic World. I’m talking about the Indominus Rex, an unholy fusion of 65 million years worth of evolved fury and marketing. Jurassic World’s big bad ain’t nothing to fool with, as the film will introduce the hybrid …
In the wake of Kervyn’s announcement yesterday regarding The Extras posts, I’ve also decided to make a little change on the Movies Out Today posts. Instead of struggling to come up with headlines on a weekly basis (which is something that the other guys know I am seriously bad at), I’ve decided to just add a date to the headline. The …
