This weekend will find a bunch of folks dressing in tight shorts and shoulder pads, chasing an ovoid little object covered in pig skin while beer swilling crowds scream their approval.

Make no mistake, director Shane Black has his work cut out for him, but hell, if these new teasers …
With 2012 behind us and 2013 looking like another promising year for sci-fi films, its time to get rolling with a more spacey theme for today’s Top List Thursday.

The man has finally broken out of his awkward Office shell, and has developed a style that suits him, from films such as Despicable Me through to Dinner for Schmucks and Seeking a friend for the end of the world. And in The Amazing Burth Wonderstone, he’s …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
