Is it time for a second close-up with Zoolander 2?
I can’t believe it’s already been fourteen years since we followed the antics of Zoolander in a movie that has become a cult classic. We can thank Justin Theroux for his writing contributions for that and for the totally awesome (if you haven’t seen it, you’ve gone full retard) Tropic Thunder. So where is Zoolander 2 you might ask? Well …
BOND 24 updates! Massive rewrites, Sam Smith to sing theme, Lea Seydoux to star?
The last major piece of news we had heard about the next James Bond film was that franchise regulars Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (who co-penned The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Die and Casino Royale) had been brought in to punch up the joke factor in Skyfall writer John Logan’s script. But it seems the joke’s on us, as the Daily Mail is …
Arnold turns to dark drama in the zombie-themed MAGGIE

Analeigh Tipton (Warm Bodies) stars as Megan who, after breaking up with her fiancé, is encouraged by her friends to get her stagnating love life back on track by having a random …
Midweek Mouth-Off: Remembering Robin Williams
As a child of the ‘90s, Robin Williams dominated my movie watching, from Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire and Jumanji to voicing characters in Aladdin and FernGully. When I was old enough, I got to see Good Morning, Vietnam, The Birdcage and Good Will Hunting. To my shame, I haven’t seen Dead Poets Society yet, but Death to Smoochy remains one of …
These two new trailers for THE GUEST will do nothing bad
I am yet to watch BBC’s Downton Abbey, but I keep hearing really good things about it. I am yet to watch 2013 indie horror You’re Next, but I keep hearing good things about it. What do these two things have to do with this article about some trailers for a movie called The Guest? Well, said movie stars Downton Abbey‘s Dan Stevens and …
