These two new trailers for THE BOXTROLLS are so square, but we don't care!
Laika may not be a name as well known as Pixar/Disney or Dreamworks, but over the last couple years, they produced Coraline and Paranorman, two of my favourite animated movies. And by animated, I mean by by hand, as they prefer to use stop-motion instead of CGI because that’s just how they roll. Their latest effort, The Boxtrolls, seems to be following their previous trend …
This trailer for AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO is dead in the air!
When you’re in a plane, trapped in a circle of death created by some angry, belching volcanoes, you know who you want to have next to you? Superman. Hopefully, it’s not a has-been Superman most famous for introducing the world to a desperate housewife. Unfortunately if you’re in Airplane vs Volcano, the latest from shlockbuster studio Asylum, that’s all you’re going …

Prepare to have an ARROW trailer driven through your skull
I’ve got a little confession to make: I haven’t seen a single episode of Arrow yet. My biggest fear, was that the show would be another Smallville, something that I truly hated. And for the first few episodes, those fears of mine seemed to be validated. But the more I hear of the show, the more I hear that it …
Will Forte talks MACGRUBER 2
MACGRUBER! Some hated it, but I absolutely adored Will Forte as the throat-rippiest of all heroes, the very-not MacGuyver MacGruber in 2010. Violent, weird and walking around distracting audiences with a celery stick up its ass, the movie was a perfect riff on mullets, gadgets and a villain that truly had the last laugh in the end. I’ve been aching …
Top List Thursday – Top ten most memorable comic book adaptations that almost happened
With Joel Silver/Terry Gilliam and Zack Snyder recently taking turns to throw each other’s adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen under the proverbial bus, there’s been a lot of talk of what could have been in the comic book adaptation. Inspired by that, I thought I’d take a look at 10 other comic book adaptations – some good, some bad and some nuttier …
Writer John Logan talks BOND 24; says first draft is nearly done
In life, the only certainties are death, taxes and James Bond sequels. Overall, it’s one hell of a franchise, with the 23 various films being essential viewing for any species of hominid that can walk upright and operate a cellphone. A new film is on the way, and it’s currently being scripted by John Logan, who is pulling solo duties …
