Oh Hollywood, you have some brilliant timing these days. Announce one big budget film, and you can be certain that a leeching mockbuster studio such as Asylum films will immediately pounce on the same idea, but twisted enough to avoid getting sued.

And while he hasn’t made another vampiric movie …
You guys won’t believe this, but I’ve got a trailer here for The Lone Ranger, and it has a Armie Hammer to Johnny Depp ratio of at least 65% in his favour. I mean, the film is actually about him, ain’t it? And it seems that early trailers were taking advantage of the Johnny Depp name in order to get …
Thanks to a little American tradition known as the Superbowl weekend, cinemas were relatively quiet while teams of brightly dressed men rammed into each other in order to retrieve a pig-skin. Thus, while fans sat in bars and lounges dining on fine gourmet meals such as barbecue chicken wings and beer in a can, movies were neglected. Still, there were …
