What is it with Young Adult Sci-Fi Action Movies having overly long titles that have to use a colon? The Divergent Series: Insurgent. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. All we need now is a movie based on Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia. That’s right everyone, TWO colons. …
Normally when I come across an interesting short film, I’ll throw it in Extras. We normally don’t do full feature stories on them. But these short films are also normally not as jaw-droppingly good as Leviathan. Created by Ruairi Robinson, an Oscar nominated Irish short film maker and director of last year’s Last Days On Mars (he was also the …
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. That was back in September 2013 though, which means that the wait for its second season (only expected in 2016??!!) has been excruciating. News of the development …

Although now that I think about it the second game in the series was GTA London 1969, so a remake for BBC TV and directed by Guy Ritchie wouldn’t be …
I don’t know about you guys, but I would have loved it if my high school had offered some alternative extra-mural activities. Like markmanship training, swordfighting and kickass 101. Still, I never got to experience any of that, and had to settle for an ordinary life instead. Which is the exact opposite setup of Barely Lethal, as Hailee Steinfeld finds …
There is a laughable irony in the fact that the main narrative thrust of the Divergent franchise is all about doing your own thing and not just fitting into your community’s preconceived definitions of who you’re supposed to be – hell, the giveaway is right there in the title! – and yet Insurgent, the second chapter in this increasingly tiresome …
