It’s no secret that I happen to be a huge fan of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series, which outranks even the core films in my humble Sith Lord opinion. Over six seasons, that show evolved from fun Saturday morning fun into high-budget action with impressive storylines that were layered and deep. With the Clone Wars over, it’s time …
An amazing wallcrawler swung into cinemas this week, with everyone hedging bets at 2:1 that Spidey would conquer the box office. And that he did, as the ol’ webhead easily took the first spot. The question though, was if this sequel could at least spin some more cash out of the franchise when compared to the moderate opening of the …
I bet those scientists around the world have listened to our local eggheads. You see, while Godzilla may be a force of nature that will make famous landmark insurance rates around the world skyrocket, we’ve dealt with such monsters before. Hell, not even the atomic breath and size 1 million paws of the big G can stop a determined Parktown …
I first encountered Mads Mikkelsen back in 2004 in Antoine Fuqua’s King Arthur. He played the sword-swinging knight Tristan, who along with Ray Winstone’s Bors were the only remarkable characters in a rather unremarkable movie. With the exception of his bloody eyed turn as Bond villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale and his current deliciously dark run as Hannibal Lecter on NBC’s Hannibal, Mikkelsen …

Clearly the folks at Paramount Pictures and Skydance Pictures have …

There are many films that are stuck in lengthy developments for ages. Director Richard Linklater’s latest film, Boyhood, is not one of them, despite taking more than a decade to make it to the screen. That’s because this is very unique in that Linklater intended for it to take this long. Starting in 2006, Linklater cast the then six-year old Ellar …
This may be a tad hyperbolic, but I’m pretty sure that Mad Max: Fury Road has been in production since before my people were legally allowed to vote. After numerous reshoots and budget over-runs etc, George Miller’s fourth Mad Max tale – with Tom Hardy now stepping into Mel Gibson’s post apocalyptic shoes – wrapped principal photography last year already, and still we have nothing …
