Nowadays, you can’t go week with one of the dreaded R’s showing up, and no I’m not talking about annoying Rihanna song’s. I’m talking reboots, remakes, recombobulations or whatever the cool kids are calling it these days. And since the 1980’s barrel has already officially been scraped clean thanks to Sony, the studio is seemingly casting gaze even further back. Like …

Zack Snyder has a Man of Steel movie hitting us in June and so far, he’s being more tight-lipped about the project than known mafioso Johnny Tightlips. Also, go suck a lemon. While we know that film reboots the last son of Krypton for a more serious approach, we haven’t seen much more than a minute and a half of …

One such film was announced a couple of years back already, and would see …

Usually for me, my new year’s resolution is the same each year: 1920 x 1080. Bad geek jokes aside though, this year I made myself a movie resolution in that I would try to watch way more foreign films. With the recent closures of the more arthouse-centric cinemas like the Labia and Cinema Prive, this might have been a pretty stupid …
