The upcoming animated comedy, Hell & Back boasts a pretty impressive cast of actors lending their voices to the project so far. Nick Swardson and TJ Miller are sharing lead roles, while other actors who cannot all be possibly named in this opening paragraph, are all set for the ride into the inferno.

He’s been entertaining our kids (well, actually mostly, us) for years, and he probably also taught most of you how to say “Cheese omelet” in French, and now Genndy Tartakovsky will finally be getting his big screen dues with Hotel Transylvania. But there’s another of the Russian-born animator’s highly popular creations that has been talked about making the cinematic transition for …
I’m not a really a fan of The Walking Dead TV series. Having experienced the zombie apocalypse through its original medium, comic books, the TV show has come off as a boring, underwhelming experience, that swaps logic for scenarios derived from an episode of the DayZ of our lives (ARMA fans, you can thank me later for that).

It’s still another 5 months until we can finally return to Middle Earth with Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The only way we’ve been keeping our excitement levels in check is through regular sessions of pointing and laughing at our very own hobbit, Darryn, (Have you seen how hairy his feet are?) but even that is starting to …

But would you consider lawn ornaments to be a priceless treasure? Will Ferrell does, and he’s going to make like Indiana Jones and plunder the crap out of your tomb/garden, as he saddles up to be the Flamingo Thief, …

Other times though, all it takes is an intriguingly simple premise, a confined location and a couple of good actors. As is the case with Compliance, a small film that …
John Hawkes is not exactly an everyday name, despite the fact that the talented character actor has been plying his trade for years now already. He really only came to most people’s attention with his magnetic turn in Winter’s Bone. That performance earned him an Oscar nomination, and if the buzz out of Sundance is to be believed, he’s about …
