…HERCULES! HERCULES! I like Dwayne Johnson, I really do. I often felt that he was the natural successor to the Action Man throne vacated by Sly, Arnie and Bruce (which they then went and reclaimed themselves. Selfish old bags of leather!). So I can completely get behind him taking on the role of the Greek demigod, Hercules. Well I can …
With the governator out of office, Arnie has been hitting the movies hard again as of late. He’s got a full line-up of flicks, a new Conan movie on the horizon and he’ll be busting out of jail with Sly Stallone soon. But his comeback hasn’t exactly had him in a leading role yet. He’ll be hogging the spotlight though, …

What this is the third animated outing for The Weinstein Company, whose debut CGI effort, Hoodwinked, made some decent business at the box office, and received a moderate critical reception. It’s sequel …
No, not like that you perves. Arteron will instead be signing on Absolutely Anything, a new film that several members of the Monty Python group have been labouring away on for years. And it looks like she might be joined by regular mind-palace visitor, Benedict Cumbermatch as well. Last Updated: November 7, 2012
If there’s one thing to look forward to whenever a new Pixar film is released, it’s that delightful short movie that accompanies the feature presentation. They’re usually more experimental films, with lavish visuals and weird ideas that have a minimum amount of talking, but they’re always magical. One Man Band is my personal favourite, but that might soon be ditched …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
