Let it not be said that Fifty Shades Of Grey was an unsuccessful movie financially. On a $40 million budget, the film has already grossed over $528 million worldwide. But that’s the equivalent of a flash in the pan. It may have had a massive USA opening of $81 million on its first weekend, but audiences haven’t exactly been flocking …
I’m sort of torn over a remake of The Blob. On the one hand, I kinda feel that the monster has been through enough already in the original 1958 film, it’s 1972 sequel and the underrated 1988 remake. On the other hand, I kind of do want to see what Simon West has planned when he hurls a ton of …
You might recognise those names from a little sci-fi show that nobody watched until after it was cancelled and only then realised it was actually pretty good – Firefly. Maybe because it had a no-name director by the name of Joss Whedon. Yes, I’m still a little bitter about that. But never fear, as the dynamic duo are re-teaming to create …

Disney is moving full steam ahead with bringing its library of classic animated fairy & children’s tales to life. In the last few years the House of the Mouse has brought Alice in Wonderland (directed by Burton) and Maleficent (a spin on Sleeping Beauty) to the big screen in live-action format, Cinderella opens in the US on Friday, and both The Jungle Book …
I’ve got way too much love for the Tron franchise. While the story may be a bonkers version of video game Innerspace, I still regard the films and animated prequel series as phenomenally important in terms of their visual design. Director Joseph Kosinksi and his design team raised the bar for Tron@ Legacy back in 2010. And it looks like …
