I love deep and heartfelt movies, with tender, soul searching plots and endearing characters as much as the next film fan, but every now and again, I just like to watch a man swing a really big axe at another man’s face.

You see, most times, directors have to …
Over the last few weeks you wouldn’t have been able to swing a teenage boy with the proportional strength, speed and agility of a spider up in the internet without hitting at least a couple new set pics for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We’ve seen everything from Jamie Foxx’s nerd to Na’vi transformation to Mary Jane getting her frump on, and …
I don’t know about you guys, but I kinda dig me some dice rolls that revolve around descending into dungeons. That may or may not have dragons in them. While my last game gave my lvl 19 opportunist boosts towards using my companions as meat shields, no amount of dice rolls could wipe the memory of the Dungeons and Dragons movies from …
