Monday’s international box office report saw Disney’s highly acclaimed Big Hero 6 booted off the top spot, only to be replaced by… Dumb and Dumber To. I would like to think that cinema has matured and outgrown the kind of humour that we had twenty years ago, and a sequel to Dumb and Dumber was just… unnecessary. Critics haven’t exactly …
I’ve been a fan of Ewan McGregor’s ever since I first met him and his condom in Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting. Him being the only consistently good part of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy certainly didn’t diminish his stock. As such, I was always going to be interested in watching Son of a Gun, especially after I heard that Brenton Thwaites and Alicia Vickander – two of …
Director Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot is not exactly a nice topic among comic book geeks at the moment. Some die-hard fans were already incensed with the casting of Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, but that deviation from the source was nothing when compared against Toby Kebbell’s recent revelation that his “Doctor Doom” is not the high-tech armour wearing, magic …

Arnold Schwarzenegger must like big butts, because he cannot lie. When he told us he would be back all those years ago, he wasn’t kidding. The Governator’s return to the world of movies may not have been as successful (at least commercially) as he may have hoped, but those were all with new movies and not the characters that made …
I’ve been very intrigued by Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, but that’s just because I’m always intrigued by anything Vaughn does. Especially when what he’s doing involves a comic book adaptation. Vaughn has already struck comic book gold thrice previously with Stardust, X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass. The latter is an adaptation of acclaimed writer Mark Millar’s comic book, and now Vaughn is once again …
I love movies that are whack, movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so it is with great glee that I present to you a trailer for the upcoming Inherent Vice, a mix of cops, kidnapping plots of billionaire boyfriends, drugs, and a very different looking Joaquin Phoenix. The film’s directer Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights) also shot this trailer …
A new Jurassic Park movie means a whole new section of resurrected dinosaurs for tourists to gawp at. But why go with dinos that actually existed? Why not use some of that DNA, splice the hell out of it and introduce some new traits in order to create bigger and badder dinos in order to attract visitors. That’s pretty much …
