I’m not the biggest Tim Burton fan around here, that honour belongs to Lourens, but even he would have to admit that there was something just a bit off about Burton’s adaptation of classic children’s tale Alice in Wonderland. Maybe it was Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen, with her head like Nicki Minaj’s backside, or maybe Johnny Depp’s Hatter, that looked …
Whether you like or hate him, you’ve got to admit that Christopher Nolan knows how to make a good looking film, with a decent story to boot. Plot holes be damned!

It’s just like The Avengers, but only with more courtroom drama and sexual tension and less punching and people …
According to all those lawsuits against me, I know a thing or two about hiding in closets and then scaring the almighty bejeezus out of unsuspecting children. But clearly I’m just a rank amateur when it comes to children scaring when compared to Mike and Sully from Disney-Pixar’s Monsters Inc. But those guys weren’t always the top dog monsters around, they …

Ian McKellen once said that if he had seen Bad Taste instead of Heavenly Creatures, he wouldn’t have starred in Lord Of The Rings. In fact, it is hard to imagine that the same director was responsible for both. Fans are lucky that Peter Jackson is so versatile. Else Frodo would have stumbled around with a sledgehammer lodged in his …
