Game of Thrones, HBO’s smash hit adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy epic, is filled with familial drama, political intrigue, engaging characters, fantastic world-building, sexual appeal and no shortage of shocking violence or jawdropping plot twists.

No, he didn’t bribe studio execs with narcotics (though that is …

I have no doubt that Bruce Lee died well before his prime. He only headlined four movies – The Big Boss, The Way Of The Dragon, Enter The Dragon and the posthumous Game Of Death.

And that something else is essentially modernising their classic animated films by giving those properties a live-action remake. Maleficent got the ball rolling, Cinderella ran away from that ball with a ton of cash and now it looks like Disney’s mega-popular …
