British accent. hushed and gravelly voice. Fast cars. immaculately neat business suit. Hoodlums. The police. Yep, that’s pretty much all of the ingredients needed to make something related to The Transporter franchise. The only thing missing? Jason Statham, as we’ve substituted the role of Frank Martin with Ed Skrein this time around. Will it taste the same? Probably, but we’ll …

The breakout first season of hit anime show Attack on Titan aka Shingeki No Kyojin was simply jaw-dropping (also, jaw-ripping off and jaw-punched into red mist), and ended on a very intriguing cliffhanger.

I really enjoyed the Sharknado movies, which is actually a rare thing. Firstly I’m not a big fan of the usual Asylum stuff, which is generally pretty boring. Syfy’s B-movie grind is often also that – far too slow and boring for my taste. The exception has been Sharktopus, though that probably went overboard. Yeah, I’m never happy. At least …
