So apparently, my recent lapse in only watching Doctor Who has led me to miss out on a great show. About Vikings. According to James Francis, not only does it have a gripping storyline, it’s about as historically accurate as an Asterix book as well. Which is something I kinda dig, meaning that I’ll be looking to grab the DVD …

“WHERE’S MY ELEPHANT?!” Flying knee to the medulla oblongata. That right there is the entire plot to Tom Yung Goong aka The Protector. And I loved it – and so did a bunch of you guys as well – because really, what further excuse do you need to watch Tony Jaa turn his limbs into weapons of mass destruction at the expense of some …

Well, after Darryn was scraping the bottom of the barrel for those b-rated monsters that we love to hate, I thought I’d bring you guys a few familiar faces from our nightmares over the past few years. While this is by no means a complete list, here they are, in no particular order! Last Updated: August 1, 2013

Ah, the 1970s. Emerging technology, muscle cars and bad haircuts. And bell bottom pants. American Hustle has been floating around now for a couple of months, as the follow up work from director David O Russell, which has him teaming up again with his Silver Lining Playbooks stars Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

Pacific Rim is a great film, with some truly massive visual innovations, if you’ve read Lourens’ review of the live action anime flick. It’s a film which has fans, lovers and has quickly become a cult sensation. So naturally, it’s the kind of movie which has bombed at the North American box office. The thing is, failing in that territory …

A couple days ago, we saw a demon crawl out of a man’s butt. Now there aren’t too many ways that you can top that WTF-tastic premise, but it looks like we’re going to give it a try with director E.L. Katz’s Cheap Thrills, a twisted and depraved – and according to the audience at SXSW Midnight where it initially screened, bloody …

Could it be that we’re seeing a new trend in British romantic-comedies: the gimmicky rom-com? I Give It a Year was like the “anti-rom-com rom-com”, and now Richard “Love Actually” Curtis is bringing us the “time-travelling rom-com” with About Time.
