In what is sure to be a punishment joyous occasion to review a movie for Trevor, a new trailer for director Kenneth Branagh’s live-action Cinderella has just been released, which boasts a rather wicked stepmother bringing back childhood memories. Cate Blanchett plays the overly-evil mother in a movie that I am sure will charm many and not just because the rather beautiful Lily James (Downton …
Yes, I am a heterosexual, 34-year old, happily married man. And yes, I enjoyed Pitch Perfect. I may not be the normal target audience for a cutesy all-girl a capella comedy, but the 2012 flick proved that with an infectiously fun tone, a bunch of talented ladies and a healthy helping of snark, you can not just break down some preconceptions, but …
2015 is the year of the spy. The Kingsman, Mission Impossible 5, a new James Bond and now The Man From U.N.C.L.E are all making covert espionage ops the hot new trend at the box office. But there’s something that I’m digging about The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Maybe it’s Henry Cavill being surprisingly charming as secret CIA agent Solo, while Armie …
While video game movie adaptations have a record spottier that 1001 Dalmations, I will admit that that I will happily watch any trailer that starts off with the rock-tastic guitar riff of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child”. So that’s already one tick in the win column for Hitman: Agent 47, a second go-around at adapting the adventures of everybody’s favourite bald, bespoked badass that isn’t …

It’s merely resting, waiting for a new director with a new vision to come along and revive it. One such director? Neil “District 9” Blomkamp. Clearly interested in one day putting his own spin on the franchise, …
All praise show-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould for delivering again! I have been waiting in antici… pation for the prequel to AMC’s award-winning Breaking Bad, a show that made being bald cool, and apparently it delivered, big time. Better Call Saul launched this past Sunday and it did so as the highest-rated show for a cable network, eva! The new series pulled in …
While the prospect of watching Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman go medieval on some fools is an enticing one, I wouldn’t get too excited yet about upcoming sword-swinging actioner Last Knights. Completed by Japanese filmmaker Kazuaki Kiriya (The Legend of Goemon) back in 2012 already, it appears that this Korean-funded film has just been sitting on the shelf somewhere for the last two years …
