If you’re like me, then there are few things that scare you quite like returning to the use of VHS. Needing to clean the VCR’s head, tapes getting stuck, and, *GASP* having to remember to rewind the tape before you return it to the video store. Yeesh, I’m getting the heeby jeebies just thinking about it. So then I can …
It feels as if Judge Dredd has been in production forever now. The tale of an uncompromising lawman and a city on the verge of anarchy wrapped up shooting a while back, dealt with some controversy in the editing and titles booth, but general impressions reveal that the film, while not a contender for the Oscars, is going to be …
I rather enjoyed Wanted, despite the fact that it was possibly one of the worst big screen adaptations I’ve come across (The screenwriters famously only read the first 2 issues of Mark Millar’s controversial 6 issue comic series, before churning out a script), and most of that was due to Timur Bekmembatov’s bombastic direction.

One such title was Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs, a high-tech …
IGN released a trailer for new action comedy Soldier of Fortune yesterday. What’s that? You had never of Soldier of Fortune before? Well, to be frank, neither had I. Based on the actors involved though (Christian Slater, Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, Dominic Monaghan), my interest was piqued. And then promptly dashed again when I saw the trailer. It’s not incredi-bad, it just looks like …

I’ve got a love/hate relationship with Seth MacFarlane and his various animated shows. They can be forumlaic, drawn out and filled with ridiculously obscure jokes, resulting in quite a few misses, but when the man does nail that one joke perfectly, it’s like taking a chair-shot to the funny bone. Ted just might be one of those films which prove …
