Things have been quiet on the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past lately. The Bryan Singer directed sequel to the superb X-Men First Class is looking to bridge the divide between two X-Men universes, as well as that wretched Brett Ratner directed X-Men 3 film. The addition of Peter “Game of thrones” Dinklage to the main cast has also …

Okay, this is going to sound weird. According to just about everything I’ve read online from people who were fortunate enough to see I Declare War, a highly imaginative new coming of age indie flick, during its run on the festival circuit earlier in the year, I have to wholeheartedly recommend that everybody sees it.
