As soon as the credits rolled on the fourth Indiana Jones film, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, two things happened: the internet erupted into people shouting about nuked fridges, CGI gophers and Shia Lebeouf thinking he’s a monkey; and other people – including the film’s creators – began counting down to when the next movie will happen. We’ve heard …
THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING! After very nearly stealing the show at Comic-Con a few weeks back, I’ve been chomping at the bit to lay my eyeballs on some new footage from Loki’s- oops, sorry, I mean Thor’s new movie (though we all know who the real star is, right?).

I’m starting to think that I may have been born in the wrong century. Because in the future, kids get to relive the best bits from Starship Troopers, only with even better technology. Children are the future, a thought that I’ve always feared (Look at the healthy young buggers, strutting on my lawn), but they’re all that stands between mankind …
The Expendables is pretty much the retirement home of older action movie stars. The first two films have seen more 1980s nostalgia appear on the big screen than a massive sale on hair scrunchies and leg warmers to the backing track of Duran Duran, as Sly Stallone recruited plenty of stars for his flicks. Bruce Willis has appeared in two …
