It’s a kind of magic. A Doctor Strange film is the kind of movie that I’ve been waiting for, for ages. Magic, mysticism and a whole new set of powers which could translate perfectly onto the big screen. The thing is, the eye of Agamotto and the crimson bands of Cyttorak are rather weird spells, even when you have a …
The internet is an amazing place (it’s also a creepy place where grown men pretend to be teenage girls, but enough about Darryn). It has given fledgeling filmmakers exposure like never before through online various online “studios”. One of the bigger studios, Machinima, was very recently given a massive $18 million cash boost by none other than Warner Bros to …

We’ve already seen a couple trailers and clips – a few of them Red Band – for David Ayer’s Sabotage, but they have mainly focused on the film’s explosive violence, usually perpetrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s because he has a thing for explosive violence (see major movie releases 1982 to present). But the guy is also (mostly) human, and so we …
One of my favourite animated films of recent history, has to be Hotel Transylvania. Funny, well animated and overall damn good fun, it’s the kind of movie that I’d love to see a sequel squeezed out of.
