Magic! It’s something that we don’t see enough of in films these days, with the sole exception of Heath Ledger demonstrating how to make a pencil disappear in The Dark Knight. But that might soon be a thing of the past, because 2013 has some illusion heavy films on the horizon. And one such abra kadabra movie stars Steve Carrell …

Whatever the reason, …
As a child, I was very fond of the Smurfs. You couldn’t help but be swept up in whatever smurfing adventure they found themselves every week, which is why I wasn’t surprised when the first film was released…but I was surprised at the way Hollywood approached it.

At this stage saying that I’m just a little bit excited for JJ Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness, is like saying that Darryn is just a little short. Now purists’ grumblings about the film’s action-centric slant aside, it’s hard to deny that that sequel’s first teaser trailer released earlier in the month was a bit of a gobsmacker. Well now …
