John Hurt is a badass Doctor Who in these new screens for THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR
You know, for a show that hasn’t produced a trailer yet, I’m ridiculously excited for the next Doctor Who special, The Day of the Doctor.

This new international trailer for JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT is about to misbehave
We’re so used to being bombarded with teaser posters for teaser trailers for exclusive sneak peek trailers months before a film’s release, that it was weird that Paramount left it this late to get the promo ball rolling on Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, the latest film featuring Tom Clancy’s famous literary character. But now it’s full steam ahead on the Chris …

The ANT-MAN shortlist is down to two actors
Out of all the upcoming Marvel films, I think Ant-Man is the flick that I’m genuinely excited for. It’s got an under-appreciated hero in the form of the amazing Ant-Man and a great director on board, the one and only Edgar Wright. What the film doesn’t have though, is a lead sctor. Expect that to be sorted soon, as the …
Breaking Bad: Sharknado!

Think along the lines of a very poor, amateurish, wannabe imitation of Mystery Science Theater 3000. A means to give scene-by-scene thoughts and impressions of some really bad B-grade schlockfest that no-one else wants to watch but …
