I’ve got a deep love for films produced by Aardman animation. They’re charming, quirky and a classic throwback to the techniques of yesteryear, when animation was done by hand and not keyboard. That’s not to say that such modern ideas aren’t attempted at Aardman. It can be hit or miss sometimes though, and with Flushed Away, it was practically criminally …

The fact that George Clooney’s career actually survived the Bat-nippled fiasco that was Batman and Robin is a testament to his capability as a leading man. Him turning also turning into a pretty capable filmmaker surely didn’t hurt either.

Bill “Dreamgirls” Condon is currently in the lead to direct, and it looks like he had found his leading man to get tossed into a slammer on underage sex allegations, in the form …

Chris Evans has played a ladies man a couple of time now already. Once, he even did it while on fire. But his Captain America is a different beast altogether. I use “beast” in the most figurative terms there though, because when it comes to skirt chasing, he’s about as exciting as watching a painting of a stamp collection dry. …

We live in a crazy world, folks. A crazy, mad world where anything can happen … and now it has. Yes, it is official. I have now heard everything. You may ask, what has driven me to spew out all this whimsy? Three words. Besson. McG. Costner. Last Updated: October 3, 2012
