Technically, if you’re going to dress up as a bat and fight crime, you’re going to need more than just gadgets, muscles and cool cars to get you through a night. You’re going to need to channel some anger out of your ulcers, and into your fists when you hit the streets of Gotham. And that’s an idea that Batman …
Video-on-demand and streaming services for TV and movies is the way of the future. The old way of being told what you can watch and when you can watch it is going the way of the dinosaur, with streaming services giving flexibility, accessibility, and badly needed affordability.

Greengrass on the other hand, claimed to be out of ideas. Well stand back, because …
As much as I enjoy Blade and appreciate it for kickstarting the comic book movie adaptation glut (sorry, X-Men, but it’s true), I’ve always held its sequel in much higher esteem, thanks to just how creatively insane and unexpected some of its ideas were. And most of that (pun intended) batshit crazy vampire action was the result of Guillermo Del Toro, the acclaimed Mexican …
Until August, The Avengers had been my favourite film out of the Marvel Movie gate. That 2012 flick was just the culmination of years of work, paying off handsomely. And then came the Guardians Of The Galaxy last month, a film which in many ways trumped the Avengers for me. I’m not counting Joss Whedon and his crew out yet …
