Oh Adam Sandler, what I wouldn’t give for you to be funny and relevant once more. Over the last couple of years, your films have steadily declind, and the last time that I genuinely laughed, was in Don’t Mess with the Zohan. But that was at Benecio Del Toro, not you. And for your next project, my enthusiasm wanes even …
I don’t know about you lot, but having seen The Expendables 2 was one of my film highlights this year. Brash, in your face but always fun, the film was a real blast. It also made a decent dent at the box office, so seeing a third film (IN 3D!) isn’t out of the question. But we reckon that this …

He produced an incredible film under really tough conditions with First Class (he only …

Frankenweenie: Tim Burton’s macabre live-action short from the 1980s gets a feature-length remake, and is given the stop-motion animation treatment. This dark family comedy centres on a young …
“Conan, what is best in life?” “Having a resurging action star from the 80’s reprise the role that made him famous, using a story that sounds epic and showing the young reboot usurpers exactly how it’s supposed to be done. Also, hear the lamentations of their women. I think that last bit is important.” Last Updated: October 26, 2012
